SIX SMALL BOYS AND DRUMS.

One of General Sherman's Boy Drum-
mers Has Organized a Corps.

Did you ever know a small boy who didn't like to drum? Six small Kansas City boys are getting their fill of drumming these days under the tuition of Nathaniel Baker, who, as a lad of 11 years, drummed for General Sherman on his march to the sea. Mr. Baker, who is a Shriner, is organizing the drum corps of boys and will have them play in public in a short time. The boys who have already been picked out are Jack McKernan, 15 years old; Ira Bruner, Jr., 12 years old; Arthur Munday, 11 years old; Raymond House, 15 years old; William Rawlings, 12 years old, and Shirley Nicol, 9 years old. All of them are sons of members of the order, and although they have met but seven times they are making remarkable progress.
