They discovered the mistake,' however, in time to revenge themselves on Bugler Rollin M atson. Obediently, trustfully, yawning and sleepy-eyed, the men had turned out at the first tuneful notes of reveille. The hands of Matson’s tin watch had stuck and misled him. It was not until all were up and awake that they realized the mistake of their chief bugler. Then they were more than righteously indignant. They wore thoroughly upset. Some spent the hour's vacation read ing and writing letters. One man said it was the first opportunity he had had for two weeks to write to his wife. M'hen time came for assembly, Mat son's bugle had vanished. Finally, after a frantic search it was found—smashed! The bugle he had carried through the Spanish-America.m war. Nobody enlightened him. However, later in the day he was presented with a shining new one by the conscience stricken men. But Watson’s heart yearned for his veteran friend. Somehow he managed to patch it up i ntime for tattoo and taps on Tueseday. But alas! the faithful instrument was somewhat the worse for wear, and people in the vicinity of the O. T. C. down town quar ters, who were used to beautiful, high and clear, gradually softening and dying away notes of taps, heard false notes— high pitched and falling- flat. Among themselves they said, “The .regular O. T. C. bugler must he down with the flu, poor fellow, an.l they have a new man.’’ TWELVE IH MEN EM GOLD STIRS Two Killed In Action; Plague Takes Six Other of University.
