ot the shoe proper, and the heel plate
enlarged.
Of all the newer articles that are

It is rumored that the misising
horse was the climax to a most njoy-
able ride one evening last week, by
several persons connected with the
Base Hospital. It seems upon inves
tigation that as our subjects were trot
ting past a certain orchard not a great
di'Sitance from here they noticed some
attractive fruit and concluded to sam
ple a bit of it, fastening the animals
to a convenient fence. While they
were partaking of the fruit some one
else was apparently taking the horse
for when they returned, he was among
those absent. No known traces have
been found to date so they tell us.
P\t. L. C. Hancock is a,gain with us
alter “knocking ’em dead’’ in New
Haven, Conn., for a few days. ' "
We express our deepest regrdt and
extend our sympathy to Sergeant Wil
liam Moore, who has been called to
Philadelphia, Penn., by the death of
his mother.
Who is that man of haughty mien.
With ample chest and peanut bean.
And movement like a Ford machine?
Why, Sonny, that’s the sergeant.
Who’s busy as a bumblebee,
’fo get you up at reveille,-
And shouts your name in strident
key?
Why, bless you, that’s the sergeant.
Who yelks, “Right Dress’’ and “Right
oy Fours,”
And gets as mad as all out doors—
And sends you out to do the chores?
You’re right, that’s the Sergeant.
Who carries all the world’s disgrace,
Writ in furrows on his face.
And looks for trouble every place?
Why, that must be the Sergeant.
Who cries “Fall in,” and when you do.
Says, “As you were, you rough-neck
crew.”
“Fours right about; I’ll put you
through!’’
Why sure, that’s like the sergeant!
Why does the poor boy act this way?
Will he be General some day?
No, Sonny, quite the other way.
For Hell is full of Sergeants!
