the best quality in man, and that il
when man is a soldier. A certain
amount of self-assertion is required in
soldier to convince others that he il
all that warrior ought to be. An
amusing story is told in this connection
of an English general who was one day
reviewing cavalry corps. Stopping
before magnificent-looking fellow in
the ranks, he addressed him with:
(which is the best horse in the regi-
ment?"
No. 40, sir" was the reply.
What makes you think No. lis the
best horse?" asked the general.
Because he's good walker, good
trotter, a good runner. and a good
jumper. He has no viciousness. is
graceful of action, and is just the right
age for good service"
Those are good reasons" said the
general. Now whom do you consider
the best SOLDIER"
tom Jones'" replied the soldier.
Because he is man of honor, obedi-
ent, neat and attends strictly to his
duty"
.Who rides the horse?r asked the
general.
"This same Tom Jones, sir" was the
answer.
"And where can l fipd Jones?
Il am he, SIR" replied the soldier.
The general laughed, and gave the
man sovereign. Nor is it to be doubted
that he afterwards kept an eye upon
Jones and No. 40 to see If the man and
steed were not worthy of more con-
spicuous place than they thus occupied.
