SAMPLE OF BRITISH RED TAPE
An Order Issued by Major General
TO the Eject THAT There Were
No Orders

Every once i'm awhile something is
burtcd ont that tends TO Indicate a
few Of the reasons why our soldiers
cannot travel as fast as Beers. One
of the reasons, it is suggested, Is
that they are hobbled to some extent
with red tape, says the London Ex-
press.
Here is a military order which has
just come to hand. 1t shows how at
least one officer is wasting time and
stationery:
District orders by Maj. Gen. Boyce
Combe. c. h., commanding Rawal-
pindi district, Murree, Tuesday, DC
tobcr -, l9O1.-No district orders
were published yesterday, BY order
d. G. l.. Shaw. major, assistant ad-
jutaut general"
Thi, particular brand Of mind that
sccretes performances like these can
not be expected to DO much on the
field of war. Catch DeWet? The
military genius who did this couldn't
catch a cold at the north pole.
The fact that an officer quartered
in a wild island does a thing like
this does not, Of course, show that
he did not win the battle of Waterloo
or that the charge of Balaclava was
not courageous. 1t is Symptomatic
however. We can imagine the peo-
pie who issued this order trying to
put out fire or pursuing a rebel. All
the parties interested would die of
old age before the printing presses
and the pianos that they would take
with them were packed up.

then he lifted the canvas and crept
out. He had no difficulty in eluding
the pickets, nor in passing the line Of
the attacking party.
Sure" said he, "Oive important in
formation for the colonel" and they
permitted him to pass.
Up the hi,lhe went, solitary figure,
undaunted by the rifle fire. On the
skirmish line he was halted, but ouly
for an instant. He caught one gallant
rifeman under the chin. and with a
carefully directed kick sent another
rolling into the open. Invalid though
he was, he bade tair to take the posi-
ton by sheer force of his brawny
arms.
Fortunately. the colonel saw him be-
fore the entire force of skirmishers
had gone to the assistance OF their
wounded comrades.
Here, here!" he called, riding for
ward. whats all this?''
"'Tis ownly me. Bill" answered
O'Malley "'Oi'ye important informa-
ton for ye. IT'S dirty trick"
The colonel's nerves being on edge
he was exa sperated. He motioned the
others away.
Don't call me Bill" he thundered;
"call me sir. I'm the colonel of the
regiment, my man.
"Oh," said O'Malley, softly, after a
staring interval, lis thot it? Well
the information Owe brought is not
forge, then. It's sorry am, too, for
in a little whole yer enemy, the ma
ior, II be gettin' the upper hand av
We, and the fame av him as a strate-
gist and tictacter'll be tricklin'
through the regiment as beer trickles
down a dry throat, and thot's ire
sistible. The men'll never forget how
he outwitted We. Twill be talked
about at home, and certain Young
lady Dim thinkin' avn hear av it. and
It's much affected she'll be, for the
ladies', moind We, loike men thot

It's sorry Oh am, upon me loife."
The colonel glanced hurriedly
down the hill and TO the right ana
to the left, but not once to the rear.
He leaned forward, and something,
perhaps the action, caused the blood
to surge into his face.
"OMalley," he whispered, Il don't
care a cuss what you call me; only
tell me what you know"
And O'Malley told him.
1t was said afterward that the man
had been slightly touched by the sun,
which accounted for his peculiar con-
duet that day, and the statement, so
far as | Know, was never disputed.
When the major, already flushed
with triumph, was not quarter of a
mile from the colonel's position, he
was met by voliey after yoIIey of
blank cartridge shots and whole sky
fuls Of jeering yells. He was crush
ngly defeated.

ley. "av thot pompous little duck

ments of citizen soldiery are, and

corner in which "a tent had been

glow over a sign which announced

that for nominal sum she might be

not look up as Howard entered the
booth. He had vision of a small wom-
an in a gorgeous oriental gown, her
face covered with heavy veil, and a
fearfully and wonderfully constructed
hood. Extending his hand to the red
satin cushion, he settled back to hear
all about his past, present and future"

hand that took his own and brought it
to the light. where the lines might be
more closely inspected. Howard him

thrill through him. He began to wish
he had studied palmistry himself.
Finally the fair seer turned his hand
over to pay some heed to the forma-
ton of the nails. Her attention was
arrested by peculiar ring he was
wearing. She looked up quickly at his
face, her manner became agitated and
she let his hand fall to the cushion.
"What is it, suicide, fortune or
speculation. or am pursued by dark
woman? You have not yet told me q
