THE LADIES MADE THEM "The uniforms are all on.  They are admirable fits, all of them, except say eighty or 100 of them.  I now speak of the Grays.  The majority of the boys are able to get their pantaloons from the floor by buttoning the waist-bands around their necks.  Others accomplish this desirable result by bringing the waist-bands tight up under the arms and rolling them up six or eight inches at the bottom.  To be sure, this is a little inconvenient in some respects.  A fellow has to take off his belt, then his coat, and then ascend one story before he can reach his pockets, and after reaching them they are so deep that one has to take the pants off entirely before he can reach the bottom.  Each pocket will hold a shirt, blanket and even the wearer himself, if at any time he finds such a retreat necessary.  And the coats fit beautifully-almost, in fact, as well as the pants.  To be sure, half of them are two feet too large around the waist and almost as much too small around the chest, but then these two drawbacks admirably offset each other.  In the case of fifteen or twenty of them, the tip of the collar is but a trifle above the small of the wearer's back, and in the case of about as many more the same article is a few inches above the head of its owner.  The same collar, also, in some cases terminates beneath each ear of the wearer and in many others it sweeps way around in magnificent curves, forming a vast basin whose rim is yards distant from the neck of the possessor, and the sleeves, too, have here and there a fault.  Some are so tight under the arms that they lift one up as if he were swinging upon a couple of ropes that passed under his armpits.  Others strike boldly out and do not terminate their voluminous course till at a distance of several inches beyond the tips of his fingers, whole others conclude their journey after marching an inch or two below the elbows.  With these few exceptions the coats and pantaloons fit magnificently, and are admired as being the finest in the reginment."

ASTONISHED KEOKUKIAN The following appeared in the Keokuk Journal in May, 1861:  "A crowd gathered along Main street yesterday evening to witness some extraordinary performances of Capt. Bob Littler's State Guards, Company B, of the Second Regiment.  Up and down Main and down other streets, around squares and back again for three miles, without halt or slack, this company ran in double quick time last evening, and this, too, after a squad drill of four hours during the day, besides a long company parade.  Toward the last of the double quck one of the men picked up the drummer, put him on his shoulder, and so marched along, apparently without incumbrance.  After all this drilling the company halted on main street and built a pyramid, three men high and consisting of twenty men in all.  Then six men forned a lock step, three abreast, with two men laid across their shoulders.  One man stood on top of them and so they marched for a square or so, and after this, executed a double quick drill, the whole performnance being entirely voluntary.  The members of this company in age average twenty-five years; in height, five feet and seven and a half inches; in weight, one hundred and sixty pounds, and composed mostly of raftsmen and firemen.  In muscular exercise they challange the worst.  They may almost be called a company of gymnasts and athletes.  Some of their performances are actually astonishing.  Captain Littler was himself chief engineer of the fire department and local editor of the Daily Gazette of Davenport for six years, and perhaps a part of his present power of muscle came from so much of that needless running after items which must be tried to be appreciated.  If their pluck be equal to their muscle (and no one who sees them can doubt it) this company will make mighty men of war and we wish them and their gallant captain every success in the world." When Captain Wentz's company was organized in 1861 at the first call for a regiment by Governor Kirkwood, there were no uniforms for the newly made soldiers.  The ladies of Davenport came to the rescue and made for the members of Captain Wentz's company the uniforms they wore when they left the city for the front.  They probably were not so well fitting and so natty looking as those now in vogue in the United States army, and for that reason the members of a Dubuque military organization poked fun at Captain Wentz's boys and their home-made blouses.  Subsequently the good ladies of Dubuque made for their soldier boys new uniforms and Franc B. Wilkie wrote for his home paper the following intensely humorous description of the Dubuque Grays' military togs.

A HUNGRY AUDIENCE The following amusing account of the return of the 24th Iowa Volunteess from the front to Davenport to be mustered out, appeared in the "Annals of Iowa" in April, 1895:  "It appears that the regiment had reached Chicago at 11:00 o'clock at night, supperless, but when it became a question between going after something to eat or stealing a train then in waiting for the Twenty-second Iowa and getting off at once, supper was not considered for a moment.  But it did seem a little trying, upon arriving in Davenport about 9:00 o'clock next forenoon, without breakfast, as a matter of course, to be drawn up the first thing to listen to speeches of welcome from two or three of the warm-hearted Iowans, residents there.  The occasion was somewhat inspiring.  Here stood the survivors of the 1,000 men who in answer to their country's call had left their state three years before and now returned in triumph with 'glory and scars,' holding aloft the banner under which their comrades died and which had by them been borne with honor on may bloody fields.  Little wonder that Davenport orators wished to 'improve the opportunity.'  But never, methinks, was eloquence so sadly handicapped.  Colonel Wright made a response, the brevity of which testified to his appreciation of the situation, and then away we went to Camp McClellan-only to find that not only was there no breakfast there but no rations.  Then the colonel made another speech, brief but emphatic, when he started to the city to stir someone up, in virtue of which we managed to break our long fast, sometime in the afternoon."
