"ROOSTER CROWING."
"We live in a wonderful age." No doubt many of us have tried to imitate the acts of great and worthy heroes of the past, but there seems to be a tendency among some of the boys (or kids, they should be called,) in barracks to try, and as near as possible, imitate the crow of the Shanghai rooster. Is not this enough to convince any one that this is a wonderful age? Now to what degree of closeness these chaps will imitate the Shanghai.cannot be said. A truly great man has said "Anything can be accomplished with will and determination," and if this be true, we will have in our midst quite soon, game cadets, always on duty to give the night alarm and tell the approach of day. However, there is one rule they should observe, and that is don't crow before taps or 11 o'clock, or the officer of the day might accidentally run up on you.
WANTED.
An advertisement for the last page of cover. Who will give it to us?
