Major Weeks’ Letter.

Came Beimonr, Cape Coiouy, Dec. 15th, 1899,

My Dear Barrietr,—I received your welcome note the other day, the first bit of news from home since | left. Here we are surrounded bv the enemy encamped at Belmont, the ecene of a bloody fight in which the British succeeded in driving the Boers from a strong position where they had possession ofthe railway here. We all have to work very bard and scarcely have time to write. Two nights ago I and my whole company were on outpost duty for 27 hours, protecting the camp from an atiack by the Boers. The line of outposts is on the kopje lately held by the Boers, aod many dead horses lie around. Many buried Boers are there, half buried with hand, head or feet sticking out of the ground and giving forth a sickening smell. it is horrible but we have to bear it as there is no means of covering them up, nothing but rocks and stones.

It is not playing the soldier now, going the arounds all night inspecting the pickeis and sentriee, carrying a loaded rifle and expectingevery moment to be fired upon.

Yesterday I was field officer, and last bight had to go the rounds inspecting all guards, pickets and patrols. I bad Lorne Stewart with me asescort. It took us nearly four hours todothe task. The heat here is excessive in the day time, and the nights are cold.

Ove often thinke of the warm fireside at |

me when lying out on the dismal ko; jes with nothing but your overcoat and rifl- tocomfort you, expecting every min» u‘e to be sttacked. Tonight I am for out- post duty again with the company. We sleep with ell our clothes on, with rifles on our arms and are up at 3a. m., in the wo: ks guarding our camp,waitiog there till 6 a.m. This is over and above the out- post werk, guarde, patrols, etc. Our men are worked very hard, and many have gone sick. Besides night work we have to im- prove our defences, unload trains, etc , and this in the heat of the day is very hard. We are now prepared to meet a reasonable number of the enemy should they come slong. Every precaution is taken against surpriee, and és this is a very important point on the line of communications, we feel our responsibility. We had an awful time of it pitching our tents here on arrival in one of the worst thunder and rain storms that has been known for many yeare. The tents would blow uown and everyone wasdrenched tothe ekin, the rifles were covered with wet and sand and teok sometime to get inorder again, I must go now, good-bye.

Yours sincerely, Wituiam A. WEEK3,

Rev. Mr. Follerten’s Letter.

Betuont Camp, Dec. 16, 1899.

My Dear Mr. Bartiett,—Your very acceptable notes to hand this mornidg. I certainly am unable to express my feelings in reply tethem. Imay say in one word that I have been very much cheered by your news. Weare sureto be back in Canada in the six months.

We are here camped on the field of the battle fought while we were on the Sardin- ian, eo that [ ean give you ne figures as to casualties; but there are evidences abund- ant and fearfully eer of the com plete stampede ef the Boere. They must bave been in a tremendous rush when they simply threw stones over their dead, and even of these not enough to cover the bier.

There are thousands of empty cartridge cases and numerous dead horses. There are old eaddies, Martini<Henri and Mauser rifles strewn over the field. I am sorrv most of them are ro eumbersome, but I shall bring you some of the empty Beer cartridges as mem¢ntoes of the great fight.

During this whole week Spytfontein bas been fought with results which I fear will not be fittingly compensated for by way of victory. That Methuen blunder- ei in permitting the Highland Brigade to be led into ambush is admitted on all baacds. Just imagine, seven officers left inthe Black Watch, while the Gordons and Seaforths are not much better!

