Items of Interest From Base Hospital
Ward 12
Groans and commentations emanate
from Ward 12 Is Captain Bacon neg
lecting bls patients" Are bones refusing
to knit? Has the mess changed for th<-
worse? No! In answer to every one of
those questions. No!
What then is responsible for the mani
fest distress'. Why. Ward Master Beau
Brummel Matthes is getting his dis
charge. Next Monday he bids us adieu,
and leaves us to our “gold-brickiDk” or
bone hatching as the rase may be —and is
he sorry to leave us? He Is not sorry.
He is dolling himself up like a member
of a Modern Woodmen uniform drill team
and he babbles incoherently of open fire
places. brandy and sodas, square meals,
etc., just as though he never served any
time at the Base Hospital.
For he is going to the “rubber city”
—Akron, Ohio, not the city of.tears, but
the city of tires. where he may again
join forces with Goodrich, where prior to
the days lie has been devoting to the
crushing of autocracy, he held sway over
the service department.
Arthur Matthes was a good ward mas
ter. To begin with, he ha r.a sense of hu
mor an dthat rare faculty of mixing
common sense with '‘regulations” in a
way to even satisfy the hoys of the
“broken bone” brigade.
We re glad you have your discharge
but hate to see you go. Matt. But the
Jaw of compensation steps in and what
Ward 12 loses. Akron gains.
Sgt, Staven's of the Cavalry, is back
with us. He is glad to be back with
us. He is among friends in Ward J 2.
He was here long enough for the nurse to
become familiar with his eccentricities.
Y es, he has them but. she not only became
acquainted wit htheni. But tolerated them.
She must have told the nurse in Ward
11 about her find, because she, too. seem
ed to find him an interesting specimen.
Some say Steve doesn’t wan’! .to get
well. However, we don’t believe in cir
culating idle rumors.
Sgt. Bird of the Ordnance Headquar- i
tors Supply Company. is proving to be a
very interesting case in Ward 12. He is a
litth worried now as to the length of
his fracture. In some fashion he saw K the
chart of his case, and b<- thinks it v. as
marked “Fracture one-sixth of an inch.”
lift says it could have been intended for
“sixteen Inches’’ arid he is not sure—
‘•Fox! Oh, Fox'" Hie want’s a plaster
cast.)
Doc Heyman Pododaick is a living ex
ample if the marvels of medical science.
He now twirls a cane a la Charley Chap
lin and no longer Iles awake nights fig
uring on how his beneficiaries should In
vest his insurance. Doc had a simple, frac
ture of the left nether limb and great
hopes are now held out for his recovery.
“I can't walk without the cane.’’
Sgt. C. G. Crouse has evolved a meth
od for straightening stiff arms that he
thinks beats the massag»’s suggested by
Captain Bacon. Every night you can
R« <■ him juggling a couple of white cubes.
These “bones” are not easily fractured.
And here Is a. ■ little tip for the girls
down town. Crouse talks in his sleep.—
sometimes in a most illuminative manner.
Co beware! beware!
Who is it that would rather sleep a lit
tle Iffte than to go after the morning
“disappointment'’ in the m»ss hail?
Who is it that hastens one lady away,
so that lie may properly receive the next
fair visitor? Who is it that Augusta’s
fairest delight to bring sweetmeats ami
tidbits to?
Dear reader, let us introduce—Eddie
Herr.
Eddie stays out late at night and spends
the next day reading.

