THE FIGHTING GURKHAS.

eomething About the Men Who Win Some
of E~ngland's Battles.
The Gurkhas, to whose valor we owe
% much on the Indian frontier, are not
afraid of death in any shape or form,
have the instinct of instant and unques-
tioning obedience to orders from supe~
riors and take an actual and physical
delight in fighting. 1t is a popular error
TO suppose that they are without caste.
There are about 13 different castles
among them and several subdivisions ia
sach caste. but when serving in British
regiments and while on a campaign
Gurkhas do not allow their caste sys-
tenn to interfere with their comforts and
will eat and drink freely with Euro
peans and among themselves. They have
no objection TO taking a pull at a Brit
ish soldiers flask and will share a
'chapati" with the most mental camp
follower. They will gladly take a cigar
or tobacco from a European. but on no
account must a man Of 4 caste smoke
ia the company Of another.
All GurkhGs trace their descent from
the Rajputs Of central India, the Thap-
pas and GuruDgs especially claiming to
have the bluest Hindoo blood in India
running in their veins. They have,
however. intermarried for generations
with Mongolian women. One would
imagine therefore that in process Of
time a distinctly new type, combining
the leading characteristic of both races,
would have been evolved, but as a mat
ter Of fact the vast majority Of Gurkhas
are either Aryan or Chinese in their
cast of countenance. Europeans general.
~ suppose that all Gurkhas are squat
men, with broad nostrils, high cheek
bones and deep set, narrow eyes. This
is not the case. The Second Gurkhas
regiment has large numbers of Gurungs
and Thappas in its ranks who are of q
slight build, with beautifully chiseled
and sharp features, Aryans every inch
Gurkhas have II physical peculiar
ity-their stature is below the aver
age. AS they do not wear boards and
their mustaches, in spite1f much care,
never attain a luxuriant growth, to
a casual observer u Gurkha regiment
appears to consist of boys, not men. 1t
is on record that when Lord Roberts
was marching through the Kurram the
Pathan women and children came out
to jeer at the striplings whom he was
leading, as it seemed. to their certain
death. and they only changed their
opinion when, largely owing to the
heroism of these same Gurkhas, the At
CHAN army was driven headlong from
the Peiwar Kotal.
The colonel of a distinguished regi-
ment used to tell a story Of q Pathan
who had travelled a long distance to got

The Death OF MRS. James.

Tuesday morning a telegram WAS re-
ceived here by relatives with tdines OF
the death OF Ida B. James, nee Stephen
son, at Sacramento, Cal, on Monday
night
Mrs. James was the daughter of County
Commissioner Stephenson, and wife OF
William II. James, formerly publisher OF
the Republic. Her age WAS about TWEEN.
ty-five and she leaves a little boy,
Stephen, eight years old, whose stricken
father will accompany the remains OF the
deceased for interment here later this
week.
The death of Mrs. James WAS Sudden
and touched responsive chord of deep
est grief and sympathy in the entire COM
munity, where she developed from child
hood into perfect type OF womankind.
Eleven years ago this month the
Christmas time was saddened by the de-
mise of her eldest sister, Miss Minnie, a
yonng lady universally beloved, and once
more the pail of gloom enshrouds the
home of her kindred, and what bid fair to
be the scene OF memorable and Joyous
festivtv is changed into house OF
mourning.
Idolized by her husband, her parents,
brothers and sisters, MIS-. James was,
likewise, the constant theme of praise by
her neighbors and friends With face
like Madonna, she was so quiet and
gentle in all her ways that none knew
her but to love her, and now that she
has zone from earth, her eudearinL
charm OF character becomes more pro-
nounced and appreciated, and her friends
feel sorrow tlat is akin to that when
death touches the brow OF one Of their
own household.
To her surviving relatives grief viii re-
call with loving and tremnlous accents
her traits Of goodness, her self sacrificing
devotion that was halIowed by at once u
mothers and a sisters care.
The raging tempest that rends thp
mountain pine leaves the nodding violet
all untouched. In the shelter OF this
stricken home there will soon come a
soitened sorrow that will temper their
present affection, leaving calm and
holy memory of what was, and is not.
