JOHANNESBURG, Dec 1S.-Details of
the defeat of the British at Nooit-
gedacht indicate that General Glenn
ents' entire force had a narrow escape
from capture.
The Boer plans were splendidly laid.
If the main British column had tarried
little longer there would have been a
complete success for the Beers, who ex-
posed themselves undauntedly, yelling
and waving their arms. Their rushes
were only stemmed by artillery.
After the British retreat the Beers
held a prayer meeting. Their hymns
could be heard by the retiring British.
All accounts indicate a heavy Boer
loss
Colonel Logge exhibited splendid
bravery. He shot five Beers with his
revolver before he fell with three bullets

To the surprise of many, corn is easily

bushels of corn, yet this is the great

Abraham Lincoln.

When leaving his home ut Spring
field. H., to be inaugarated President
of the United States, made a farewell
address to his old friends and neigh
bOrs, in which he said, "Neighbors give
your boys a chance"
These words come with as much
force to-day as they did when Lincoln
spoke them.
Up in the northwest is great empire
waiting for young, and sturdy fellows

land are the young fellows, the boys
Lincoln referred to, seek to better

The country referred to lies along
the Northern Pacific railroad. Here
YOU can find pretty much anything
you want. In Minnesota, and in the
Red River Valley, of North Dakota,

As for scenic delights the Northern
Pacific railroad passes through conn
try unparalleled. In crossing the
Rocky and Cascade mountains, the
greatest mountain scenery to be seen
in the United States from car windows
is found. The wonderful bad lands,
wonderful in graceful form and glow

Orsille and CGur IL Alene, are alone
worthy of trans continental trip. The
ride along the CLARK Fork of the Col
