Getting a Eurlounh.

The old excuse for obtaining leave OF
absence, proverbial among college stu
dents, was not unknown to the soldiers
of the civil war, according to Major
Hamilton's account given in the South

been issued from headquarters to the
effect that no furloughs would be
granted save on the occasion of a dealt
in the family Of the applicant. Dal-
getty, an Englishman. asked for leave
on account of the decease of his grand
mother and the request was approved.
Unfortunately for Dalgetty, the colo
mel Of the regiment met him before he
had Il chance TO get away.

tion.' said the kind officer. when did
your grandmother die?"
THANK you, colonel" replied Dalget-
ty edging away. "She was very old
and couldn't have lasted much longer"
'Ah, and when did she pass away?'
ITS quite an affection" continued
Dalgetty, still on the move. 1--WE shall
miss her."
Pernaps you are hard or nearing,
roared the colonel In voice sufficient
for a brigade front. 81 asked you
when she died"
''She's been dead forty years, SIR -
calculated Dalgetty dismally. 81 can't
lie about it, but think ought to have

The colonel had to laugh, but he sent
the soldier back to camp. A few days
later Dalgetty got bullet in his leg.
AS he was carried off the field he
shouted to his comrades, slapping his
thigh:
Thirty days leave and no death in
the family"
