Quite different from the pair back

golf. She has pointed out persons III

entertaining him she is mistaken. NO

ioy the music and he content with
merely her presence, but like most
foolish girls. she longs for reputation
for being entertaining.
.'She is fioundering terribly now. and
is reduced to a joke on the programme.
if she only realized it the poor man is
tired out. and she insists on draining
to the drecs what little vitality his

that for the first time she could under

BULLER RETIRES.
The British Suffer Another Repulse
From the Beers.

London. BY Cable-London accepts
as true the Boer statement that Gen.
eral Butler has failed again. These
statements were passed by the British
censor at Alden and are read in the
light Of Mr.. Balfour's announcement
in the Commons that General Butler
is not pressing his advance Mr.. Win.
ston Churchill wires that Vaal Krartz
was impracticable for the guns which
were needed to support further ad-
vance. His cablegrlm leaves General
Butler on Tuesday night sending a
fresh brigade to relieve the tired hol-
ders of Vaal Krantz. The descriptive
writers with General Butler were al
lowed rather free hand, again ex-
planning the ugly position which the
British held and the natural obstacles
which had to be overcome. So it is
easy to infer that with Boer r.famen
and artillery defending them, these
hills, ravines and jungles have not
been overcome, and thus the public
prepared in advance for bad news.
Heliograms from Ladysmfth, dated
Monday, describe the effect General
Buffers cannonade had on the worn
garrison. Hope ran high that the long
perIiod of inactivity and tediun was
drawing to close. The crash OF the
guns was almost continuous for 10
hours, and at times it seemed as if as
many as 20 shells burst in minute

possibility Of defeat, were driving

There have also been improvements made in the county building. The county commissioners believe that a tax should be levied. The last tax was quarter of one mill
 The building of a play room for girle at the county home and the building of q hospital building are also pro- posed On the third floor of the home room can be fitted up at the expense of about $1,000, which will furnish q play room for girls on stormy days.

Then I heard a twig snap not ten feet away from me, and gave one jump and at the same time l hollered halt and landed right in front of them and one of them went down on his knees and the other ran. I could have shot him but I had orders not to. Anyway got this one and he had a spear six feet long with a steel point and ma hogany handle. A little later l found bolo knife and it was ground down to a razor edge The major let the nigger go again and he kept the spear and l got the bolo.

 T feel as well as ever l have in my life. I have not been in any real scraps yet, but we expect to move down around linus, and if we do we are sure to have some fun. I have been fired on several times on outpost, but they were only trying to locate me. If I had returned the fire they probably would have got the range and plugged me. We took hike to Bosabosa one day and walked into the town and ran into a shack full of niggers in brand new uniforms We poured a volley into them and they returned the fire, but they all shot wild, for we took them by surprise, Then we deployed as skir- mishers and went through the town and drove all the niggers into the mountains. We dropped several of them but their friends carried them off. We did not have orders to take the town. We only went to find out if Captain Taylor had been there. We did not stay but went right back to where we left a squad of men with 8 eick man and camped for the night.
 There is lots of scrapping on the line around linus and santa Cruz, and part of our regiment is down there, They got our regiment all together and then split them up again.
