London, Nov. 97-None too soon for the
British has come the news of the i'm
proved outlook for them on both the
British and western sides of the South
Africa republic, as constant small re-
verses We're causing keen resentment
against the authorities here. This was
evidenced by the results of the Wads-
worth election of the London county
county council OH Saturday when the
previous conservative plurality of $40 was
converted into a liberal plurality of 232,
the conservatives having made the war

tary officer.
To General Methuen. it appears. be-
longs the honor Of the first real British
victory Of the present war as Belmont
was the first battle, after which the
British advanced instead of retreated.
The fact that General Methuen was fore
ed to fight a second pitched battle near
the scene of the first shows the Beers
Were demoralzed a Belmont, but quickly
rallied and with unabated courage met
a splendid assault of the British naval
brigade al Gras Pan.
The excellent military qualities dis
played by the Beers in these two fights
We're no doubt partially derived from the
training of Commandant Albrecht, for
mer officer of the Austrian army.
Presumably General Methuen has al
ready resumed his march northWard. He
was. when last heard from, still nearly
fifty miles from Kimberley. and doubt
less an action will have to be fought at
Modder river before Diamondopeies is re-
lieved.
There is some doubt as to what is
meant in the statement that the Beers
are falling back on Warrenton fifty
miles north of Kimberley. unless the dis
hands in the hope of misleading Methuen.
The latter, however. is said to be far too
cautious to be caught by such a trick
and it is added it can be confidently an
ticipated his column will sweep steadily
forward in spite of the determined resist
ance he will meet with.
The conclusion must be accepted, how
liberate in their misuse of white flags. On
top of Methuen's warning and other evil

The winds of March are dreary,
And the skies OF March are gray
It's lonesome in the night time,
And bleak through all the day;
But we'll scoff at winds ~bewailing.
And al sober skies the while.
For behind the gloom OF March days
Is April's sunny smile.
You can feel the glad time coming,
You can hear its velvet voice,
Singing songs SO full Of melody
They make your soul rejoice.
Oh. who minds rude Msrch's bluster,
Or who fears its treacherous guile,
When we know that soon we'll revei
In sweet April's sunny smile?

When DR.. Temple (now Archbishop
of Canterbury was the headmaster Of
Rugby, boy came up before him for
some breach of discipline, and the facts
seemed SO against the lad that he was
In imminent danger of being expelled.
He had a defence, but being neither
clear headed nor fluent in the presence
of the head-master, he could not make
1t clear. He therefore wrote home to
his father, detailing at length his po-
sisition and his explanation. His father
very wisely thought the best thing he
could do was to send the boys letter
as 1t stood to DR.. Temple, merely ask
ing him to overlook any familiarity OF
expression. Apparently the father had
not turned over the page and seen his
sons postscript, for there DR.. Temple
found the following words: III could
explain 1t would be all right, for
though Temple is beast. he is a just
beast" The bishop, in telling this
story. Is accustomed to say that it was
one of the greatest compliments he has
ever received in his life.

Millicent was pretty, with red lips, a

that artists copy and poets rave OF. and
Millicent had not quite given up her
little dream Of love and matrinony,
but Catherine never spoke Of such
things. Catherine was not absolutely

plain, with ordinary gray eyes. hair

And upon this particular December
afternoon, just as the girls were de-
ploring the monotony Of their daily
life, the postman tapped at the door
with letter.
"A letter." cried Millicent.
For me?" echoed Catherine.
And the cousins read it, with their
arms twined about one another and
their heads very close together.
Uncle George is dead in Austria
lia," gasped Millicent
"Oh, Milly-and he has left an or
phan boy!" added Catherine, the tears
trimming into her eyes. I'VE must
adopt him, Milly-we must bring him

Millicent drew back a little.

what coldly. Uncle George never did
anything for US.

Certainly do, said Catherine. ear

In that case" said Millicent, Il

But, Milly, your salary is larger

And do not mean to scatter 1t for
a mere chimera. This child has no
sort of claim upon either Of us. Let
the Australian authorities provide for
him"
And Millicent More could not be per-
suaded to take any other view of the
question than this. The next day she
told her cousin that she had made ar
rangements to secure a home with
Miss Keturah Bayley. who took "a
few select boarders,' in the next

And then Catherine sat down to
