Eee are Kitchener and Roberts. "The name of Lieut.-General Sir] Henry Seymour Rawlinson, Bart,., ©.B., C.V.O., has figured in the de- Spatches relating to the fighting of the Canadians at the front. Gen- eral Alderson is in command of our boys, but Lieut.-Gen. Rawlinson is in charge of the division to which the Canadians are attached. - _ His first service was in Burma, with the 60th Rifles, where two years were spent in a tedious cam- paign against dacoit bands. Lord Roberts next made him one of- his aides, a fact which undoubtedly had much*to do with his subsequent suc- eess. Regarding' this post he attend- ed the Staff College from which he eventually passed out extremely ereditably.. By this time he was quite the scientific soldier, and, what is more, exceedingly ambiti- ous and capable. Thus it was that, in 1898, he became D.A.A.G. to Lord Kitchener, and was present in that capacity at the battles of At- bara and Khartoum. K. of K. en- dorsed Lord Roberts'. opinion of his brains by mentioning him twice in despatches and in taking ' this comparatively young officer very much into his confidence, indeed, treating him as one of his right- hand men. A Defender of Ladysmith. By this time he was no longer a rifleman, having exchanged from the 60th into the Coldstream Guards, and on war breaking out in South Africa, Sir George White, who was very much one of '"'Bobs' "' men and an admirer of "Bobs' "' discoveries, asked to have him on his staff in Natal. The consequence of this request was that, as A.A. G., Rawlinson was with Sir George during the defence of -Ladysmith. Though nowadays the siege of that place seems almost a small episode, yet it must not be forgotten that the defending foree suffered tre- mendous privations and showed the utmost skill and 'gallantry in de- fending Ladysmith until its relief. tawlinson did so well with 'Sir George that he. next went to head- quarters in South Africa, serving under both of his former chiefs, "'Bobs" and 'dd K."

Now and then the story is told of .a little country girl who finds a family of interesting black and white "kittens" -in the woods and carnmes them home with much joy, only to be met by a horrified par- ent who loses no time in explain- ing the unpleasant peculiarities of skunks. "As the child grows 'up, this first lesson may be enforced by the sight of anext=door neighbor burying his Sunday clothes ia a se- cluded corner of the garden. "'ilie disrepute of Mephitis mephitica is so firmly established that itis difi- cult to find anyone who has a good word to say about him. An ae- count, however, in Outcioor World and Recreation, by Mr. Eraest H. Baynes, who scraped more thaa casual acquaintance with a whole family of skunks, gives a somewhat different 'character to what he de- clares is a much malizned animal. - By. offering an occasional feast of meat, he made friends with a, pair of skunks that lived ina burrow near a stone wall. One morning in early May he walked round to call, and. just inside the entrance found a squirming mass of black and white young 'skunks, all tugging away af their mother, who lay on her side that they might have a bet- ter opportunity. "Her head was away from me,"' says Mr.. Baynes, "and hidden in the darkness of the burrow, but her tail was turned toward me, and as I approached she raised it slowly over her back. This movement had great significance for me, since I was well within range. For ob- vious reasons I was anxious to avoid any misunderstanding -at this moment, so I sat down and waited very quietly. Then I talked to her, knowing that she would re- cognize the sound of my voice, "Hello, oldidady!' I said in a low tone. 'Steady, now! steady !' And at the same time I stroked her fur ever so gently with my fingers. Very slowly the expressive tail was lowered, and as- I-eontinued to stroke her fur more and more briskly, she stretched herself in comfort, and even leaned toward me a little as a cat might have done. I worked my hand gently forward until I felt one of. the plump little babies. suggestion of hurry I drew him from the hole, rose quietly to my feet, and once clear of the mouth of the burrow, dashed off home like an Indian to photograph and make notes of my prize. Within an hour I had put him back into the den again. "I continued to visit these queer httle meighbors. for weeks, and finally in June ¥ took three 'of the babies from their mother and pro- ceeded to rear them by hand, feed- ing them at first with a glass medi- cine dropper. The next step was to teach them to eat from a saucer, although in the -- beginning they would put their paws into the dish and slop the contents about. As they grew larger, I used to take them out into the fields with me and watch them catch crickets and grasshoppers. Their usual method was to capture their prey by put- ting their paws on it, and then to kill it by rolling it on the ground with their feet. "Often they picked up wild cher- ries under the trees and gathered blackberries and raspberries by pulling down the branches with their paws, They were extremely good-natured little fellows, and ne- ver attempted to bite me, although they were somewhat obstinate at times, running off with all their might when I wanted to take them home, or stamping at me petulant- ly, like spoiled children, when I went to pick them up. "T kept these skunks for two years, and they seemed happy in their semi-captivity; but .I knew that they would be happier if they had entire freedom, so I liberated them in a_ wilderness paradise, where for all I know they are still leading happy--and useful--lives."
