Of military history is recalled by the DEATH
which occurred at his daughters residence,
at Edgbaston, Birmingham, of Color Sergt.
Edward Zeer of the Somerset Light Infan-
try. Deceased, who was eighty-nine years
of age, was the last survivor of the British
force which withstood a six months siege
at Jellalabad during the first Afghan war;
in 1912. He was the sentry who challenged
DR.. Brydone, the only survivor of Gen.
Elphinstones force, which, while on the way
to the relief of the garrison, was massacred
In the Khyber pass. DR.. Brydone reached
that city exhausted and emaciated and sug-
gested to Lady Butler her famous picture,
The Remnant of an Army Zeer wrote
little booklet of the siege from diary, and
In this he gives vivid picture of the his
toric dash for liberty made by the garrison
in the dead of night, and how the Afghans
were taken unawares and completely routed
He was one of those also who discovered the
body of Gen. Elphinstone and the skele-

DUBLIN, September 22.-The outlines of
most of the schemes for home rule pub
lished up to the present time deal in gilt
tering generalities. 1t is difficult if not i'm
possible for correspondents, either English
or Irish, to deal with accomplished facts
for the reason that little or nothing has
been really settled. Very little of the
Dublin castle plan has been allowed to
transpire few ballons dessai have been
flown to try which way the wind blows
but the particulars made public may bear
no resemblance to the ultimate plan. There
is one very important point on which all
forecasts are silent, and that is chat it is
proposed TO introduce a nominated element
10 keep the county council representatives
straight.
The value OF any forecast of the Mac
donnell scheme may be gagged from the
fact that the plans are far from ma
tured, and they will be altered from time
to time to secure the adhesion OF this or
that member OF the cabinet. If it is true
as reported that two or three important
ministers have declared that they Will not
go as far as the Earl of Dunraven. then
Sir Anthony Macdonnell's pet projects
have little or no prospect of success.
The meeting of the uniOnist alliance and
the speech of Mr.. Walter Long, Mp are
noteworthy at the present time. For better
or worse, the alliance represents the union
its spokesman. He was elected by a big
majority for the one constituency outside
Ulster that returns a unionist. There are
practically only two parties in Ireland
the ndtlOnalists and the unionists. GER
tain section of un!onists, including Lord
Dunraven and some others, have professed
themselves dissatisfied with the existing
condition of Irish government and DESTROYS
of some reform. This policy has been called
'devoluton.' The devolutionists number
some men of considerable ability. But
they are few in number. The nationalists
have welcomed the movement OF the devo-
lutionists, because their attacks on the
existing system are useful so far as they
go, though the remedy they have pro-
posed is pronounced not only inadequate.
but futile. The unionists repudate them.
The existing government is composed
mainly of men who have declared them
selves home rulers. The majority in the
cabinet have voted for Mr.. Gladstones
home rule bill. Quite recently its principal
members, including the prime minister and
Mr.. Asquith, publicly declared that home
rule was the one effective remedy for the
Irish difficulty. The proceedings at the re-
cent meeting of the unionists and the
speech Of Mr.. Long go to show that they
would oppose with equal vehemence any
feeble. They are prepared to oppose deyo-
luton as strongly as home rule.
The speech of Mr.. Long, as the spokes-
man of the Irish unionsts, Is regarded as
a warning 10 the government against fall
ing between two stools 1t is plain
declaration that no watering down of home
rule, however much 1t may ALLEVIATE ma
tionalist support, will in the faintest degree
mitigate unionist hostility.

The Children's Wages.
From Good Housekeeping.

being varied, for one wishes to do away

make it pleasant giving on both sides
Extra pay is often given for special serv-
ices, but not always-an important point
with the understanding that such extra
pennies always go into the childs bank
while the regular allowance is theirs to
spend or save, as they see fit, and is gener-
ally spent, sometimes wisely, oftentimes
foolishly, but with many useful lesson
taught by experience. The parent must not
be arbitrary. The childs will seems utterly
FOOLISH sometimes to older eyes though
perhaps to the all-seeing eye the difference
between old and young may not be SO
great. One mother Of whom / know gives
an allowance of 10 cents week, and then
imposes fines for duties neglected. To ME
this does not seem wise. The little ones
count on their money SO much that the
disappointment is too hard a punishment
for mere fOrgetfulneSs. We mothers know
ourselves what an upset it is to our plans

Enormous Value Ct Our Railways.

