British Officers Who Go 20 Death in

T. W. Unger, in with 'Bobo' and
Kruger" pays the following tribute to
British soldiers:
up to this time my relations with the
British officers had been almost entirely
of a social nature | found them, with
out exception, to be the most courteous
and pleasant set of men / have ever met

seemed to me to be an exceptionally high
sense of honor, their code of which every
man appeared to live up to, also. Later

the same men in action-at close quar-
tiers. l do not care to criticise their eff
ticiency as officers, for what dement's
they have are more the fault of the sys-
TEN than of the material. But as to cour
age and bravery, the English officer has
few equals anu no superlors. Bravery,
especially in time of battle, is largely a
matter of comparison. The British Tom
where for perhaps many generations he
and his ancestors had never known the
meaning of comfort, taken on a dreary
voyage to Table bay, half baked in cat
tie cars for thousand miles across the
karroo desert, then marched in the heat
of day. sleeping chilled and wet at night,
on half rations all the time-after such
a preparation a real battle or sklrmish
with the enemy is a tremendous relief
from a terrible monotony, and requires
only a low grade of courage to urge
Tommy onward-he has so little to lose
But with the aristocratic officers the
case is quite different. They have been
in perhaps half a dozen campaigns be-
fore; there is nothing novel in the ex
perience. They have left comfortable
barracks or luxurious quarters and cluos
in London; they belong to the upper ten
thousand who have more or less of all
that man can desire. They have left be-
hind, and hope to go back to. all that's
best in life. They may lose what all the
rest of humanity are strenuousy striving
with might and main to obtain. And
they know it. And whenever they rush

HOW cHlNAMEN GAMBLE.
They Wager Their Working Years On
 Quail and Cricket Fights.
From the London Mall.

From the London Mall. One of the most common ways of bet l ting in China is with oranges. This sx x on at the fruit stalls and also in pri,4re 1 houses. The bet is on the number of seeds in an orange. Sometimes it is as to whether the number is odd or even and at others as to the exact number of seeds the orange contains. If at fruit stand the dealer will pay the lucky guesser five times his debt, but the loser must pay the value of the orange, and also five times as much as he has wagered
 Quail fighting is done on a table with A little fence around it's edge. The fighting quails have been starved for sometime. As they are put into the pen a few frains of rice or wheat are laid before them, and they at once begin to fight over them. They are trained for the purpose, and good fighter is worth f20 and upward.
 It Is the same with the crickets. Their prize rings are little bowls. The crickets have been trained. They seem to under stand their masters word. and they are urged on to the combat with straws. Some of them are very fierce and many will fight until they die. Those which chirp the most loudly are considered the best fighters.
 The Chinese understand how to feed and groom the crickets for the frav
 
 and boiled rice, and certain kinds of fish. They do not allow anyone to smoke near them, for they think that tobacco is in- furious to them. If the crickets grow sick, they feed them upon mosquitoes and red ants.
 Tn cricket fight the crickets are Weighed before they are put into the ring. 1hey are matched as to size and color The betting Is done just are care iuily as at an English horse race. The stakes are held by a committee, which deducts certain percentage for those who own the fighting houses During the night the gamblers grow excited They scream and yell and hop up and down. as one insect gets the better of the other, and go almost mad when one wins.
 The Chinese have all sorts of games but mostly games of chance. Even in kite-fying the boys and men for even the men fly htes-will try to see which has the stronest string, forcing his strings against the strings of others to break them. Tn such contests the strings are often soaked in glue and dusted with powdered glass that they may cut or saw the better.
 At every feast, moreover, there are games of guessing, upon which money is staked
 And what then, Is the result of all thls? There are labor slaves in China They have been worked within recent years in the coal mines west of Pekin. There Is a systematic scheme in that region to in- volve men in gambling debts and then take them to the coal mines and make them work them out. Once in the mines they are subject to fines and other charges which make them slaves for life. The Chinese government recently learned of this condition, and is said to have taken some steps to put stop to the abuses.
