Sweet Charity.
The major at a certain recruit depot
was approached one day by a man who
had obviously been in the service only
long enough to draw his uniform. The
rookie failed to salute, but the major,
a kindly man in spite of twenty years
of army life, overlooked it.
The buck gazed with respectful awe
at the string of campaign ribbons
across the major’s broad chest.
“Gosh!” he remarked, “you must be
an old timer.”
“Yes,” answered the major pleas
antly, “I am.”
“Say,” began the buck cordially in a
whisper, “do you ever drink any
thing?”
The major was truthful as well as
kindly. He admitted that once in a
while he took a small nip, and then
turned away, as his new-found ac
quaintance was proving embarrais
ing.
“Wait,” said the hospitable rookie,
“I got some here—”
This was too much even for a kind
ly disposed major.
“Corporal of the guard!” he bawled.
“Aw,” protested the buck. “Don’t
call your friends—there’s only enough
for two."—American Legion Weekly.
