CAPT.GOODE’S ’’ALOHA LUAU"
With Company "E"’s dining room gaily decked with flags,-the tables
crowded with choice foods especially prepared for the occasion,-surrounded
by the enlisted men whom he had so long commanded, and in whom he had shown
such an intense human interest, -Capt*Paul ReGoode nade his farewell ad
dress last Sunday, and thanked the non for the banquet they had given in
his honor. His speech was short, for he was too choked with emotion to talk, *
but. it was typical of the nan we all liked so well# ’’Fellows1’, he said, ’’it1 s s4
damned hard to say Goodbye* ”•
It is men. of the calibre of Captain Goode who nake ’’soldiering” a
privilege and a pleasure# For he was a Han,-an Officer,-and a Gentleman,
and in the hearts of the members of Company ”E”,-"their own *Pop* Goode.”
With him go their well wishes and hopes for his future successes and best
of good fortune.

THE "CAMBRAI" .HAS COME1 AND GONE. The members of Congress expressed themselves
as Very, well pleased: wi.th; Chilkoot Barracks, and were impressed most of all,
they said, by -the fine, neat, upstanding appearance of the men* Several of
the visitors remarked that the soldiers of Chilkoot Barracks were the "best
looking lot- of men that they had seen in their observations of Army Posts
while on the trip”. Spare our blushes. No wonder those fellows are elected
to Congress* • • ‘ .

the "Canbrai" were in port. The lady ’?ho thought that "such a little bear
.singly couldn’t be vicious"..was quickly disillusioned, and the girl who
wanted **er picture taken witn "the little dear" probably wouldn't care
to have her friends see the photo that the camera snapped., But outside
of those two incidents,"hoots" behaved very nicely,

exceeds the supply. -. - •
OUR OLD FRIEND "MIGO” RODGERS,, reputed the best bugler in the Army,has left for
Vancouver Barracks. The musical department of the Post is now left to the
tender mercies of Messrs.Nyberg,Gardiner, and "Soup" Baker. However, it must
be admitted that the way those lads blow Reveille would pull anybody out
of bed in the morning-for the purpose of cussing ’em out,-and by the same
token, their Taps would send anybody to the protection of the sheets.We111
leave it to you.