We cannot getthe casualties although we are camped only 24 miles from the scene of action. Six trains however have gone down past here, and we ourselves computt the number at 800. In point of fact is has been another Balaclava in aj] save re~ sults, We have just beard that the Boers

“Temmy” is doing well in upholding ; the honor and glory of the British arms, | but he is fighting an adroit and insidious oe. Allthis you will know before us, as we get no papers and gatber our informa ion from such of the wounded as can epeak,

The BR. C, R. is still fit and eager, and no doubts wall give a good account of them- elves when opportunity offers,

Of ail the couatries in the world I think 1coe can be more barren than the great Caroo, which extends from Cape Town to Kimberley It i+ called Karoo because artunied prickly shrub on which sheep

aaigoatscau sub-ist. In other parts there

y ihe e sponding grass veldt. Here be weal ris tearfully botand the water ery scarce, Lue bealth of the camp,

however, is very good. The formation of ithe couvtry from Table Mountain in Oape Colony right vorth preserves a rigid mono- tony of kopje ard plain, the kopje being in all cares the fightiog ground of the Boers. Thev +eem volcanic, and consist of granite boulders of varying size, behind which the Boers can c« mpletely hide and fier away atthe aitackiny orce. In one of these cranmies there were found 130 used Martini Henri cartridges. Think of the

execution by a good sht. The Ie landers bave good health and are in great spirits, Weeks’ ccmpapy Jost a

young fellow of excellent character named Chappell. He came from New Bruns- wick, and evidently died from blood poiscning caused by sleeping near some fungi in camp.

Weeks is well and doing well. Of

course camp life has‘a side that is not serious. Let me give you aa illustra- ilon.

French-Canadian who comes there ?” Officer—"Friend.”’ French Canadian—‘‘ Advanee one and give the countersign,Niagara.” Of course the officer advances. ; Tbe men are e@ oright, happy,intelligent | let of fellows and we have our vivacious | parley vous, who, when occasion offers render things pretty lively. What wonld you say of a French picket who ‘could notunderstand English? Weeks | encountered one the other night aud bas | blessed him ever since because ise sent | hima mile too far for bis midzight in- | Spection as field cfficer. Weeks is many~ | sided with various eccomylisbments, but }rwehigg the Quebec patoi is not one of | them. Il am scratching this with a bad foun- tain pen which some one picked up in the camp, but yon will beable to make it 'out. While I write Weeks is enjoying a pipe aad the Torouts Globe. Now, my friend, I shall not attempt to thank you for all your kindness. It may be that I shall preach to vou occe more, when I doff i the insignia of war in the form of kheki clothes, putteee, aud bob-nailed, equare- toed heathenish looking boots,and don the black Geneva gown, tne insignia of war and peace in unison, for alas, it is too true that one cavnot bea Presbyterian minis. ter unless he can fight.

SAVE THE BABY!

A mother will risk her own life many times over, to save her babe Sfrom the horrors of hy-

fe eh drophobia. There are aS iy » NEA

graver perils from which

a mother should protect her child. A mad dog is a rarity, but thousands of children die daily be- cause of the seeds of disease implanted in A their litth bodies be- m fore birth. —

’ A woman may in- sure the kealth of her babe if she m sees toit that she is thoroughly r strong and a healthy in a wo- * manly way dur- ing the period of gestation. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures all weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs that sustain the burden of maternity. It makes them strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It banishes the squeamish spells of the expectant period and makes baby’s introduction to the world easy and nearly painless. It rids maternit of peril.

Over 90,000 women have testified to the benefits derived from this marvelous medicine. It does away with the ratgyeen g for the em- barrassing examinations and local treat- ment upon which most physicians insist.

Fool and His Money.

It chal ] te and the spendthrift took ship ft ‘ther.

Eu ‘ bought much wipe and long at the gaming table,

“The fool and his money soon part!” sighed the miser. |

Presently a storm rose, and the ship foundered, and they were all cast into tie water, and the miser, having his | gold in a belt about bis waist, sank to the bottom,

“The fool and his money,” observed the spendthrift sadly, for he was a generous soul, “don’t always part!’

After that the spendthrift swam toa raft, where he starved to death.—De- troit Journal.

A Golf Outrage.

The Earl of Wemyss was on a Fife golf course not long ago, accompanied by an old caddie. His lordship got his ball on one occasion so near the hole that to play it was, as it appeared to him, superfluous. So he simply tip- ped it in with the toe of his boot.

The caddie revolted instanter, threw down the clubs and looked horrified. When he found words to speak, it was to say, “Hang it, me lord, gowf’s gowf!”
