A wounded English officer tells the following incident which occurred after the capture of the village of Loos by the British troops: "I had picket! my way among heaps of German corpses, when I was arrested by a voice which seemed familiar. A few yards to my right I observed one of our Red Cross doctors dressing the wounds of a German officer. 'Bad case, doctor?' I remarked casually; and immediately his patient shouted: 'Hello, Willie!' I approached the wounded man, and to my astonishment, found he was a German cousin of mine. My German friend did not conceal, his emotion, and 1, too. was much affected by a meeting in such circumstances. 'You'll look after him- well?" I said to the Red Cross man, and bending down, I bade adieu to my German cousin. A few days after my arrival in London T received a letter from him. It was an unstinted tribute to the valor of the British troops in our great attack, and to their traditional sense of humanity. Of our soldiers he wrote in chivalrous terms: 'your men are not only soldiers, they are gentlemen, every inch of them.'"

A county clerk is expected to be a man of many parts. But a request that reached the clerk of the Mackenzie County Council was surely somewhat outside the scope of what might be expected of him. In response to a demand for overdue rates, a ratepayer tendered him a Shorthorn hull for sale and returns, asking that the rates should be deducted from the proceeds. Xone of the councillors present at the meeting (says the Timaru Herald) offered to assist him. But be is anxious to have a prospective buyer in view before the ratepayer makes delivery. DO YOU KNOW?
