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.
