lager, for, doubtless, he could not
keep up the vigorous cannonade with
which he started. Possibly the long
wait may be due to determination to
endeayor to starve out Gen. Cronje's
gallant force.
Other late Paardeberg dispatches

confirmation of the Durham report an

Decadence of Family Life.

There are other and graver facts of which can but hint here which prove how deep is the decadenoe of the old sacred family life, and how rapidly the instinct of motherhood is dying out among our women," writes An American Mother' in the April La dies Home Journal. '.One is the rapid and enormous increase of diyorces in this country, especially in the north eastern farming states. It IS not only the gay self indulgent husband and wife who tire of each other, but the plodding farmer and the woman who IS worn out with work. Another fact, even more tragic and significant, is the number of childless homes in the northern states. Hundreds of the oldest leading American families have become extinct in the last decade. The women of these families were notably active in public work. So large has been the decrease of births of American percentage in one section of this country that there is real danger that the native stock there will entirely die out. There are darker depths here winch l shall not un- cover.''

An Appeal to Better England

Jean de Bloch, author of the famous book ''The Future of War; points out in the North American Review for May why it would be England's wisest policy to stop the South African war now in spite of her apparent mili- tary advantage.
 He declares that it is only an ap- parent, not real advantage. As Roberts advances into the heart of the Transvaal wilderness he predicts that the fortune of war will necessarily change once more, and the gloomy outlook of last December and January will dash high hopes and evoke dread fears anew
 M. Bloch reaffirms his belief that a defensive force, fighting behind forti- tications on their own soil, may sue cessfully hold it's own against an in vading army eight times larger than itself" and points out that the data on which this belief is based ''are facts admitted by all military experts"
 Another and morally stronger req son why England should seize this op. portunity to end the war is urged by this eminent writer-who, by the way, is not censor but rather an admireI of the English people. "The white races under the sway of the Queen are all free," he says, and the British Elm pire is, as to them at least, "cementeC by morality instead of being held by ! fire and sword" Is it wise, he asks to make an exception of the Transvaa and create another Ireland in Souti | Africa?
 The question is pertinent and zoe | to the moral root of the whole conflict But where is GladstOne's better Eng land to give It rational answer? N ! Y. World.

A New York dispatch of May 1lth says: A London correspondent cables the following: Secretary Roots out burst concerning the Monroe Doctrine was not mere shot fired into space, as his subsequent explanation would seem to indicate. Its true history has been learned, and it is this: In course of the negotiations for the purchase of the Danish West India islands the Ger man government intimated to the Danish that Germany, in view of her future naval policy, desIred to pur- chase site for coaling station in the Danish West Indies, and that any deal with the United States should be sub feet to that condition. Germany can make herself disagreeable to Den mark in many ways, and the Danish government represented itself at Washington as being compelled to accede to Germany's demand or else abandon the idea of selling the islands to the United States. This was the origin of Mr. Roots apparently ab- stract warning. It can be further stated that Mr. Henry Whites present visit to Washington is directly con- nected with the question of the Danish West Indies. The negotiations were originated by him when he was charge d' affaires here, and he has gone over to do all he can to facilitate the carry | ing out of the transaction.

A Washington. D. c. dispatch to the New York Journal says: Republican leaders are greatly perturbed over the ruling of Federal Judge Lochren of Minnesota, in the Ortiz case, in which he expresses the opinion that the Con- stitution of the United States extends to Porto Rico by its own force and IS the law of the land. The administra- .ion leaders are afraid that the su- preme court may sustain this opinion between now and election. In the meantime the republican national plat form, which, to be consistent With the action of the majority in congress, must declare that the Constitution does not follow the flag, will have been put forth. With the law of the land decided by the courts to be the eyact reverse of the republican con tention the party leaders forsee pretty state of things. Their fears and hopes are both centered in the supreme court. If the case is delayed beyond election time by the higher court Judge Lochren's ruling stands as the law. That situation is recog' nized by the administration to DC nearly as bad as the upholding of the decision by the supreme court.

Cash Fares.
/ TALK WITH A CONDUCTOR.

There is little foundation for the
talk that is constantly heard about
railroad passenger conductors appro-
priating their cash collections, said
a well known conductor to an ARGUS
reporter. Years ago, before the cor
porations had gotten their business
down to the systematic basis that is
now in force, perhaps. all of the
money taken in on the runs was not
delivered at headq uarters. The temp.
tations were greater then. In those
DAYS now and then a conductor would
be dropped from the pay roll because
ne was discovered in the act of at
tempting to get wealthy quicker than
the stockholders. He was not obliged
to make the minute accountings tnat
are required now, and was not so liza
bic TO be detected.
Il believe the companies are begin
ming to realize it is no longer neces-
sary to continually keep spoilers dog
ging on the trails of their conductors.
for it is seldom we find one of those
sneaking individuals on a train. 1t is
not always possible to pick out the
spotter, for some of them are too
smooth in their work. but the MAORI
ty of them carry their sign On their
countenance and are recognizable the
moment they step into a coach. Those
fellows used to keep conductors busy
explaining themselves, but now, where
the companies have them in their en-
ploy at all, they require them to
prove their charges against conduc-
tor, for nine cases in ten the train

ARITHMETIC AND FOOD.
School Children Must Be Better Fed.


A young girl in Newport, Ind.
Miss Ethel Thornton, says no one has
better right to speak of Grape-Nuts
food than she. II was in school but
in poor health, until mamma began to
give me Grape-Nuts food. l began
10 improve at once, both mentally
and ply sically, and improved so in
my work at school that got 100 in
arithmetic, and during that time 1
gained three or four pounds in weight
and am still gaining.
There il no one has a right to
rec ommend the food more highly
than l. Mamma neglected to supply
it for about three weeks, and l began
to fail in health again, so l COM
menced the usd of the food over, and
now l don't intend to do without
Grape-Nuts on the table"
1t is well for parents to know that
GrapeNuts food contains selected ele-
ments from the grains prepared and
cooked in such way as to present
these food elements so that they can
be quickly digested and assimilated
the phosphate of potash obtained from
the field grains. and contained in
Grspe-Nuts unites with the albumen
of foods to quickly rebuild the gray
matter in the nerve centres and brain
1t is of the greatest Importance that
growing children and students be
given food that sustains both brain
and nerves.
