There are many ways of celebrating the evenin , without deine anything unseemly. While at work on Dr. George P.

The “Watchman” Correspondent Invaded Mex- i ico, but Did it Peace- fully. ‘ i By Corp. Harry J. Cohen. Camp Thomas J. Stewart, | El Paso, Tex., Oct. 21. i Have just gotten back to my tent | after an absence since early Werines- | day morning, and havent as yet | washed or had a change of clothes, | but as this is Saturday and late in the ‘day must rush this through or my dear readers will be anxious as on former occasions. Then there will be another deluge of mail inquiring if * anything did really happen me, and I don’t relish the job of answering so many personal and solicitous in- quiries regarding my welfare, and why I had missed a letter recently. It is indeed gratifying to know that there are so many who watch for and read my letters, it makes me feel that i I am sending them in a good cause, ‘It seems that most of the fellows ‘don’t get much time to write and in- form the folks at home as to what is ‘really doing down here, so the top sergeant detailed me to perform the i duty, and I do hope if he wants me to | continue he will get seme able-bodied man to groom “Old Jerry” in my stead. Can’t say that Iam opposed to grooming, but the Cclonel sure lid give us the “once-over” while going through the process. He evidently didn’t like our method and now we are back to where we started. This is the way it goes: “Stand to horse, com- mence grooming, march,” and the battle then rages in all its fury for fully half an hour until the order of cease firing is given. It used to take exactly eleven minutes to water, groom and feed, and now we consider ourselves lucky if we can leave the picket line in less than an hour and a half, but as the old song goes, “We're in the Army Now,” and no one gives it a second thought. Getting back to news, it was Wed- nesday morning at exactly 8.10 o’clock, when our troop, with the bal- ance of the third squadron, under command of Major Fetzer, the man who has won a warm spot in the heart of every trooper in the squadron, proceeded to whdt is called the Fort | Bliss rifle range, located about twen- “ ty-five miles northwest of camp on the government ranch in the eastern end of Dona Ana county, New M =xi- { co, to try our skill with the rifle and pistol. As this was the first practice i with real bullets, the kind that some- | times hurt, we could hardly blame them for taking us that distance in j order to insure some ' safety. When ! we were about half way on our jour- ‘ney we met the second squadron on | its return from the range and we at i once engaged them in a sham battle. | Lucky for them that our ammunition at that time was composed of “blanks,” otherwise there wouldn’t | have been any second squadron left to | report the details of the terrible I'slaughter. We passed the First Penn- sylvania artillery at practice on the Lewis ranch and it surely is wonder- ful to see the white flash of the gun, ‘hear the boom and then watch the 1 | i | | Piling of the shrapnel as it hits the ! 1 mark. We arrived at our destination at 3.80 p. m., set up our camp and made the necessary preparations to stay awhile.. The range is ideally located, with all modern improvements for man and beast, and just about a fif- | teen minute walk ‘o the nearest | ranch-house, where the smallest ::nd | punkiest blackberry pie you ever ate can be bought for only forty cents | the pie. . ! Thursday and Friday were spent at i practice with both the rifle and pistol, and many a surprise—both ways— was sprung by those whom we thought could shoot and by those whom we thought couldn’t; but ever, man without a doubt profited by the experience and improved his marks- manship by the tests, so much so that our mighty hunters, Earl Baird, Will Musser and Harry Schreffler, shoul- dered their shot guns and after a brief hunt brought back twenty-two jack rabbits, the ears on which were about the size of those on our army mules. I was to have gone along but some cne made love to my shells. Needless to mention that Cook White- man served us rabbit potpie for Fri- day dinner. We left the range this morning at 7.30 with Troop L in the lead as a pa- trol, and after trotting as we thought all the way arrived here shortly be- fore one o’clock, making a new vec- ord for tb : 25 miles—ahout four and a half hours, not counting the time out for lunch and watering. We are all dirty but haven’t heard a man say he was tired. Myself in company with Hanry Mil- ler, of Clearfield, did the trick we came down here for. We each hired a suit of civilian clothes and crossed the border into Juarez, Mexico. We spent just about three hours there, visiting the race track, bull arena, cock-pits and the famous Jaurez mon- ument, church ard jail, as well as the market place. What impressed us the most was the superiority of our American city of El Paso over that of the Mexican. city on the other side of the Rio Grande, surely a difference of at least three centuries. We had lit- tle trouble in making the trip and are congratulating ourselves as having represented Troop L in the enemy's country. The only real excitement in the troop street was the burning of tent No. 28, due to spontaneous combus- tion; in other words, a lighted cigar- ette, but as no other harm was done it was soon replaced with a new one.

In fact every cider press in the county has been squeezing out the juice by the hundreds of gallons, but it is doubtful if any of them have equalled the record of the cider press at Salona, which in one day last week turned out six thousand gallons of cider, which at forty-five gallons to the barrel would make a little over 123 barrels.
