CHAPTER X
Night, gloomy and rainy, was com-
ing on and we finally got started for
camp. The men all pushed and the
horses pulled a little. We reached |
camp after night with three or four |
sticks in the wagon ; though we had |
done our best,
The colonel was evidently expecting |
us. He knew our sentiments on the |
guard house subject, and did not seem |
to expect great results from this expe- |
dition. He was on hand with a lan-
tern ; he looked into the empty wagon |
and said, hoom-m-m. He suspected |
us for playing off on him. He ex-|
amined the welted, bleeding horses!
but said nothing. We were wet all
over, tired, mud-covered and cross.
Next morning at day-break
same detail, balky team and all, was |
again sent forth under peremtory or-|
ders to bring in guard house timber
and we went. Though the
was no better und the mud some deep- |
er, we returned in the afternoon with |

house logs. On|
tails went out, till the guard house, |
roofed with pine branches, no floor, |
bench or bunk to rest upon, cheerless |
aud fireless as before, again went into
active business,
This guard house business did not |
add one iota to the discipline and ef-
ficiency of the regiment, but it made

two rows of brass buttons ou his coat,
received the salute of present arms. |
When the guard was formed and the |

were required to stand rigid and mo- |

This performance was required and
repeated for every officer who passed ;
on busy days tue bys were kept on

commands of the sergeant were heard :
"full in! (ake arms ! shoulder arms!
present arius ! shoulder arms! stack

little variation to suit the rank; were
strictly carried out in all cases,

Tue colonel was a brave, patriotic
man and possessed any noble quali-
ties. He was n great disciplionrian,
proud of his regiment and loyal to bis
men. Yet, like other men, he had
faulte, and at Umes was hasty, His
greatest fault it seemed to us, was his
great juelination to pattern after the
officers of the regular army, whose im-
perious exactions and disciplinary
cruelty were notorious in the army
and often brought discontent and de-
sortion. He had a mania for placing
officers aud men under arrest at times
for the most trivial causes,

American Steel Wire Company, Cleve-
land, Ohio, seriously burned Joseph
Ruble, son of Mrs. Linnie Ruble, for-
merly of State College, but the young
man has now almost recovered. He
was superintendent of one of the large

lives at Bpring Mills, almost his entire
time since the middie of January was

their revenue derived from this

to being obliged to have to board and
