HE HAD HAD EXPERIENCE.

Major General Otis was present
at recent gathering where a young
man who had seen some little service
in the Porto Rican skirmishes of
1898 was huttering the groundlings
with tales of horror and heroism in
that campaign, which he pictured
on scale so large that Waterloo
seemed small affair by comparison.
The young man was fond of an
audience, and seemed TO resent the
ill-concealed impotence manifested
by the General during his descrip-
tions. Finally Otis interrupted
with:
"Young man, you probably have
not heard the story Of the victim Ct

when he reached Paradise, assembled
a cloud that served within the pearly
gates as rostrum, and undertook
to thrill his newly made acqusint-
ances among the shades with an
account OF the disaster through
which he had passed. lie was in

in the group. "a mere bucketful
