Show Drill . Amenities. Mayor John Purroy Mitchel said at a dinner in New York : "The memories of camp life are a tery pleasant thing to any soldier Even the little vivacities of camp life seem in the retrospect pleasant enough. "Thus I often laugh about a banker who was being drilled one day at Plattsburg by a broker-sergeant. " 'What'll you give me,' said the broker-sergeant, an old Yale end, 'if I take that hump off your back?' " 'I'll give you,' the banker answered, an-swered, with a tart laugh, 'something to make your hair grow, sarge.' " |
