Misunderstood Kitchener's Sarcasm.
A rather amusing story comes to us says " The Empire," from the front. Lord Kifrhener was sitting in his tent in the middle of the Headquarters Staff writing at a «m»U table when a
i horseman galloped by, nearly upi setting the Chief, and scattering the ■ staffin all directions. " Hi ! " shouted i Lord Kitchener to his aide-de-camp, I "if that isn't a duke or one of the . Imperial Yeomanry, tell him to stop." l The sarcasm was taken literally, and ; as the offender happened to be one of I the Yeomanry, he escaped the welldeserved reprimand.
