paper which, he told me was my re
ceipt, and I thanked him, and then
beat it back to the fellow what said
he was the first sergeant of Com
pany C.
The first sergeant guy took me to
one of the houses down to the right
of the main road, which looked like a
great big barn. He told me that he
would give me a good room, and I
could get my trunk and fix my bed
up for the night.
He took me to a room that had a
table, a washstand, a couple of chairs
and two beds in it. The beds were
the funniest looking arrangements I
ever saw; they were shoulder high off
the floor, and looked like a fellow
would have to have a ladder to go to
bed at night, or else be a good high
jumper.
I went down to get my trunk, and
after a long search found it way at
the bottom of a big pile of suit cases,
boxes, trunks and everything else. I
For his manner is suggestive of that
took it upstairs to my room, and
started to unpack it when someone
opened the door, and said: “Fish,
come out of there and help me carry
my trunk upstairs.”
I was beginning to learn that it
didn’t pay to talk back, so I went out
and helped the fellow bring his trunk
upstairs. I was kept pretty busy the
rest of the afternoon helping this fel
low and that one carry his trunk up
stairs, or do something else for him.
1 finally managed to get my bed made
up, and was sitting in my room won
dering what to do next, when I heard
a horn tootin’ outside and someone
opened the door and said: “Come on,
‘Fish,’ let’s go to supper.”
I went out with the fellow, and
after standing around a good while,
listening to the fellows yelling to
some man in front of each bunch, and
watching them stand still while some
fellows played a tune on their horns,
and another fellow pulled down a flag
from a big high pole, we finally got
to a long, low, tin building where the
fellows ate.
Of all the noise and bad manners I
ever saw at the table, this bunch
sure took the cake. They yelled for
“reg,” “wood,” “sawdust,” “dope,” and
every other thing imaginable, and
bawled me out every time I happened
to pass the wrong thing to them.
I went to my room as soon as 1
could get out of the dining room, and
undressed ready to go to bed, for 1
■didn’t have any light globe and didn’t
want to stay in the dar by myself.
I had just fallen asleep when some
one came in, pulled me out of bed,
and told me to dress and go down to
the room at the end of the hall at
once. I oheye orders this time, and
going to the room where I was told
to report found mseyf in the same
condition that lots of others appeared
to be in.
What they did to myself and the
other fellows would take too long to
tell, and besides it will be more in
teresting for you next year if I keep
it a secret, so I’m going to leave off
telling you of my experiences.
Next time you see Sally tell her I
love her in the same old way and will
drop her a note as soon as I find
time.
I must close this letter now, for I
hear someone hollering for the “fish”
to turn out for a boxing match.
Write me, and tell me about the
crops and affairs at the farm.
I remain, your best chum,
SAM DOOIT.
ANOTHER NEW FIRM ON THE
CAMPUS.
We wish to announce through the
Fish Battalion that the Fish of Com
pany K have opened a new barber
shop on the second floor of Milner
Hall. The State Health Officer has
inspected the shop and has said that
it was the most up-to-date shop in
Texas, and that everything was sani
tary. We have just received four
models from France and we take great
pleasure in introducing to you “Dutch”
Zincke, “T. Bone” Franklin, “Jew
Fish” Yakel, and “Creature” Hill.
These models can be seen at any hour
on the campus or at Leigh’s confec
tionery. We do business from 1:30
p. m. till 5:30 p. m. Sundays we keep
open all day. We have ten first-class
barbers who have come direct to us
from all parts of Europe and Africa.
We make a specialty of cutting young
professors’ hair so they will look like
profs.
Yours for better and scientific hair
cutting,
COMPANY K FRESHMEN.
REMOVAL OF THE COLLEGE TO
AUSTIN—W-H-A-T?
Did someone mention Austin? Show
him to us, but no, we couldn’t hurt
him, for anyone who posseses so much
nerve deserves to live.
We suppose everyone has heard of
the rumor about moving this college
to Austin and turning this into an in
sane asylum or orphans’ home. For
our part, we think the asylum is where
it belongs now, as Austin is a beauti
ful city and it is not their fault if the
University was built there.
In our opinion, they would have
something resembling a Mexican rev
olution if they mixed the students of
the two institutions, as brotherly love
is sadly lacking between students of
these schools.
In conclusion, we think that if the
money required to move this school
was applied to improve that which is
already here, a noble purpose would
be accomplished. So leave old A. and
M. where she is and we will sleep in
peace.
STRANGE DISEASE AMONG FISH.
An epidemic of baldness seems to
be prevalent among the Freshmen
generally. It is purely a “Fish” dis
ease and is remarkably deadly in ef
fect, often entirely destroying a whole
head of hair in one night. Steps have
been taken to stop its further prog
ress, but, due to the rapid action of
the malady, no resulis have been at
tained and it continues to rage.
“Happy” Caldwell (to his room
mate)—Say, Honk, I didn’t know
that they got out new cross-arms for
the army each year.
“Honk” Thomson—I didn’t, either.
Happy—Yes, they do; I saw the
Bull wearing cross-arms with a ’13 on
them today.
