The terrible war in South Africa has
made us talk and read a great deal about
the British soldier. Tommy Atkins, even
when it seems unlikely, shows kindness
to the children he comes across. An in
stance of this occurred in a little incident
that happened during the Sudan cam
paign.
When a party of lancers were out rec
onnoitering they came upon a small viii
lage which had somehow been deserted
by its inhabitants, except one child which
had been left. The poor little fellow cried
as he saw the horsemen.
A lancer who was riding ahead caught
up the child and brought him safely to a
place where he was fed and taken care
Of
This recalls rather similar story told
Of some soldiers long ago. 1t was when
the English were fighting in Spain. There
had been skirmish, and afterward a
party went back to bury the dead. Some
gypsies had passed, and, having fled in
alarm, they had left a child, which the
soldiers found on the field of battle. They
took it up, but it was too young to eat
bread, so they went off to try to obtain
milk. 1t had scarcely any clothes, but
one of the men wrapped it in a soldiers
tunic. Afterward it was given into the
care of one of the women settlers, and
the boy grew up to become soldier him

was poor tinancier, and the great pub

10 Keep Young,

"There is no reason" said family doc.
tor to the writer why women should
not keep wrinkles and gray hairs at a
distance longer than most of them do.
Il consider that the chief reason why
women age more rapidly than men is
that they will not give natural vent to
their feelings. Over some slight trouble
which is perhaps inevitable they will 20
into Mysteries and tear passion to tat
ters,' to the ruin of their nervous sys-
TEN. But for the most part they cult
vate habit of concealing their feelings,
which ages them more than anything.
ut is this self repression that plays
havoc with compilations and makes age
creep over the face. And it is just the
same in nine cases out of ten of life's in
evitable troubles and annoyances. Wom-
Ell will make martyrs of themselves and
hide their feelings, whether of love or
hatred, sorrow or JOY, where a man has
the wisdom to shake them off even IL it
involves great deal of blowing off
steam and unorthodox language"
