Mistook the Joints.

The following is an extract from a diary kept in Kimberlcy daring the Biege '—The first day hone w»s served out some of it was cooked for the officers' mess st the mounted camp. At the camp Colonel Peakman said : •' Gentlemen, I am sorry to say that we wf r« unable to get all our ration in beef to-day and had to take p*rfc of ib in horse-fl'sah. This which I am canritsg is beef ; the horse h at the oihsr end, and anyone who prefers ib can help himself. Nobody did prefer it, and so they all ate beef and made a good dicne-. When tbfy had finished, Colonel Peikman suddenly cxcl*imed : "By Jove ! gentlemen, I find I hsvve made a misteko in the joints ; this ia the horso - flieb, and the other is fche beef.' Io was jast a dodge of his to get them started on the horst flish. It h very fanny to ccc all the town's big swells either fetching their meafc themselves or sending a member of their family for it. Persons, lawyers, doctors, baaineßH m?n—we are all there, and it is a hnge 3oko tha,t we are nil in the same boat.
