/ GERS and Sc men.
| London. April 25.-The reports that
| the siege of Wepener had been pract-
| icaily raised We're apparently prema-
ture. The Boer attack upon Col. Dal-
| gety's northern position as described
| from Maseru, was probably final
| attempt to rush the garrison before
| securing a safe retreat. and as Col.
Dalgety successfully repulsed the at
tack. little further anxiety is felt on
| his account Lord Roberts has now
spread a net with some 10000 or more
men and 1a0 guns, covering the whole
western semi-circIe around Wepener.
While ten. Hamilton has occupied the
water works, practically without op-
position.
The Ith division. under Gen. Tucker,
assisted by naval guns, has made a
demonstration from karee Siding, the
Beers showing some opposition At
the same time a brigade moved out
from Glen to take up a position on a
range of hills ut Gennaadenale. north
OF the Modder. The waterworks We're
found undamaged. with the exception
of the removal of the sliding valves of
thue pumping engines
The Beers now can only escape
without rislling an encounter, north
ward of Ladybrand. and the chance of
a successful outcome of the plans of
Lord Roberts depends on whether the
British troops can reach Thaba N'Chu
and Lalybrand before the retreating
commanders from DeWets dorp and
Wepener. All the correspondents re
port that the roads are in a terrible
condition. which accounts for the slow
progress of the British columns and.
if the Beers are as we'll Informed of
the British, plans as they hitherto have
been, they are likely again 10 escape.
Ii is now within three weeks of the
date predicted for the occupation of
Pretoria. and. although the present
operations, as suggested in some quar-
tiers, may be the beginning of the
main advance. it is not certain that
they VIII not entail a further halt at

Pilkerton Won the Race.

At one Of the regattas of the Nation
al Association Of American Oarsmen
during the early nineties James Pilker-
ton, for many years the champion soul
Ter of America, was matched to row
double against another team. He and
his mate were the champions, and the
general belief was that they would win
without effort. But the night before
the regatta public opinion suddenly
and mysteriously changed. Mr.. Pill
kerton knew that this was not caused
by any new development Of strength
in his opponent or any loss Of skill on
his own part. After making some quiet
inquiries he discovered that there was
talk Of his rowing mate having been
bought up by the other side and of an
arrangement to throw the race.
He didn't say anything about his sus-
picions, but when the two men were
seated in the shell and were we'll out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
LOOK her, you blooming cutthroat!
You've got to swim, drown or win this
racei You know mew He won.-Sat-

'I don't mean wealthy people, for they

happy if his tie is all right.

Elso signed Kittie e, but were writ
en- from a masculine point Of view,

conclusion that was boy. He sent
me some very funny letters, and re-
piled, keeping up the idea that I was
very fresh, slangy boy. he accept
ed the verses, She Stood on the
Stair and they were published in a
Christmas number with q picture. As
this was only the second poem I had
sold in my life, you can imagine how
wildly anxious 1 was to have 1t ap-

quiries, for of course that was the
only poem on earth to me just then.

Tne pent,ut Is Polite.

a North Side dentist Is sure to be call
ed "a mean man" by some OF his wo-
men patrons when they learn of the
trick he has practiced upon them. Il
happens sometimes that even a rubber
dam will not stop the flow Of woman's
speech, and although the dentist, being
q young man, is not averse to a little
pleasant talk" now and then with q
patient, yet if she persists IN telling
him her personal or domestic history
iuring the filing Of tooth. hindering
the work, while other patients wait In
the anteroom, it's little trying to his
nerves and temper. The doctor is a DO
lite man; he does not ask the woman
to stop talking. but says gently:
Open your mouth. please"
There Is silence for few moments,
when the chatter begins again.
open wider please" says the den
list, more persuasively than before,
and the work goes on rapidly enough
until the patient seeing her opportuni-
ty starts in again where she had left
off in the tale Of everyday woes. The
clock strikes the hour of the next ap-
pointment. The dentist seizes the most
terrible Of all his instruments, his look
becomes threatening and his voice too:
Please. now, open your mou very
wide." The ruse succeeds, and the
startled but unsuspecting woman
stretches her mouth into an abysmal
yawn that precludes the possibility Of
even a whisper.
It's mean trick.-Chicago Tribune.

Nature as an Armorer.

There are few departments of hu-
man life where man has been so en-
tirely anticipated and at the same time
surpassed by the lower animals as in
the invention of armor.
His cunningest devices of the mailed
fist order were none of them original.
If you examine fine and fully devel-
oped suit of plate armor in the form
which 1t assumed at It's highest zenith
in the fifteenth century, you will find
that the trunk and limbs were COM
pletely inclosed in a splendid fitting,
jointed case Of iron plates, all exqui-
sitely polished. The suit as a whole
was a triumphant product of the ar
morer's art.
Yet If you look at a lobster's tail you
will see at a glance that all these clev-
er devices Of mans imagining had
been invented and patented long be-
fore by nature and that the elaborate
workmanship of the Plantagenet
craftsmen who cased knight and horse
for the battlefield or the tournament in
glistening metal was but poor imita-
ton of the ineffable skill with which
the unheeded crustaceans of the time
protected every vulnerable portion Of
their bodies from the assaults and at
tacks Of their submarine enemies