The 100000 miles of main track of the
railways of the United States represent
property to the extent of $4,000, 600, 900,
or as much as the total value of all the
property in the country in 1860, the year
of Lincolns election. Their income of over
2,OO0,OO0,000 year is very nearly four
times the annual revenues Of the United
States government. The number of men on
their rolls is 100000, an army as great
as the combined forces that Oyama and
Linevitch had in Manchuria at the time
of the peace of Portsmouth. The railroads
are vast interest Anything which would
hamper then in their legitimate activities
would deal hard blow to every important
industry in the country.

PARIS, September ga party of gyp-
sizes continues to have queer time along
the eastern frontier. 1t is being sent from
pillar to post, as no sooner does it turn up
at one place than it is evicted, to try its
fortunes elsewhere, with a like result. After
having been expelled from several French
towns, 1t was conducted by gendarmes to
the border, but the Germans did not relish
the society of the gypsies any more than
their neighbors had done, they found
their way once more across the frontier.
The French officials, however, were on one
watch, and when the luckless wanderers
appeared at another spot on their territory
they were packed off again, only to be
promptly driven back. At the present mo-
ment quite a little army of French and
German troops is keeping an eye on the
gypsies. They are on French soil, but
company of Chasseurs is posted around
them. One of their chiefs has applied to
the Servian minister here they hail from
his country, asking him to get them all re-
moved to the Italian frontier and the
quel to all this is being awaited with con-
siderable interest.

GLASGOW, September 22.-Reports Of the
greatest suffering in Chile having reached
Glasgow through private letters from ex-
Bailie Sinclair and others, public meetings
are being held to take immediate steps for
the relief Of the poor of Valparaiso ana
other cities OF Chile. The lord provost (Mr.
William Bilsland) presided at one of the re-
cent meetings. He said In his opening aG-
dress that he had been very willing to
arrange the meeting, for It was always IN
line with the traditions OF Glasgow In such
calamIties, when opportunity offered, to
express not only their sympathy but, as
had SO often been done to give tangible
expression of that sympathy. Following
on the disaster at San Francisco, il had
panied them extremely that so soon again
they should learn of dire disaster, and it
was all the more remarkable in this case
because Valparaiso was, next to San Fran
cisco, the most important seaport on the
Pacific coast of America. He moved
That this meeting desires to express pro-
found sympathy with the people of VAL
paraiso and other parts of Chile under the
inscrutable hand of Divine Providence"
Mr.. David MCGOWAN seconded, and the mo-

which was submitted by DR.. Jacks, second
ed by Dr. Rottenburg, and unanimously
approved of, was as follows: THAT the
meeting further desires to extend to the
many thousands Of sufferers a measure of
provost to open relief fund in Glasgow
and TO issue an urgent appeal for con-
tributions to it.

almost unique. And when this difference
takes place in a month when the sunshine

CHAPTER Xxx,
The Spy.

And up at Colenso there was some
wonder over Winstanley, who had rid
den off, as most people had suspi-
cion, on a special mission of danger
and enterprise. He had volunteered
to carry secret dispatches through the
lines of the enemy. 1t was an under
taking full of danger and risk, for it
he were captured it was inevitable
that he would be treated as spy. He
had eagerly caught at the chance of
doing something that would wipe the
secret stain from his name and set him
right in the eyes of those who had
doubted him. If he had one motive
stronger than the rest, it was that it
would be for Ursu1a's sake.
They were dispatches Of the greatest
Importance, for they disclosed appar-
ent plans of the troops, for the guild
ance of the commanding officer in an
outpost station, who might be able by
their help to hold out against the
forces about him till he was relieved.
He went away in high spirits, higher
by far than he had known since he
came out to Africa and the war began.
There was a chance at last for hin,
and he meant to take it that it should
be his best friend.
There was a certain secret knowl-
edge that Winstanley had come out
under kind of shadow. It had been
whispered that the hasty throwing up
of good appointment and leaving the
service had had it's reasons, as any one
might have guessed. But no one was
quite sure, and, after all, 1t. was not
such an exceptional case out there.
There; was more than one man In
Clay's Horse who would hardly have
cared to tell the whole story about his
coming out to the Colony they
