H'olseley .Merely a stripling. It Is pleasant to come across old war riors who. having fought in many dimes against many people, ore still hale nn.l hearty, says the Baturday Evening rsi. The other day one of England's veteran-: Field Marshal Blr Frederick I*. Haines, celebrated his Hat birthday. Just slxty-one year* ago he began his career as a warrior, and fifty-five years age he went through hi, first .-ampuls", seeing most of the fighting that look plara tn the ButleJ campaign <f IMS. Al most the first time he smelt powder he His next campaign was that In the Punjab In IMS-9, and later he fought through the 111-managed Crimea. Twen ty year* later he w* made commander in-chief In India, and was specially thank ed hy parliament for his tact and energv in the Afghanistan operation* The old warrior is hale und hearty and still has nn opinion of hie own. It Is told of him that a dictum of Lord Wol,eley's was quoted against one of his own. Blr Frederick rapped hia cane on the floor snd shouted: “Wotostoy! Wolseleyl A clever lad. I'll admit, but a mere stripling yet. sir, u mere stripling’" As Isrr.l Wolseley I* oniy 7. that settled 11. of course. A Modest Request.

On# day. when he officer of the watch, and ha could not. as usual. ,| n d anything of consequence lo grumble about, he attempted to vent his spite on on* of the stokers uf the vessel, who was In the engine-room, on duty. "Going to the speaking lube, the officer yelled "Is lljere a blithering Idiot at the end of this tubeT' The reply came quick and startling: "Not at this end. air,” The feelings of the officer, as he turned away with a black frown, can be better tmaglnrd than described.
