Methuen's Men With Beers.
Belmont, Cape Colony, Nov. "a, 10
o'clock a. m.yThe entire western divis-
ion moved on Orange river Tuesday and
bivouacked at Witteputs. AT 2 in the
morning the guards of the brigade
moved steadily forward to the hill
few miles east of Belmont station. The
SCOTS and Grenadlers advanced to
within fifty yards of the base, when the
Beers poured in scathing fire, stag
gering the guards momentarily. But
quickly recovering. they returned dead
ly. hail into the Beers. The duel con-
tinued half an hour, when the artillery
commenced and the Beers evacuated
their front position and the Scots and
guards rushed the hill with. bayonets
and amid lusty cheers. The Beers fled
and succeeded in gaining the hills in
the rear, in spite OF the lancers' flank
ing movement. Possession was taken
of the Boer laager and the Boer stores
destroyed. The Beers hoisted the white
flag over their second position, where
upon Lieut.. Willoughby, of the Cold
stream guards, stood up and was i'm
mediately shot down. The Beers re-
peated the same tactics twice.
London, Nov. 24.-Stirring and i'm
portant news comes this morning from
the western frontier. Along with the
announcement that a strong position of
the Beers has been carried at the point
Of the bayonet, we have suggestive
news of the Beers leaving Natal for the

/ Let us, my good friends, always suit
our tools to the work to be done. We
do not trim our nails with broadswords
or carve statues with AIDES. Now a
word is tool, just as hoe is, or raz-
or. The figure of Liberty on quarter
of dollar is impressed there by ma
chine made for the purpose. By the
same token words were invented to i'm
print thoughts and ideas on the minds
Of others. And every word or express
sion has currency meaning OF its own
SO long as we refrain from using them
in a slack or careless way.
Just as the Lord Mayors coach, or
ones own best clothes are not intended
for every little trumpery occasion, so
great words should be reserved till the
time comes when nothing else will Go.
When man singes his whiskers by the
slovenly handling of lighted match,
we do not rouse UP the fire depart
ment.
Now the word "excruciating' is one
of the strongest words in the English
language. 1t tingles with sharp sign1tl-
canoe as a black cats back snaps with
electricity on frosty night. only
shallow people will take liberties with
this word. In our ordinary talk it does
not come properly into play once a
year; and rightly so. For it alludes to
kind of mental or physical suffering
that we desire to avoid thinking or
speaking Of. If the root meaning OF the
word "excruciating' escapes you for
moment lock it up in the dictionary. It
is word with a pedigree, and its an
cestors have supped with horrors since
men began to make history.
The question then that you and
have to settle is, whether Mr.. Geo. b.
Simpson employed this dignified and
exclusive word justiiably when he said
