The 18th Regiment of Michigan In

story is in circulation. of a joke played
upon the Surgeon of the Regiment, as fol-
lows: "One day after he had gotten
through the inspection of soldiers, chap
presented himself. and asked the Surgeon
if he could examine him. The Surgeon
told him he could, but was tired and hop
ed he had finished for to-day. But the
examination proceeded in due form, inclu-
ding the stripping process. At the close.
the Surgeon asked him what company he
belonged to? Well, not exactly to any.
What company are you going to join ?
Well. don't know as any. What, are you
not going to enlist at all Don't know
as shall. What did you come to be ex-
amined for then? Wall, l come into
town with load of wood, and heard you
was examining today, and tho't I'd come
in and see if was Sound" The Sur.
geou thought the joke too good to keep,
and so told it; but he now hears of it
much oftener. and in more forms than be
anticipated. L. NJ. MERRIMAN.
