ArtfuI Sergeant,

A good story is told about the smart
sergeant of a crack British cavalry
regiment Whenever he had occasion
to punish any Of his men, he invari-
ably concluded the sentence by ex-
claiming: And you are another"
Every victim noticed this strange re-
mark, but none could understand the
meaning of it, and naturally they were
afraid to ask. But one day a newly
promoted sergeant determined to
solve the mystery. He said to the SER
geant:
Sergeant, there is one thing I
should like to ask you. I've often
heard you say, after inflicting punish.
ment on a man, And you are another.
What do you really mean by that re-
mark"
Well" said the sergeant, smiling,
u will tell you. know that whenever
am obliged to punish an evil.doer
the victim always says to himself:
What stupid ass that sergeant is!
| get even with him by saying, And
you are another Keep it dark"

General Pau's Can.

A correspondent of the Associated
Press tells the following incident OF
the daily life of General Pau, the com
mander of the French army in Alsace
who lost an arm during the Franco
Prussian war.
A dozen mud-spattered French in
fantrymen rested in a drizzling rain
under some dripping trees. Suddenly
the corporal stood erect and made a
hasty salute. Through the fog and
rain one of the three great leaders OF
the French army had appeared
why do you not wear your cap?'
asked General Pau.
Il have lost my cap, general"
where did you lose it,"
when we were attacked in the
woods this morning. A branch knocked
it off, and l was too much in hurry
to go back and get it. 1t is gone"
Take my cap
The corporal hesitated. He feared
that he would be punished for losing
his cap.
Take it, tell you, and wear it,
said the general.
And the humble corporal did as he
was told, and became resplendent In
the cap with the golden oak leaves
Since that day the corporal has
marched along the country roads to
the frontier proud in the cap of Gen.
eral Pau.
The general himself told me to
wear ii" he says to those who protest
q obey the generals orders, and the
cap stays on my head"
The general knows his soldiers, and
the world may understand why the
tired, bedraggled and weary army goes
on marching, and fighting, and dying
