HIS COMMAND.
An embryonic officer at the train
ing camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Geor
gia, was attempting to put his men
through the maneuvers of the school
of the squad, and soon had 'his men
in an inextricable tangle. The more
commands he gave, te worse the con
fusion became,, until the men were
marched into a fence, where they 'had
to stop. Then the young officer, in
desperation, gave the follow.ng com
mand :
“Get away from that fence! M irch!”
WHY THE JUDGE WAS POWER
LESS.
The jury, after long deliberation,
seemed unable to agree in a perfectly
clear case. The judge, thoroughly ex
asperated at the delay, sa:d:
“I discharge this jury."
One sensitive juror, indignant at
what he considered a rebuke, faced
the judge
“You can’t discharge me 1” he said,
with a tone of conviction.
“And why not?” inquired the judge
in surprise.
“Because,” announced the juror,
pointing to the lawyer for the de
fense, “I was hired buy that man
there 1”
SHE DID HER BEST.
Margaret was naughty and her
mother punished her by putting her
in the closet. She was very quiet for
a while and her mother, thinking she
had repented, opened the door and
said, “ Margaret, what are lyou do
ing?”
A gentle little voice answered, “I
pit on your new dress and I pit on
your new hat and I am wait ng for
more pit to pit on your paratal.’
THE MENACING GROCERMAN.
“I’ll attend to lyou in a minute,” was
a mother's way of addressing delin
quents, and her four-year-old under
stood its import. One day she sent
him for soda, and lie returned empty-
handed.
“He was goin’ to ’pank me,” the
baby complained of the grocerman.
“Oh, no, he wouldn’t do that,” de-
n'ed the perplexed mother.
“ ’Es, um would,” sobbed the child.
“He kep’ ,sell'ng to odder folkses, and
kep’ sayin’ to me, ‘I’ll attend to you
in a minute.’”
AN UNCONSCIOUS CONFESSION.
The fair young financee said gush
ingly, “Oh, Henry, I can’t understand
it! Why do you lavsh this wealth
of love upon me, when there are so
many girls more beautiful and worthy
than I?"
The literal young man thought care
fully a moment, then replied serious
ly-
“I’m blamed if I know!”
And Henry doesn’t know yet what
he was forgiven for an -hour later.
