LETTER PERFECT.
An Ambitious Young Soldier Who

Elmer Campbell was the greenest and most
ambitious raw recruit in Col. Hartigans reg.
inent of Tigers. The young man was the
best type of the "hay-fo straw.foot" sol.
dier in the ranks, and yet he was more anx,
ious than anyone to become an officer
He pleaded with the colonel so long that
the latter finally told him if he would secure
a book on tactics and master it he should
have the first chance to show what he could
do when there was a vacancy among the off
GERS. Campbell bought book on tactics
and stayed up late at night to learn its con
tents.

case may be), march"
That was the form of the orders in the
book. Campbell learned these by heart
parentheses and all. He even committed the
explanatory notes to memory. He was mas

began to take on a roseate hue in his eyes.
One day the colonel called the men out for
drill and told Campbell he could try his hand
at giving orders il he wished Campbell
wished" and Immediately took the posi-
ton opposite the head of his column, which
the book had told him was the proper thing
to do. Then he swelled his chest a trifle, anc
with a blush of pride called out

The column prepared to turn right as that
word was uttered, but when left as the
case may be" reached the ears of the mer

explained itself, hearty laugh went al
along the line. The colonel quieted the
commotion, walked over to the recruit, anC

ears.
