STEADY.
The major was approached by a young man who had obviously been in the service just long enough to draw his uniform. The youth failed to salute, but the major overlooked it. "I say," began the youth cordially, "ever drink anything?" The major was truthful as well as kindly. He admitted that once in a while he took a small nip,, and then turned- away. "Wait a minute," said the private, "I've got some here ." This was too much for the major. "Corporal of the guard," he bawled. "1 say," protested_ the young man, "don't call your friends—there's .only enough for two."
