The Mllitln Enjoying the Annual
Encampment
Seven nnd a half hours after the
Thirteenth regiment left Scranton
the train bearing the command slow
ly pulled Into Alt. Gretna and with
in a very few minutes the line was
formed and the march to camp was
commenced.
Swinging along 120 steps to the
minute, the column moved through
the picnic grove and across the face
of the hill on which brigade hend
(juarters are situated and then
'straight as a die towards reservoir
hill, where the tents of the Ninth
and Thirteenth are pitched. The
camp site is an ideal one and is
identically the same as two years
ago. Broad spreading chestnut
trees are scattered through the camp
and the shade furnished by them
will no doubt be gratefully sought!
before the week ends.
Company A, Engineers, is located
near brigade headquarters, having
the really choice location of the
ground, their camp being handy to
the picnic and camp meeting grove,
while the site occupied by the Thir
teenth Is fully a half-mile from these
centers of Interest.
Immediately upon arrival, the
work of llxing up quarters was taken
in hand and by the time morning
mess was ready at C o'clock, every
street in the camp was thoroughly
policed and tents rolled up ready for
Immediate inspection of quarters if
need lie. At 1) o'clock the regiment
In company with the other four of
the brigade was paraded in front of
brigade headquarters, where the
formal ceremony of opening camp
was gone through. While the regi
ments formed In lino of masses to
three sides of the Ilag-pole, the col
ors were slowly hoisted to the top
of the polo and ns they broke forth
in the morning breeze the buglers
sounded "to the colors" and the ar
tillery fired a salute. This constitut
ed the ceremony, nnd olllcial life of
the tour of duty of 1901) dates from
the moment that the Stars and
Stripes were first kissed by the
niornng's sun.
At 11:30 o'clock enme the first
actual duty of camp, when regiment
al guard was mounted. In view
of the fact that camp preparation
had taken up the greater part of the
mornng and that the tour was to
be a limited one, the ceremony was
Informal, in fact, it was a fatigue
guard mounting, the adjutant simply
verifying the details and dismissing
the guard. Lieutenant Donney of
Company P is officer of the day, and
Lieutenant Barrett of Company K
officer of the guard.
Evening parade at 5:30 o'clock
was the only event of the day, the
men being allowed to spend the
time as they saw lit. There was no
band concert owing to the fact that
the band did not accompany the
command to camp, having an engage
ment at home.

Color Sergeant .lames .McGouldrick
is the veteran enlisted man of the
outfit.
First Sergeant Leo Bnrtz and
Lieut. Robert Donney are the only
two men in Company F who joined
the company on the original mus
ter eleven years ago.
Corporal Stub of Company C is
acting quartermaster-sergeant for
the tour of duty.
Thompson Rowley, native of
Scranton. but now resident of
Wilkes-Darre, is at the head of the
Ninth regiment band, which Is
regarded as one of the finest musical
aggregations in camp.
The Ninth regiment furnished the
first brigade guard of the camp
Lieut. Harry Smith and a platoon of
Company D. being detailed for the
duty.
It looked for a time as if it would
be necessary to dispense with the
Hag-raising in connection with the
opening camp ceremony, inasmuch
as the rope by which the Hag was
drawn to the peak of the sixty-foot
staff in front of headquarters parted
on being tested. The slender staff
has stood for a number of years and
It was deemed inadvisable to order
anyone to carry the new rope to its
top. J. P. Phillips, of Company A
Engineers, however, volunteered for
the hazardous task, which he ac-
complshied In safety.

What became of Napoleon's son
is a question often asked, ns little
mention is made in history of the
young prince, the desire of his fath
er's life, who was born March 20,
1811, amid great rejoicing In Paris
and hailed as the "King of Rome."
in January, 1S14, Napoleon em
braced his wife and child for the
last time, and this really ended the
reign of the little king "who never
saw his kingdom." He was reared
n the Austrian court under the
name of the Duke of Rclchstadt and
grow to be a handsome young fellow
and quite a brilliant scholar. He
had one short year of military life
and then contracted pulmonary dis
ease, from which he died in his
twenty-second year. He worshiped
the memory of his father and al
ways spent the anniversary of his
death, July 22, in his own rooms.
He is buried in the Carthusian nioiv

