SIKH SOLDIERS.


In recent illustrated paper is a pic
ture Of two tiny soldiers. about seven
or eight years OF age. graveIy saluting
an elderly officer. These Infants at
arms" are boy recruits holding a regu-
lar and dignified place In the Indian
army. Each Sikh regiment is allowed
twelve OF these little fellows. who are
trained almost from babyhood. They
are paid. each. three rupees and eight
annas a month. and at the age of 16
enter the regular army.
The Sikh soldiers are an Interesting
and remarkable part OF the British
army In India. Their conduct in from
tier engagements has distinguished
them as brave. steady and devoted to
their English officers, says a contribu-
tor to MacAfiIlan's Magazine.
One would not believe that fifty
years ago these well-ordcred soldiers
were fanatical savages who. in their
mad uprisings, shook the power OF
Great Britain Once conquered, they
accepted British rule. and were trained
and disciplined into weIl-eQuipped
army OF thirty thousand soldiers.
They formed part OF the force
which subdued the Mutiny. The "Hod-
sor's Horse Troops" which helped cap
ture Delhi was composed of Sinks
whose devoted service to their leader
made them famous Their scarlet sash
es and turbans gained them the name
OF "Flamlngoes." Their descendants
are no less determined fighters and
stanch soldiers. The spirit OF the Sikh
is shown in the lines quoted from n
song:
Remember Hodson trusted us, and
trust the old blood. too;
And as we followed him to death, our
sons will follow you"