must have been drunk- when he wrote

leaves us shortly. We will miss his dis
courses and gentle philosophy of life.
H' tells Manny Schwartz that Captain
Bacon never made a suggestion to him in
his life —Diana at the bath, appeared to be
in a very good humor. Why must these
boys quarrel.
Ball says that the longer he stays in bed
the Jess he finds he knows. He has
mapped out a course of study when li<>
gets out of the army that will require
about 35 years to complete. He will then
probably apply for a second lieutenancy
in the army.
Martin Russell has cast his coat. off. |
His hand is as stiff as a new-made i
shave-tail but he thinks after a few more 1
bakings, he will be able to fol? .• cigar
ette in addition to his other duties.
One of the most, delightful entertain
ers and charming hosts who has resided
in our ward left us a day or two ago—
Mr. “Shorty” Schutte, ex-circus magnate.
Before leaving he entertained Dr. Aila
bene of the ’ Y.”
“Dennis” Horgan and “Sarg” Immer
man at a delightful dinner party at the
Partridge inn. He didn’t know- he was
going to do this until it came time to
pay the check, and then his guests gently
but firmly broke the news to him that
he was the host, fie rose gracefully to
the ocoassion and went even so far as to
have his “guests” weighed on a slot
machine —one of the “drop coin here" va
riety.
Dr. Allabene explained in full to the cir
cus man the value of “repeated impres
sions but to date no second invitations
have been forth Coming.
Scotty Campbell is regaining his old
Urn** “pep.” Says now he knows why
Kipling wrote “There’s no discharge in
a war.” Sh»- is waiting back in “lil
ole N’ York” and Scottoy says time
"hangs heavy.”
Bill Klumpp, the “hop” kid from the
Bronix, has taken the places of two of
our three charming nurses, recently de
parted. and now is kept busy kneading
patients—Bill certainly is taming his
“mess.”
As we go tn pfess the patients in Ward
12 are not busy taking up a. collection to
buy a token of appreciation to be pre
sented to the mess sergeant who holds
sway over their destinies. Not yet!

