The Humble German Soldier.

We saw recently little squad david
ling along in their uniforms through the
heat, the most ambitionless, hot, weary or
lazy souls, dragging one foot after the
other rs if cannon ball were attached to
each, writes Berlin correspondent.
''Poor fellows, we thought, chow plainly
every line about them tells the oppression
and misery of the whole brutal system I"
When all at once, to our amazcmcnt, they
stilTcncd up like ramrods, flung ono leg
out in front at an angle of forty five de-
grecs with force enough to kick down n
rampant, and then brought the heel of
the ironclad member down upon the
pavement like blacksmith's hammer,
the sparks flying in all directions. We
looked on in amazement, wondering what
had happened to them, when in the dis
lance appeared diminutive corporal,
the occasion of the whole excitement.
The same awe of their superiors runs
through the entire German army. A COM
mon soldier having his boots BACKED
will instantly stand inside, before the
operation is completed, MS corporal
steps up. He in turn gives place to an
officer, and in II few minutes three of
these accommodating individuals are
standing in row, bolt upright, with
their trousers turned up, and each one
with boot BACKED. When the fourth
has been served he passes along with
dignity, and each of the other three takes
his turn in regular order until the com
mon soldier is finally reached.
