part-ing The men generally however bore the last scenes with stoicism although a fev of them gave way to their feelings and shed scalding tears at the final I handshaking Although they were not uniformed the men made a fine appearance as they marched on from the armory to the station Not all of them reported a t the first call but when they were lined up at the station according to all the information which could be ascertained I the men all answered here excepting except-ing those who were recruited from Ogden Og-den Some of the boys got better sendoff than others on account of their being better known Angus K Nicholson formerly a reporter on The Herald was tendered an ovation by his many friends Trilby appeared in a cap and with a pair of blankets and a lot of tin dinner ware and

of the last car and was cheering in reply to many cheers as the train rounded the curve above the station They were off To write of every scene and Incident would be tedious Because they were numerous

sympathized but the soldier had held up his hand Joe Ivins was late in enlisting as he was awaiting an order from the adjutant ad-jutant general which came in time lie got in just 15 minutes before the train started and had to make a rush for it But better late than never Joe may be last but not least by any means The boys go to the scene of their duties du-ties with the prayers and good wishes of their friends and relatives all hoping hop-ing that glory and success may wait on them till they return with banners flying fly-ing wearing the victors crown The ladies of the Red Cross were on hand as usual 4 substantial lunch with fruit and lemonade was served to the men and in addition to this the ladies la-dies took the additional precaution to see that the men were all comfortably fixed
