HOW OUR BOYS MSS Hi HI Ilf
(H I H Ilf MU BORDER
Littfe Stories From the Front How One Married Man, Who
That Give Keen Insight Into Insisted on Teaching Son
Daily Lives of National to Fight. Drooped Dead
Guardsmen. En Route to Texas.
OUR boys are at the front, and
everybody is proud of them.
Everybody likes to know what
they are doing, how they are
faring In Texas, and the little things
that arise In their daily life always
prove interesting. So these little sto
ries have been selected from the great
amount of news that Is sent from the
border:
Beturns With Father’s Body.
The body of Color Sergeant Samuel
Garrett of the Fourteenth Infantry, N.
Y. N. G., who went from Brooklyn to
face the perils of war, but found death
waiting for him this side of the Rio
Grande, has been returned. lie drop
ped dead the other evening.
The lone escort of the body Is George
Garrett, bugler of Company C and a
son of the dead man. The father went
with the colors for the expressed pur
pose of "teaching that kid how to get
along straight in the army.”
When the president called for the na
tional guard Colonel Foote, command

er of the Fourteenth, told the married
men of his regiment that ‘‘the young
men were the ones to go." Samuel
Garrett at once sought his chief.
"I’m one of the married men who
perhaps should remain at home to take
care of my wife,” he told the colonel.
“But I have curried the flag of this
regiment for nearly a decade, and 1
just can’t see it go to the front in any
other hands. I’ve served the United
States as a sailor too. I’m ready ta
serve her again."
"But there are plenty of younger men
who are eager for service." it was sug
gested. “Don't you think it’s their turn
now ?”
“No, sir, I don’t." returned Garrett.
The following day he returned to the
armory with a radiant smile on his
face.
"I’ve got to go." he told his officers.
“You see, my son is Just nineteen, and
it was myself who directed him to en
list in this regiment. Why, he’s Just a
kid. So I’ll have to go along with the
youngster to protect him and to show
him how to be a soldier."
This logic was not contested. So
when the Fourteenth entrained Ser
geant Garrett marched with youthful
steps at its head, proudly bearing the
stars and stripes. A quiet little woman
who wore a gray shawl was at the
armory with a wife’s kiss for the ser
geant and a mother’s kiss for the
bugler.
Picked Up New Soldier.
One of the New York specials car
ried a new passenger—a negro with
the legs and the uniform of a cavalry
man—to camp.
Be boarded the train in the yards at
Dallas surreptitiously and sat on the
steps of Company D car until the con
ductor came along. The conductor
knew there had been no black soldiers
on the train and told the cavalryman
(among other things) that he would be
dropped off at the first stop.
Colonel Fisk heard of the "stow
away” and went to investigate.
"Where did you come from? Who
are you ?" he demanded.
The darky grinned conclliatingly.
“J. L. Cox, sah," be said, saluting
“Private in K troop. Tenth cavalry,
sah.”
“K troop of the Tenth?" echoed
Colonel Fisk.
was—but Private J. L. Cox hadn't
been in that affair at CarrtzaL
“Jes before that I got a furlough to
go see my ma in Fort Worth,” be ex
plained. “Now I’m hurrying to Colum
; bus as fast as I can without any money
to go back to Carrlzal and help clean
’em up. I knowed Captain Moray and
/
Captain Boyd for sho’ null flghtln
men.”
Colonel Fisk had an extra ticket,
and Private Cox traveled as his guest
on D company’s car.
Want Everlasting Ice.
General Parker, at Brownsville, has
received Information that a wealthy
resident of New York wants to present
each soldier In the New York division
with something that will be of use to
him in the field. The general has been
asked to designate what the boys ought
to have, and he Is stumped.
The government furnishes its soldiers
with every necessity and all that a
soldier can carry of same. The most
acceptable present from the philan
thropic New Yorker would be an indi
vidual cake of everlasting ice, which
could be carried in a soldier's trousers
pocket or hat.
Mast Wear Hats.
Brigadier General Dyer, who was at
one time colonel of the Twelfth New
York, has found It necessary to Issue
a peremptory order that the soldiers
must wear their hats in the sun. The
Texas sunshine is strong enough to
scramble the brains of one not in the
habit of exposing his dome to the blue
of heaven. At 4 o'clock In the after
noon General Dyer Issued orders that
all the men of the Twelfth not engaged
in necessary work should crawl Into
the shelter of their tents. At that hour
the heat was blistering, and the hos
pital corps was getting a lot of prac
tical field duty.
Mixup With a Mule.
The well known but Inexplicable dls
position of the army mule was respon
sible for an exasperating and at the
time amusing series of episodes In the
camps of the Seventh, Seventy-first and
the Twelfth of New York. Especially
recalcitrant are the mules of the Sev
■ entli. By orders of Colonel Fisk a cor
| ral was being erected around the faith
; ful, noisy but essential aids to the sol
dier when the preliminary dust storm
that heralds a rain in that part of Tex
I as came blustering out of the east. The
mules decided the corral was no place
for them, and several jumped the bar
rier and went in the general direction
of Mexico.
It was time for quick action. One of
i the first men to grab a mule and at
tempt to subdue it was Private Thorn
ton Brown of Company K. a cousin of
J. Picrpont Morgan. A moving picture
concern would have given a million
dollars fora film of t lie wrestling match
between Private Brown and the mule.
The mule won, but Private Brown
came out of the encounter with glory
and inud and also equipped with much
knowledge of mule strategy.
War Camp Lingo.
Here's t he way the soldiers say it:
Mule skinner—u teamster.
Sinkers—dumplings.
Bean shooter—a commissary officer
Black strap—black coffee,
i Bowlegs—a cavalryman.
Butcher—the military barber.
Cit—a citizen.
Cits—civilian clothes.
Dough puncher—a baker.
Punk—army bread.
Salt horse—pickled pork.
Old skipper—company captain.
Grayback's retreat—the guardhouse.
With St. Louis Men.
During the journey of the St. Louis
troops one day was through dry terri
tory. “Nobody Knows How Dry I Am"
was sung by the men. The officers had
a different version. The chorus waa as
follows:
Oh, taka me to that happy land
Where the river of Beer Is found.
And aloe gin Rlckeys fill the air.
And highballs roll on the ground.
What? Highballs roll on the ground?
Sure! Highballs roll on the ground.
Though nearly all the members of
the colonel’s staff are gifted with mel
lifluous voices, the staff quartet is the
pride of the regiment. The members
are Colonel Donnelly. Captain Nulsen.
Major Gruner and Major Burgher.
Led by S. E. Guthrie, the hospital
corps woke up some of the sleepy
towns in Arkansas with this blood
thirsty yell:
Well man, sick man, dead man, stiff;
Cut 'em up. slice ’em up, what's the dlff.
Humorous, tumorous, blood and gore;
First Missouri Infantry Hospital corps.
How Maloney Made Weight.
The happiest man In the Illinois see
tlon Is Jimmie Maloney of Troop K.
Jimmie, be It said, is a strategist. He
is a light lad with a pleasant, likable
face. Jimmie feared he wouldn't make
the weight required by army rules—
120 pounds. Jimmie did weigh more
than this before he went to Springfield,
but bard drill knocked off five pounds.
The night before federal examination
Jimmie weighed himself—118 pounds.
A chill ran along his back. Jimmie
sure was going to Mexico—but, an Idea.
Jimmie went to the pump and drank
long and deep. He did this many times.
When be stood on the scales of fata
the next day he was six pounds over
weight, and when it was all over Jim
mie’s sober face relaxed and he
chuckled.
