Why men should support their wives
rs a question that Is getting a consider
tle share of attention in the public
prints. and the discussion of II brings
many curious facts TO the surface.
Among these was the story Of the
Melancholy discovery made by the
heirs Of IN old Massachusetts, former
inc years ago. His young heirs be-
ng greedy, they cndeavored to prevent
be widow from enjoying the life use
a third Of the estate To their de-
ieht they discovered that the farmer
had imposed an Illegal ceremony upon
he transporting woman. and that
therefore she was not his widow. The
case appeared 70 be a surely winning
one for them, and accordingly they
brought suit. The Judge appreciated
he sad position OF the duped old wo-
man who had done the old mans
housework for years and who was nov
threatened with loss Of home. He adj
used the defendant 10 bring suit for
services which the old man was not en-
titled to. as she was not his wife Act
ing upon his advice. the OLD woman
made out a bill at current wage rate b.
The week. for all the years she had per
formed the housework. The court al
lowed the claim which g took the en-
ire estate 10 pay, and there was con
scruently nothing whatever LEI. for

THE ARMY COMMANDERS OF THE
BRITISH ARMY IN SOUTH AT
RIGA.

THE ARMY COMMANDERS OF THE
BRITISH ARMY IN SOUTH AT
RIGA.
Field Marshal Frederick Sleigh.
Lord Roberts of Kandahar and Water
ford, V. c., entered the service OF the
East India Company-popularly called
John Company'-in 1851, joining the
Bengal Artillery branch of the COM
pany's forces. He served with great
distinction and bravery through the
indian mutiny, in the course of which
he gained the Victoria cross. and was
promoted to the rank Of major, says
Golfers Weekly. He was present at
the siege and capture of Delhi, at the
relief Of Lucknow, under Lord Clyde,
and at the operations at Cawnpore A
few years later he helped to suppress
a revolt on the northern frontier Of
India, and in 1868 went with Sir Rob
ert Napier to fight the Abyssinians.
Returning to India, Lord Roberts was
engaged in several minor campaigns
against unruly tribes. In 1913 the
Afghans became troublesome, ana
Lord Roberts, then in command OF the
Punjab frontier force, was sent to sub
due them After the heroic storming
Of the peiwar Kotal and the battle Of
Khost he advanced upon Kabul, u
avenge the murder of Sir Louis Cavag-
mari, the English envoy. Then came
the great exploit of his career, the
forced march from Kabul to Kandahar,
undertaken with the object of annull-
ing the effect Of Ayub Khan's victory
over the British at Maiwand. After the
Burmese campaign, eliminating in the
capture of Mandalay, in 1886, he was
then appointed cOmmander-in-chief OF
her majesty's forces in India. He was
to have fought the Beers after Majuba,
and actually set foot on African soil,
but was at once ordered to return, as
Mr.. Gladstone had decided for peace.
The military service Of Horatio Her
bert, Baron Kitchener of Khartoum
began twenty years later than Lord
Roberts He entered the Royal Engi-
neers in 1871, and had his first EgyD-
tian experience in the Nile Expedition
of 1884. He took part in the opera
tons about Suakim in 1888, and the
next year was given command of a
brigade of Egyptians. whom he led to
victory at Gemalzah. He was again
successful with his fellaheen on the
Soudan frontier in 1882 In 1896 Lord
Kitchener was intrusted with the man
agement of the Dongola expedition, for
the purpose of recapturing from the
Dervishes the lost province Of Dongola.
This effected, he continued on, up the
Nile, to Berber. which place he en-
tered In triumph. In the summer of
1898 he sealed his former victories and
the Khalifa's doom by the bloody bat
ties at the Atbara River and at Omdur-
man.
