In the attack on the messhouse at Lucknow both the men who are now at the head of the British armyâ€"Wolseley and Roberts himselfâ€"took a prominent part. “The attacking party," says Lord Roberts, “was commanded by Brevetâ€"Major Wolseley of the 90th Light Infantry. The building was carried with a rush, and the enemy retreated to the Moti Mahal, where our troops were stopped by the high wall which enclosed that building. Wolseley then sent for some sappers, who quickly opened out a “space throng! which they all passed. As BOISTâ€" the party moved off to attack the \1 mossâ€"house, ’ ' continues Lord ' Ro‘bertS‘. “Sir Colin, who on his white horse was intenestedly watching the pro- ceedings, ordered me to procure a regimental color and place it on one of the turrets of the building, that Outram might be able to judge how far we had advanced. I rode off accordingly to the 2nd Punjab In- fantry standing close by and re- quested the Commandant, Captain, Green, to let me have one of his colors. He at once complied, and I gallopxped with it to the mess-house. As I entered I was met by Sir ,Davi‘d Baird, one of Sir Colin’s aides-deâ€"camp, and Capt. HOpkins, of the 53rd Foot, by both of whom I was assisted in getting the flag‘ with its long staff up the inconven- iently narrow staircase and in' planting it on the turret nearest the' Kaiser bagh, which was about 850 yards off. No sooner did the enemy perceive what we were about than shot after shot was aimed at the color, and in a very few moments it Was' knocked over, falling into the ditch below. I ran down, picked it up, and again placed it in position, only for it to be once more shot doWn and hurled into the ditch. Once more I picked up the color and ; found that this time the stafi had: been broken in two. Notwithstan -f ing I managed to prop it up a third ‘1 time‘on the turret, and it was not' again hit, though the enemy contin- ued to fire at it for some time." On coming down Roberts made his way‘ to the western wall of the Pearl? Palace enclosure, outside of which Outram and Havelock were standing together. Sir Colin Campbell waited to receive these two heroes on the ground sloping down from the mess- house, and it was there that the meeting beth'een the three veterans took place. A most impressive and memorable scene was that meeting. After the relief of Lucknow, a col- umn under Hope Grant went in pur- suit of the rebels to Bithoor and Khodagunj, and it was in the Khodâ€" agunj village during this expedition that Lieu't. Roberts won the Victoria Cross. The village had been carried by assault by the 53rd and air93rd Regiments, and the cavalry charged the broken enemy.

I saw Younghusband late: fall, but I could not go to his asâ€" guns sistance, as at that moment one of far his sowars was in dire peril from ishix a sepoy who'was attacking him with com fixed bayonet, and had I not helped bloc the man and disposed of his oppon- but out he must have been killed. The of 1 next moment I descried in the dis- as 1 tance two sepoys makingoff with a liev‘ standard which I determined must be the captured, so I rode after the rebels mid and overtook them, and while sta1 wrenching the staff out of the hands wai of one of them, whom I cut dOWn, she the other put his musket close to abc my body and fired; fortunately for Sin me, it missed fire and I carried off haw the standard.” Such is the hero's OWn modest account of his gallant deeds. In a footnote, to which we are referred by an asterisk, he says, “For these two acts I was awarded the Victoria Cross." In 1859 Lord Roberts, who had re- turned to England in broken health, a was married. Shortly afterwards he returned to India, and in 1863 serv- _ ed with an expedition against the Afghan tribes on the northwestern .. frontier. In Abyssinia, 1868, and against the Lushais (again in northâ€" TH western India), in 1871â€"72, .he saw more stirring service. During these 1 years his-soldierly exploits and qual- . f ities were recognized by promotions 2b and decorations. In 1878 he had i his first important command, that tr: of the expedition against Afghanisâ€" t11 tan, brought to a successful close by a his attack and capture of Penvar Kotal, an elevation 8,500 feet above as 'r- the sea. Roberts speaks of this a; )F‘ modestly, but military critics then t land now look upon it as a most E r _ brilliant performance. In 1880 came l r ie the news of the cowardly assassin- ll‘ ation of Colonel Cavagnari and the 3 pj members of his mission at Cabul. ! l: , . l °f The Cabul Field Force was at Once ce organized, and Roberts was appoint- in ed to command it, With 6,500 men, 5 2 a: he was ordered to advance rapidly ‘1 he on Cabul.

That tune is itself oflicial propertyg and is always a. favorite with thef regimental bands. Some of these; quicksteps are older than any of the] men in the regiment.

Even some very mediocre productions are enjoying an immense pepularity. As for the music publishers, they are Working overtime and are turn- ing out war songs by the torn, while an insatiable public cries for more. One of the latest of these songs is entitled "Under the Same Old Flag." It refers to the loyalty of the colonâ€" ies. On the cover is shown a New South Wales lancer. Here is one of its verses; DEL Jvun yuan.-.’ ..-_v v, y And your banners wave on high, Brave hearts are burning. Ready there to do or die.

This is the chorus: It they want to get the pull on old 1011:) Bull, They‘ll have to get up early out of bed; As again they've had a slap We shall paint a certain map With just another patch of red! A third ballad of the same order is ”Irishmen Must. Be There.” Here is a. verse: Ed what a dear old land to fight for, What a grand old nation still!

The following are the first verse and chorus: The note of fierce defiance has been hurled, And we inust prove our rights before the world; To make our just demands we did not cease Until the brutal Boers disdained our pence. They’ve_t;‘ied the game of bluster, bounce ' and brag And thrown their dirty insults at our flag: Now they must fight and pay, the die is cast, n And we’ll wipe out the errors of the past. t Then take the muzzle off the lion And let him have a go! Is Boer or Briton going to rule? That's what we want to know! Whisper to him “Majuha Hiill,” Then at his chain he’ll pull; There’s only room for one out there, And that’s John Bull. These are the typical songs of the home patriots. The real soldiers are too far from the music balls to be stirred by the latest thing in martial music. Just What son-13r has become a. favorite with the Bi‘itish soldiers in South Africa has not yet been told. It is safe to assume that some song has been adopted. It is always When" Strathcona’s Horse get their kit; they will have the swellest out- fit a Canadian troop ever boasted of.

The fig~ ure will be pretty high. A rough estimate of the cost at ordinary store price would make each outfit. worth $125. That figure, of course, does not include the horse's equip- ment, which is of the very best, and includes surcingles, feed bags, etc. The outfit will weigh pretty heavy.
