Show Her Revenge. This comes from one of tho Twenty-fourth Twenty-fourth Corps: "One night a crowd of offlcera top ped at tho humblo homo of an old lady down In Georgia and asked that thoy bo supplied with something to eat, at tho samo tlmo stating that sho would bo paid for her trouble. "Tho old soul busied herself over tho frying pans nnd skillets, whllo the officers discussed army matters, of course, addressing each other by prop, or titles. Finally tho old lady began to throw bread out to her dogs, calling them 'Captain,' 'Major,' 'Colonel,' 'General,' 'Gen-eral,' etc. "Sick of such business, one of tho officers turned to her and asked to know why sho bestowed such military titles on her dogs. "Mllertery titles! Any mangy old cur can have slch tltlements these days. "Tho officers said no moro, but ate their grub and departed." Washington Washing-ton Times. |
