DUTY or PICKET DURING WAR
ly With Bothersome Countersign-
One Gives Up Rifle.

II 49, Little Fifer's War Diary" q.
w. Bardeen relates many an incident
that has not before seen light Among
these are some relating to picket duty
and the rendering of the bothersome
countersign which are truly remark
able. For instead of possessing at
least some faint particle OF the sol
dierly instinct, many Of the younger
recruits, II would seem, were OF a
strikingly civilian frame Of mind, and
this can b. no more said OF one army
than OF the other.
This ~ characteristic account:
One recruit challenged. who goes
there?" @The Grand Rounds" IT.
stead OF saying, "Halt, Grand Rounds.
Advance, sergeant, and give the coun-
tersign," the recruit exclaimed in dis
gust, 20, -, I thought it was the
relief"
A general testing the sentries came
upon young recruit who halted him
with:
stop! Have you the countersign?'
NO." replied the general.
What, another one without it," ex-
claimed the sentry in disgust We'll,
I'll tell you; it's Victory"
The general gasped for breath.
What do you mean by giving anyone

the countersign?" he at last roared
out. I'm the general and TIL have
you hanged"
The sentry was amazed. why, my
orders were not to let anyone pass
without the countersign," he ex
claimed. Let me tell you, I'm tired
Of giving 1t. Such a lot don't seem
to know it,"
Words Of this sort might be occa'
sionally heard:
Who comes there?"
O. friend"
Advance, friend, and give the coun.
tersign.''
Hang it, man, T have forgotten 1t"
"Begorra, so have l."
One officer, approaching a sentry,
was surprised to be greeted with 'fHi-
tiddle-de-hi-ti."
What do you mean by challenging
like that?" he inquired. "The last
time was on duty" was the reply,
ct was told to challenge in a more mu-
steal voice, and that's the only tune
] know"
On the trOOpship 1t. Lawrence i'm
1866 an officer who had just got UP
from convivial party proceeded to
visit the sentries, and this dialogue
was overheard:
Sentry"
Eyes, sir"
you're asleep, sentry"
"Oh, no, am not, sir"
"But / say you are asleep, sentry"
very well, then, sir; am"
Then why on earth didn't you say
you were asleep, sentry?"
Because 7 didn't know that was,
sir, until you told me So"
"All right, sentry; don't let it oc,
cur again"
But that was British story, and
the following has more Of the ring Of
our war.
10 test a sentry an officer after the
salute said:
LET me see your rifle" The recruit
handed it over, whereupon the officer
said in disgust, You're fine soldier!
You've given up your rife and now
what are you going to do?" The
young fellow drew out a dangerous
knife and exclaimed, Give me that
rifle or III cut your heart out!''
The officer was more than con-
WINGED that he would, and hastily
handed the weapon back.