When is the Time to Advertise'
Some merchants have become pos
sessed of the idea that the summer
months are a poor time to advertise,
on account ot' so many people being
out of town. Nothing is farther
from the truth. While a large sec
tion of our people take vacations,
the number of people who go away
for more than two or three weeks is
comparatively small. The great
majority of mechanics and business
men do not get over two weeks' va
cation, and really the number of
stay at homes is still greater, and
the merchant who tells about his
bnrgains will find plenty of people
listening. .Most people have to
make many purchases in the midst
of summer to complete their equip
ment for even two weeks' vacation.
The merchant who keeps his regu
lar space full will get this business.
He will 11 nil many strangers here
who read the home paper and will
trade with the concern that gives
the appearance of hustle by liberal
advertising.
He Craved Variety.
An Oregon editor once got a big ad
vertisement from a place which sold
nothing but oysters. The place had
just opened, nnd, while the proprietor
was willing to advertise, he didn't have
the cash to spend, so the newspaper
man took n card which entitled him
to $10 worth of oysters. "A few days
later a tramp printer strolled into tho
Gazette office and -wanted a job," re
lates tho editor. "I had nothing to
offer him, but told tho man he might
sleep back In the composing room, and
ns ho had no money to buy food I
gave him tho meal ticket on the oys
ter parlor. I didn't hear from him
again for more than a week. One day
ho came Into tho office looking a bit
drawn nnd worn. 'I don't want to
seem dissatisfied with what you've
done for me, Mr. Carter,' said he, 'and
I'm willing to admit that the luscious
bivalve Is a wonderfully fine bit of
food, but for heaven's sake can't you
get an ad. from a ham and egg em

WASHINGTON LETTER
Special Correspondence.
Tlio oldest omployee of tho depart
ment of agriculture is Richard II.
Cooke, a watchman. lie lias been In
the department over since it wns a
bureau with six clerks under tho sec
retary of tho Interior and has seen lr
grow In tho forty-five years of his
service from a bureau with a commis
sioner and desk room In tho old patent
office building to n department with
14,000 employees, Including the forest
service, a secretary in tho cabinet and
the beginning of one of the lines!
buildings that ever housed a federal
department.
Veteran of the Civil War.
Captain Cooke, for he reached com
mission rnnk In tho civil war, wa3
born In Maryland Just outside the Dis
trict. Ho was little more than a boy
when the war broke out. but answered
tho first call of tho president for vol
unteers and served with the ninety
day men at the beginning of the strug
gle. He was In tho First Maryland
cavalry and participated In twenty-one
battles and skirmishes. V- lien the first
enlistment wns out lie went in again
and served for tho full three years
and at the end of that time left the
service wounded, but not dlsnblcd.
Growth of a Great Department.
He came to Washington at that time
and entered the service of the govern
ment in tho then bureau of agriculture.
He lias letters now from Andrew Jack
son and President Lincoln commend
ing Ii lm for the place. It was a little
bureau at tho time, nnd little was
thought of It. Captain Cooke's ap
pointment was under tho first commis
sioner of agriculture, Isaac Newton,
who was appointed July 1, 1802. Cooke
went Into the service in 1801, serving
continuously under J. W. Stokes,
Ilornco Capron, Frederick Watts, Wil
liam G. Le Due, George Lorlng and
Normnn Column. On the second ap
pointment of Column to office In 1889
tho bureau was mado n department.
Then came Uncle Jerry Rusk, J. Ster
ling Morton nnd finally the present
secretary, James Wilson. Tho de
partment had been growing ever since
it was created a department, but un
der Wilson, who proved a splendid ex
executive, the department went for
ward by strides. Its employees In
creased by the hundred and when the
forest service wns created by the
thousand.
Captain Cooke watched the growth
and was raised from his position as i
a watchman In an obscure bureau to '
bo a member of the metropolitan po
lice force and the watchman nt the
front door of one of the most Impor
tant departments of tho government.
The Jefferson Bible.
A few years ago congress authorized
the publication of a facsimile of Thom
as Jefferson's Bible. Jcll'ersou had
this Bible in the form of a scrap book
In which tho life of the Saviour was set
out from tho Scriptures In chronolog
ical order with especial emphasis as
to the philosophy of life lie enunciated
in his sayings. Tills material was sot
down In parallel columns in the Greek,
Latin and English texts. After the
Drder of congress was carried out the
publishers were given leave to print
iddltional copies, which were put on
Hie market at $2.50 a volume. Recent
ly there has been an overproduction,
and the price is now quoted at $1.23.
A few days ago a constituent of Rep
resentative Walter Brownlow of Ten
nessee heard about the decrease in the
price and rushed in to tell the con
gressman, who had more requests for
tho Bible than he could fill.
"It's going for !?1.25," said the caller.
"Well, what of it?" replied Brownlow.
"I can buy a whole Bible for 25 cents."
A Texan Defines a Vice.
Washington hasn't seen much recent
ly of that distinguished son of the
south, tho lion. Colonel Cecil Lyon,
Republican national committeeman of
Texas. Ho hasn't been hero since his
friend Theodore Roosevelt went to
Africa. Colouel Lyon is always sure
of an audience when he arrives In
town, for his brand of stories Is the
best on tho national capltol market
since Bill Sterrett retired from the
newspaper field and became a Lone
Star farmer.
Colonel Lyon was talking about a
man down In Texas who, he declared,
didn't havo a single, solitary vice.
"What would you call a vice in a
man?" somebody inquired.
This stumped tho Texan. Ho pon
dered for n long time, trying to think,
but it was no use. Then his face
brightened.
"I don't know what you would call
a vice," ho said, "unless It was chew
ing gum."
No Electric Fans in Capitol.
I'ho sawmill noise that grates on tho
etrs of statesmen when tho electric
fans in the houses of congress arc in
action has been stilled nnd will be for
all time if tho edict of Elliott Woods,
superintendent of the capltol, is not
revoked. Senators aud representatives
may swelter and perspire, but the ora
tor must he heard, and ho will havo
bis way in eliminating what has been
termed a disturbing fnctor to the
speakers on tho tloor.
During the consideration of the Ding-
ley tariff bill electric fans sent their
cooling breezes throughout tho cham
bers. Trouble developed, however, for

