Lis i'kkss: it u the permission
of The Preps, will give eorueof
the details of a uew soldier's lite
iu the service of the Uuited States,
such as has beeu my cxprieuce,
I wilt first say that a soldier's life
is not a ted of roses. There are a
great mauy people, no doubt, who
do not know what constitutes a
soldier's life and trials. I will
try to tell them bow it is as I have
found it since I enlisted. ,
I enlisted ou the 27th, of Feb
ruary, 1902, at Ducktown, Teuii;
I weut before the doctor -.for'-"ex
amination as to my physical fit
ness for a soldier, and as 'passed
a successful examination, . I was
then sworn in, thereby acknowl
edging allegiance to "Uncle Sam,'
and to serve honestly atd ', faith
fully for a period of four years.
I left Ducktowu the next day
for San Francisco, the centre ; of
urobilizatioii for all troops, both
trained and untrained. After a
journey of seveu days, we arrived
at the Presidio to begin r new
life in earnest. Ouarrivnigat the
recmitina. camp at Presidio, I was
taken in hand by a Corporal, and
was ordered to get ready to draw
the necessary articles to begin

Duriug the n.'xt few days I wagi
drilled iu the fiiciis and ealutes, '
and then for a few (lays in Iho Use '
and nauuiing ot a gun. l lien we
were thought to bo proficient
enough to do duly, we were then
restored to duty. When I went
ou duty I was put on guard. A
guard ie a 24 hour watch, aud is
divided into three reliefs, 1st, 2nd
autj .Hrd relief. A aoutiuel walks
his post 2 hours.aud thou re,sts 4
hours. So he has to Walk 8 hours
out of 24. This done, 1 waa con
sidered a $wbii?r. '
After staying ' tber.e guarding
prisoner uutil July 17th, my
company was moved toils present
station here at Fort Casey, Wash
ington., We left Oaklaud,Cal,, ou
the 17th, at 2 p. m., on a special
traiu and came through the states
of CahforuiBj Oregou aud VV'usb-
ingtou as far as Seattle, and from
there we came to this place ou a
stern-wheel steamer', the "Alice
Gertrude." .
The trjp-through the above
named states was indeed a pleuS"
ant oue. The sceuery was both
pretty aud boutely, smooth aud
rough beyond comparisoul .';',

It puzzled all our kith and kin,
It reached an awful pitch;
For t-ne of us wna born a twin,
And not a soul knew which.
For John turned out a fool-

To every one I knew:

To prove that you were fronf"

Before our names were fixed,
As we were being washed by nurse, '

And thus, you eee. by Fute's decree,
(Or rnther nurse's whim).
My brother John got christened ate,
And 1 ct christened ft'tu.
Our close resemblance turned the tide
Of our domentlc life;
For somehow my Intended bride
became my brother's wife.
