London, Dec. 2, 6 a. m.-General Kitchener's
first bulletin is businesslike and terse. II is
dated from Bloemfontein. and opens with sum-
mary OF Knox's rear guard action and pursuit
Of De Wet and Settles attack upon Hertzog. It
leaves Knox in touch with De Wet twelve miles
north Of Bethue, and confirms the impression
that Kitchener will hunt down the most dan
gerous Boer leader by relays OF mounted men.
continually reinforced and relieved. The capt
ure of De Wet and Steyn is clearly the first
great stroke which he has in mind. and the same
tactics Of sending out mobile columns OF a thou
fand and keeping them IL Inotiou on the
trail Of the commanders will be adopted else
where. This is indicated by his account OF
Paget's severe fighting with vljoen and Eras-
mus, and his comment that Lyttleton is co-onsr-
ating with the British flying column. The
cess OF the Boer leaders in keeping their forces
in the field when they have been cut off from
every base Of supplies is explained by veteran
soldiers on the theory that there are secret stor
age places for provisions and ammunition TO
which they return from time to time. II this

The two trains came together with an

however, was a matter which would have

As soon as those who were uninjured could
extricate themselves from the wreck they
turned manfully to the work of rescuing

1t was sickening sight. Cars were heaped

Toned under seats, beams and trucks. Steam

rails of the track were warped and torn
loose from the ties, and the means and cries
Of the injured could be heard afar off.
Finally, after long, hard work, the res
cuers reached the bottom of the mass, where
the legs and body of a man protruded from
beneath twisted platform. Beside him lay
cane decorated with colored ribbons, and
a long tin horn.
Fearfully and anxiously a score of strong

All, Deathl Thou strange, wierd and
nameless mystery. We all bow to thee,
for thou art king, and as we have lived
so will thou rule over us: if in sin, then
thou wilt stalk into our presence as a
hideous phantom and mock us in our
misery with thy sightless eyes, and
clutch at our threats with thy feshless
hands: if in virtue and faith, then thou
wilt hover over our couch as an Angel
of Light, kissing do our eyelids as
gently as mother kisses to sleep her
loving child, and when the shadows
fall about US thou wilt sprinkle the
gloom with countless stars of hope.

SOUTH AMERICA.
A Country About Which Most OF
Us Are Very Much in Ig-
nOrRnce.

Suppose you close your eyes and
frame to yourself an answer to this
question: what do 1 know about
| South America"
The chances are that the conclusion
will be that South America is a large
| piece of land below us inhabited by
some nations who have revolutions
every three or four months.
But go to your cyclopaedia or your
geography and you will find that South
America amounts to something big in
every sense of the term. 1t is a great
continent with millions of people, with
untold richness of undeveloped wealth,
and with a commercial importance that
we have never adequately appreciated
"a vast extent of country $500 miles
long and, at its widest part, 5000 miles
broad. With an area of 1000, 600 square
miles it comprises almost every variety
of product and of climate that the
world can offer, says the Saturday
Evening Post.
Ten republics and three colonies oc-
cupy this magnificent continent. In
spite of all the sensational reports that
man life is as safe as in any other part
of the world, and the average of happi-
ness is as high. They may not have
the luXuries and the comforts of the
most advanced civilization, but there
are happy homes, and the people grow
old gracefully.
Physically, South America is one of
the most interesting and amazing Of
continents. 1t has the longest range
of mountains in the world. 1t has the
largest rivers. Think of a river navi..
gable for $500 miles, or almost as far
from the Atlantic to the Pacific across
the United States, and you will get
some idea of the magnificent length
of the Amazon. Think of plains that
stretch for illimitable miles and you
get an idea of the vast prairies of Bra
I'll and the Argentine Republic.
Mention gold and you probably viii
not realize, at the first thought, that
South America has furnished more Of
it to the world than California. in
fact Brazil itself goes ahead of Cali
fornia's total, and, to add to it's record,
it has furnished many thousands of the
diamonds that are now worn. In otIe
mineral wealth South America is WON
derfully rich. 1t has silver. copper,
platinum, lead and iron, and the mines
have only begun to furnish their treas
ures.
In climate and in all the things that
make for the welfare of mankind South
America is wonderful. South Africa |
with its wealth cannot compare with it, !
And the friendship and the trade OF
the millions of people who occupy this
continent are of great Importance to
any nation.
