rnE BOEa WOMEN ~ WAR.


The New York World has been
publishing pictures and sketches of
the Boer women fighting in the
trenches, with their husbands,
brothers and sweelhcarts, and How
ard c. Hillegas, the famous war
correspondent of the World, who
has been in South Africa during
the present war, says that there
were one thousand Boer women
with the troops that beseiged Lady
smith, and that they can shoot
almost as well as the men. Each
woman carries Mauser rifle with a
bapdolier strapped around her body
full Of cartridges
AT Spion Kop, fourteen Boers
with their wives. held an iu,rcnch-
men, that was charged by a com.
parry of British soldiers tili every
one Of them were killed, and after
the battle the fourteen men and
fourteen women were found dead
on the battlefield.
Every boy big enough to carry
gun is in the army and England
should blush with shame to be max
ing war on such brave people and
their women and children.
Webster DAVIS, late of McKin
ley's Cabinet, tells of seeing a Boer
bridal couple shoulder their guns
and start for the front to fight the
common enemy for a bridal tour
and spend their honeymoon on the
battlefield.
