,Tip, Who Answers Rollcall in E
Company,1 Inoculated
With Serum
Tho only animal Inoculated against ty
phoid at Camp Brumbaugh Is Tip, the
black-and-tan mascot of Company E, of
tho "Fighting Third." The only Philadel
phia dog that will leavo for the South with
tho troops Is this selfsame Tip, who, from
a straggler, has been taken Into tho heart
of every member of his company.
Tho friendly little mascot, followed the
troops to the train In this city 'last Saturday
and was carried to Mount Gretna as a Joke.
In camp he soon enjoyed a large acquaint
ance. "When the orders came for tho south
ern movement no one was willing to leave
Tip behind, and his skin was doctored In
anticipation of tha flank attacks of Mexican
fleas 'and other foes ho may be called upon
to face. Today Tip Is fit as a fiddle and
await g tho command to entrain.
"When his sponsor, Artificer "William Ford,
realized tho stiffness of the army physical
"exam," Tip's fate. It was thought, would
be sealed unless the dog could stand the
test. Stand It ho did. The Inoculation was
performed with appropriate ceremonies, and
now the pup is as free of caro as of the
dread of dlseasor and he romps about as
Jf to show the wholo regiment as well as
bis own company what a smart dog Is ho.
Smartness Is said to be Tip's middle
jiamo. He knows many tricks already, his
favorite one being to answer with a bark
when his name is called at rollcall. Ho Is a
ereat favorite of Captain Hargeshelmer.
Last,, but not least, he appears always as
If just achelng for a fight. Little wonder
he la the pride of the regiment.

the rapid chain of events that culminated in
the postponement, but ultlmato performance
of tho wedding.

the wedding was tj take placo.
He missed that train by two minutes
after narrowly escaping Injury while hurry

offered tho services of tholr touring car to
carry tho chaplain to tho regiment, thrco
miles away.
An lmpassablo road halted the machine,

set out on foot tho remaining mile and
a half.
