To lose the grub manufacturer is
the chief of calamities. To be left In
v. the lurch with an empty stomach is
1 almost as bad as filling it with shrapnel.
Such 1s the tragedy which befell
Battery C of the 147th field artillery,
better known as A company,

got lost in Chicago. And the
MTy, - poor boys must be starving!

"i~'them. Would you believe it? No wonV;
der, riding saw horses, for such are

horses but they are iron men.
In the ordnance department five

the satisfction of his comrades, has

CORPORAL CHARMS SNAKE
AND NOW HAS NEW PET
District of Columbia Man Started
to Take a Bath, Found Snake,
Exciting Events Followed.
The Western troops may talk about
their broncho busters and "prize ?
fighters" and heavy "eaters," but ?
when it comes to snake charmers they /"
will have to hand It to Corporal King,
of Company L, of the Third District
of Columbia regiment, and the interesting
thing about it all is the fact
that no one in the regiment even suspected
that there was anyone superhuman
in their bunch. It all happened
this way.
Corporal King went down to take
a bath, and as he sat on the bench
which runs the length of the bath
house a slight noise aroused him from
his peaceful pursuit. Looking up he
beheld a large black snake colled up
on the bench beside him. To retreat
or not to retreat was the question. Ho
made a desperate grab and seized that
snake by the?tall. It is here that the
charm comes in. The snake wound
itself around the corporal's arm and
hissed in his ear. Just what it said
no one knows, but it is known, however^
that Corporal King, still hanging
to the snake's tall, betook himself
in all haste to his tent But such
was the magic of the doughty corporal's
art, that the snake no longer
hissed. Now Corporal King has a vnew
pet ?
OREGON BATTERYMEN MAY r
TEACH NEW ARTILLERYMEN
Batteries A and B, Oregon field artillery,
according to latest advices, are
being converted into instructional batteries.
The previous experience of many of
the men of these two popular units
will be of great advantage to them.
The men who make up these batteries
are one of the finest sets "of fellow
that ever came to camp, full of fun,
but each man a gentleman. The commanding
officer, Capt. Bert Clayton, is
adjutant pro tern at headquarters.
Lieut Arthur Jackson is acting commander
in the absence of Captain ^
Clayton.
One man who will have his hands e
1 full for some time to come is Sergeant
Harpole. He will have in the course
of a few days 160 more horses to care
for. a
Several of the men who have been, f
constant visitors to the Y. M. C. A.*
are loud in their praise of the courteous
treatment shown them by the
officials.
Battery B is-hard at work. Each
day brings the men in closer association
with the duties of the soldier.
Captain Johnson is of opinin that,
with a little more training, his men
could nearly bring the kaiser to time
without any aid from the allies.
Last Monday found a bunch of angry
men nicely settled down, when
along comes the order to shift camp.
But obedience coihes first in a soldier's
carer. The battery crossed the ditch
and are now encamped on the hillside.
Net gain to Battery B, one well policed
street.
We took a sly look at the batteries
while at their setting up exercises.
It happened to be on the morning
when a little more pep was required.
"Enough said."
One thing must be said about the
boys, which reflects great credit on
them; they are all churchgoers, and
several of them are seeking memberships
in the various city churches.
Has any one seen young Dan Cupid
in camp?
It doesn't matter what a man undertakes
in this world there la always
some one ready to criticise. Bill
Smith, of Battery A mounted one of
Harpole's bucking bronchos and dismounted
on the broad of his back.
The critic said: "Bill ought to Hhve
taken an inside sea*.. He'd have been
safer."
Visitor?Is the general commanding
at home,
Orderly?No sir, Corporal Jenks is.
