| Troop L Out of Quarantine.
Down to Hard Work at Drilling.
All the Boys Enjoying the
Best of Health.
By Corp. Harry J. Cohen.
Camp Thomas J. Stewart,
El Paso, Texas, Aug. 5th.
It doesn’t seem quite fair that
while all the fellows are sporting in
town this afternoon I must still be
penned up as if our quarantine
hadn’t been lifted, but such is
the case. This morning Captain
Huff gave us a final chest and
throat inspection and immediately the
announcement rang forth that Troop
L was once more in its own sphere and
a power to be reckoned with. - But as
for myself it just happens to be my
Irish luck (even though my name is
Cohen) that my turn of having charge
of quarters should fall on this event-
ful day. The announcement of this
news brought forth three big hurrahs
followed by a tiger.
The week as a whole rolled by with-
out any real important happenings,
but we were given an insight into real
war-fare the early part of the week
when we took up for instruction pa-
trol duty, followed by battle forma-
tions, and all the rushes, charges and
the different movements pertaining
thereto. These instructions were such
that we were out of the vicinity of our
camp for about three hours at a time,
and often across the line that divides
Texas from New Mexico. The coun-
try there is about opposite from where
we are camped, and while we were
manouvering on the base of Mt.
Franlin, of the Sierra Nevada range,
we had time to notice the abundance
and the different varieties of cactus
and other wild plants which abound-
ed there.
One thing was evident, and that
was that while we are encamped on a
sand desert, and consequently in the
midst of sand storms, on the New
Mexico side it is all loose stones.
Sergeant Shreffler remarked that he
would a whole lot sooner be overtaken
by a sand storm than by a stone
storm. Judging by the size of the
stones, all seemed to agree with him
ever, that so far as picturing a scene,
words cannot describe the beauty of
the wild life characteristic with this
part of the country.
I had promised to report the case
against “Tip” Sanford for maintain-
ing a nuisance. The same was pulled
off without a hitch, and Sandford and
the dog were found guilty. Of course
it was up to us to find out which one
was the nuisance and Sanford’s at-
torney, Corporal Yeager, pleaded for
a new trial, which was granted. But
the poor pup got loose on Wednesdav
[of last week and we haven't seen hide
nor hair of him since. Sanford is not
the same boy he was, and refuses to
be consoled over his loss.
Also I must mention here as a puff
for myself that my letters in the
“Watchman” have created such a
wonderful world-wide reputation for
me that my genius has at last been
| recognized and I was chosen as the
dignified stenographer of the court.
My first job was taking care of the
notes in the case of the Troop vs.
J. A. Robinson, of Milesburg, charg-
ed with the wilful neglect of govern-
ment property, in not remembering
where he placed his rifle (grave
charge.) After deliberating pro and
con between District Attorney Deer-
ing and Robinson, who refused ‘ the
aid of counsel, he was found guilty
and sentenced to the woodpile for one
hour each day for an entire week.
There is also a similar charge pend-
ing against one Sherman Lowry, of
Coleville, and if he has any friends in
- Eggtown they had better get busy, as
it looks real blue for the boy.
We are looking forward now to the
issuing of horses, which may happen
any day, and every man has been giv-
en minute instruction on the saddling
and bridling of the horse. We get
the loan of a mule every afternoon
for this purpose. The picket line is
now up and every evening will find us
clearing a new drill field of all under-
growth, so as to be in readiness with
all detail.
This morning we had our first reg-
imental review, and was inspected on
the field by Col. Wood and in our
quarters by Major Fetzer. We are
now sandwiched in between the in-
fantry on the south and the artillery
on the north, and while our regiment
is not blessed with a band, still mu-
sic always permeates the air from
both sides of us. These branches of
the Pennsylvania service were for-
merly located at Camp Pershing,
close to Fort Bliss, but after we were
comfortably placed they were moved
north on either side of us, and have
made things quite home-like to us.
The health of the Troop is now bet-
ter than at any time since we landed
here, and as the isolation camp for
the measles has been abandoned we
are together again plugging our way
to efficiency under the direction of
our capable officers. ;
Kindly do not take much interest
in the snake stories you hear so
much about, as they are the result of
an imaginative mind more than a re-
ality, and only tend to worry the peo-
ple at home. :
Regards to all friends from the
members of Troop L.
in this matter. It must be said, how- i
——Henry J. Darenkamper, of Lock
Haven, has been appointed a guard in |
the hospital at the new penitentiary
day of last week.