F>erc Paw: Ther was a boob come into
the Co. street to-day, askin for the
shortest iut to tlic Base Hospital and
Rod Maney told him to go over to Sergl.
Quinn's (ent and holler “3 cheers for the
Kaiser.’’ and he’d find himself in the
■ Rase inside of 5 minutes. I told yu that
story in another letter, in another wav
‘ but its such a good one that I thought
yu d like to hear It again
It sure has been some wet to-day and
1 I've been offal busy. The cook sent me
over tn the infirmity to get a bottle of
Snake’s Foot Oil. for Ms ru mat ism an the
Doc he says: “Tell (he cook that ontil
he sends back that ball of firin line I
\ lent him last week, he’ll have to get
’ along without that Aumatisrn Liney
iru nt.” I’ve b-en all over Camp lookin’
for that firin-line but every one says he
, lent it to some one else and the last fello
, said it was in the GemTal’s roll top desk,
hut that’s one place I couldn’t get. into
, although it aint because I didn’t try. So
here I am wet and sore and if the cook
; had the St. Altus’s dance with his in
flamatoty rurnatism with the malary
. chills thrown in for good measure. I’d
, let him jump shake and suffer for all o’
me.
I been takin Equatoration lately. That's
the aintific way to ride a horre but. by
the way the back of my neck feels , I like
the old way best. Yu know when J used
to ride old Bess down to tin Corners
after the mail an I just cropped my legs
around her middle and my hands in her
main afi let her flicker. The instructor
says yu must mount by standin at at
tention with the bridegroom in one hand
and the reins in the other, then at the
word of command grasp the candle of flic
saddle with one hand and the pummel
with another, then crack yur heels to
gether and spring lightly into the sad
dle. This sounds easy to him and hv
the way he spoke you’d think I had as
many hands as a spider or a devil-fish. I
didn't need to crack my heels together,
th» horse d’ t that for me and as for litin
in the saddles the best I ever did was
.three out uv fi. I didn’t exactly fall but
; the horse had gone on before I got around
,to come down. Hence the sore neck ns
spoke in my previous. Finally I begun
to ketch on and that horse beln an old
champagner helped. He begun to hunch
: up his back to meet me half way but (he
I trouble was he overdid it. I never sposod
; here was so many places on a horse to
' light on and never strike the saddle. The
I horse got tired of it first at. that, as he
passed on after the steenth bounce and 1
lit on my own back for a change. The
Loot complimented me when I recovered
unconsciousness. He says: “Joe. if yu
keep that up yu ot to get a comish in
the Rough Riders.” I says: “Loot, yu
showed me how to mount, now tell me
how to dismount.” “Yu don’t need any
destruction on that, Joe,” he says “YTi
do that natural.”
i Well, to make a short story long, as the
fello says, I tried to strangle that horse
j ridin him the way I rode old Bess, but
; the more 1 hugged his neck, (he more
; he bucked until lie got one of his hoofs
! caught in the stirp. I always was a
i good checker player anl I see at once it
was my move. “Why didn’t yu wait
for the order ot. dismount?” he says
’’Well, Loot, when T see that horse try
in to get on,” says I, “I thought it was
time for me to get off.”
I I got measured the next day for a
| horse. The boys seemed to think that
, the previous one didnt fit me. We hav
a canvas covered horse, stuffed with
straw (not. a live one) down at the coral,
that the greenhorns practice put tin packs
and saddles on when the other mules is
busy. Well, they put me on this one to
take my measure ns I done so well at
everything else but the Equatoration.
that it must hav been just my luck to
get a misfit for a horse. They done a
lot of measurin with mo on an off that
horse, seems so, to measure a whole
troop but I gess its worth it. They
wanted me to gn down again today to get
another fit, but I hadnt time. I aint got
all the red paint often my britches yet
Some one had been careless and spilled
a can of paint on Hurt canvas horse an
no one noticed it ontil it was too late.
F. S.—l’m confined to quaters agin.
Just my luck If they was such a thing
as bein confined to nickels. I’d be it.
F S. S —The horse I drew seemed to be
smaller than the old one. 1 never seem
ed to be able, to hit him at all, when 1
lit. but he seems to like me as he eat
out of my band and slapped me on the
shoulders with his front paw. So wishin
vu the sme. 1 am yur son at present.
JOE BENOR.
The train had been waiting a long time
in the little station, and the impatient
tourist, tiring of the delay, put his head
out of the window and said to the guard
“j say, my man, why aren’t we going
on ? Anything wromr ”
I ‘ sir.” replied ; ‘ trd. looking
I up from his alfresco iuiiuu. there’ naeth
■ ing wvonti. but I canna whistle the noo,
j ma mouth’s full o’ biscuit.”
; The reverend gentleman had for a long
, while back been worrying how to meet
the parish expenses. As he sat musing in
! front of his paraffin lamp, in the early
I hours of the morning, a bright scheme
i flashed through his mind
i The next Sunday morning, after mount
j Ing the pulpit, he gave out the following
t notice:
1 “Dear brethren, it nrieves me much to
; tell you of the horrible thing that has
occurred in this parish. Some one has
stolen a fowl from the yard of one of our
1 esteemed parishioners.
“To prove that I am not the receiver of
| ill-gotten goods, will the thief refrain from
putting anything into the plate?”
The subsequent collection more than
covered all the expenses.
The chief of a government office —ke
wasa very great man. too —informed his
particular typist that he was quite aware
that she occassionallv indulged in a cig
arette and that he objected to her cultiva
tion of the hopeful week during office
hours.
“Oh.” she murmured, sweetly. “1 only
smoke to >i\ you embarrassment.”
“Me! Embarrassment!’’ spluttered the
gr ‘t one.
’Well, you s'e. you couldn't smoke in
mv presence quite as frequently as you do
will-,out asking permission, could vou. un
less you were aware that I didn’t object
j to smoke?”
i And rumor avs that next time the big
man asked if he might light up.
THE MEN FROM GERMAN
PRISON CAMPS KNOW.
Five months in a German prison camp
was the ill fortune of Corporal R.
Feeney, Fourth Canadian Rifles, a native
of Johnstown, Pa. His experience at
Rastatt confirmed a conviction which ex
plains why he crossed over to Canada and ;
enlisted long before the United States en
tered the war. Corporal Feeney sat up
in bed in one of the big. airy dormitories |
at Eagle Hut in London, enjoying a ffcie I
cup of coffee that a Y. M. C. A.
has brought him with a stack of cakes I
like those which pleased King George so !
much when he visited Eagle Hut recent- i
ly. He orew a long, « omented sigh of
relief and stretched a bit As he did so.
his shirt sleeve dropped back, revealing
to the “Y" girl some ungly looking scars.
I 1 As she shrank from the sight, the cor
poral said:
“That’s what you get when those orutes
i of Prussian officers are put over the pris
oners ot war. If ever i hr - t • '•(her Hun
i’ll fix him properly—war or no war. hun
dreds of our boys died ot starvation and
neglect, and more would have gone the
same way if it had not been lor the
Home Relief Committee and the. Ameri

work in providing food and clothing.

M. C. A., it's safe to say. has never been
in a German prison camp.
