24 OLD SOLDIER IS GOING IN AGAIN Fought in Egypt and Against Boers Without Getting a Scratch Philadelphia. — Patrick Joseph Cummings, of 5 Cheafe street, Oharlestown, who served in the Brit ish Army under the late Lords Kitchener and Roberts, and who has fotight Africa, has re-enlisted through the British and Canadian Recruiting Mission for service in the Connaught Rangers in which organization he was a private and Lance Corporal for thirteen and one-half years. Cummings was wandering about Boston Common yesterday and stop ped to listen to a speech by a re cruiting sergeant. Ten minutes later he was in the Mission headquarters on Bromfield street, and to-night he leaves for the British Army camp at Windsor, Nova Scotia. Although he has been through some of the bitterest fighting in which the Brit ish Army ever struggled Cummings never received a scratch. He par ticipated in all the fighting that proceeded the taking of Khartoum and he spent three years in South Africa fighting the Boers. Before that he was stationed in India and during much of his period there was engaged in warfare against the tur bulent tribesmen. •'1 saw a great deal of Lord Kitch ener during the fighting against the Soudanese in Egypt" said Cummings yesterday "Kitchener was a major in those days and he was a mighty vigorous man. There were times when some of us soldiers who had to obey his orders, thought he was too vigorous. He was a man ab- j solutely without fear and never I showed mercy when there was an | end to be gained. Back home if they had known of some of his orders, they might have accused him of barbarism, but he always won and that is what a soldier Is sup posed to do in the British Army. I was with him when we marched Into Khartoum after the siege that caused so many thousand of lives, and I can see him now as he proudly rode down through the streets of the old Egyptian city, looking neither to the right or left intent on reach ing the headquarters from which he was to direct new operations. He was a great soldier and England misses him badly to-day. Of the two men I liked dear old Lord Roberts the best. He had more con sideration for the men, and when we were fighting in South Africa under him. we all loved him. There was not a soldier under his command who would not have gone to hell for him. He had a habit of remember ing everybody he had seen once. Away back in the days of the Indian campaign I bumped into him one day in the streets of Delhi and sa luted as he passed. Tears later after the fighting along the Modder river, he passed along In front of the Connaughts who were standing at review. Suddenly he stopped in front of me, said something to my commanding officer, and he called me out of the ranks. "Corporal," said Lord Roberts, "didn't 1 meet you in the streets of DelHi?" "Yes sir," I replied. He shook hands with me praised me for stlckin* my duty and ex pressed the hope that some day he would meet me back in old England. I never met him again because soon after my time was up in the army and I came to America. "Be sure now. sir," said Cummings before he left the Mission head quarters "to make my papers read so that they will surely put me in the Connaught Rangers. "I am as Irish as Paddy Murphy's pig and I want to get back among the Irish. I wish to God more of them would come and join me be cause this country is no place for an Irishman while there is a fight going on. There are a lot of them here arguing about Home rule, who would accomplish much more for Ireland if they would go and fight the Germans instead of fighting among themselves and making trouble for old Ireland." Sea Lion Hunters Make Large Kills Marshlicld, Ore.—Seafaring men coming up from the coast from the Curry county district tell of good sea lion hunting this summer, and de clare the kill should be up to the average of other years. Two reefs along the southern Oregon coast are being searched for the lions, one off Rogue River, the other at Port Or ford. William Hunter, who goes out from Rogue River, took with him on a recent trip R. L. Macleay and State Uamo Warden Carl D. Shoe maker. On the trip Hunter killed seventy-five lions. George Forty and sons, Loren and Robert Forty, are killing their lions on the Port Orford rocks, and are also reported to have found good hunting to date. The business of hunting sea lions has been conducted in that section for a number of years, and returns are always sufficient to well reim burse the hunters. There arc many elements of danger connected with the pursuit, for the rocks are slip pery and frequently boats which are left at the water mooring are loosed and the hunters are marooned. .Sometimes boats cannot approach the reefs, particularly when high winds are blowing and kicking up a rough sea. There are many portions of the lions which are salable, the princi pal one being the hides. The skin on the lions is very thick and some times one hide will weigh 400 pounds when "green." The hides are valuable for mill and other ma chinery belting. Skinning the ani mals quickly so that there will be no losses is the feat hunters must look after promptly, and an expert can take the hide from even the largest lion in a few minutes. If there were facilities for saving the blubber or fat, the hunters would make several times the amount brought by the other parts of the lions, but some of the kills weigh more than a ton, and to transport them to a reducing sta tion on shore would be a greater task than can be handled in the small boats used by the hunters. PUPILS ENFORCE RULES Minneapolis, Minn.—The Greeley School pupils Jhave organized fop self-government to relieve the teach ers of hall and playground duty. Tribunes chosen by the various rooms now govern the children and office discipline is almost unknown. A pupil breaking the rules of the council is summoned, tried and sen tenced by pupils of his own age. A recent case was that of a boy who failed to remove his cap when he entered the building and refused to do so when rebuked by a g-irl trib une. That boy will now appear be fore a council made up of pupils of his own age who will decide his jpunishment. "FRIDAY EVENING.
