His Many Duties.

When young Farmer Giles left the
happy homestead and plowed fields to
Join the army there was not u prouder
man in the land. The first time he
was doing n sentry.go the officer Of
the guard came by and called upon
him TO give up his orders.
"Orders :" shouted Giles. "Give up
my orders?"
"Yes. certainly. What are you here
for?" demanded the officer, sharply.
"Oh, I'm here to walk up and down,
stand nj attention, wink at the girls,
look after Sergeant Murphy's bit OF
garden and see that nobody plnches
his spades; also 10 sec you aim about
when they fetch tho beer for the

But the officer had completely col-
