The Humorous Side of the South African Campaign,

Writing to the Daily Mail, Edgar Wallace wye :— Another personality that figures perhaps in more stories than any other Boidia. ia General T •, whoea voca bulary, extensive aad peculiar, ia the: Bc'bject of many stories, Ia tha gaaeral advance towardi Pre* sort;* oni? o! the roost polished of our gonurali, eaeiag a ■ solitary horsenian _idbg about natter ft heavy Ere, sent an orderly to tell * that tool' to $et miclsr cover Mhe did not wish to be .hot. The orderly returned with the iinfora-afcton that he had delivered hia -neoaage, and that the horseman had said many weird thitsgi,-ftmoag whioh w„» Jhs intelligence tbat he waa Gene- The polite general was pained thit io had made the mistake, and askod tha orderly whether General .T——was muiib offended. * Much offended, sir !* said Atkins gleefully ; 8 why, be told aie to go to-—that ia to say, sir, he said jron were—well, to tell yon the troth, ilr, I cenldn't 'aye laid it better ■myse'f !' General T-—!■_ stickler for discip line, an* during his term of command in one of the big Free Btate towns, he gav a strict orders that officers arriving at the station shonld report themselves either personally to hira, or to his Bfcaff officer, or to his A.D.O. Kit staff officer kt the time was a genfjlein-n by no means favoured of nature in the matter of good looks-, added to wfa'oh be was a man of morose acd taciiarn disposition. The A.D.O was a gilded youth with a drawl and vacant stare. TECS TO LIFE. There arrived in the town command ed by the general an officer of one of th« Bushman Corps, rough of language aod fearless of gold laoe. It happened be was taking a morning lienor at the olnb when the general entered, and was passing through the room in which the Ooloniol stood, when he noticed that the Australian's face was unfamiliar. '• Hi, you, sir," he roared, •' who the devil are you ?'' The Colonial rose and saluted. •Captain J— f ~Jr* Qe replied, 3rd Vic torians. ';.J When did yon arrive?' de manded the general. •Yesterday, sir/ wes the reply, «Why have yon not reported yourself to me, gfr V dra»_d'd T—*—, adding a rider condemnatory to his listener's visual crgans. "■ahe Colonial wae riled. ' I went to vonr office ; you were not in, bat I saw two officers. 1 4Who were they?' I .don't know their name?,' paid the Colonial. •Dewribs thera, then,' said General _^mmxmtmmm

'Weil, «aid the Colonial desperately, forte had no gift of language, 'one was an ugly looking devil with a beastly ■f «OwV interrupted T-—, 'that's my fttff officer.'
