Show A Tale of Two Shirts. A discharged soldier, lately returned re-turned from the Philippines, tells a tale of a shirt which is too good to bo lost. His company was returning, from a long and tiresome scouting trip, in which most of the men had parted with the greater part of their wearing apparel, when he saw on a clothes-line in the grounds of a residence resi-dence adjoining a big stone church two very good shirts, hung out to dry. As he had at the time only half a shirt to his back, he proceeded to help himself to a whole one. Whereupon a woman came out of the house and said to him, in passable English: "You will pay for that on the Judgment Judg-ment day." "Madam," he replied, "it you give such long credit, I will take both shirts," which he proceeded to do. The Argonaut |
