Simple and Sufficient Answer.

Capt. Andrew Rowan, of Atchison
Kan, made quite reputation while
serving in the Philippines, chiefly from
the common-sense and informal way in
which he performed whatever duty
came to hand. He was stationed at
post in one of the remote provinces OF
the islands. A backward season had
been disastrous to crops and the prices
of provender had gone skyward as a
result. About this time several wealthy
Chinese merchants had been arrested
for smuggling. Rowan put the Mon
gols at work. cutting grass This
brought forth a protest that finally
found it's way to the chief authorities
at Manila. In due course OF time the
following telegram reached Rowan:
why are you compelling wealthy Chi
nese merchants to cut grass?" "Re
cause grass is high" was Rowan's la,
comic esponse.-Chicago Chronicle.
