One tce-s all sorts of IntereKting people here. The most interesting iire prol)- iibly the wuunded .snidiers back from the front. Yesterday I had a talk with a Kunner from the (ith field battery, who was wojnued at St. Julien un the 27th of Apill. He hnd been in liospiiiil ever since, and ivis then on hi.s wiiy buck to the front. This man, named Ferguson, whs serv- ing a gun iu the fierce Kghtint( around St. Julicn, when a high exph>9ive shell lit fifteen feet to one side and blew an enormnis hole l>e>ide the gun.

Now he is off to the Little and a number of pretty tittle nurses, with Dr. Murray as patient, sufTering with a bal corn on his Ford pedal ffK»t. The prizes were as follows : Beat fancy automobile, <i. Mitchell; t)est comic vehicle, E. Heniyanl Geo. Mc- Tavish; best comic outfit on fooc or horseback, W. Buskin; best patriotic I back to hell" he said, «juttit, Ked Cross girls. After the procession a pig catching contest took place on the a(|Uiiie. The pig was a little fellow and was caught front again ' quite cheerily. H's description ot tneir work was veiy vivid. .\t one time tlia gunners man- bundled their batteiy up to the crest .if a hill, where they could get direct hits at j the cneiuy. *' We could see them coming down a road," he said, " an endless line of brown figures, swinging along at a steady pace. With every step we could see the lina waving up and down, steadily aa rollers ithout much dithculty by Maik Wilson, Jon the sea. Then one of our shells burst right ill the middle of the column. There was u wide gap in the line, as the shrapnel did its deadly work. HlM they c.ime. Another of our sLells burst â€" foi we hal their lange with deadly rccuracy â€" then another and another. At each burst a gap was ma 1e in the c ilumn, and we saw the road below â€" nothing but dust where men had been before. The efTect of tlie guns in a few minutes was terrible, and still the column advanced. 'â-  Finally," he continued, " the Oer- man artillery located us, and shells be- gan to fall around us.

If we had stayed thereâ€" but then we didn't." I asked about the headquarters staff of ed by a bumper audience. The play, put on by a DuiiJalk troupe, was thorough- 1 ly enjoyed by everybody. Our sister village has some histrionic talent of which she ought to be proud. Three or four of the players weic especially good, notably Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Mtgee, Mr. Magee and Mr. W. .Symington, who all liad ditlicult parts to play and who carried them through in a manner entirely satis- factory to the audience. The play was vary sniusing throughout and was much ' <:ujoyed by the large audience. The : proceeds of the concert amounted to #120.25. The gate receipts at the grounds were 91t>.'t.30, and other sources of revenue brought the total receipts up to over 94H0.67. This is considered re- markably good for a day of sportsâ€" in war time. In addition to the above the young women tagged everybody with Red Cross butt<>ni and Hags, raising for their fund <,vcr f6G. The Presbyterian Lsdies' Aid gave dinners to a large number, thereby adding a goodly sum to the coffers i>( the church. The baseball boys who engineered the fpoits this year aie highly elated over the success of their streniieua eflTorts. their brigade. " Wei!," was tho answer, " last time I saw them they wore i|uar- tered in an old farm house, bnt were packing up their stuff in a groil hurry.

IJftlO -UEO URACKENHURY, Fivernhani [ " We calls 'em soft 'uns," said Private ' Swain of the 4tli (Ontario liatlallon. He I referred to a shrapnel wound In his leg. It was only a tiesh wound, and no bones had been touched â€" consequently a soft 'un." " That's what they all pray for," he added, " 'cause the soft 'uiis burn a bit, but they don't hurt much and you're I soon over 'eir.. I didn't know w'ot It was when I khI mine, but I couldn't walk, and I 'ad to crawl a mile before ttiey picked me up" liut the wound was a minor matter. Ilis chief concern at that moment was to find Canadian headquarters ut Shorn- cliffo, so he could get hack to Iho Kght. Ho W'tnts to get even. Il was in Folkestone I ran acrots a cheery private from tho Seventh liattal- ii>n. Ilis left leg was quite stiff and he I walked with a limp and a cane. But ho seemed as hippy as could be. A few days more and he would be on his way home to Canadaâ€" discharged, a cripple, probably for life; for It was doubtful whether the broken cord in tho log could ever be mended. " Too bad," I sympathized. Put ho laughed at tho idea "It was lucky I didn't lose the whole leg," wsh his answer. That always Meenia to be their view- point. They don't whine about their misfortunes. They consider themsolven lucky In not losing the whole of a leg, or an arm, or a head, as tho case n<By be. And as soon as the hospital is through with Ihein, back tlicy go, off to the front once inoru. They view tho whole thing as a great game of chance â€" " maybe wu will, maybe we won't." In tho mean- time they purpose doing their duty, and they do it' And still the Red Cross trains rush daily past our onip, with their white forms on stretchers, and with bandaged heads and bandaged arms.
