Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Army Mule and Other War Sketches
He is not a typical old soldier, and must not be so classified. He is an exception. When tests are to be applied he can always prove an alibi. His mouth was put on soft and spread; the ?ush on his nose was ac quired at a great expenditure of time and money. He comes to the front in his com munity, sage of the ?annel lip and velvet eye, in accordance with a known law that not al ways the ablest men are heard, but always the ablest to be heard. He comes to the front with the persistence of a pardoned an archist, and the ?awless joy of a yearling who has maxed in math.
