A recent lot discloses some happy

Scotch Shawls converted into these
sightly and easy fitting garments.
Some are plain and others "shawl

now, that they invite a selection.
The

The importers say it's wonderful
the amount of handkerchiefs we
have sold during the past ten days.
This is an ALL LINEN Handker
chiefs Store not a cotton one to be

QIMHT l'AY DAY.
Pay day lias come and roup, ami
thottKh It had been Ions awaited Willi
feverlfh iinxlctv, It has left little, If
any trace of excitement behind. This
iu day Is a more than usually Import
ant and happy occasion for the city of
AtiKUPta. li means several thousands
of ilollais for the business, men, anil
they are prcpurlnr to be ready for the
liberal Inllux of money from camp. Al
ready the boys have begun to make in
vestments In Christmas presvnts and In
souvenirs which ndorn every nhop win
dow in Augusta.
The electric lights, which were prom
ised some time ago. ami which would
with a certainty have been In working
oiiler long fiiro. were It not for the
change of the camp site, are to be util-
Ixed soon within the Thirteenth's lines.
The tioles were put in position Wed
nesday, and there will be no delay In
stringing the wires. The power Is fur
nished from Aususta, and each com
pany kitchen, for the small sum of
seventy-live cents, may have the privi
lege of an arc light, file kitchen are
now In full operation, and they are
already appreciated.
I'OItTO IllCO LKTTKII.
Private Obetl A. Michaels, of C, has
received n long and Interesting letter
from Private I-Mward M. Carey, Com
pany K. Kleventh t'nited States Volun
teer Infantry, now stationed at San
Juan. Porto Illeo. The letter, which
was mailed on Nov. 30, reached lieie
yesterdaj.. Private Carey Is a resident
of the West Side, and unlisted at
Sci anion on the l!lbt day of last June.
Viivnte Carey, having disembarked at
lUiaiilco Hay, took part In the :'klr
mlslies which occurred in the neigh
borhood. The battle of .Mayaguez, Aug.
18, was the chief engagement In which
the Americans had three killed and
siventeen wounded, and the Spaniards
lost seventy by death, and 14S taken
prisoners. It was at this battle that
Private Carey observed with surprise
and some amusement that the Spanish
soldiers, instead of firing their Mausci'3
from the shoulder, tired from the hip.
Sergeant Harold I.. Gillespie and Pri
vates Kelly, Loomls and Mosvr, who
have been formally detailed as mem
bers of what is now called the "I'nlted
States Army Hospital corps," and at
tached to the Thirteenth's hospital for
duty, are very much displeased at the
treatment which they have been re
viving at the hands of the higher hos
pital authorities. They are not paid
with the regiment, and. as Major Kel
ler cannot do anything for them in the
case, they have not received a cent of
money for the past three months, an
oversight at which they are indignant
not without some show of reason. They
expected that they would be thought
of this time, but it seems they are still
forgotten after three months of faith
ful, Intelligent service. It Isi a peculiar
oversight, the persistency of which
causes unnecessary Inconvenience.
IX DIVISION' HOSPITAL
There aie now three members of the
Thirteenth in the division hospital suf.
fering from the mumps Private fins
tave P.ienlke. of A: William Little, of
. and William Uvltt, of 15. They all
have been suffering more or less, but
their cases are In no way dangerous.
Major Keller visits them dally, and ex
pects that they will soon be all right
The boys of the regiment were mueh
pleased to read In The Tribune that
First Lieutenant David J. Davis, of
Company P. lias declared his candi
dacy for the olllce of city controller.
Lieutenant Davis Is one of the few at
torneys in the regiment, and ranks
high In popularity and In efficiency
among the otllcers of the regiment. His
candidacy is favorably spoken of, even
already, by the members of the Thir
teenth. Chaplain Stahl was a welcome visitor
to the tent of every enlisted man last
evening. He made the round, looking
for those who were sick. The hoys, as
usual, were glad to see him, and he was
pleased to Had them well.
Lieutenant W. . Inglls has reported
for duty at brigade headquarters' once
more.
The otllcers have received new stoves
for their tents. The canvas, where the
Htoveplpo passes through, Is protected
by a ring of asbestos.
The return of Quartermaster Cox to
the regiment gives no little pleasure to
the boys, and this Is increased by his
narrow escape from death. Lieutenant
Cox Is a hard worker, and always has
the best Interest of the boys at heart,
llattallon Adjutant Walter K. Oua
Her. who acted as quartermaster dur
ing the absence of Lieutenant Cox, has
now I eturncd to his post. He (lis
charged the onerous duties of quarter
master with credit.
to health, he was given a thirty-day
furlough to visit Washington, D, C.
Privates William O. Pender, of V,
nd William It, Hough, ot A, have been
detailed, by a recent order, ns mem
bers of the regimental hospital corps.
One of the most Interesting scones In
and around camp Is the spectacle of
some of the ollleers wielding the axe.
Major Follows has become on expert
at wood-chopping.
Captain Thomns (Hitman, of D, lias
given his stove to Klrst Sergeant Da
vis, preferring to use tho old-style oil
stove. Itlchanl J. Pottrke.
