understand ene or the men’s remarks, ~ it wasa slightly wounded Australian, who was going from near Belmont back io Cape Town to the hospital, and he «aid : “T would not give 20 acres of our place for the whole of South Africa.’

Bat they are fighting in the dryet ugliest part ofthe couatry. It is cailed Karoo Veldt, sandy deserts, no trees, scarcely any water, and,just at this time of intense. Then vearer there ie an innumerable number of small hills or “kopies”. Oh we are so thankful for the relief of Kim~ berley was surrounded forfour monthe, and the poor people underwent many hardships. To-day we saw a train-load of cattle and coals going to that town.

Yes, Isaw by the paper there was another Canadian contingent coming. I am ashamed of having been bora in the Cape Colony, because there are 30 many traitors in the land, and the innocent have to bear the disgrace with the guilty. But this war seems to have united the people more closely, The Progressives are more helpful to each other,and do all they can for the furtherance of right in the land.

Ab! how sadly you must miss your dear brother; and he is quite rigbt, he is fight- ing in @ good cause ; to put down Oppres- si_n and cruelty.

Iam getting old;I am tae eldest of the family ao. itis bard to. think of my brothers being killed in the prime of

their lives, and thatin the wrong cause. God knows best; He has them in His keeping. 1 will trust His loying kindness; perhaps we may meet On earth again.

Forgive me for writing so much of self and family matters; but I just-feel that you would lixe to kuow something of your corresponde.t.

We heard tnat the Canadians were faplendid marksmen. * * © Your brother Fred wrote me a short time azv, tuaukiag me for writing his mother and fora box ot fruit we sentbim. He said it arrived in fair condition and was mach eojoyel bv himself and the boys in his tent—ten io number, I know you will not think anything I have said is in self praise, I feel such an elder sisterly interest in them all, and wonld be only toothankful if some one would doa friendly act formy brothers even if ever 80 small.

Tomorrow my sister and I are going to pack a little box for your brother and his nine chums. There is to be for each one @ pair of socks, @ handkerchief, a towe! and acake of carbolic soap.

We hall no doubt hearlacer. There is very little of interest published in our papers, the military cenaor being very strict as to what passes through le-t anything detrimental to our cause should be carried to the Boers.

Have vou seen Rudyard Kipling’s poem, The Absent- Minded Beggar. It is very good, and hes brought in over £65,000. This money is used oO provide comforts for convelesecents going home, also for the families of those who are not well off. If you have not seen it, I will send you a copy. But Ithtak youare almost certain (to bave it aud will know all about “ the ‘gentleman ia khaki going sout..”

Now I must , ut up this very lo: ngepis le the mail does not clo-e till Tuerday night end I may ye:haps add some more.

Oxve never real zes the awful horrors of wer tll bronght+o near yourown door, and we will never krow the terrible atraits the loyal farmers and their families on the borders bave been putto. Every bridge and culvert oo our long railway line has to be guarded by soldiers that keeps 10,000 from the front. Con tinua'ly the bond party are trying to loosen bolie, to put dynamite on the rails, aad other diabolical tricke.

One day among the list of killed we saw the name of Corporal Sinclair, a young cousin of ours, aod we were feeling very ead, for the giief of his parents That night we went to an ambulance train with refreshments for the poor in- valids and who should we find among the staff of assistants but Corporal Sinclair, He is in the medical corps, and this young man wasin Brabani’s Horse. So come other poor mother’s heart would be mourp- ing for her boy * °* *

papers to show that Germany’s interests lie with Ruésia and France against Kag-

land are attracting some attention.

The Kreuz Zeiturg quetes an ariicle by Prioce Trubetzkey showing that the Franco-Russian alliance does not now heave a@ threatening character, but that England is threatening the peace of the world and that Germany, seeking a new weapon in her augmented fleet, needs an ally in order to enable her to withstand British pressure. The Kreuz Zeitung treats this sympathetically, but asks some guarantee that the Russian government would follow a policy friendly to Germany upon the next explosion of French Chau- vanism.
