Colonel Leader found It possible to fill his 80 mlnute addresa with war time remi niscences and anecdotes that had rare charm, humor, and, in at least one Instance, sadness. Story of Boer War Beeoaated "In the Boer war," he said, "my brother was in the column next to me. We came out on a valley, a charming place of homes and trees and meadows, and I got to wondering if I was really going to make war on those people toward whom I wished everything well, and who probably had the same feeling toward me, or whether this was just an extraordinary dream. But soon the firing began and I realized it was war. My brother told me when he went into the fight . he and another encountered a little group of Boers. They got his friend but his shot accounted for one and ha got his bayonet ' into the stomach of another. Then be was wounded and fell. . ' "When ha came around he saw that the mortally wounded Boer was. near him altting up .but failing faat. Can I do anything for you? my brother asked. 'Nothing.' answered tha Boer. Then, Tea, you can, if you will. Write a letter home to my wife.' And my brother wrote that letter home to the wife of the man he had killed. It was the most horrible experience J"The Boer said, 'Here in my pocket are lockets with the hair and pictures of my wife and baby. Send those back to them with my love.' My brother said, 'Wouldn't you like to see the pictures r and the dying Boer an swered, 'No, I couldn't quite stand that.' And he died. "My brother and I agreed that thajt Is what makes war hell." Negro's Uniform Salated 1 Colonel Leader told another story from the present war. Two privates refused to salute a black quarter master's sergeant because of his color. The - colored man submitted without comment twice. But when the privates came down the road again, they found the black man had removed his uni form coat and hung It on the branch of a tree. He was waiting across the road. "Now," said he, "you don't have to salute my black face. I don't care about that. But there la Uncle Sam's coat and you'll either salute it or I'll knock your damned heads off." The privates, said Colonel Leader, saluted.
