One day a 111:1:1 came in, and sitting dir.vn belore a large how of soup which had just been poured out, he began to help himself. A waiter came up ami said, 'Fay before you eat." -I guess not. I always eat firsl." -Not here. Our rule is, as you see. pay first." -I doti.t pay first." said the man.

and he continued to help himself to the soup. when, to his intense astonishment, the waiter pulled out of his pocket an immense wooden syringe, and dipping the nozzle of it into the soup I10N1 1. dreNV the soup all out of the hov.1 into the syringe. -Will you pay notv'" said the waiter holding the syringe suspended over the edge of the empty bowl. 1 man concluded he would eliey the iii'-s.

Should he pass the required standard in height, we.glit and soundness, he Is ejrea tlx avs of grace in which to prove that he is worthy of the shelter of L'ncle Sam by producing letters ot This six days is also a period of probation, and a time in which he is at liberty to read the articles of war, the soldier's guide and various other literature tending to show him the vigorous laws governing the army, and what is spec urn of him should he take to tho hlue.
