cantonment raIk.

A battery on parade was being In
Epected by the sergeant major. In the
center of g wagon driver in tub"
had a haversack, which was none too
clean. The following dialogue took
place:
Sergeant Major-"Out of cells again,
Brown"
Brownies, sir"
Sergeant Major-"That's very dir
ty haversack you have got"
Brownies, sir. I only got 1t from
the stores yesterday, and have not had
time to wash It,"
Sergeant Major-"Get 1t washed i'm
medlately after parade and show It to
me-"
Just then the commanding officer
came on parade and the sergeant ma
jor called the battery to attention.
The commanding officer, riding along,
followed by the sergeant major came
up to Driver Brown (who was of a
dark cOmplexion).
Commanding Oficer-"Have you had
wash this morning, Brown"
Driver BrOwn-"Yes, sir"
Commanding officer turning to the
sergeanD-"Do you think he has
washed his face this morning sergeant
MAORI"
The sergeant major, not having
caught all the sentence, and thinking
the commanding officer was referring
to the naversack, blurted out: 'No
sir, 1t is an entirely new one; he only
got It out Of stores last night"
