A Colonel Fond of His Top.—
Col. B. was fond of his bottle and its
contents. In other words, he put out
of sight all the whisky that he could
lay his hands on. One night, when
acting as brigadier officer of the day,
he vistod the pickets and found that
one of the men did not salute him
with as much military display as the
Colonel desired, so he thought he would
teach the man proper respect.
The Colonel dismounted.
"Give me your gun," he said.
''Mount my horse and ride off a little
way, and, then approach me as though
you were visiting the pickets."
The soldier did as he was directed.
He mounted the Colonel's horse and
rode off ; but instead of returning to
the picket line, he found his way to

In the meantime the Colonel paced

the sentry; but finding that he did
not come, he called for a corporal of
the guard, explained matters, and

The first thing he looked for was

empty. Hardly had ha recovered
his astonishment, when he heard snor

the soldier whom he relieved at bis
post.
" HaHo V roared the Colonel, "who
in the devil's name are you ?"
"Colonel B," was the answer, as
the sleeping soldier roused up.
" You scoundrel !" cried the Colon
el, " you aie drunk on my whisky."
"Well, then, how can I be Col. B.
unless I am drunk V
Two days in tbe guard house was
