King Peterjobngeorgejaekovitch —"What is that noise outside the palace walls?" Lieut. Stanbywithaclubski—'"Tis the army, your majesty.'
Tbe king—"Tell 'em I quit. Show 'em that excursion ticket back to Paris. All I want is my salary up to date, and I'm not so terribly particular about that. Hold the big end of tbe megaphone out of the window while I shout, 'Long live the army.' " The lieutenant—"But 'tis the Salvation
Army, your majesty."
The king—"Revoke their license for holding street meetings. I am king here, and I intend to rule with a firm hand. But the next time you have to communicate anything to me in regard to the Salvation Army put the accent on the first word and not on 'army.' I am just a bit nervous."
