gen. Harney's Notion OF Dignity.
The following story is told of Gener.
al Harvey when he was in command
at Camp Verde, Texas. He was an
intensely dignified officer, and If there
was one thing he detested more than
another it was undignilied haste. One
evening, just as he was about to hold
dress parade. he perceived that be had
forgotten his handkerchief, and as the
weather was very hot, he said to his
orderly:
"Go to my quarters, quick, and bring
my handkerchief"
The orderly touched his cap and
started for the quarters several hundred
yards distant. After he had proceed
ed short distance, remembering that
there was 10 time to lose, he broke in
| to trot.
oSee that scoundrel running as
if the Indians were after him. If there
Is anything | hate it is to see soldier
runninginstead of marching properly
Here, my man." continued Harvey to
another soldier, ego after that man
and tell him to walk, him"
The second soldier started after the
first, but as the first kept on running
the second one saw his only chance to
deliver the message was to hurry up
SO he, too, broke into run. To say
that Harvey swore is to use a mild
expression.
"Here, Sergeant, go after that man
and tell him if he don't stop running
I'll hang him up by the thumbs"
The Sergeant started out on q ;. brisk
walk, but as his predecess nfHad q
good start he, too, began TO run as
hard as he could
aft all the three scoundrels ain'i
running like jack rabbitsl" calculated
Harvey. "I'll show EN-" and tuckint
his sword under his arm he started il
pursuit as fast as he could run, but
suddenly remembering his dignity hi
came to a halt. and walked stittly bach
to the place where the dress parade
was to come off.-TeDdS Siftings.
