The Wants of the ARMY.

The duke of Connaught is telling an
amusing story of his recent
visit of inspection to Egypt.
While he was in Cairo he
went for a stroll one morning, and
on his way back to his quarters he
came face to face with an old English
man wearing the ribbon of the Indian
mutiny or his breast. The duke
stopped and spoke to the man about
his military service for some little
time.
Presently the man said, not knowing
Of course, to whom he was speaking:
Are you in the army yourself, then.

The duke smiled and admitted that
he was

question.
The duke smiled again and said that
he had not very much to grumble at
on the whole, though perhaps he was
not doing quite SO we'll as he could
wish.

would come to the ears of Mr.. Taft.

the assertion.
