relates a good story, by the way, of smoking while on guard.

A Colonial volunteer officer, Captain Brown, in times of peace Butcher Brown, ordered a sentry found smoking to consider himself a prisoner.
"What!" exclaimed the volunteer soldier, "not smoke on sentry?
Then where the -- -- _am_ I to smoke ?" The dignified Captain only reiterated his first remark.

Then did the sentry take his pipe from his mouth and confidentially tap his officer upon the shoulder.

"Now, look here, Brown," said he, "don't go and make a -- -- fool of yourself.

If you do, I'll go elsewhere for my meat." To return.
