AGE OF A MULE
At a course for transport officers in India one subaltern bad not paid a great deal of attention to the instruction imparted, and on tbe last day he was asked by the commandant to step forward and tell the age of a mule. The young officer opened the mule s mouth in cingerly fashion and peered inside inquiringly. Then he said with a diffident cough, " Well—er—sir, I don't know that I can give you the—er—age of this mule, but, judging by the look of his tongue. I'd say he was up very late last njght."