Dr. H. A. Surface, the State
Economic Zoologist, has finally decid-
ed that it is no use to buck against
the powers higher up, and has an-
nounced that he will step down and
out of office on August 15th, the time
limit given him by Secretary of Agri-
culture Charles E. Patton.
!
Mrs. Solomon Poorman, an
aged lady residing in Bush’s Addition,
fell down a flight of stairs on Sunday
morning and broke the small bone in
her right fore arm just above the
wrist joint. A year or so ago she fell
and broke her leg and Sunday’s fall,
while not causing a re-fracture, injur-
ed that member quite painfully.
——The man never was borr. who
did not at one time or other enjoy the
beauties of nature and the average
man, woman and child cf today appre-
ciates the motion pictures. They com-
bine the beauties of nature with the
highest development of art and are
always a study for mankind. The
Scenic is the place in Bellefonte where
the very newest and best motion pic-
tures can be seen each evening. No
holdovers or no stale pictures, every-
thing up-to-date.
Quite a number of Bellefonte
people attended the Methodist day
gathering at Lakemont park, Altoona,
last Thursdzy. In addition to those
going on the trair two of the Emerick
motor busses went up loaded and M.
R. Johnson took a load up in his car.
Between fifty and seventy-five minis-
ters wre present from the Central
Pennsylvania conference while the
chief speaker was Bishop Luther B.
Wilson, of New York, who appeared in
place of Bishop McDowell, who was
prevenied from attending on account
of illness.
——Commissioner of Labor and In-
dustry John Price Jackson and Mrs.
Jackson, of Harrisburg, have issued
invitations for the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Mary Kathryn Jack-
ison, to Frank Winthrop Reynolds, of
New York, the ceremony to take place
at the Jackson home on Saturday,
August 26th. The officiating minister
j will be Rev. William N. Hubbell, of
New York, a cousin of the bride. Only
the immediate relatives will attend
the ceremony but many invitations
have been issued for the reception
afterwards.
{ ——Bellefonte has always felt
i proud of the excellent service given by
the hotels of the town. In fact it is
{only speaking the truth when we say
that we do not know of a town in
which all the hostleries are up to the
class held by those that Bellefonte |
boasts. Just now, when auto touring .
is so popular, travelers from all sec- |
tions with whom we have come in |
contact are loud in their praise at the |
splendid manner in which they are |
conducted and the excellence of the
food served. All of this redounds to!
the good name of our town, because |
strangers who are pleased do not fail !
to carry away pleasant memories of |
the place and to recount them to their |
friends.
——When Rabbi J. Leonard Levy,
of Pittsburgh, was in Bellefonte for
his lecture at the Chautauqua two
weeks ago, he took a walk around the
town on a sort of trip of inspection.
Arriving at the Garman building on
the corner of High and Spring streets
his attention was attracted to the cab-
inet display of photographs of Miss
Mary McGarvey’s studio. So im-
pressed was he with the artistic na-
ture of the work displayed that he as-
cended the stairs, briefly interviewed
that young lady and arranged for an
immediate sitting, having his picture
taken in different poses. Rabbi Levy
has undoubtedly been a much photo-
graphed man, and his prompt decision
to be photographed by Miss McGar-
vey is quite a compliment to her skill
and genius as a photographer.
——Twenty-eight women repre-
senting the Centre county Suffrage
association, drove to Altoona Wed-
nesday, in two of the big yellow buss-
es to attend the all-day inter-county
conference rally held at Lakemont
park. The meeting, which was in
charge of Mrs. C. E. Kiernan, fourth
vice president of the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage association, of Som-
erset, was called to discuss general
organization plans and to inaugurate
field work connected with the better
health campaign, which will be taken
up this fall under the direction of
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Health
Commissioner. In the absence of Dr.
Dixon, Charles W. Webbert, general
state health inspector, made the
address of the day, talking upon the
infantile paralysis epidemic and the
new model kealth regulation, which
these women will endeavor to have
adopted throughout the State. The
delegates and their chairmen from
twelve counties were hospitably en-
tertained by the Altoona Suffrage as-
sociation, whose guests they were for
lunch.
