Unenviable Experience of q Gordon
Highlander in q Fight
with Beers.

A private soldier in the Second bat
talon, Gordon Highlanders, recounts
an experience in the following letter,
indicating that the Workmanship of
some of the Beers at least is better
than has been alleged:
I'VE, the Devons, Imperial Light
Horse and others, had a fight at Eland-
slaagte with the Beers, and never en-
aJoyed myself SO much before. You
first have to get christened to fire, and
then you think nothing of the shells
bursting about you, and the bullets
which go whistling past like bees.
I'VE went forward by so yard rushes,
and at every rush you could hear
groan, and down would go one of our
comrades, either killed or wounded.
POOR chap!
When we were miles from the enc
my they opened fire on us with shell.
and as we were going along in mass
one of the shells burst on the left of
the company and one of our men of
my section = Bobby Hall - got shot
dead with piece of the shell going
straight through his head. That was
what made more than one wish TO
turn and run. But what would Britain
do If her soldiers ran from the enemy?
AT last we got to where we could
get shot at the Beers with our rifles.
and you may bet We gave them more
than one, as, perhaps, the papers have
told you. 80

WHAT A FORMER AMERICAN
SAYS.
More Than Doubled Their

The following letter written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, AL
berta, Canada, formerly of Washing
ton, to friend in the United States is
only one of q hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done to-day by any
good, sober and industrious farmer who
chooses to make his home in the Do
minion.
Dear Sir:
You want to know how I got along
since I came into Northern Alberta. I
am happy to inform you that / am not
ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Farmington, Wash

We had time to build our log house
the first fall and to make us comfort

we could put everything inside them
when the cold got down to the fifties,
and worked hard getting up the stable
and got through clubbing on the LIST
December. but to our surprise we had
no use for the stables only for the milk
cow and two span Of horses. The bal
ance of the horses lived on the prai.
RE all winter and took care of them
selves. The doors of two stables were
left open for them to go into in a cold
time, but they would not do it, but

night we had, and looked as spry az

them have doubled their cultivated land
and doubled their animals, and great
deal more. All Of us are comparative

crop to thresh and prospects of fair

Florida to the Klondike.
My son bought two pounds Of Irvine
to the acre, and when we started to bind
some barley, we found that instead of
taking two pounds to the acre, it was
taking nearly five pounds. Then you
ought to have seen him hitch up a team
and make for town for 100 lbs. more.
I cannot say how it will thresh. ALL
can say is that it is wei. headed, and
takes an enormous amount of Irvine.

The principle of growth in language,
as in all else is variation. And when
the early races felt that variation had
been carried far enough within the
limits of the vowel language, rich as it
was in tone and melody. a new direction
Tor growth was unconsciously sought.
1t was found by adding semiyowels to
the already existing vowels-that is. by
partially closing the lips, or bringing
the tongue near the teeth, or palate. or
throat. while the novels were being
spoken This would give words like
'xawawa or yayaya. and the like, and
so with other vowels. Let me give a
few words which still survive from this
epoch, in Polynesian. which are rich in
pure vowel words: ahi. aho, hau. hihi.
ha, hae. wa. wal. which mean fire. light.
wind. ray, breath. envy, expanse. water
