: fought at Modder river before Dia-
mondopolis is relieved.
There is some doubt as to what is
meant in the statement that the Beers
are falling back on Warrenton, which
is fifty miles north of Kimberley, un-
less the dispatch was intended to fall
into British hands in the hope of mis-
leading General Methuen. The latter
however, is said to be far too cautious
to be caught by such trick, and it is
added that it can be confidentially an
ticipated that his column will sweep
steadily forward in spite of the deter
mined resistance he will meet with.
The conclusion must be accepted,
however. reluctantly. that the Beers
are deliberate in their misuse of the
white flags. On top of General Methu+
ems warning and other evidence comes
the statement of Correspondent Knight,
who has arrived at Cape Town vound-
ed. He says he accompanied detach-
ment of the Northampton regiment,
when a force of Beers 800 yards distant
and surrounded, displayed a white flag.
The officer commanding the Northamp,
tons then ordered his men to rise,
when the Beers deliberately volleyed,
wounding Knight and others.
The commander-in-chie at the Cape
has sent the admiralty an additional
list of casualties among the British ma
val brigade engaged at the battle of
Gras. Pan, as follows:
'Midshipman Huddart of the cruiser
Doris and ten sailors and marines
killed, and thirteen petty officers and
seamen and seventy-six non-commis-
stoned officers and men of the marines
wounded. Total casualties 105.''
The following messages has been tel+
egraphed to the commander-in-chief at
the Cape: THE queen desires you to
convey TO the naval brigade who were
present at the action at Gras Pan her
majesty's congratulations on their gall
liant. conduct, at the same time ex-
press the queens regret at the losses
sustained by the brigade"

to bury Sergeant Bill Anthony of the
Maine. Mr.. Croker also promised to
give 800 personally to fund to erect
a monument over the grave of the ma

added to the amount the newspaper
promised to pay, and the marine be
given a more imposing burial.
Father Chadwick of the Maine had
been at the club during the day to see
Mr. Croker. The authorities at Wash

sailor in the national plot in the Green

there.
Father Chadwick cannot officiate at
the funeral on account of the rules of

church funeral for one who has COM
mitted suicide, but the marines chap
lain has done all he can to give the
brave marine a fitting burial. Some
form of service will be gone through
with at the marine hospital.

dients, and, as it is one of the legum-
inous plants, it doubtless derives much
Of its nitrogen from the air.
There are many varieties which at
present are classified by few seedsmen
into early, medium and late; others
offer simply soy or "soja" beans, which
the New Hampshire station has found
to be usually the late variety. This
station has cultivated the soy bean for
four seasons. The cut shows specimens
Of early, medium and late varieties
grown last season and represents their
various degrees Of development when
photographed in September.
No. is dead ripe, with leaves fallen.
1t contains, on an average, from 40 to
rs bean pods, with from two to three
beans each. No. 2 is the medium early
variety, and, although green when
harvested, the seed was matured. No.
is the late variety, and, although Of
good size, it was still in blossom when
photographed.
The average yield of each variety per
acre, when grown upon fairly rich,
but poorly drained clay loan, was for
No. 1, the early, 3 tons, 1908 pounds;
for No. Q, medium early, tons, 1, 9s2
pounds; for No. 8, the late, 4 tons,
1850 pounds. The seed Of the early is
brown, while that of the medium early
is black. Professor Rane in his report
on this plant advises that, all things
considered, the medium early variety is
the best on account of its maturing a
large quantity of seed, as well as max
ing fine leafy growth, thus enabling
one either to sell the seed or convert the
whole into silage.

Tbe strawherrv Leaf Rollar

The work of the strawberry leaf roller
insect was very noticeable in Kansas
strawberry patches during the past
summer. Quite often the patches had
the appearance of having been scorched
in spots by fire. In Kansas there appear
to be three distinct broeds during one
season, each succeeding brood beeom-
ing more numerous and consequently
more destructive On June IA the first
brood of adults commenced to appear.
Paris green applied to the infested
plants at the first appearance of the
worms would be very effective. To de-
termine the earliest appearance of the
worms necessitates very close watch
ing on the part Of the fruit grower.
After the crop is gathered, NOW the
beds and collect and burn the leaves.
Do not purchase plants from infested
patches. Where new beds are to be
started plow under the old ones; for by
this means many of the insects will be
buried and destroyed, says Percy ].

GOOD stories of a bishop.

Many anecdotes were told of Bishop
Williams Of Connecticut, after his
death. for the good bishop was as well
known for his love of fun as for his
earnest piety.
At meeting of the bishops meas
ure was proposed and explained by its
originator, but with such incoherence
that nobody understood it. A second
speaker essayed to make the matter
clear, but only darkened it. When he
had finished Bishop Benjamin Smith of
Kentucky tried to explain the question
and also the explanations Feeling that
he had failed, he said:
"Bishop Williams smiles. What has
he to say about itf''
'tOnly this, said the old bishop,
"that the mess of Benjamin was found
to be greater than the mess Of any of
his brethren.'''
tThe humor of DR.. Williams, says
a friend, "was always present and
ready like the flash of sunlight. It had
one popularity, it never scorched nor
left scar behind.

lawyer who conducts the legal business
