of the regiment. Somo of tho number
didn't know each other whon thoy flret
joincd tho show, but they nro all chums
uow and cnu cocu oiner "uuu" witn nn
the freodom of camp lifo. Not yet has
tho old instlnct of tho organization
quite gono out of thcm. Porbaps it ia
tho constant re-enactmont of war eceucs
and tho smell of powdcr that kcops lt
alive. A Stm roporter who etood bo
hiud the curtain beforo tho cuo for tho
rough riders' entrance, ono nfternoon
Inat week, bcard somo of thcm talktug
about the mimic cnargo.
"Thore's Bomething in tho flring,"
said a henvy built aix-footer, "that jog
gles a man'a brains. I haven't got
over gotting kind of stirrcd up after
tho guns nct fairly popping, and wish
ing I had ball cartridgo in."
"It don't catch me that way," drawl
ed auother. "Along with tho etnell o'
the powder I catch tho stink of the Cu
bau junglo aud fccl tho long grasa
clutchin' at my lega. Then I get
thiukin' what I thought down there, nn'
I don't likc it."
' What's that, Buddy?" aaked ono of
hia companiouB. 'Didn't know you
ovcr thought of anything down thero
excopt grub,"
"Well, 1 did, then," roturncd tho
other. "I uaod to have a chill every
titne I thought of getliug in that long
grttsa aud having tho land craba como
for me."
To "got it" is the rough riders' cu-
phemism for pcrforation by a Mau&cr
bullot.
"If they did this thiog righ up to
tho mark," suggestcd a fair-haired
vouug fellow, ' thcy'd briug up somu
land craba and acatter 'em in the arena
juet to go nloug with us. I swear,
thero wbb a whole outflt of 'om trailed
my troop all tho time we waain Cuba."
'Throw iu a few scorpious for good
mcaaure," suggeated tho little bow
legged fellow whose heols cliug ao
tight uuder a hor8B that uothitig can
shake him off. "I've got the mark of
ono on me now."
"What catchea mo wheu wo begin
Bhooting," said a rough rider who was
uothitig moro than a boy, "ia that 1
alwaya bear my Lieutcuaut's voice 1 ke
I heard it down there."
"Did he holler when ho got it?"
asked somebody rathor contemntu
ouslv. "No, air," was the quick reBpouee.
"He juet gave one kind of a gaap and
rolled over, and when 1 stopped to help
him ho awore ul me and told me to go
ahead aud got a Spaniard to make it
ovcn."
"What a cinch the wholo ahow
would have been," said a wiry littlo
fellow with a awarthy akin, "if we'd
had nice clear grouud to travel over
liko wo havo here. Dum'd if I don't
sweat liko a horao every time wo come
on, just romemberiu' how I Bweated in
that blaated tnnglin' graaa."
"Hdrc'a Decker with the mail," ou
nounced tho boyish-looking veteran,
and immediatoly there waa a rush for
ward for lettera, and a chorus of eagor
volce8 calling outtheir own naraea in
tho hope of hearing tho rcply, 'Here'a
ono for you."
"Thia ia liko camp, too," remarked
one of tho men, "only thore we didn't
get a daily mail."
"We got n mail iust nbout as often
as wo fought, didn't wo?" aaid anoth
er jocularly. "And that's what wo do
hero."
Thero tan't much time, however,
uftcr tho mail comea, beforo tho scono
of tho Battlo of San Juan. Out go the
rough rldera along with a number of
other employecs iu tho samo unilorm,
and also a aquad of tho colored cavalry
men, all Biuglug "A Uot Time in tho

bor of tho progtamme, partlcularly
with tho childicn, who rnakc up tho
greater parl, aud far the tuoat enthusi

akylarking, and then the camp goea to
rcst, but after all the lights ure low ono
voico down in tho arena rlaes in tho
melody: "My couutry, 'tia of thee,"
Then, Buddenly, tho wholo camp
brenka into harmonv in tho Becond
ltno of tho national hymn and Binga lt
through. 0' course, ono knowa tlmt
nothlng of tho Bort hrtppcnud at San
Juan; that the mon woro too worn out
When it camo timo to roat to think oi

Men with Btrctchors como and carry

As Boon aa tho acl ia ovcr tho rough
