A British General's Tribute to the Boors

General Lyttelton, replying to an address of welocme at Stoarfaridge, recently re marked that nasty things had lataly hea.\ said about incidents in the war, and he was sorry to say that nasty things had happened. Bat these things were not in accord with the Boer character. The Boers were bravo men, and he did not think the atrocities thathad been reported Were the aote of the regular Dutch burg hers, but of some of the tiff rafi who gob Into armies. There was no reason why the Boers ehouid nob settle down with our own people, as had been the caae in other cotmtrlea. General Lytbeifcon paid the highest tribute to the qualities of thi men Id the British tanks, who, h® aaid, Drera worthy descendants of those who bad goaa before.

The Commander in Chief and the Young Colonial.

It !b nob often that a colonial lad has the fconoar of an interview with the Comman der in Chief of the British Army, but Mich has been the good fortnne of Rex de Vries, the eraal! son of MrGde Vries, of Ohristchmch, who is now travelling at Home with his father. The circumstances Which led to th© interview are set forth in »letter from Mr de Vries, published In Ohristohuroh Truth The lad had a keen desire to see Lord Roberts, and with a view to gratifying the boy's wish his father wrote to the private secretary of the Com Bander In Chief, and in a courte ous reply this gentleman stated that ha had shown the letter to Earl Roberta, who had expressed tha wish that the lad ehoold o*H on him at the War Office, when he would be giad to see the yoang New Zealand 'enthusiast. In tha interview Lord Roberts first asked a number of questions of the boy concerning his life la I'\&w Zealand, and then spoke to his f*ther aboob fche 6ne fellows New Zealand hM sent) to the front, Adding that he hoped thftt all those that have returned from Sooth Ifrica are quite satisfied. Lord Roberta told Mt de Vries that he Intends vieltini? New Zealand as soon as his dattoa at the War Office permit him to do so As long as matters In Sooth Africa are nob settled, he coald, of coarse not think of such a trip. Before saying good bye Lord Roberts promised the lad th*t he would send him his photograph, which he did, the photograpbyalso bearing Ms antograph.

New Zealand Praise of Bile Beans.

BIttTTING HEADACHES BILIOUS MESS AND RETCHING! OUREPI

Amongst the citizans of New Zealand aid in all parts of tho world, Bile Beans have earned for themselves, by their auequalled excellence a reputation which pi sees them far in advance of any ether similar preparation, in evidence of this we quote the strong testimony of one who resides in Oamaru 1 hie mmc is Mr Frederick Gerrie, and he says:-— "For a considerable time I have been a sufferer from biliousness, splitting head aches and repeated attacks of retching. Many remedies were advised and tried %!thont success. Bile Beans for bilious aces were then recommended to hip. After Uktog the first dose or two I began to feel a decided relief, and Continuing to take them, the pain* in tny head ceased, and retching became a thing of the past. Bile Beans an with* out doubt a marvellous remedy for biliousness and sick headaches, and for such complaints deserve to be widely known. I sfe'ol have much pleasure in recommending th m to my friendp, because they have proved in my case, •• an infallible remedy." Such ia the testimony of an Oamaru gentleman, given for the benefit of his fellow colo nist?, with reference to the marvellous properties of Bila Beans in cases of biliousness headache and retching, and amongst you there are thousands who can testify to their worth in eases of indigestion, constipation, bad blood, pimple?, files, bad breath, female ail. saent?, coughs colds, rheumatism as a prevpntative, or curing the after effects of influecz *, and for a general toning op of th© system, "Obtainable from all chemists and storekeepers, and as the price is so very low, they shoald be in ©very home.

Pathetic Tale of the Veldt

tfc was when Methuen crossed the Mod* der thai* in the garden and fields near the banks were aoen lying stiff and stark a number of bold Highlanders, who had in advance forded or sworn the river. There was one corner near fche fence where two lay, whcsa attltnde even In death could not escape notice. Who and what they were I have never been quite able to identify accnrately. Bat this outline suffices. They wero Celt and half Celt, and proved comrades. The younger, fair, haired, smaller, and Saxon born, had; crossed the river, and big Mao w^aa by. hia side. Creepiog,they had won their wny from the banks same distance, firing and fight' lost forward ine.h by it) oh, Grace in fche {ttrden from the fence posts they came cnder a withering rifle fire. The younger was mortally Mb, and Mao drew him under each cover as he could, and went on ftlifctie way ip"-o the ooen to avenge hla chora. The ping of his rifle took tale of the slowly retreating B>ers. until Mao himself was hit In the bs m&ch and arm, ani roiiec? ovpp in expiring agony. Ho clenched hia fist;, and, raising his arm aloft, shook it fiercely at his foemen. Id was hia last effort-, and so he died, with the clenched fisfe and raised arm, rigid as aMatut-p—fche rittormortls—-poised in the Air, With his last expiring strength the yottnger man drew himself to where Mao lay, and, pillowing his head upon the huge, swarfc, and brawny Celt's breast, passed into the sleep of death. There lay thefl® twain, common British soldiers, both faithful friends in life and death, and nofe Jonathan and David loved each other more. So the old world swings In space, and the old events racur.~ Bennet BorJelgh.