By sips of the last lemonade,

Through all of tho clad afternoon,

And cling to his gaudy balloon.
The last acrobat's been applauded
And Bhullled his way from the mat,
Tho last bareback rider's been lauded,
The clown, with his sugar loaf hat,
Has gono with his powder and spangles,
Tho diver has niado his last leap,
And hero In my arms are brown tangles
Of curls and a boy fast asleep.
One sticky hand rests on my shoulder,
Ono holds last the gaudy balloon,
That shrinks and before It's much older
Will fade like tlio glad afternoon.
His dreams, It may be.-, of the maddest
Of somersets recklessly hurled
Tho timlest, Fleeplest, gladdest
And stickiest lad In tho world.
And, oh. but tho vpanslos wore splendid!
And. on. nut tno music was grand:
Tho sldo splitting clown laughter blended
With eouI stirring airs by the band
Till naught of the glnd marvel lingers
Save what in Ills meatus ho may Keep
Ab he clasps his balloon with close lingers
And rests in my arms, fast asleep.
And so from theso joys without number
lire aught ot tno gutter was gono
lie went to Ills dream laden slumber,
where on plays the music and on
For him all tho revel Is maddest,
For him not a tiag has been furled
Tho tlrcdest, sleepiest, gladdest

" Roman Nomenclature..
The noble Romans were peculiar
in their system f nomenclature. They
had the praenomcn, the nomen and
the cognomen. The first of theso
distinguished the individual and was
equivalent to our Christian or baptis
mal name. It was usually Indicated
by a single letter, as A. for Aulus. or
by two letterj, as Ap. for Applus, or
three, as Ser. for Servius. The nomen
was distinctive of the gens or clan,
and has no corresponding appella
tive among us. The cognomen was
placed last, and designated the fnml
liao, precisely answering to our t-ur-name.
Sometimes a fourth name -vas
added, the agnomen, In consequence
of a renowned action, some conspicu
ous event of life or feature of charac
ter. Sclplo, In addition to his regular
names, was styled Afrlcanus after his
conquest of Carthago. The name
Germanicus was assumed by those'
who distinguished themselves in the
wars with tho Germans.
Chief Protucer of Insanity.
Dr. rederlcl Peterson, of New
York City, in an address beforo the
New York Conference of Charities
and Correction, declared "Alcohol Is
the chief poison factor in the produc
tion of insanity. Twenty per cent, of
all the insane in the United States
owe their condition to alcoholic pois
on." Dr. McDonald calculates that
one insane person is an approximate
loss to tho state of MOO per year,
hence the actual loss to the Unltod
States is $12,000,000 per year.
An Awful Revelation.
In Chicago, in ono dny, 1,408 per
sons were Imprisoned for drunkenness
Of theso there wero forty-one cases of
delirium tremens. It is reported that
a physician connected with the prison
secured somo of tho liquor. Ho pour

three minutes the meat was absolute
ly black. None but devIU can laugh
at such a revelation.
