JHE "HE HEAR" PAGE i
WE HEAR that our old pale who left Fort Seward for the State a about
month ago were converted from Doughboys into Artillerymen ^
when they hit Camp Lewie, 0 Boy, can you picture Uncle Charlie
Rumetsch riding a caisson?
And AT 1HAT, our exil^ report that they left the Regulafc Army in
Alaska,•there's nothing but Labor Battalions in the Stare.,
WE HEAR,too,thi»t the change to the Rediegs was more than "Woof! Woof#
and LaLonde could stand, so ns the next worst bet,they picked
the- Pick and Shovel Gang, and are now members of the Engineers,
And THE PLAINT of them all is** "How would you like to be 95 eents
from Seattle, 17 mil^s from Tacoma,'•and BROKE?" Alaska has
its compensations*
JHE HALIBUT HOUNDS have, begun to acquire new members. The latest
admissions to the Order are Sg't.ilajor Ross, Sgt.Miller, and
Sgt .Harney, who took their dip at home, and Pvt.Porter,who
was given the first degree at Hawk Inlet.
W£ HEAR,too,that there’s one Captain on the Post who admit* being
a bird. At least,write Capt.Goose,and He’ll sign right under it.
FROM THE RANGE comes this one;
Capt*Edwards; "I’ll see if you flinch."
The Chaplain; "No. Look and sae if I cant".
" EMBER DAYS".
" Do you ever dream of'Ember Days;
November days, I mean, •
When fields and trees through Autumn has©
Are shorn of summer green?
When leaves lie down upon the ground,
When quail and partridge walk;
And forest aisles give forth the sound
Of forest dwellers’ talk?
Do you ever dream of ’ Ember Days
With mornings crisp and eool,
7i/h9n tilray. ice, like silver, lays
On every sheltered pool?
And tiny frost gems dot the grass
And all the timbers tall?
For better days could man e’er aek
Than ’Eriber Days in Fall? "
