though there is no reason to doubt
the authenticity Of the report that
Kruger has evacuated the place and
that the municipality is ready TO sur

Though the British seem certain to
reach Pretoria within a day or SO,
they are not likely to occupy it with
out fighting. Lord Roberts forces will
be placed 10 the south, west and north

ton of the Free State by no means
implies its paciication.
So thoroughly is the ountr here
imbued with the belief that Pretoria
has fallen that Mr.. Joseph Chamber

says il has received cable dispatches
this afternoon from correspondents at
Pretoria completely confirming Lord
Rosslyn's dispatch Of yesterday an

Roberts, it is said, will issue a procla-
nation denouncing the malicious ia
bles regarding the Intentions of the
British n announcing the terms of
surrender, which are the guaranteeing
of immunity to all non-combatants,
and that all burghers excepting those
who are actively connected with the
promotion of the war, directing opera

other acts contrary to civilized war,
will be allowed to return to their farlls

surrender of their arms and on taking
an oath not to fight again. Private

providing British property is not
damaged. If British property is al

thorities permitting the damage will
be held responsible. All the inhabi-

IMAGINATIN AND DISEASE.

In "a Journalists Note Book" Frank
F. Moore tells an amusing and signifi-
can't story of the influence of magma
ton upon health, say the Youths
Companion. A young civil servant in
India, ceiling tagged from the excess
sive heat and from long hours of work,
consulted the best doctor within reach.
The DOCTOR looked him over, sounded
his heart and lungs, and then said
gravely: Il will write you tomorrow"
The next day the young man re
ceived a letter telling him that his left
lung was gone and his heart seriously
affected, and advising him to lose no
time in adjusting his business affairs.
"Of course you may live for weeks
the letter said, but you had best not
leave important matters undecided
Naturally the young official was dis
mayed by so dark a prognosis-nothing
less than a death warrant. Within
twenty-four hours was having diff
ficulty with his respiration n was
seized with an acute pain in the region
of the heart. He took to his bed with
the feeling that he should never arise
from it. During the night he became
so much worse that his servant sent
for the doctor.
What on earth have you been doing
to yourself?" demanded the doctor.
There We're no indications of this sort
when I "a o yesterday"
"It is my heart, I suppose" weakly
answered the patient

your heart was all right yesterday"
MY lungs, then"
What is the matter with you, man?
You don't seem to have been drinking
Your letter." gasped the patient.
You said I had only a few weeks to
live"
"Are you crazy?" said the doctor. Il
wrote you to take a few weeks vaca-
ton in the hills and you would be all
right"
Fol reply the patient drew the letter
from under the bedclothes and gave it
to the doctor.
"Heavens!' cried that gentleman, as
he glanced at it. This was meant for
another man. My assistant misplaced
the letters"
The young man at once sat up In
bed and made a rapid recovery.
And what of the patient for whom
the direful prognosis was intended?
Delighted with the report that a So
journ in the hills would set him right,
he started at once, and five years
later was alive and in fair health.

During the last couple OF weeks
much has been said against always
holding the annual Old Settlers pic
mic at Burdette. The main objection
seems to be that Burdette ia so far
away from the center OF the county,
and hence very few, il any from the
southern portion get to attend the
picnic. Now il some central point
like st. Lawrence, for instance, were
selected, it would draw people from
every part OF the county, and the
facilities for holding a picnic there,
easily exceed those at Burdette. or
any other place near there.
