A few years ago very pompous
British general was making his an

regiment. Now, although he bore a
great reputation as martinez, he
had seen no active service, and was
one of those who judged soldiers
worth. by his conduct sheet
There was serving in the regiment
one Patrick O'Doherty, who had been
through three arduous campaigns, and
who was the proud possessor Of i've
war medals, including one for sdistin-

fortunately for Patrick, the piping
times of peace had reigned for about
six years, and owing to his weakness
for strong drink he was constantly In
trouble, and only that very morning
had been deprived Of his last good
conduct badge, on the usual charge OF
drunk and out Of bounds"
AS the general passed down the
ranks he was attracted by the mag
nifcent physique Of the gallant but

breast was ablaze with his hard-earned
and honorable decorations.

Explanation of Peculiar GlhberIsk
Used by Buyers Of Fruit at
Public Auction.

It's as good as a trip to the Tower
of Babel to be at the pier when a
fruit auction is in progress, says the
New York Times. In the crowd of
buyers are Greeks, Italians, Russians
Poles, and Irish, all apparently as
crazy as looms and all trying to bid at
the same time for the cargoes OF
oranges offered. Catalogues, arms
hands, hats, and walking sticks fill
the air between the shouts of the
would-be buyers.
From two to half dozen auc
tioneers have places in the pulpit, and
as many more clerks are at a desk
below them. Though the proceedings
are the craziest sort of gibberish tc
the uninitiated, the regular attendants
appear to know what it is all about
At all events carload after carload of
oranges are disposed Of without an
