The letter was published in the Daily Mud of Ixindon : "It is true that in Pretoria there are a few Irish with Oom Paul in all his doings, hut very few from having any hatred of Knghuid and more from the fact that they are like hundred* of others living on concessions given them, or more properly are receiving a little of the HO,000 devoted last year to secret service. 1 have an in- timate knowledge of Irishmen all over the country, and have no hesitation in saying that '.!.' JUT cent, of Ihem are with the old Country in this quarrel, and iml<-ed. at all ti;:i -s. " Private Francis Hums. 1 loyal Irish Fusiln r-,, writcb from Ladysinith as follows: "We went for the Boers at 6. SO. When within a thousand yards shot and shell begun to fly about us. There is no mistake they can khoot ! Dead and dyin^ were all around, but we lose all feeling in huftlo. Up the hill we went with fixed bayonets, but the cowards would not wait for us, but ran like sheep. They pit up a flag of truce, and our general would not let us tiro on them, when we and the cavalry could have slaughtered the lot. Tha dead were on top of each other. It wu terrible. The two officers of my company were idiot. The papers say the Dublins were first on the hill, but it was the Royal Irish it does not matter, anyhow, lor we were all Irish. Tell my mother England's first battle was won by the Irish Brigade. "We have hail fire days and nights of misery. The world will never know what Irishmen did them fear- fnl nights. We camn through a place called the Devil's Pass. All it wanted was some tire, and it would have been hell. We are now in Lady- smith. The Boers fire on our hos- pital.*, and do things a savage xrould not do, but the day of re. ..omnir is coming. We aro all looking out for Sir Kedrers liuller and the soldiers from home."

Healthy, happy girls often become languid and despondent, from no apparent cause, in the early days of their worna- hood. They drag along, always tired, never hungry, breathless and with palpi- tating hearts after slight exercise, so that to merely walk up stairs is exhausting. Sometimes a short, dry cough leads to the fear that they are going into consumption. Doctors tell them they are anaemic which means that they have too' little blood. Are you like that ? More pale and anaemic people have been made bright, active and strong by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills than any other medicine, Mra. M. N. Jon cm, Berchler. Que., write* : "My daughter.
