"I'm sure that was real thoughtful of you, Mrs. Loomis," Hepsey replied. "What have you got?" "Well," Mrs. Loomis responded, "I thought I'd bring 'em two pans of my nice fresh soda biscuit." Mrs. Burke kept her face straight, and responded cheerfully: "That was awful nice of you, Mrs. Loomis." "Oh, that's all right. And if you want any more, just let me know."

J. G. Holland has preserved the following incident: Colonel Loomis, who was commandant of Fort Columbus, Governor's Island, in New York Harbor, reached the age at which by law he should be put on the retired list. He was a very religious man, and his influence was so marked that the chaplain and some others, determined to appeal to the President to have him continued at the post. The Reverend Dr.

Almost the first question asked by Miss Loomis was about her patient, the lance corporal. "He is here with us," said Davies, "his hand still in a sling. That was a deep cut and a bad one, but he's a plucky young fellow and declined to be left behind at Sanders. He tells me, however, that the hospital steward with us cannot compare in skill with the nurse he had on the cars." Miss Loomis smiled.
