Because they are bad and won't ex-

"All bOsh. tell you, sir; you don't catch
me with such silly stuff. This very even
ing you shall be tried by cOurt-martial.
The captain then took a shell out of the
heap. lighting the fuse, and holding the
smoking projectile in his hand he sa-
luted his superior officer, saying: See
for YOURSELF" PaskievitCh, without vino

see whether the shell would burst or the
fuse go out When the match had gone
out the captain threw the shell on the
ground, and the general, muttering 10
himself, "He is right" rushed off TO the
scene of action to take some other meas
