forth the highest words of praise for the
community from one of the departments
yesterday. 1t is the business of the state
assessors to know everything about ev-
erybody in every nook and corner of the
State. During a trip to Caribou they
learned of the high esteem in which the
people of New Sweden are held. Con-
corning the people Of New Sweden, James
Plummer, secretary of the board of as
SCISSORS. said that there is not more
thrifty community anywhere in the State
BY the people of Caribou the people are
held in the highest esteem. Everywhere
their word is "a good as their bond. If a
bin is contracted and a promise is made
to pay on certain day, the dawn of that
day finds the debtor at the business place
Of the creditor. Nine times out OF ten the
bill is Paid. If circumstances have abso-
lutely prohibited getting the money then
the debtor states that he will drive down
50 many sheep or cattle or other goods.
that his creditor may get satisfaction.
While their life is simplicity itself Yet
there is that honesty in all things that

an unusual preparation is being made.
The people do not seem to understand
what the Old Home Week means, he
said. in spite Of the information that has
been given out. While many understand
that the people in other states are to re-
turn to their old home they cannot under
stand why they should not come at any

There are many famous Irish regiments
in the queens army. but only one of
which has no more than its simple toun-
ty designation. There are the Royal Dub
lin, Royal Innisldlling, Royal IRISH Fusil-
GERS; there are the Royal Irish and Royal
Irish Rifles, but there is only one Con-
naught Rangers. and great as are the
glorious traditions Of all these from first
to last, from Blenheim to Bloemfontein,
none surpasses the record of the Eighty
eighth, which has been constantly fight
ing since Seringapatam.
The Connaught Rangers were raised in
1873 in the province whose name they
bear by the Hon. Thomas de Burgh,
afterwards Earl of Clanricarde. Its ear
ly history is much that of the rest of the
army at that time. Although still of
youthful physique and imperfectly train

After Waterloo the Fourteenth went
back almost matter of course to In
Ola and gained new distinction at the siege
and capture of Bhurtpore. There are
many Bhurtpore traditions preserved in
the regiment, one referring to the same
Col Everard, mentioned above. On their
return to England some bystander refer
red to him as an Insignificant little man.

This third regiment, the Welsh, began
its life as a corps of invalids recruited
from the out pensioners of Chelsea hospi-
tai, at a time ono when soldiers we're
scarce. 1t was commanded by Col Ed
mund Fielding, and it did any duty thrown
upon it, In garrison at Portsmouth, In the
Channel islands quelling tumult, on the
English south coast as preventive officers
to check smuggling. 1t had existed forty
years before il was numbered the Forty

1881. Its lines meanwhile had been cast
chiefly in North America, In the far East
during the Burmese war, and with Mott

which It saw no more service till 1t was
engaged in Egypt in 1888. BY the cessation
of hostilities the regiment, having landed
too late, lost the chance of meeting the
Beers in the field in 1881. but it spent some
years in South Africa on the Natal side.
Now at last 1t has encountered the old
enemy in the recent invasion Of the Free
State. 1t was the intrepid charge of the
Welsh in conjunction with the Cornwalls
that carried the heights and paved the way
to the final investment of Cronje.

naughts. but II was not to take part IN
the earlier fields. for with the strange
ill-luck at sea that the regiment otten
encountered, the transports in which IL
embarked in 1905 met such a violent
storm in the Bay of Biscay that they
were driven back into Cork. They
reached Spain, however, in time to be
engaged in the battle of Talavera, where
they were brigaded under Donkfn, ana
by their steadiness in resisting Marshal
victor's fierce attack on the left did
much TO win the battle. AS time
passed they came to be included in PC
toms famous division, the Fighting
Third, and although that impetuous COM
mander often rallied at them tiercely for
their wild ways he trusted to them i'm
pIicitly in the fight. The leaders always
knew that they could trust the Con-
naughts in a charge. Picton, in leading
them to the attack on Ciudad Rodrigo,
addressed them thus: "Connaught Rang
eI-s | shall waste no powder this even
ing: wen do the job with the cold steel"
Again. at the assault on Badajos, the
Eighty-eighth were close by the Fifth
in that heroic capture of the castle, the
only success achieved. and which, in
thus gaining Badajos as Wellington told
Picton afterwards, had saved his hon.

The Eighty-eighth was in the Crimea and
battle, but from then they saw no serious
fighting till now. recently, when they were
incorporated in Fftzroy Harris Irish bril-
gade, and suffered terribly with their GAL
liant comrades in the first forcing of the
Tugela, on the day of Colenso, when they
got across at Bride drift but were I'M
able to make good their hold of the north
ern bank. They have since had ample re-
venge in the costly contest that ended in
the relief of Ladysmith.
Under the territorial scheme, second
regiment the old Ninety-fourth, was linked
to the Eeighty-eighth, under the general
name OF the "Connaught Rangers" The
Ninety fourth had the misfortune to be
the victims of Boer treachery in the first
Transvaal war, and was nearly cut to
pieces in the affair of Brunker's spruit,
where the Beers were in great strength.
They attacked without warning or the
previous declaration of war, and unex-
pectedly firing on the regiment killed a
great number of them.
Gallant little Wales has given its name
TO three distinguished regiments, but one
only was originally raised in the princi-
pality--the Twenty-tlfird or Royal Welsh
fusiliers. This splendid corps (Which from
exigencies of space could not be included
in the account of fusiliers) was formed,
with eleven others, by desire of William
III, to aid in the campaign in Ireland
against James IL, and was first named
Herberts, from fits colonel a relative of
Lord Herbert, who raised it in Wales and
the counties adjoining. After serving in
