With the passing of the Holidays and the advent of the Hew Year we feel
core like our old selves again, and while we think of it, it night he \7ell
to express a hope that the new year v/ill bring something better to every one
in the post than the last one did* HUP 3RD* Medical nev/s is scarce this sea
son, no one sick, no one gets hurt, tuff luck, what? $his post is too dam
healthy* Bill Whipple, Assistant Post Carpenter is sojurning in the Hospital,
and just at present he is being baked three times a day before Deals and. as
soon as we get electric lights (so we can get electricityjwe are, maybe, per
haps going to use hin for an incadescent* So you see that Bill has a long
stay in the hospital, (waiting for the lights) when we get fem we wonft need
fen except at midnight* A soldier by the name BAKER had his tonnails amput
ated soDe tine ago and the fuss that he made gave us considerable cause for
merriment, If you liave dark seorets that you aon*t want known, never take
anesthetic* It will cause you to call your best friend by his last nanes and
several other nanes that are not to be found in 7ebsterfs, and divulge things
that you should keep to your self* As previously stated Medical Hews is
scarce, but it night be well to state here that the Cook has scrubbed his
kitchen six tiDes since the water cane on, either trying to catch up or
preparing for the tine when it goes off again, (which is it, Cointin? )*
If the wheather don11 change and the water don*t quit running down the hill
and the alley the hospital will soon be down in the spud patch, never go down
in our basenent with out hip boots or a rowboat, at least hang a life preser
ver around your neck* But thats all right it will soon be spring, and the
springs will all stop flowing and our basenent will get dry* But that is nei
ther here nor there the thing that concerns us most is the weather* didja ever
see such like? Ibis tine last winter we had already had enough skin rubbed
off various parts of our separate anatomy* s to mke a very good skin (bare
skin) but so far we have had no skii-ing no coasting, no nothing, and that
is the chief reason why buisness is so dull for the pill rollers, but we
should worry* Say Bo, when do we get nail again? Anh say when we get our
three years in how do we get out, with no boats?
While we think of it, it has been reported that Merrian is in love and
has oade a vow never to Diss a trip to Skagway, looks like you could fall in
love closer to hone, old thing, at least it would be core economical to do
so, what ? Since ;vHoudy:i (shell) has required a cog team he is almost
unbearable and so are his dogs, they have so much ,Jpep;< and "Go" that they
howl all night trying to get out and go* Well it is time to go to press so
as much as we regret it, we must close, with kindest personal regards (if
you donft believe we are kind, just get sick, and you will be kinda glad to
got well )• Au Revior,
