A RUsE THAT FAILED.
Soldier Fooled in His Efforts to Escape
Church Services.

Capt Wheeler of the British army
relates a story of that class of soldier
commonly called the company law
yer" the man who is never quite sure
whether he is being punished accord
ing to regulations. One of these men,
he says, went into musketry camp and
on Saturday evening informed the col
or-sergeant that he could not be made
TO attend the church service because
he was a Wesleyan. He fully counted
on spending the morning in slumber
but he had met his match in the cap
tain. The camp was about thirteen
miles from cantOnments, so the com
pany lawyer was marched in under a
staIwart corporal TO the Wesleyan
place of worship and marched out
again the same evening, the rest of the
company receiving him with ironicaI
cheers. The next Sunday he wanted
to attend church service. "Oh, no"
said the captain, your convictions
were so strong last week that they
must be respected" And again the

back rides with the President after

chief executive Will hardly admit of
the briefest hunting expedition into
Virginia.
