HOW THE BOERS GET FIGHT- ERS

| A startling story has been gleaned

from Russian Immigrants who recent-

ly landed in Halifax bound for Western and United States points. The intor- mation was secured from several sources and in each case the same tale was told by different persons. The story shows the vast resources of the lransvaal Government, and their eag- erness to take advantage of everything that will advance their cause against the British.

Among the immigrants who landed recently, were a number of Rus- sians, who have been connected for different lengths of time with the army of their native land. These men were splendid specimens of humanity, and it was not difficult to detect the military bearing which has attached itself to them. They came here via Amsterdam and Liverpool, and were bound to United States and western points, In conversation with an interpreter at Deep Water, the men told an experi- ence in Amsterdam which proves con- clusively that the Boer army is being stiengthened by men from the con- tinental forces. Boer agents are work- ing in the big centres particularly in Holland. The immigrant proves a good mark for the enlisting officers that Dr. Leyds has at his command. | The Russians, like many others, were | approached by a mad who worked him- self into their good graces. The military history of the immigrants was learned and those whose records were up to the mark,were asked to enlist for service in the ‘Transvaal. Money seemed to be no object for a cash bonus of 200 rubles was offered 1n each case. Each ex-soldier was given s8 chance, and a number accepted. Others among them those who came to Halifax refused to take up arms, In addition to the bonus the men were promised passage to the Transvaal, but no mention of the route was made. Recruits were also assured that they would receive good pay. All that wa. required was good physique, and a knowledge of the use of arms.—Hali- fax Herald.

“YOU ARE FIGHTING EUROPE.’

The London Post despatch contains the following incident to the reports already cabled regarding the fighting at Vaal Krant. Seven armed Kaffirs were found fighting. One of ther killed an officer of the Durham Regi-- ment. This has been absolutely authenticated.

A Maxim-Vickers gun that had been abandoned by the enemy in a dongs was about to fal! into the hands of the British, when the notorious ruffian, the fearless Commandant Viljoen himself brought back a team of horses and he escaped with the gun, threading his way between the red flashes and black clouds caused by the lyddite shells which the artillery had concentrated on him. It was a splendid feat at arms.

Gen Hildyard by night continually fortified himself with the most skill, building traverses and head covers. Consequently he lost only 41 men, though exposed to a terrible shell fire throughout Feb. 7. In twelve minutes 64 shells exploded on the hill. Two hundred and forty shells were counted in two hours, and in addition to these there was a steady fire from innumer-~ able Maxim-Vickers guns. Prince Christian was knocked down by the concussion of a hundred pound shell, which burst against a rock near which he was sitting.

A Boer prisoner anmitted that the enemy had sustained heavy loss- He declared their unfaltered determinatior to resist the British tothe uttermost. He said: “You are not fighting the Boers ; theywould soon have given in. You are fighting Europe.

A CHANCE FOR THE V. C.

Lieut. de Crespigny is the hero of a dashing exploit, which will very likely win him the V. C. On thergth of Jan- uary he was reconnoitering north of Colesberg. Twe troopers were sent uphill preparatory to the troops advanc- ing. They were fired on by the enemy. One man’s horse bolted with its rider ; the horse of the other was shot. Lieut. de Crespigny borrowed a horse, his own having already twice wounded, and went to the assistance of the man whose horse was shot. His borrowed horse was also shot, but the Lieutenant and the man were both assisted by an- other trooper. Lieut. de Crespigny then returned for the man whose horse he had borrowed,

The Polite Policeman,

It was crowded on the avenue, and there was a constant stream of vehi- cles coming and going. At the crossing of two of the most congested streets stood a police officer, tall and com- manding, irreproachably dressed and 2 with an eye that compelled obedience. When the tide of travel surged thick: est, a little old lady came to the curb and looked out into the impassable stream of carriages and wagons. Evi- dently she wanted to get across. The gallantry of the big policeman took possession of him. He approached her and held up his hand.

“Don’t be afraid. I'l see that you get across safely,” he said.

The old lady shook her head nerv- ously and seemed more undecided than ever. The policeman came nearer. Taking her arm, he started to lead her across, stopping the steady stream of passersby in wagons and carts. The old lady hung back, protesting. When the slow way to the other side of the street had been made, the officer re- leased her arm. She looked at him in a dazed way and said with some sharp- ness: “What on earth did you want to drag me across that road for? I had an errand to do on the other side.”— Detroit Free Press.

