Tired of Catching Them.

A good story about De Wet is told in a letter received in Glasgow from an officer and published in M. A. P. Three yeomanry scouts were taken prisoners near Lindley. De Wet told them he s had an important dispatch for General Rundle and if they would undertake to deliver it they would be liberated. All three gave their words of honor to deliver the letter, which was as follows: “Dear Sir: Please dhain up these three devils, as I catch them every day. Yours, De Wet.”
