The Rev. Henry G. Oronin de-

He said: "It is best that men

The colonel, q rigid martinez, is
sitting at the window of his room,
when looking out he sees a captain
crossing the barrack-yard toward
the gate. Looking at him closely,
he is shocked to observe that, the
rules and regulations to the con-

does not carry sword.
"Captain" he calls from the
window; "Hi, captain; step up to
my room for moment, will YOU ?"
The captain obeys promptly, bor-
rows a sword Of the officer of the
guard, the guard-room being at the
foot of the stairs, and presents
himself to the colonel, in ire
proachable tenue.
The colonel is somewhat sur
prised to see the sword in its place,
and, having to invent some pretext
for calling his subordinate back,
says, with some confusion: {" l beg
your pardon, captain, but really

The captain salutes, departs, re-
turns the sword to the owner, and
is making off across the barrack-
yard, when he again comes within
the range of the colonel's vision.
The colonel rubs his eyes, stares
says softly to himself. Chow in
