AN ABBREVIATION. 



A colonel of a British regiment in South 

 Africa who was repairing a railroad after 

 one of General De Wet's many breakages 

 discovered a fine empty house, which he 

 proceeeded to occupy as headquarters. 



When the news of the colonel's com- 

 fortable quarters reached Bloemfontein he 

 received a telegram which read: 



"G. T. M. wants house." 



The colonel was unable to make out 

 what "G. T. M." meant and inquired of 

 officers, who translated it "general traffic 

 manager." 



"All right," said the colonel. "If he 

 can use hieroglyphics, so can I." 



So he wired back: 



"G. T. M. can G. T. H." 



Two days later he received a dispatch 

 from Bloemfontein ordering him to at- 

 tend a board of inquiry. On appearing in 

 due course he was asked what he meant 

 by sending such an insulting message to 

 a superior officer. 



"Insulting?" repeated the colonel inno- 

 cently. "It was nothing of the kind." 



"But what do you mean," demanded 

 his superior, "by telling me I can 'G. T. 

 H.?' " 



"It was simply an abbreviation," replied 

 the colonel — "G, T. M- (general traffic 

 manager) can get G« T- H. (get the 

 house),"
