Won Schraders Predicament.

Among the foreign officers in the SER
vice, none had a greater tendency to
tangle the English language than Colo
mel Won Schrader. The Colonel was
famous as q drill master. and was ex-
treme in his notions of discipline. On
one march, during the rainy and mud
dy season, he insisted that the men
should keep the road, instead of taking
to the fields, as men in other regiments
were allowed to do. This order made
the men sullen and ill-natured. Soon
there was a diversion. They approach
ed point where the road had been
cut through a hill. The top of the
bank on each side was grass clad.
The fence separating the road from the
fields was at the commencement of the
ascent, say ten feet from the edge of
the bank, but as it neared the top, and
the incline took the surface further in
ward, the fence approached the bank
until it cut off entirely the path and
stood on the very edge of the precipit-
Gus height. The Colonel had been
guiding his horse to the side, so as to
escape the mud, and absorbed in
thought allowed the horse to commence
and continue the ascent of the hill.
The boys pulling through the mud
below watched his progress with the
greatest interest. AS his horse finally
reached the top of the hill and was
stopped by the fence, and the Colonel
started, amazed and alarmed by this
unexpected barrier, great laughing
shout went up from the regiment, and
the question, How are you, Colonel y
was repeated with innumerable sug.
gestive modulations of voice. The
Colonel attempted to turn his horse
but could not. An attempt to make
the animal back down for turning
space induced a frightened scramble
that came near resulting seriously tt
the rider. Bewildered and enraged
the snappish little Colonel raised il
his stirrups, and, shaking his fist at thu
laughing men below, calculated in hi
wrath: "The more lives the longer
