Whew! Ouch! But that cold bath was a bracer. Honest, boys, how did you like it? Elmer Morris, who disliked to give up his fine drug store on North Twen ty-fourth street, will be able to stick to his pestle and mortar in camp, as he has been transfererd to the hos pital corps and placed in charge of | the dispensary. Earl Wheeler, the smiling good natured giant of the bunch, has been made a clerk in the adjutant’s office. Andrew Reed, whose specialty is embalming, has also been made a clerk in the adjutant’s office. When the boys reach Berlin, Andrew’s tal ents as an embalmer and undertaker can be employed upon the Germans. The live bunch at Funston require no embalming. Edward W. Killingsworth, whose fame as a tonsorial artist had pre ceded him, has been put in charge of the officers’ barber shop. If those handsome officers are not made hand somer under Ed’s artistic touch, no body else need try. By the way, and this is strictly sub rosa, Ed is just itching to get hold of der kaiser’s moustache. Smoke John Ruskin Be Cigar. Big gest and Best.—Adv. OUR BOYS ARRIVE AT CAMP FUNSTON “With the Colors,” Oct. 28. Editor Monitor: We arrived at Camp Funston this morning at 6:30. All the boys were in fine spirits and glad to get to camp. We have already become much enthused with a soldier’s duties. At Kansas City, where we stopped for several hours, most of the boys put in their time drilling in the sta tion sheds and were able to put up a splendid showing in drill today, espe cially those from the Fifth Division of Omaha. Our trip was pleasant from begin ning to end. All the boys were very much pleased with the farewell re ception given them at the station. The camp is not yet full of troops, 1 but we expect all the rest in by next j Friday. Respectfully, PRIVATE ELMER MORRIS, Co. M, Colored Infantry. Camp Funston, Kan.
