American war and was sent to Jeffer-
son Barracks. He was strolling through
the company streets smoking a cigar
when an officer approached. King sa-
luted.

you know better than TO salute an Of
ticer when you have a cigar in your
mouth? How long have you been
here?"
'FThree days" replied King.
"You are excused this time" said the
officer. but don't let me catch you do
ing that again."
In short time King met the same
officer and walked by without saluting.
"Why didn't youasalute?" demanded
the officer, stopping him.
"Well. you just told me not to salute
when ! had cigar in my mouth" re-
piled the raw recruit.
But he spent three days in the kitch-
