salary for the support of the family.
Since the first of the year he has been
working at night as messenger for the
Western Union. He worked during the
entire vacation, and is continuing his
work since school opened.
Always neat and clean with a bright
face, and eyes that sparkle with intelli

little Joe lias made himself a great fa

he comes in contact at the telegraph

Joe is always polite, and has a bright
reply for who address him.
He Is an Apt Pupil.
Joe is regular in his attendance at

JOE TAMAYO,
Little Mexican American who Is striv
ing hard for an education.
" telegraph office ready to carry to all
parts of the city those messages which
come flashing along the wires from dis
tant parts of the land. When asked if
he wasn’t sometimes afraid to.go to all
parts of the city at night by himself,
he replied sometimes he did get scared.
Oftentimes he was sent a long distance
out on the car lines, and sometimes he
had to walk three or four blocks in the
<iark, and sometimes the cogs got after
his and then he was afraid, but he had
to find the place and deliver his mes
sage, for if he didn *t and another boy
was sent out and found it, then he
would have to forfeit 50 cents of the $5
he receives at the end of the week.
Just now Joe doesn’t know just what
he would like to do when he gets to be
a man, but he ’hinks he would like to
work in a drug store. Anyway he is go
ing to school and get an education so
that he can do the kind of work be
wants to when he grows up. He hasn’t
quite made up his mind yet whether he
will go through the high school or not,
and'inquired solicitously whether or not
that would be better, or if then he
I would get a diploma.
As yet little Joe shows no ill effects
from the strenuous life he is hading,
darting here and there on his bicycle
to carry his messages while his class
i mates_are still asleep. He is strong and
| well nourished and his mind is bright
and alert. Tn no way does he show the
effects of his loss of sleep, and double
exertion. Encouraged bv his parents, he
fully appreciates the benefits of the
education he is striving to get.

NEWS OF INTEREST
TO THE ARMY MEN
A most careful and thorough revision
of the infantry drill regulations has
been made by officers attached to the
war department’s general staff. The
last edition of these regulations was
that of 1904. since which time changes
have been found advisable to meet
criticisms made as a result of experi
ence and to allow for new methods and
equipment.
The work of revision was about com
pleted last March, at which time it be
came evident that alterations would be
necessary to allow for the new infantry
equipment adopted as a result of the
recommendations of the infantry equip
ment board. These changes have now
been embodied and probably a tenta
tive draft Of the new regulations will
be ready about Nov. 1. Then the new
regulations will probably be issued to
at least two infantry regiments of the
regular army, and to one of the militia
for experimental use for a period of
about six months. Suggestions and
criticisms from the officers of these
regiments will be invited, and at the
expiration of the period of experiment
al use the text will be again gone over
and additional changes embodied, if any
are found advisable.
The revision of the regulations was
commenced by Col. Jos. W. Duncan,
Sixth infantry; Major Clarence E. Dent
ler, Twenty-third infantry, and Capt.
William S. Graves, Twentieth infantry,
all of the general staff. Major Dentler
was relieved from duty with the gen
eral staff some time ago, and assigned
to station at San Antonio. Since
that time the work has been carried on
by Colonel Dunean and Captain Graves.
Captains John L. De Witt, Twentieth
infantry, and Merch B. Stewart, Eighth
infantry, who were members of the in
fantry equipment board, assisted in re
conciling the regulations to the new
infantry equipment.
The work of revision was somewhat
handicapped by the fact that there are
no infantry troops stationed in or near
Washington which could be used in try
ing out proposed changes, and this has
emphasized the need of some troops of
that arm in garrison in this vicinity.
The sessions of the army medical
school in Washington for the next term
will commence on Oct. 3, with a class
of 63 first lieutenants of the medical
reserve corps, who have provisionally
qualified for appointment as lieu
tenants and assistant surgeont’in the
medical corps. This is the largest class
that has ever been enrolled at the
school, that of last year, numbering 58,
holding the record up to this time.
Those who qualify in the final examina
tions of the school in April will be ap
pointed to the medical corps, and, if all
qualify, they will fill all but thirteen

