The Awkward Orderly.

A young ysg of an officer, making a
morning call upon his superior in the
latter's tent, found him sound asleep,
perhaps little the worse for night
tarrying over the flowing bowl.
The officer was tall, and the cot was
short, so that his feet stuck out at the
foot Of tho bed.
Instead Of waking him the visitor
took the spurs from a pair of boots
standing by the bedside, strapped them
to the sleeper's ankles and went away.
The officer had pretty well lacerated
himself about the shins ard ankles be-
fore he woke up and instantly yelled to
his orderly.
"What do you mean by this," be
screamed to the latter, pointing to his
feet. which were SCARED and bleeding.
The orderly looked at the spurs in

pened in .at his Office ON the morning Of

surrounded by his usual hopeless litter
of letters and papers.

editor.

up today, aren't you?"
"No, SIR" was the reply. "That job

And he cleared away a space on his
