T'ii white duck trousers were cli.uiKod t 'i blue ones and white shirts for sweaters; personal belonjjInKs were iiaeked: nil litter was cleaned up, and nt "takes were pulled. Th striking if camp Is a novel and pretty slnht. Alter the stakes were pulled two men ie stationed nt the poles of each in and the hauler took Ills position i tin- end of the middle company Me-.

As the last ii 'te died mvay every tent In camp i in i .1 nvn and the boys cheered. The linggnKo was quickly loaded and -tnrted for the depot. This part of the ..iU was under tho direction of juaitermnster Sei-Rennt Teeb. Tlu '' s took u last lunk about the old . .imp and the last march was begun. Uotite mder was observed nearly all tie way and the cheering and singing and yelling that was Indulged In all tho vwi through town was Inspiring ln Uid. They cheered for everything and everybody and Nebraska City In gen eral. In fact if thoy had not been In rnnks It Is doubtful If the mayor would hiiM- escaped beliif, tossed ns a final n!ii' if the appreciation of the wiiole ( ailed hospitality of the Nebraska City . "Pi" t the depot the scene was lively. All tie lms who had made acquaintances lining their stay were bidding fond a Ileus and making many promises that t n mdot battalion would never con - in to camp any where except at Ne i .i-ku City, Ib-ie a'o the diversion which was al vas at hand enme Into use again, and tue tos.Mliitr canvas wni put In motion I'M-iyoiie was tossed agnln. It wasn't i my enough to sling tho cadets, who i iis d to It, thirty or forty feet In the .ill and catch them head first In the enn- .1-, only to be sent up again. So the 1 -t.ni.lers were given n chance and m unsuspecting and sedate citizens whisked into the canvas and up In ! .ii before they could object. T:i. train left at S o'clock and deafen-i"t- cheers and rtlle shots and the last iimiK that was heard as the train dls- i aied was the sweet notes of the . i I laiolllarsong. "flood Night, Lndles," ' ..:n the throats of two hundred cadets w'lo t i the qutstloil, "Wllll'f all ligh?" "ill now- Invariably answer "The Nu 1 ,ilui Ity Kirls." Yesterdny afternoon little groups of inlets were noticed hero and there all 'er town an1 there was as much story t. lllng and reminiscencing as If the i .ittalbm had been through a three-year .i i Instead of a three-day camp. The i's are all tired, for there are few io took mole than six or elht hours -I' ' p during the whole camp, but still i lii M- (Hiinot b ie found who Is hoi ry ii went 'Die camp was most success ul The weather was fine. Not a thing Happened to mar the good time the i.os expected to have. if course a number of things Imp-p'-n-'d which need explanation and among them the most Inqulrod about Is: ' Who loaded and fired tho cannon?" It was bright and moonlight Saturday morning and not a soul was In sight iiai the guard tent except the plckot, when suddenly tho cannon, standing a ft w paces off, was discharged. Tho ser (,.ant of the guard called a number of nun and made a vigorous Investigation, but failed to find a trace of the mls- hief-makois it wih found that the other gun was also loaded in the morn ing It wns found that tno persons who had done the firing had failed to take out the wooden and leather plug which Is put In the muzzle to keep the banel clean, and this had plowed up tho ground several i'oiIh away. No harm resulted, but what It might have done had anyone been near Ih alarming to think about. On tho way homo tho train stoppod fifteen or twenty tnlnutofl at Syracuso and a number of tho boys went up town. When the train loft thoro was Homo running and sorambllng to got on. A soareli proved that ovorybody had made It except Adjutant llarne. He could not be found Whon the train stopped again, howovor, he turned up, or rather down, for ho hail been riding on top of a frolght car, which wa the only place ho could got on In tho rush, and as the blind bnggttgo was between him and the paiiengor coaches ho had been unable to show himself till tho train stopped. CAMP KCIIOttS. llugler Smith was the most faithful man In camp. From reveille a' f In the morning till taps at 10 o'clock at night Smith was nlwnyn about. Yes. and he could blow the bugle ton. The bugle playing he did nt the cemetery on Saturday afternoon was one of the most beautiful and Impressive parts of the exorcises. Tlie bond was the Jolllest orew around. So iny nil tho boys nnrt espe cially tlmie who happened to have beat number I. Sergeant Thomas Improved the op portunity Saturday afternoon to sloop. He lay down on the grass immediately In front of tho speaker's stand and while Tom Majors was growing elo quent (toorge quietly dreamed of the exams, that were to come. adjutant Hnrnes says the Nebraska i'lt Klrls are all right. According to the boys he should put this In the singular and give it considerable em phnsis. for the bright sword of the adjutant outlined against a nent, blue dress wns one of. the things about camp that became a familiar sight. The oillcers of the day during camp were: Wednesday, Captain Heed; Thursday, Captain 1'uUIb; Friday, Captain Schwartz; Saturday, Captain Heed. Corporal Nuasell had the honor of making the first arrest. Sergeant Orownover of 13 company wns sergeant of the guard Wednesday; Sergeant Parmelec of company A ncted In that cnpaclty Thursdny;Sor geant Thomas of C company relieved Sergeant I'armelee at guard mount Friday morning and Sergeunt Emer son filled this Important olllce on the last day. The oillcers of the guard for the fotii days were First Lieutenants Ad ams, McCorty, Henjnmin, Warner and Len Itt. Will McKay came down from Lin coln Friday afternoon nml reported for duty at once. Not the least amusing of kodak shots is the one which Charlie Crown uvti is showing of Hay Teele wrapped In a blanket and soaring heavenward from the tossing blanket. Now thnt camp Is over the ques tion the stay-at-homes are asking Is. "Why didn't we go?" They all will next time. Horace Creeley Whltmore spent a day In Nebraska City during the en- enmpiuent. He snys he Is plonsed with the plnoe and thinks there Is an open ing there for a democratic newspaper, son. There were' a number of kodaks In camp and everything wns picture l and In every way. The oillcers who were honored with the distinction of being oillcers of the dn. were Cadet Captains Heed, Schwnrtz nnd I'uIIb. fm account of a very badly sprained knee, Cmlot Cuptnlu Sedgwick was un able to go to camp and Cadet First Lieutenant Kenjamln wns In command of company I). Drum Major Heuge was a very con spicuous object about town In his gay unifoim. So the gliis thought. "Short" Lenhoff wos the largest man In camp, and there wnan't a small boy In town who didn't learn to call him "Shorty" when they mot him. ProfosHor Hastorday wt'.s tho only man In camp who wasn't tossed. The band boys hnd a hard timo protecting him though. Captain Oullfoylo took dlnnor with Cadot Corporal Blschoff at his homo In Nebraska City Saturday. Company n had n menagorto, consist ing of an olophant with sabre scabbards for tusks, and a giraffe. H. G. Barber and A. C. Fling, who are tenoning In tho Nebraska City high school, woro in tholr element among the cadets and folt as If they were really cadets themselves.
