he was expelled by way of Bloemfon-
te1n. says that when he left Pretoria,
all the stores there were carrying on
business as usual and President kru-
ger was still there. He did not see any

success of the Boer army, saying that
Kimberley and Mafeking are expected
to fall at any moment, while Bechuana-
land is conquered and that the burghers
are continuing their victorious march
south, capturing British prisoners and
stores

Elandslaagte was reverse for the
Beers, who lost 80 killed. had many
wounded and that So Beers were made

of Natal is already practically In their

Orange river and that the British nag
would never again float there unless
hosted over the dead bodies OF the

According to Colonel Wright's stud
les of the census, 1.-The rich are grow
ing richer; many more people than
formerly are growing rich; and
the poor are growing better
off. Statistics prove that while
the proportion of persons engaged in
unskilled and poorly paid labor re-
mains nearly stationary the proper
ton employed in skilled and semi-pro-
fessional pursuits, which bring higher
wages, steadily advances. He illus
trates from Boston the improved dis
tribution of wealth. In that city the
rich men of 1924 were relatively richer
than now. Then nine large taxpayers
owned eight per cent of the property;
now the nine largest own less than
four per cent In 1S45 the three hun
dred and thirty-three richest men own
ed larger proportion than twelve
hundred Of the richest citizens of to-
day. This is good as far as it goes,
and we can stand some more of it.

Der insensible. When the Harvard

The talk of complicated mechanism
still further emphasizes the passing of
