The Soldiers Wedding.

Among the many good stories in SIT
Evelyn Woods autobiography is one
concerning Gen. Sir Alfred Horsford,
who believed in celibate army. When
in command of battalion of the Rifle
brigade, a soldier sought his permits
sion to marry, as he had two good con-
duct badges and G5 in the savings
bank.
sWell, go away" said Sir Alfred,
"and if you come back this day year
in the same mind you shall marry. I'll
keep the vacancy"
On the anniversary the soldier re-
peated his request.
But do you really, after a year,
want to marry?"
Eyes, sir; very much"
Sergeant major, take his name
down. Yes, you may marry. l never
believed there was so much constancy
in man or woman. Right face; quick
march,"
AS the man left the room, turning
his head, he said: THANK you, sir;
but it isn't the same woman"
