Flshiing Twelfth [wm are having the tin?e of their lives v II 1 H strolling around the woods with raa rhino guns, while the boys in C.omKxefJffl panv K are doing skirmish and right H ff [g front into line. We understand that I Qu SI ,hc does all the fatigue for 41 us when we hit the trenches. NothB i ng would give us more pleasure than ?_ boys in Company K prepare our niaV, PJCKjM chine gun emplacements. HLJtfV Corporal Morford is back on the PhJ job. His little trip to New York state netted him a brjdo. Private Walsh made a, flying trip lo Cleveland. He came back the otliei; day. but was pretty shaky on \ WH his pins. \ vEa Private McCort received a fine \ worsted helmet. It's pretty warm for helmets these days.' but it could be used to dry his messkit. Privates Van Duzer and Flossie Da.is are getting real chummy these I days. Van even dries Flossie's messs.

Now, however, all is chang\ le Boxers Are i ": M/U^^tfejit v-l~ fT; ' . ;1 alBf i * '^?5^5 led; once more the glaring headlines proclaim what'3 what In Company. D. ! Heard in mqss hall last week: Lieutenant Lynch to Private DicamHlio? "Dicamillio. why is water purified, by boiling?" Dicamillio: "Because it's ' boiled." Did you ever stop to con' "!J "D..?,.IK?aI. ?' that If liwliw were sunshine, you'd be in the dark? Never mind, Pocketbook. you are all brains from the feet down. ! Owing to the energy of Captain Clement. Company D is the proud possessor of a victrola. Henceforth. ! on passing the niess hall one might hear the strains of "canned" music I softly wafted from the windows. And ' intermixed, might nlso be heard the desperate attempts of such unfortuj nates who are forced to attend the ' singing class. Sherman said a mouth! ful when he quoted "War is hell." Moradiano. our dark complexioned I Chinese friend, had charge of the scc| ond squad today. j Everyone congratulates Meyer on his sudden promotion. When a man j has been in the service 15 years it is about time he was made corporal. ! But hereafter, corporal, it would be | better to say "squad halt!" than ; ward, but you arc learning fast. Of course we don't mean to insult ! anyone, but we hare an opinion of a j man who smokes tarred rope for a cigar. I wouldn't smoke those Cheap' ixto cigars, even if they are a hun! dred for a dollar. j Private Mauthe is drilling recruits. ; Well, it takes a recruit to drill a re* . cruit. tit's learning fast, though. BASEBALL. GAMK. Last Sunday afternoon there was a pretty game of baseball on the-ground I at V 104. Co. 1 and Co. K of the' | Thirty-ninth infantry participated. ) Kelly's pitching was the feature and , he let the batters in Co. I down light I for the five innings Xhat he pitched. Batteries for Co. I?Kiris and Williams. Batteries for Co. K?Johnson (4), Kelly (5). and Sanders. The score was 11 to 4 ie lavor of Co. K. The spectators included sev to the companies of the 39th to give us many other games.

LYON & HEALY S3-C4 Jackson Boulevard CHICAGO n Th^ieth COMPANY C, FIFTY-EIGHTS"" IN FANTRY. _ Company C's barber is on a furlough. Gee. he'd better hurry back, or we'll all look like bears. Old Pop I.ynch sure Is getting away with it soft. He claims he is half blind, but he sure sees those sevens and .elevens when he rolls the old bones. The fourth squad's sweethearts are all going back or. them. Gee. boys, what a relief! But Corporal Race's girl tells him the worst is yet to come. Oh. boys! Privates Conine. Hersche and Trottier and Corporal'Nichleson, who are attending signal school, think they say they are the "Brains of the Army." > The non-coma go to school in fdtlgue clothes. Oh, well, their clqthes won't get dirty while digging, -We all like to hear Corporal Fagan give the commands "right dress" and "front." The old humpty sure can spiel her out Some. Private De ' Selle^nes got his discharge. Poor boy! We wonder who he is telling his experience to now? Sergeant Bennette got a big bull dog lately and he thinks more of It than he does of the whole company. He says, "Just so 'Mack' gets his meals, I don't care." But listen, boys, he is some dog. Private Hersche is always speaking of that girl of his back In Wilmerring. Pa. _ Oh! go on; give him 10 days anyhow. * As soon as the rookies came in Old Pop Lynch, was around looking for ball -^payers. He certainly has a peppy team. V.orpuru.1 f lunvy is kciuiik suuu around here. He sees that the squadg have ^enough coal for the night. Sergeant Kuhn Is still ill. Wfi hope he gets well soon, especially Conine and Hersche, so he can play some more baseball, with them. Corporal Koth, our company clerk, is out of luck. Ho could not get a pass to go to town on Sunday evening. Private Krug seems to snap out or it "here lately. Oh! no wonder! He is a sniper ndw. Corporal Kraus, who returned a few days ago from a furlough, says he had one swell tinie. We don't doubt it a bit, as the old Louisiana boy is surely- a honey, especially when he uses that old piece of "cold steel." Our mess sergeant is overjoyed since Privates Wintersgill'and Yelovack have gone to the machine gun outfit He says there is more to eat for the rest of us. Private Christiansen, the old sol Idler, sure is some good drillmaster. j He even holds evening school for oyr rookies. Go to it, old man; we wish you all the success in the wide world.

"A rood woman loved ,by, all IOHMk know her, admired by thoser covet an acquaintaccshlp and *mmm smile that lights up everything taH'i eyerybody near her, was approached by a meeeenger boy.- The boy's firto looked like a thunder cApudu Hb . voice rumbled like a milk-wagon on a cloudy morning.
