Plenty To Eat
John Krauss has received a letter from his son, Bert, who is with Company A at Chickamauga. Bert says the fellow who started the report that the boys were not well fed didn't know what he was talking about. He gives the following bill oL fare of the day he wrote: "Breakfast - beef-steak, coffee, potatoes and hard tack (and hard tack is as good as coffee). Dinner - vegetable soup, rice pudding, white bread and coffee. Tonight I guess we won't get much of anything as the rain washed away our wood and filled the camp stove with water, spoiling 120 biscuits and a half mutton." Bert says the camp ground is the prettiest place he ever saw and that the boj-s are all getting along finely. President McKinley is to be given the unique distinction of having a number of a woman's magazine named for him and prepared in his honor. The July issue of The Ladies' Home Journal is to be called "The PresidSnt's Number." It will show the president on horseback on the cover, with the president's new "flghting flag" flying over him; a new maren by Víctor Herbert is called "The President's March;" the state department has allowed the magazine to make a direct photogi'aph of the original parchment of the Declaration of Independence, while the president's own friends and intimates have combined to teil some twenty new and unpublished stories and anecdotes about him which will show him in a manner not before done. The cover will be printed in the national colors. Scythes, Whetstones, Rakes, Pitchforks, etc, at C. Schlenker's, the Hardware Man. The tuneful, romantic children's operetta in four acts, to be given at the Athens Theater on the evenings of June 9 and 10, will be a great treat for the amusement loving people of Arm Arbor. For two months past Reuben H. Kempf has been instructing the principal and chorus of 60 carefully selected voices, including the vested choir of St. Andrew's ehurch. Master Freddie Daley in the title role will have many beautiful solos in whicli to display nis excellent voice. Mr. Warren D. Lombard, a professional stage director, who has been with the leading opera companies, is staging the operetta. The large chorus of Tyroleans, Gypsies, Fairies, Peasants, all exquisitely costumed, in artistic groupings, fancy dances, marches, etc., together with an elabórate stage mounting, will make "The Tyrolean Queen" a grand spectacular productiou. Incidental to the prodaction will be a grand patriotic finale of national airs disciosing a beautiful tableau, "Brealcing Fair Cuba's Shackles."
