ALL HIS FAULT
ONE ON THE SERGEANT
''ETC YOUR JOB TO TELL THEM"
The sergeant Avas drilling a batch of recruits, and saw that one of tliem was marching out of step. The sergeant, being one of the sarcastic sort, went up to the man and said: "Do you know they are all out of step except you?" "What?" asked the recruit innocently. "I said they arc all out of step except you," 1 repeated the sergeant, thoroughly angry now.
"Well," was the retort, "I can't do anything about it. It's your job to tell them —you're in charge."
