The New York Evening Post reminds re-minds us of a good story told of the late Lord Wolseley, or Sir Garnet Wol-seley Wol-seley as he then was, during the military mili-tary occupation of Egypt. Deeming it advisable, for obvious reasons, to place a guard around the harem of a local potentate, a brother officer, strolling stroll-ing into an adjacent garden, was hailed hail-ed by a sentinel. "Hi sir; you mustn't go there, sir!" Don't you see who I am?" protested the officer. "I am Colonel Col-onel Blank of the ." "Yes, sir," I know," interrupted the trooper, respectfully; re-spectfully; "but they's leddies livin' in that 'ouse, an' th' horders f'm Sir Garnet is that 'e's not to be let to go in there 'isself no matter 'ow bad he wants to." |
