PLANS OF SIR REDVERS BULLER
1t is evident that Sir Redvers Butler. who
was the real organizer of the army corps be-
fore he left England. is seeking to keep the
divisions and brigades together as far as possi-
ble and to avoid recastng them The bat
talions belonging to the Second and Third divi-
sions allowed to land on their arrival at
Cape Town. and only those transported with
the troops of the First Division are ordered to
proceed to Durham. Optimists predict that the
relief column will be strong enough by the end
of this week to advance on Colenso. but the
more cautious experts agree that 1t will be
twelve days before the infantry can push for
ward toward Ladysmith. and even then there
will be an irregular mounted force in place OF
the cavalry brigade. Sir Redvers has always
had the reputation Of being pre-eminently an
infantry soldier, but he can hardly receive
credit for deliberate intention to send relief
column to Ladysmith without an adequate
force of cavalry. AS the Armenian arrived
yesterday at Cape Town with three batteries
of field artillery and an ammunition train, the
First Division of the Naval Brigades 12-pound
ers now at Durham. will be effectively reinforced
in three or four days.
Although over ten thousand fresh troops have
on the Nubia. at least fortnight must elapse
before either Ladysmith or Kimberley can be
relieved. if they in extremity. of which there
is no sign.
The War Office bulletins from the Cape
more diffuse than formerly since the military
authorities appreciate the publics anxiety for
news, now that the press correspondents are
bottled up. While the official information is
more satisfactory than the vague reports Of the
booming Of guns at Ladysmith heard from a
distance at Estcourt. it involves constant fight

INFLUENZA FROM OZONE.
Pure Air from Lake Michigan Gave
an Investigator nm Extreme
ly Hard Cold.

On one occasion the present writer
walked to the edge of Lake Michigan
when a strong wind was blowing right
from the lake. The bodily condition
was as near perfect as could be, says
Popular Science, and yet in less than
five minutes there was every evidence
of having caught an extremely hard
cold. The severe influenza continued
until, on walking away, in less than
500 feet, it disappeared as If by magic.
1t is very certain that the tempera-
ture had nothing to do with this, nor
the wind, but the influenza was direct
ly due to the abundant ozone in the
air. BY inquiry it was learned that
hundreds of residents who had lived
upon the immediate edge of the lake
had been obliged to move back three
or four miles in order to relieve them
selves from such experiences. Physi-
clans readily admit that it is not al
ways possible to say why one
catches" cold; it certainly cannot al
ways be because of undue exposure
or change in temperature, but prob
ably also to changes in the electric
condition of the air. Facts of this
kind should lead to the EXTREMIST eau
ton in studying any supposed rela-
ton between the weather and health.

the Menardville road extricated itself from
the scattered jacals of Fort McKavett and
headed out for the open prairie. 1t was
early morning of the oath of December, 1895.
Wells had freshly risen from an unappetiz-
ing and indigestible breakfast Of grease-sod-
den tortillas and rancid bacon; had quar-
relied with the hotel keeper over his eXtor
honate charges for the last nights lodging:
was hungry; angry with the sharp sleet that
came drifting against his face from the
northeast; angry with the internal luck"
that doomed him to wander over the wild
prairies of southwestern Texas while the
rest of mankind were happily preparing for
the holiday festivities; angry at the abomin-
able cabbage-leaf cigar which refused to
yield him solace from his woes; angry with
the world at large and-just at that moment
with the disreputable looking "Greaser"
before him in particular.

Where are they? Are they counterfeit! Z!

The Mexican gravely held them forth in
his dirty palm for inspection.
"They are gold, senior. They were given
me by the American, Senior Black-who
sends the meat OF goats across the seas in

that drove from the Rio Concho."
Wells regarded the Mexican with a search

bill, and l think ! saw you last night at the
store where / bought those cursed cigars. /
believe you want to learn if l have money,
so you can relieve me Of it farther out on the
plains"
The object of Wells distrust threw his
arms aloft in humble depreciation.

tears.

responded the old ranchman, "My child, the

days. / have fought, in my time, with brave
men to lead me on to battle, and tell you
there is nothing in soldiering-nothing but

Later in the night, when Wells and Little
Hank were snugly slowed away in the lat.
ter's bed, the question of Santa Claus and
the "windchestcr" came up again, but no
lengthy discussion followed.
1t must have been sometime after mid.
night when Wells was partially aroused by
the knowledge that some one was moving in
the room, and called out to know who il
might be.
"Nobody but me-Hank Grimm. Not
gran paw, but the little one. You know"
But that was quite enough for the SOM
nolent gentleman from San Antonio. If the
sentence was finished he failed to hear its
conclusion. Sometime afterwards, however,
ne was aroused again; and this time so thor
oughly that he heard and understood the
words that awoke him. They evidently
came from the living room" into which his
apartment opened, and were uttered at the
top of Little Hanks childish treble.

BURIED TREASURE.
Hidden Gold Over which a Blind
Negro Rnved for Thirty
Five Years.

There is an old negro, Uncle Tom Wes-
ton, down on the Florida side of the
Okefinokee swamp, who has raved for
35 years about buried treasure which
he is unable to recover. He says. reports
the Cincinnati Enquirer, his old master
buried $4,000 in gold during the civil
war when Sherman's army was march
ing through Georgia. He carried the
treasure box for his master and dug
hole in the swamp in which the gold was
buried An accident made him blind
before the war and he was not able to
see where the treasure was concealed.
His master died during the war without
recovering the gold and left no instruc-
tions concerning it. Uncle Tom has
suffered from rheumatism for many
years and is cripple. Though he is
blind and crippled, Uncle Tom has made
many trips to the swamp in quest of the
hidden treasure, only to be disappoint-
ed. The old man is afraid somebody has
already recovered it, as he understands
several parties instituted search. He
is the oldest negro in the Okefinokee
region, and he sits on his door sill all
day long wondering about the buried
treasure and sorrowing because he must
die without succeeding in recovering il.

his feet. Turn loose the dog, gran paw, or
he will git away. It's Santa Claus, and I'm

that Santa Claus was an Arkansaw man."
Wells turned from the excited boy and
approached the open window. Below it, and
directly to the right, the whitewashed walls
were torn and disfgured with shot, and
there were great splotches and dark, trick
ling streams of something like red paint
shining in the light OF the lamp.
He turned to the old German; his fea-
lures pale but collected.
"You will not need the dog" said he.
"The man who tumbled through that win
dow is lying where he fell-and I think |
will recognize him when l see him."
Wells was right il both his surmises. In
'layin' fer Santa Claus" Little Hank had
tsken step that no midnight marauder
could have foreseen. In forcing an entry to
Grimms ranch, the Mexican goat-herder,
who had traied Wells all the way from Me-
kavett, had gone directly to his death, He
lay outside the window, as he had fallen
when the bulk of two loads of buckshot had
struck him, and when Little Hank gazed
into his dead face, its pallor more ghastly
still in the lamplight, he screamed and stag
gered back, covering his eyes with trembling
