Comrade Qleber. and his neig’h-

strenuous service with the famous

Civil War. They and their women
folk have instlttltcd' this annual
outing with the idea. that the
proper way to make an old soldier
happy is to gather at lot or his
kind together, give 'em plenty to
out. plenty to smoke. a euchrc deck
or two. plenty M‘Bhude and cool-
ing drinks. and then let 'cnl alone
to swap yarns. play jokes on each
other. with a little music-and a
