that his own humiliation is severe
enough punishment without adding the

A story illustrating the red tape OF
English governmental life is related by
Arnold White in his London letter to
Harper's Weekly. An engineer officer in
the course of his duties, which involved
travelling, sent in bill which contained
charge, ''porter, sixpence." He was
told that alcoholic drinks were not to be
included in travelling allowance for
officers. He rejoined that he was not
claiming for the beverage "porter," but
for the hire of man to transport his bag
gage at station. Upon which the
sapient rejoined that ia future he should
use the word porterage. Later the off.
GER, who was wag, sent in bill which
included the item, cabbage, two shil.
lingo" The bill was promptly returned
with the statement that green vegetables
were not to be included in the travelling
allowance for officers. The officer re-
piled that he had taken a cab, and that
as when he had asked for hire of por.
ter he was instructed to call it porterage
he thought that they wanted him to cal
a cab a cabbage.
