The boy (a colored lad) was put ting the last touches on the shoes ol a Harrisburg attorney, when a stranger mounted the seat and was "next." A few moments later, and before the last rub was given to the attorney's pedal encasements, in came a United States Army officer, who mounted Hie sent. Instead of attach ing the shoos of the "next" stranger, the hoy turned his attention to the man in uniform. The stranger po litely, reminded the boy that ho was "next," but the boy, hypnotized, per haps, by the gewgaws militaristic, stoutly Insisted the officer was "next." Had the officer acted up to the traditional conduct becoming one of his rank, lie would have declined to be served out of turn, but he did net do so. If this should happen to fall under ttie eye of the C. 0., it is to be hoped that hereafter ho will not for the sake of a petty advan tage dishonor the uniform by un gentlemanly conduct. TRAVELER.
