An Oriental Question.

The Russo-TurkiSh war revives
an old story. A Turkish and a
Russian officer once fell into dis
pute as to the superiority in disci-
pline of their respective soldiers.
81 can prove to you on the spot,
said the Russian, chow perfectly
our men are trained" And he
called his orderly.
"Ivan."
"Sir,"
"Go to Mehemet's, buy me n
pound Of tobacco, and come back
at once"
The soldier saluted, turned on
his heel and went out.
"Now," said the Russian officer,
taking out his watch, "my orderly
is walking straight to the next cor
ner, where he must turn-now he
is turning-now he is opposite the
white mosque-now he is crossing
the maydan-now he is buying the
tohacco-pow he is coming back
now he is on the block below MS
how he is at the door-now'-
and the officer called out:
"lvan."
"Sir."
"Where's the tobacco!"
"IIere, sir"
The Turkish officer. showing no
sign of surprise at the precision
of this Russo-tohacco movement,
promptly broke out: "Ho! no!
my soldier can do that every day
in the week." and he called:
"Muhctar."
"Sir.'
AGO to Ali EfTendi's and see that .
you bring me pound of tobacco.
My pipe is empty
"Instantly, sir"
Following the tactics of the Rus
sian officer, the Turk pulled out |
his watch and went on:
"Now Muhctar is in the street
now he is passing the palpooch ba-
zaar; now it is noon and he is say
ing prayers; now he is drinking at
the stone fountain now Ali Effen-
Iii halls him and asks about nv
health; now Muhctar is paying for
the tobacco; now he is coming
back by another way; now he is
on our street; now he is at the
door; now
"Muhctar," shouted the officer.
"Sir"
"Where is my tobacco ?"
81 haven't found my shoes yet"
