Story Of a Slave.

To be bound hand and feet for
years by the chains of disease is the

how such a slave was made free.

not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters,
she is wonderfully improved and

CHRISTMAS WISH.

K. Mnnkittrink in the December Woman
Home Companion.
I Wish that good old Santa
Would travel like q show.
And to his tent of p~laythings
For nothing let me g.;
And take along my stockings,
To fill in laughing glee
With all the things he fondly
Hangs upon tbs Christmas tree.
I'd see the pasteboard camel
Wink at the kangaroo;
I'd see the Caina wombat
And quagea chase the gnu;
III see the rubber Ostrich
Serenely blink his eye
To see the monkey capture
The peanut on the f.,
And then I'd see old Santa
With all his books and rhymes;
I'd grab him by the whiskers
And kiss him fifty times
And on his back 60 riding
Beneath the fairy dome.
And with a lot of piaythings
Go running gaily home.
IT'S then I think old Santa
Should up and 60 away.
And in some other village
Pu. mp his tent next day;
And then go on still further,
Further still and still,
To let all lovely children
Their great big stocking FILL
'Twould always be Christmas.
All musical with JOY.
And bending tree and turkey
And hobby horse and toy:
For while upon histravels
Old Santa'd scatter cheer;
He'd make a Christu as somewhere
Each day throughout the year.

Tide Turning.
The Beers Have Licked the British
Dat of Their Boots.

The Beers Have Licked the British
Dat of Their Boots.
Daring the past week the Seer aud
British have fought an important
b title at Margersfontien, in which
the British were whipped completely
ont of their boots. The British
forces were under the command Of
General Methuen, and ran upon the
en.renched Beers before the presence
of the enemy was discovered. In
the fight that ensued there was a
crest slaughter of the British. one
regiment, the Highlsnders, losing
some 600 men, aud were compelled
to retreat to Modder River. The fol-
lowing is an account OF the latest
operations in South Africa:
London, December Is, 4:45 a. m
The war Office is still without news
from Ladysmith other taar that al
ready published. The general belief
was that the large Beer forces Lord
Methuen encountered at Magersfon-
tein were partly drawn from Natal
and that General Butler will strike a
blow before these have time to re-
turn.
The stories circulated yesterday
that General Butler and General
Clery had entered Ladysmith and
captured 10000 Beers are totally
without confirmation.
The war Office has heard nothing
of the relief of Ladysmith and do
not credit the reports, saying that
the relief of the place at such an
early date is believed to be practi-
cally impossible.
Modder River, Cape Colony, Tues
day, December ~ DE gathered
here by a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press among the wounded
Bri;izh and Beers give some idea of
the desperate nature of the fight at
Margersfontein. The Highlanders
did all that the NEST gallant troops
in the world could do, but it vas i'm
possible to face the terrible fire of
the Beers. The British artillery
again saved the situation and divided
the honors of the day with with the
Scots. The batteries worked for
hours under a CALLING FIRE.
According to the Boer stories it
was impossible for the burghers to
have escaped fearful loss. One Boer
prisoner said q single lyddite she'll
killed OF wounded over 10 and that
two other shells burst over two
bodies of Beers enscounccd behind
the range, doing fearful damage. All
agree that the Beers fought through
out with the utmost gallantry. Their
sbarpshooters seldom missed tie
mark.
A Seaforth Highlander says that
while he WAS lying wounded on the
field be saw a Boer of typical Ger
man appearance, faultlessly dressed,
with polished top boots, a skirt with
silk rufles and a cigar in his mouth,
walking among the sand hills picking
off the British. He was quite alone
and it was apparent from the fte-
uuent use be made of field glasses

STAB IN THE BACK
A Mysterious Affair on
Nuuanu Street.
Jennings. a Stevedore. As.
son-PoIice Uncertain.

John Jennings, a stevedore in the
employ of the Oahu Lumber-yard Com
pany, was stabbed in the back last
night shortly after 6 o'clock, the ARRAY
occurring at the corner of Nuuanu and
Beretania streets, just below the Jap
anese barber shop at that point. The
first intimation the police had of the
murderous assault vas given when the
victim walked ~unsteadily into the po-
lice station, where he asked to be taxi
en- under police surveillance. AS the
man entered the station-house he was
weak and fainting from loss of blood,
and two officers sprang Immediately to
his assistance to prevent him sinking
to the ground.
An examination was at once begun
and brandy was given to the mar to
sustain him. Blood was flowing CO.
pfOusly from the wound, which had al
ready saturated his clothing. When the
waist-band of his trousers was loos-
ened a large quantity of blood flowed
TO the floor.
A large, ugly vertical cash was dis
covered an inch and a half long at the
waist to the left of the spine and di-
rectly over the left kidney. The officers
made a compress bandage, closing the
wound and preventing further loss of
blood, and he was Immediately sent to
the Queens Hospital on a stretcher in
the patrol wagon, attended by Doctor
Emerson, and at midnight was reported
as resting comfortably.
Thrn10hn1rf tho r, in afinn 0t tho
police station the victim showed much
reticence about the affair, disclaiming
any knowledge whatever of his assail-
ant or the motive for the deed. He
claims he was walking down Nuuanu
street and just after passing the Bere-
tania street cOrner was suddenly set
upon and the murderous blade driven
into his back, the would-be assassin
escaping before he had any opportu-
nitv to discover his identity. He then
walked the entire distance from the
point where he was assaulted to the
police station.
What deepens the mystery is the
fact that he made no cutlery, nor did
he endeavor to find a police of1cer
along that street or even ask the as
sistance of a bystarder, Nuuanu street
at the hour the affair occurred being
filled with people. Yet there appears
to have beer no eyewitness. All these
facts, and the mans reticence, seem to
indicate a desire to nrevent .Ae police
from following up what meager cleWs
they are in possession of; and there
seems to be an opinion prevailing in
police circles that the stabbing may
have been done in some other locality
than that stated by the man.
Jennings came to Honolulu on an
army transport about a year ago and
is at present employed as a longshore-
