Social Column. The matter included in this column is contributed and paid for.] The Greatest Enemy of the Britislf Army. STATEMENT BY A SOLDIER CONVICT The following case has been copied from a letter received f com Gunner Estall, 13th 8.R.A., Natal, South Africa :— Thk Ahmedabad Shooting Case. Private Patrick O'Hara, of the Leinster Regiment, who was hanged at Poona on Monday, left the following letter, which he handed to Father Hillonkamp before leav ing his cell. It was written in poncil, and dated, " Central Military Prison, Poona, April 23, 1894." " Non-commissioned officers and msn of the British Army,—lt is with a contrite heart that I willingly meet my fate wpon the si.-aifold for a crime I have no recollec tion of committing. I have not oven the i emotest idea of how it happened, as I c m positively assure you oue and all. I have tried with closed eyes to hv\wx tho seeno to aiy wind, but have failed, and what pos sessed me fco take the lives if the l-.vo uou comuiissionod officers and wound a third of my most intimate friends, God alone knows — comrades with whom I -had not had a wrong word while I knew them. I could not be in my right mind to take a rifle and tire four shots at comrades who had never injured me in their lives. As a man that is shortly to appear before his God, I do not remember firing tho shots. I have not looked forward to my life being spired by a reprieve, and a more willing man will never stand upon the scaffold, to oiler his life for a crime. It ia with a glad, heart I received Lmee - Corporal's <' Doyle's forgiveness, through my religious advisers, ami I hope, with God's forgiveaess, to meet Corporals Dooley and Roach in heaven. I will bold y meet my fate, not with a hardened, but with a contrite heart, in atonement for the lives I atn supposed to have taken, while I must certainly have been of unsound mind, caused by that cursed drink. Non- ] commissioned officers and men of the Army i at large, take warning from my disgraceful | fate, and keep from drink, which is the cause of most of the crime in the British Army, irrespective of rank. Take timely warning, before you are placed in the same position as I am, nnd keep from drink. | Never let your passions overcome you, but | love one another, as comrades in the Army \ should do. Before I meet my doom, I wish I to thank the men of the C Company Loyal North Lancashire Regiment for their kind ness towards me during my confinfimerit in detachment cells at Ahmedabad Camp. They treated me as kindly (considering my dreadful crime) as could be expected, and may God bless them for so doing. I also wish to thank Mr Cavenagh (the chief warder) and the assistant warder of the Poona Military Prison, for their kindness to me daring the time 1 was confined in that prison. As far as prison rule allowed them, they could not have treated me more kindly than they did. Last, but not least, I return my most hearty thanks to the good priests at Ahmedabad and Poona for their kind instructions, both religious nnd moral. These were a source of comfort to me during my confinement. May God spare their lives to continue their good work; and may God bless them and reward them for doing me such favours, in aiding jmeto be reconciled to my fate. I willingly offer up my life to God in atonement for my sins, as I was a dreadful sinner. I consider myself a lucky individual, for knowing the time which God was pleased to call on me, to prepare my soul to meet such a merciful Judge, who is willing to forgive me, and all such sinners who are willing to come to Him with a contrite heart. Trusting my awful fate will be a warning to all men, especially to those whom the devil overcomes through the dreadful drink, may God in His mercy for give me, as I forgive every one who has j done me any injury.—l remain, yours, Patrick O'Har\, No. 2245, Late F Company, Ist Leinster Regiment. This letter was folded up, and b;re the , following outside:—" Will some kind friend get this simple statement published, and I oblige a condemned criminal 1"

THE "NOTHING-IN-IT" FEELING. The "nothing-in-it" feoling is the feel ing of dissatisfaction or discontent. You'll meet many people who are chronic dis contents, always fault-finding, morore, and disagreeable. They are not naturally so, and therefore they are much to be pitied. These people belong to the army of dyspeptics, who are a trial to their friends and an object of aversion to their acquaintances. Are you a dyspeptic ? No need to tell you the symptoms. Better to tell yon of a cure. The best remedy known to science is Impey's May Apple, the ideal family medicine. This agreeable laxative is a vegetable compound; it operates gently, painlessly and promptly, and is absolutely reliable in all cases of constipation, indigestion, biliousness, heartburn, sick heaadche, and all stomach, liver and kidney troubles. Impey's May Apple is sold by fill dealers at 2s 6d per ! bottle. If unobtainable locally send postal note to the wholesale agents, Shar land and Co., Limited, Wellington.
