A Good Sell.

Captain Whelin was an excellent volun-
teer officer, and because of this at the close
of our late war he received lieutenant's
commission in the regular army and since
then has won his way to the command of
company.
Captain Whelin is an Irishman, and like
all his countrymen he dearly loves joke.
Some time since the captain was stationed
in far western fort, which was COM
manded by Major Phipps of the same regi-
ment.
The major is martinez and his personal
dignity and self Importance are so marked
as to make him an object of ridicule when
his back is turned and an object Of con-
tempt at all times
Captain Whelin, like all his brother Of
ficers, cordially dislikes the major and let's
slip no opportunity Of taking him down
when it can be done without visitation of
military discipline. The captain had been
to Leavenworth, where there is home for
disabled volunteer soldiers, and on his re-
turn he met the major at the Post club,
where the latter was telling how he had
won battles which others claimed the glory
Of. Suddenly Whelin said:

''Kick me!'' shouted the major. II de-
