his part in tending the sick, giving aid
to the wounded and comforting the

No one had a greater share of danger

did he perform the duties of his Office,

rifle was sorcly needed to defend the

by going round the various posts and
distributing reserve cartridges.
a good story went round the army in
South Africa bearing on the spirit of
his professional conduct on one occa-

One Of the men, in the heat and ex-
citement Of battle, was cursing his en-

heard his words, and said:

said a young lady, according to the Chi
cago Journal, ito tell if young man
is in love with you. Yet scores of
girls, just because they do not think
manifestations of sincere regard which
must always precede a definite con-
fesson of love. f.
''Now, young man in love, or part
ly i'll love, always listens to every word
she uttcrs. This is so invariably the
rule that girl, when in company with
the young man and others, may address
some remark of little interest to no
one i'll particular, and address it in such
manner that it is impossible for it to
be heard. If the young man is more
than ordinarily fond of the girl he will
cvincc special interest in that remark,
and will not rest satisfied till he has dis
covered what it was.
Then, again, ayoupg man in love can,
when in company with several, more
readily converse with them than with
the object Of his affection. For this
reason he often appears to be far more
interested in some girl he cares little
for than the girl he loves. Some young
men also develop habit of contradict
ing statements made by the girl they
are fond Of. This seems On absurd
thing to do, but it is fact that many
love AFFAIRS take rise out OF incessant
playful quarrelings."

ed the young man with the facts relat-
ing to his domestic and commercial re-
verses, saying that he had many enc
niles and was reasonably afraid that

Gle was 32 years old and bookbinder
