L ‘ Send the boys letters; send them parcels: send them papers; keep them posted in the doings around home. They appreciate all these little acts, and the cheerful boys can always work better and light better than the boy with depreSscd spirits. Look at the'letters they send home; see how they fairly gloat over the turkey or plum pudding, they feast on in the trenches. They talk about these things, and the recollection of such events gives a buoyancy of spirits that will make them bet- ter lighters when the time comes to tight. Pte. Falkingham is not an exception, he isn’t anything out of the ordinary. He is just .a plain soldier, and withall just a plain boy, He looks for a boy’s enjoy- ment, just as other boys do. He likes to tell what he had to eat. He likes to know what’s going on at home, and the little scraps 0! news however insignilicient they may appear to us are 0! interest to him. Here’s a letter he sent his parents from the front. We are glad to see him in such good spirits;â€" I received quite a bunch of let- ters today. Some from Florence and Bertha in Toronto, and also one from Thos. Cook and Will Wal- lace. You may be sure I was a pleased boy, to see that they do not lorget me. So you got the shell none, I was afraid it would not come through, as the postal authorities are very much atraid of things like that. But I sent it over lrom England so it was sure to come. days ago, planned to .00 you are all well, and glad to say we are all well here. A BAD COUITIOI Isn’t it sad to think of 'a boy nineteen or twenty years of age. who claims under oath such a knowledge of whiskey as to be able to distinguish between the different brands. The task may be an easy one for anything we know, but we have no desire to be better informed from experience. When voung Grasby was giving evidence on Tuesday he gave the court to understand that he could disting- uish between Scotch, Irish and Im- perial Whiskeys. To us it was a painful admission and the amuse- ment shown. by some of the aud- ience was evidence that many of the community are not sufficiently grave on the serious things of life. We h0pe the young lad for his own sake, will soon become wiser. FROM FLANDERS’ MUD ”4E DURHAM CHRONICIE “I received your letter a (ew DURHAM, FEBRUARY 17, 1916 VI IRWIN.

Besides the aged couple the home was occupied by a granddaughter, her husband, and their young infant, a few weeks’ old. All had a narrow escape as they sleep in the main part of the house and the fire ori inated in the back kitchen, whic was a seething mass of flames, when they were awakened by the wild mew- ing of a cat.
