Tale of Boer Courtesy.

 How a British Soldier's letter was sent to his mother.

 From Aldershot comes a pleasant story of Boer courtesy, writes the London correspondent of the Philadelphia Times. On Dec. 8, 1900, Mr. Barker, who had come from Aldershot with the mounted infantry, wrote to his mother from Krugersdorp, inclosing a postal order. Sent off suddenly out to Nooitgedacht, he lost his haversack and the letter too. A few days ago his mother received it, with this addition from Dr. Pameiger:

 "Inclosed letter came into my possession after the battle of Nooitgedacht, Dec. 13, 1900. The war now beIng over, I send you this letter and the postal order, possibly a remembrance from your Charlie, so much the dearer to you if he was killed."

 He was no killed, but home again at Aldershot and able to meet the doctor's postscript, "Please will you answer me."
