LETTER PERFECT.
An Ambitious Young Soldier Who
Thought He Was Born
to Command.

Elmer Campbell was the greenest and most
ambitious raw recruit in Col. Hartigan's reg.
iment of Tigers. The young man was the
best type of the "hay-foot, straw-foot" SOL
der in the ranks, and yet he was more anx.
icus than anyone to become an officer.
He pleaded with the colonel so long that
the latter finally told him if he would secure
book on tactics and master it he should
have the first chance to show what he could
do when there. was vacancy among the Off
GERS. Campbell bought book on tactics
and stayed up late at night to learn its con-
tents.
Forward, column right (or left, as the
case may beg, march" ..' ''f
That was the form of the orders in the
book. Campbell learned these by heart,
parentheses and ALL He even committed the

began to take on 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 orde:s if he. wished. Campbell

ton opposite the head of his column, which
the book had told him was the proper thing
to do. Then he swelled his chest trihe, and
with blush of pride called out:
Forward, column, right or left, as the
case may be, march,"
The column prepared to turn right as that
word was uttered, but when cleft as the
case may be- reached the ears of the men
they stood stock still. Then, as the situation
explained itself, hearty laugh went all
along the line. The colonel quieted the
commotion, walked over to the recruit, and
made few earnest remarks in Campbell's
ears.