of the present number of vacancies.
It is expected, however, that there will
be additional vacancies by April.
A new type of ambulance has been
adopted for the army, and about- 500
of them will ultimately be acquired,
which will be sufficient for ten divis
ions of troops, or 200,000 men. They
will be purchased at the rate of 100 a
year.
The record of the case of Col. George
F. Cooke, retired, which is now being
reviewed by the judge advocate general
of the army, is a voluminous one. Col
onel Cooke was recently tried at Seat
tle, Wash., on charges growing out of
the disappearance some time ago of
$lO,OOO of government funds from Fort
Gibbon, Alaska. Colonel Cooke, then
lieutenant colonel of the Twenty-second
infantry, was in command of the post
at the time, and a private of the regi
ment, who disappeared when the theft
was committed, was charged with the
crime. Many witnesses testified before
the court, including a number of offi
cers of the Twenty-second infantry,
who were brought from the present sta
tion of the regiment at Fort Sam Hous
ton. to this city.
• The army ordnance department not
only purchases silk cartridge cloth for
the army, but also for the navy. This
cloth is used to contain the powder
charges of seacoast and field guns in
proper form for placing in the guns.
The ordnance department is now in the
market for a lot of this cloth in suffi
cient quantities to supply both the
army and navy for a year. About
135,000 square yards of heavy cloth and
60,000 square yards of light cloth are
required. In view of past prices on
this material, it is expected that the
outlav will amount to some $70,000. The
material will be delivered at the
Picatinny arsenal, Dover, N. J.
About four companies of coast artil-|
lery will be sent to the Philippines next
year to relieve the same number of
companies on duty there, and it is like
ly that additional companies will also
be sent from time to time as the Manila
and Subig bays fortifications progress
toward completion and barracks and
quarters become available.
Brigadier General Arthur Murray,
chief of coast artillery, is soon to take
up the selection of these companies for
Philippine service, the first of which
will probably sail from San Francisco
for Manila on Feb. 5 next. When eoast
artillery companies have been previous
ly sent to the Philippine*, more than
enough officers and enlisted men have
requested the detail, and it is expected
that there will be no lack of applicants

The action of the executive officer of
the national match shoot last month at
Camp Perry, Ohio, in throwing out the
entire skirmish run score of the marine
corps team on a technicality, thus put
ting that team in next to the last place,
was not received with general approval
by the other teams. Tha score of the
marine corps team, if the skirmish run
had not been thrown out, would have
entitled the team to second plaee, but
that position was accorded to the cav
alry team of the army. The cavalry does
not believe it is entitled to second place,
in view of the score made by the
marine corps team, and it has made a
formal request that the marine corps
team be given second place. This re
quest will be considered by the nation
al board for the promotion of rifle prac
tice, which has jurisdiction over the
matter, and which will have a meeting
for the jAirpose in Washington,
D. C. The marines are taking the de
cision of the executive officer in a
sportsman-like manner, and they have
made no protest.
Another step was taken last week to
ward the erection of fortifications on
El Fraile Island, at the entrance to
Manila Bay, when on Sept. 20 bids were
to be received for furnishing two tur
reteffin each of which two 14-inch guns
are to be mounted. But one bid was

for $360,000.
Defensive works are being erected on
the other islands at the entrance to
Manila Bay, but El Fraile is too small
to accommodate guns mounted on dis
appearing carriages. It is for this rea
son that turrets somewhat similar to
those used on naval vessels are resort
ed to. This will be the first time that
we so mount seacoast guns, and the
turrets will be exceeded in size only
by two such turrets on tho seacoast of
Italy.
Orders will soon be issued by the war
department directing First Lieut. Ed
mund L. Gruber of the Fifth field artil
lery, to proceed to Hanover, Germany,
and report to the Imeprial Riding acad
emy at that place for the purpose of
taking the regular course of instruc
tion. Lieutenant Gruber is now en route
to Washington from his former station
at the Presidio of San Francisco, and
will start for Germany as soon as possi
ble after bis arrival there. Tho course
begins on Oct. 1, and the officer will
arrive at Hanover as early as practic
able after that time.
The only other officer of our army
now pursuing a course of study abroad
is Capt. Douglas MeCaakey, First cav
atry, who is attending the French school
of equitation at Saumur, Franco. The
scarcity of officers makes it impossi
