" LILLIAN WELBORN , Co. Sup't. A Soldier Boy's Letter. Catholic Truth Society , Camp Merrill , San Francisco , Cal. , June i6lh 1898 Dear Father : I received your letter to day. The letters I have written to you have all borne my address. The reason why I have not named my "camp or com pany was because I was not j-etassigned. San Francisco is a city of wonders. It is always cool here on account of the breeze from the bay.I cannot tell you anything , much about army life yet , for I am not settled down enough and have to study to drill. We. use the ' 97 Krag- Jorgensen. We have to .drill five hours a day. We eat-beans , bacon , bread , hash and coffee. , We have one knapsack , one haversack , one combined plate and frying-pan , one cup , knife , fork and spoon. I belong to the regulars. I have one knit shirt of blue , a pair of shoes , a hat , , plenty of underwear , a blanket and that is all. My companions in the tent are the nicest fellows I know. When I was in Fort McPherson , from which place I wrote you , we lived two weeks on slum and hard-tack and had no blankets. Eight days have passed since my nineteenth birthday. I have a fine time going on the steamboats. I went to a park picnic ; we had fat women's races and several other things. We are camped by the Golden Gate park ; it has all kinds of .foreign plants and trees in it. On one of these high hills or low mountains is a high building where a fine viexv can be obtained of all the city. To the south of us is the Golden Gate park ; to the east is about three miles of graves and also a crematory ; to the west is a graveyard ; we are also encamped over an old Chinese burying ground.

One died because he ate too little , the other because he ate too much. The one crossed the valley of the shadow as the result of not feeding a cold and thus allowing the cold to become pneu monia. The other crossed the same valley as the result of eating pies and doughnuts and candied yams when he should have been eating bacon and beans and fried potatoes. Perhaps the volunteers will learn that the unpalatable rations furnished by Uncle Sam are really the best suited for men in the field. Collier's Weekly. Parent Plant Destroyed.
