In n group of army officers at the club the
other day the following aneclote was told:
''Tea or fifteen years ago." the narrator
said, "Col r. S. Mackenzie, Fourth United
States cavalry, now OIL the retired list OF the
army rs brisadier general, was considered
the next candidate for appointment Of briga-
dier general. His principal rival was an
other wearer OF the silver eagle upon his
shoulder straps, Col. N. A Miles, of the Fifth
infantry, now brisadier general in command
Of the division of the Pacific, who was as
anxious, of course as Col. Mackenzie to Sc
cure the star of brigadier general In Col
Mackenzie's regiment there was then 4 griz-
lied veteran. Capt. Napoleon B. McLaugh-
len. One bright starlight night they wero
together In camp ON a scout on the plains in
Texas Col Mackenzie was walking up and
down near his tent in his nervous manner,
swapping his fingers. when suddenly he
stopped and gaze.i intsntly up into tho
heavens Capt. Mclaughlin stepping out a
his tent, observed the colonel in this attitude,
and remarked:

"'Oh,' replied the colonel. carelessly, 4 am
only looking for q star
"'Colonel,' replied Capt. Mclaughlin, Il
fear there's Miles between you and that
