Advertiser) An officer of the late civil war was given command of some raw recruits. After some preparatory drill ho marched them for the first time down several blocks of the city in which they were stationed. Suddenly trom the ranks rang out a loud “Halt 1” In obedience to the command the men wavered and came to a full stop. “Who gave that order ?” thun dered the enraged officer. “Potts, sir! Potts!” a dozen voices called. Every eye was turned on the offending Potts. “What did you mean, sir, by giving that order ?” demanded the captain. “Well, sir,” said Private Potts, “I’ve been trying for two blocks to get this company to keep step with me and they wouldn’t do it, so I stopped them to begin all over again.” 111 hjiu<‘*lor 8uiumt.