The Artist’s Hoodoo.

“Artists are a queer lot,” remarked one of them yesterday as he smoked pensively in his Chestnut street studio and gazed dejectedly at a half finished sketch. “I can’t do any work today just because I dreamed of a redheaded girl last night. That lets me out. 1 can dream of any other kind of girl and it doesn’t affect my work, but if the vision of my dreams has red hair I’m ne good the next day.

“No, it’s not superstition. I don’t know what itis. All artists have their off days from some cause or other, and some of them have antidotes. I have none. I just give up when the red- headed girl comes across the path of my dreams.

“A friend of mine counteracts the ef- fect of his hoodoo by clothing himself in an outlandish way. I have seen him working in an opera hat, the coat of bis dress suit and a pair of pink pyja- mas, and doing good work at that. An- other friend of mine always eats a lot of raw onions when he has a particu- larly sentimental subject to handle. But when it comes to me I just have toe give up.”

Dear Sire,—I was for seven years a enfferer from Bronchial Trouble, and wou!d be 80 hoarse at times that I ceuld ecarcely speak above a whisper. I got no relief from anything until I tried your MINARD’S HONEY BALSAM. Two botiles gave relief and six botiles made a complete cure. I would heartily recem-~ mead itto anyone suffering from throat or lung trouble.

Two Rallroad Passes.

When its limited express trains were

put on some years ago, the Lake Shore Railway company decided to charge extra for the privilege of riding on them, and Joha Newell, who was pres- ident of the system at that time, gave orders that passes, half rate tickets, etec., should not be honored on the “fil-

ers.” It was not intended, of course, ; that the complimentaries issued to high oflicials of other roads should be void on the fast trains, but through an over-

| sight a yearly pass was sent to D. W.

' Caldwell, president of the Nickel Vlate,

which bore on its face the words:

“Not good on Lake Shore limited trains.”

A few days after Mr. Caldwell’s pass had been issued Mr.

an annual pass on the Nickel Plate with the following indorsement: “Not good on passenger trains.”

Messrs. Newell and Caldwell rem2'% ed consistent enemies until the fori, died and was succeeded by the la'@ as president of the Lake Shore. ~ cago Times-Herald.

Somewhat Mixed. A gentleman from a_ neighboring

town in Mississippi told the following |

last night: “I walked into a small store the oth: er day and found the proprietor lying on the counter just dozing off into a sleep. He roused himself on my ap- proach, and, jumping to the floor, quoted the familiar line: “*A horse! A horse! for a horse!’ “*Where did you get that?’ I asked. “Oh, don’t you know? That’s what Absalom said when his horse ran un- der the tree and left him hanging by the hair to a limle I thought every- body knew where that came from.’ ’”’— Memphis Scimitar.

Saving a Husband's Life.

Only the other day the newspapers told the story of a plucky woman ..who saved her hus- ™-band from drown-

ing on the rock bound Atlantic , coast. There are

. other dangers be- side that of drown- ing from which a shrewd woman

may, by a little diplomacy, save her hus- band. Men are proverbially reckless about their health. They do not think it worth while to pay any heed to a slight indiges- tion, a trifling bilious attack, a little nerv- ousness or sleeplessness, or a small loss of appetite. The first they know they have dyspepsia, liver complaint, malaria, rheu- matism, nervous prostration or deadly con- sumption. Even then they are prone to neglect their trouble until it is too late.

A wise wife will assume guardianship of her husband’s health. She will always have at hand a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. When her husband feels out of sorts she will see that he takes it. It makes the appetite keen, the diges- tion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and the nerves steady. It builds firm flesh, strong muscles, and healthy nerve tissues. It cures dyspepsia, liver conrplaint, malaria, rheumatism and nervous prostration. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consump- tion. An honest dealer will always give you what you ask for.

“*T was a sufferer from malaria,’’ writes Mr. R. D. Hill, of Zanto, Louisa Co., Va. ‘ Two doctors failed to cure me. I took three bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery in connection with his ‘ Pleasant Pellets,’ and was cured. I can now do as good a day's work as any man.”’

Constipation often causes sickness. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. One little ‘‘ Pellet’’ isa gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic. They never gripe. They are tiny, sugar-coated, anti -bilious granules, in little vials. Druggists sell them and have nothing else ‘‘just as good.’’ They regulate the Stomach, lives and Bowels.
