which merited the simple decoration
For Valour."
The Victoria Cross chaplain alluded to
was Chaplain J. W. Adams, who, during
the Afghan war of 1879, rescued two
troopers of the Ninth Lancers at the i'm
minent risk of his life. One of the braV-
est men during the South African war
was Padre Robertson, chaplain of the
Highland brigade, who risked his life
hundred times, carrying messages where
the bullets were flying thickest, taking
water to wounded men, and ministering
to the dying on the field. In the Egyptian
war, too, Padre Robertson, who accompa-
MED the Cameron Highlanders, specially
distinguished himself by bringing in
Lieutenant Cameron. who had been NOR
tally wounded.
It was in South Africa that Padre Hill
at Belmont succored many wounded men.
and often stood amid a hail of bullets.
book in hand. reading the sacrament for
the dying. Another chaplain who had
brilliant record Of service behind him
was the Rev. Robert Brindle, who was
with Lord Wolseley in the Egyptian war.
and distinguished himself by his intrepid
conduct at FL Teb. He was also in the
Nile expedition, and was mentioned in
Lord Kitchener's dispatches during the
Dongola expedition, receiving from the
hands Of Queen Victoria the D. S. o.
A brilliant feat, too, was that of Chap
lain Collins, of the Royal Irish Fusiliers,
during the Sudan campaign, when a
desperate attack was made by the Arabs
on Sir John M'Neill's zareba. So sudden
was the attack that the British soldiers
were scattered, but quickly forming into
number of little squares, they faced the
foe in a gallant and determined style,
Chaplain Collins, standing back to back
with Major Alston, doing deadly execu-
ton with his heavy revolver.
Among other heroic chaplains might
be mentioned the Rev. James Bellord,
who was severely wounded at Tel-el-Re-
bir; the Rev. G. NJ. Gordon, who was
killed in Afghanistan while attending to
a stricken soldier on the field of battle,
and the Rev. E. Ayrton, who during the
Indian mutiny was surprised and attacked
at Chanda by a small body of rebels
Weaponless, he piled his stout stick to
such excellent purpose that the enemy
was kept at bay until some British sol
diers rescued him from his periIouS
position.

(ITLoTH and cassock cover many
stout, valiant and patriotic
heart" the Bishop Of London,
chaplain Of the London Rifle Brigade,
said not long ago. referring to the valu-
able work performed by the chaplains
and priests at present with the fighting
armies. It was no exaggerated state
ment, for no men at the front today are
doing nobler work and performing finer
deeds than the padres of the regiments"
as they are affectionately known, both
in the French and English armies.
But a few days ago a story was told Of
a heroic chaplain who, on the battlefield
near Stenay, celebrated mass at the re-
quest Of a number of wounded soldiers,
dropped shells within a hundred yards
of where he stood. An altar was impro-
vised from a surgical dressing-table rest
ing on a box containing splints, and COW
cred with a hospital sheet. On the altar
were placed punches Of flowers in vases
made from the bases Of German shells,
and when these arrangements had been
made the chaplain proceeded to say mass,
undisturbed by the fact that at any mo-
ment a shell might annihilate him.
Another striking illustration of the
plucky manner in which regimental chap
lains perform their duties is afforded by
a letter from a medical officer in the
fighting line, who says: "a parson having
turned up, We had service. What fun
ny service It wasI Each man holding a
rifle in one hand and sharing a hymn
book with the other, while in between
the verses of the hymns you could hear
the shells whistling, one OF which might
well have killed thirty or forty OF u.s.
In France, under the conscription law,
priests are liable for military service in
case Of war, and that explains why
twelve abbes, who were either officers,
non-commissioned officers, or private SOL
diers, figure in the roll of soldier-priests
who have laid down their lives for their
country. One, Able Luchat, was q SER
geant in a cyclists corps and was killed
on the field Of battle after being mem
toned In dispatches On ths previous dAy.

when you're feeding heroes from the
trenches.
And something cheery'' seems to be
the one and only theatrical diet in de-
mand. We took tt-ee men In khaki
with US, and there were crowds more in
doris. And the khaki men laughed as II
they really hadn't been facing terrible,
terrible things.
Lots more officers and men, too, have
been coming and going from the front
during the last week or two-coming
bearded and mud-stained from the
trenches and going back to them shaven
and shorn and all 5martened up again
for another try at 1t. It's only day or
two they have, of course, but the Leices-
ters got an extra one for doing a very
hard piece Of work, but they don't waste
any time, you bet, and get in some pret-
ty crowded hours Of glorious life.
One Of the things the officers have al
ways spent a good slice OF their time on
is-what do you think?-shopping. It's
not only for themselves, you know, but
for the poor, dear others who haven't got
leave. We heard one ordering no less
than twenty British sweaters last week.
And, by the way, the extra bit the war
ONCE has just put on the outfit allow
ance was very welcome. A lot Of those
who've come In for 1t "blewed" II all at
once on the warm things they are want
ing so badly.
The Belgian officers seem to have all
gone back, by the way, but they haven't
been going in much for gaiety. AS one
said last week, when some one asked
him to turn up at The Dansants" our
men are patroniZing so busily, II don't
dance, madame, until I can forget some
of the things I have SEEN"
A man we know has written from his
German fortress, simply imploring for
books to read. Says he's got nothing but
the works Of Schiller-awful picture,
isn't It? Fancy reading Hermann and
Dorothea" when you badly want cheer
ing up. Seriously, though, Betty, some
times / think we don't quite realize
what a bad time our prisoners are haV-
ing. It's not that they're badly treated.
but, as We say, Sometimes the loneli-
ness and uselessness and bitterness como
breaking over one like a waste. It's
awful not knowing II anyone is alive or
dead, as all news of the army in let

It's a shock, isn't It, to realize that al

they were out partridge shooting. .

they do say that the prince has found
one silver lining to this dark cloud Of

CARE FOR
THE DEAD
The Cremation Society Of Washington

has every modern equipment for the care of
funerals given direct to US
$4,000 to $4,000 will pay all the cost of
funeral whether the body is to be SHIPPED,
BURIED or CRENATED. Heretofore the peo-
pie of this city have paid from $3.50 to $500
for this same service.
We have the most complete institution for the
care of the dead that there is in this city. Our
Coumbarum is absolutely fireproof and now
contains the ashes of over THREE THOUSAND
CARNATIONS. We have FOUR lNClNER-
ATORS and do not have TO disturb the ashes
until they have become cold
Every Person Who Has the Remains
of Friend or Relative Cremated
Should Insist on Seeing the Ashes
Before They Are Disturbed.
Our ncinerators are so constructed that the re-
mains disappear before the casket-the body
being composed originally of the four gases
oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbonic acid
passes into the air-eaving nothing but the
lime formation of the bones. There are no
ashes from the casket--there is no smoke
there is no odor.
We ASK That Some Friend or Relative
Always Remain and See the Crena-
ton From Its Beginning to Its End.
We have all our casketS made in Seattle and
pay more for them than any undertaken who
buys outside of the city, the wood grown here
being better material for this purpose than any
other, whether earth-buria or cremation is
required
