How a Little Boy Was saved.

Washington, d. C.-sWhen our boy
was about 16 months old he broke out
with a rash which was thought to be
measles. In a few days he had a swell
ing on the left side Of his neck and
it was decided to be mumps. He was
given medical attendanceEsfor about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered a salve. He
wanted to lance the sore; but I would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months, when
the bunch broke in two places and be-
came running lore. Three doctors
said it was s%crofula, and each or
dered a blood medicine. A neighbor
told me of a case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. I decided to give it to
my boy and in a short while his health
improved and his neck healed sc NICE
ly that I stopped giving him the med
icine. The sore broke out again. how
ever, whereupon I again gave him
Hoods Sarsaparilla and its persistent
use has accomplished a complete
cure" MRS. NETTIE CHASE, AZ Z St.,

metropolis early in June. but the mag

hended until the Smith Costume Com
pany, of Minneapolis, was made Off
cial costumers for the affair and re-
ceived the first order, which was for
5000 costumes. The principal part of
the festival will doubtless be the
grand parade and ball which will be
held on the main street of the city.
This street, from the Great Northern
to the Northern Pacific depot, about a
dozen blocks, is very smoothly paved.
Bands will be stationed at each corner
and all will play the same tunes at the
same time so the dancers can go from
one end of the street to the other by
the same music. The affair will be in
progress three days and promises to
be the most elaborate ever attempted
by a town of that size.

Joubert. They praise his military
skill, uphold his chivalrous conduct,
and regret that SO strong and mod.
crate a mind should be absent from
the final settlement of the dispute.
Sketch of Joubert's Career.
fGen. Pietrus Jacobus Joubert, command
ant general of the Transvaal forces, bet
ter known as Piet Joubert, or "Slien Piet''
(Slim Peter), was born about 6S years ago.
He. was descended from an old French
Huguenot family which settled in South
Africa many years ago. He was born in
Cape Colony, but was taken by his par
ents, when seven years old, to the Or
ange Free State, where he was taught
from early childhood to shoot straight and
hate the British.
He is described as having been utterly
fearless. OF schooling, he had but little,
and he never saw a newspaper until he
was 10 years old. In spite of this, his am
bition prompted him to read the few books
he could obtain, and he succeeded in OBJ
tanning a fair knowledge of history and
languages.
Favored by the Natives.
In consequence of the acquisition Of
Natal by the British his family moved from
Natal and settled in the Transvaal. Sooa
afterwards he became a.burgher of the
Peo fiu q Aol III llH
er. 1t was claimed, in his behalf, that he
could lead a body of men more successfully
against hostile natives than any other
man in the Transvaal. He came to be
SO feared by the natives that the knowl-
edge that no was at the head of a punt
tive expedition usually resulted in their
surrender.
1t was during these wars with the ma
tives that Joubert became acquainted with
Paul Kruger, and the two men became
bosom friends. He was elected vice pre.i-
dent of the Transvaal in 1896, defeated Sir
George Colley at Majuba hill in 1881 anG
acted as president of the republic in 1885,
"a, during Kruger's absence in Europe.
Gen. Joubert was always II favor of the
use of force instead of diplomacy, ard
President Kruger on several occasions had
great difficulty in depressing his hot-head-
ed colleague. notably in 1879, when Jou-
bert, with Kruger and Pretorius, was
planning the rebellion to overthrow British
rule in the Transvaal. The result was
Ma1mba hill and the practical independence
of the Transvaal.
1t was Joubert who organized the army
OF the South African republic. later on
dividing the country into II military de-
partments, and each of these departments
into smaller divisions, with commandments,
held comets and l~ieutenants Of various
ranks In charge.
AeCoiulHS 10 the generals plans, every
man became a trained soldier without leay-
ing his farm, n had his equipment ready
at hand. To such a point of perfection
was the system carried that within as
hours after the present war was declared
the Boer nation was under arms.
Fire on British Camp.
Warrenton, March 29.-The Beers
opened fire with artillery and rifles on
the British camp Wednesday,. The
first shell burst while the fusileers
were at breakfast. A hail of bullets
poured into the village. Many cattle
were killed. A hotel that is used as a
hospital, and over which the Red
Cross flag was flying, was fired upon.
The attacking Boer force was large.

The ordinance bureau Of the United
States navy is now experimenting
with a new explosive called "marsite."
This new explosive, which is said to
have wonderful power can only be
exploded by the combined force of
percussion N concussion. Now some
onewill invent an armor that will
resist its force. Thus the fight has
gone on for centuries between armor
and armament, and SOFT will go on
until the end of all things.

We make way for the man who bold

Men are as old as they feel, and wom-
en- as they look.-Italian Proverb.
No woman can be handsome by the
force of features alone, any more than
she can be witty only by the help of
speech.-Hughes.
Adversely is sometimes hard upon a
man; but for man who can stand
prosperity, there are a hundred that
will stand adversity.-Carlyle.
I look for power in the man.; he af-
firms the dignity of the law; but the
woman rules, and she will continue to
rule, through grace alone.vSchiller.
A traveller at Sparta, standing long
upon oneleg, said to a Lacedaemonian:
IT do not believe you can do as much"
"True," said he, "but every goose can"

No nobler feeling than this, of adj
