 A Serious Blow 10 the British.
 London. Nov. 5.-Tbe news that COlenso has been evacuated was aE other bitter pill for tae British pa5- lie and IS srousing fears that coHti- mental statements of second seri- ous defeat of General White may prove true A siguihcan; fact is that the war office does not know when COlenso was evacuated, SO the statement emanating on Thursday from Dr. Lyeds. the diplomatic rep resentatiFe of the Traasvasl. who is located at Brussels. that the Boers had occupied Colenso, a as possibly true. There is much apprehension that the war office is suppressing bad news.
 The evacuation of Colenso is un- doubtedly a most serious matter for the British in Natal. as it not only testi6es 10 the complete investment of Ladysn.;H by the Boers, but makes ths relief of General Sir George Stewar. White an extremely difhcul operation. Colenso is the point where the railway from Lady smith crosses the Tugla river which is now in flood. The town itself is of strategic importance. It is dom mated by hills on the north side of the river and SO was untenable if the 1 Boers advanced, as they seem to have done. Moreover only a small . naval and colonial force was station ed there.
 The serioU sness of the evacuation, lies in the fact that Com msndant Joubert, while completely investing Sir George White at Lady smith he can seize this Tugla bridge, and if he has sufficient troops can ietach a force and send it south ward on to Pistermaritzburg, and in any case, by destroying the bridge and railway. can prevent any relief expedition reaching Sir George White for some time.

Hon. Thomas C. Fletcher, the noted

The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus,

Gentlemen-For years I have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system, and
no one knows the torture and misery
have passed through. My doctor has
prescribed various remedies, and have
never found any relief until was per-
suaded by friend to use DR.. Hartman's

of dropping I had in my throat, and
built my system up generally. To those
who are suffering with catarrh take
pleasure in recommending your great
medicine. Very especially,

HE DID NOT HAVE IT.
How q Joshine Judge Sailed Dow
DELIGHTFULLY."- Fresh
Young Man.

William Lightfoot Visscher tells this char
acteristic story of Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be ex-
ecuted than any other judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was so
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot of Grim
inals to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch Of
culprits to be sentenced, the Judge looked
compasisonately over his speetacles at one
young scamp, and said:
''In consideration of the youth and in
experience of this prisoner I shall let him off
with fine of $50"
Before the Judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man coolly stretched his
right leg and ran his hand. into his trousers
pock et on one side, remarking nonchalantly
as he did so:
THAT'S all hunky, Judge; I've got that
much right here in my jeans"
cluded the judge. Then looking over at the
convict in quizzical sort of way, he added:
DO you happen to have that in your jeans?"

The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus,
Ohio:
Gentlemen-I've often heard of your
great medicine and have persuaded my
wife, who has been much of sufferer
from catarrh, to try Pe-ru-na, and after

improved. It has proved all you have
claimed for it, and take pleasure in
recommending it to anyone who is af-

Catarrh in it's various forms is rapid

doubted remedy has been discovered by
DR.. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the past forty
years. Prominent men have come to
know of its virtues and are making pub
lie utteranees on the subject. To save
the country we must save the people.
To save the people we must protect
them from disease. The disease that's
at once the most prevalent and stub.

D'Entrangueg Late arrival at the supper:

D'Entrangueg Late arrival at the supper:
but entered the tent sure of the results. A
dozen blazing torches threw clear enough
light, and DAlegres briefly requested the
provost to begin the search. The practiced
hands OF the field police did this very eff,
fectually, but to no purpose, and felt that
the faces of all were looking friendly towards
me. D'Entrangues seemed nervous, and
his sallow cheek was pale.
'*Send for Tarbes," he said, and at word
from the provost my knave was led in. This
man was Spaniard, whom had taken into
my service, some little while ago, on the
recommendation of D'Entrangues. Except
on one occasion when he lost, or maybe
stole, a pair of silver spurs, for which l
cuffed him roundly, he had served me well.
At the present moment he seemed overcome
with fear, trembled in every limb, and re-
fused to look at me.
"Signor Tarbcs," said the provost, edo
you know what the wheel is?''
The man made no answer, and Braccio
went on:
Signor Tarbes, we want little infor-
nation which am persuaded you possess.
If you give it freely we will be merciful; if
you prevaricatc, if you attempt to conceal
anything, we will do to you what we did
to the death hunters after San Miniato-

added.

liere, advises you, and I must say advises

his look, and the general turned to Tarbes:

time OF the search D'Alegres and others
were standing on it, Owing to this, and to
the crowded state of the tent, it had hither-
to escaped the attention which it would
doubtless have received sooner or later, for
nothing ever passed Braccio's eyes. In a
moment the rug was sweptaside, and, as the
torches we're held to the turf, it was evident
that it had been dug away and then replaced
somewhat carelessly.
Braccio was in his element.

each other one morning, INDUCED in
this dialogue:
First Deaf Maa-Good morning. Are
you going to buy sake (rice wine)?
Second Deaf Man-Oh, excuse me; I
thought you we've going to buy sake.
A topper, feeling "headachy" after a
spree, had fallen asleep. He dreamed
that he had found sack of sake and
licked his chops before tasting it. "How
