Show WHAT STRUCK HIM. An inquiring lady recently asked a private soldier to tell her some of his experiences in war. Tommy, who was Irish, tried to get out of it by saying that nothing noth-ing had ever happened to him, but the lady was persistent. "Something must have happened," she declared. "Now tell me, in all your experiences in South Africa, what was it that struck you most?" "Well, ma'am," said Tommy, after some cogitation, "th' thing that sthruck me most was th' number of bullets that missed me." Blackwood's Magazine. |
