is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal

HIS SEPTENNIAL BATH.

This entry of Herouard's, says Mrs.
Lucy Crump in the Atlantic, in its
way is as striking as anything in the
book: 20 August, 1903. Bathed for the
first time, put into the bath, and
Madame with him. He rubbed himself
with the vine leaves" The Dauphin
was seven, and Madame" as Eliza
beth was always called, a year young
er. True an entry in his fourth year
testifies to the fact that he had his
feet washed with damp cloth; when
he was six, Herouard says: "They
washed his feet in tepid water in the
Queens basin It was the first time"
But such events are rarely recorded.

GEN. JOE wHEELER's CHARGER
Superb War Horse Travelling From
Manila to Washington City.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch says: A
superb appearing black horse arrived
ct Union Station Wednesday night in
O comfortable stock car attached to a
Missouri Pacific train. He couldn't
have had more luxury and more at
tention shown him had he been trav-
cling in q Pullman coach behind, for
he was Joe, the war charger of Fight
ing Joe Wheeler, and every man Of
the train crew felt that a national
character was In his safe keeping.
With e. B. Vaclenstein, veteran OF

to look after his ell-belng, Joe is en-
route from Manila to headquarters,
which is to say, Washington. He was

THE BoERs ARE FLEE1He.
Retreating Rapidly to the North and
East, Closely Pursued By $4,000
Infantry-Abandon Strong
Defences.

LONDON, Thursday, March s-Lord
4oberts has again outfianked the
Beers and Free Statere, and they are
retreatiDg rapidly to the north and
east, closely pursued by a strong
force of British cavalry and horse
artillery, while NO less than 10000
infantry are following In their track.
Frontal attacks, he reports, would
have been costly. as the Burghers had
constructed strong positions, but
French's cavalry succeeded in ac-
compIishing turning movement.
The Beers, who were commanded
BY De Wet and Delaney, Immediately
began q retreat, with the cavalry and
horse artillery in pursuit, the infantry
following rapidly.
The Boer withdrawal seems to have
been conducted In good order.
The British suffered so casualties.
Roberts says that the Beers were
not expecting flank movement and
that when their communications with
Bloemfontein were threatened they
took to flight withous making stand.
The British flying column has trav-
creed Zululand and entered the Trans-
vaal after several brushes with small
Boer parties.
The Beers attribute their with
drawal from Ladysmith to mistake
made by one commandment In retiring
from the key to their main defense
south Of Ladysmith.
The Beers have retired to their Big
gersberg deienses In Natal, south Of
Dundee. Part Of the force investing
Ladysmith went to the Drakensberg
passes.
In retreasing they blew up every
bridge and culvert along the railway
and set fire to the Elandslaagte col
lieries.
Brabsnt's force has captured Boer
fort at Dordrecht.
The relief OF Ladysmith cost Butler

THE PROPOSED CANAL.
Senator Davis Would Protect 1t in
Time of War Secretary Hays
Opinion.

The St. Louis Republic, in summarize
ing the proposed Nicaragua Canal
legislation, covers the matter as fol-
lows:
The Hay -Pauncefote treaty, as or
iS::-..;i;y presented, does not permit
the United States to blockade or forufy
the proposed canal.
Senator Davis amendment would
permit the United States, II America
properly were threatened, tolprotect
it with ships and by landing men and
munitions Of war.
Secretary Hay says that, while
Britain might not object to this, the
other European Powers probably
would do 90.
The contention is that England
tricked the other Powers signatory to
the suez Canal treaty by securing for
Egypt the right Of defending that
canal, and then obtained suzerainty
over Egypt.
Europe, therefore, the argument
proceeds, suspects that America in
tended to annex Costa Rics and Mica
regua or establish protectorate over
them. in order to have the right in In
ternational law to land troops to de-
fend the canal, as without such pro-
tectorate this nation could not do 90.
The department finally points out
that in order to carry out the provis-
ions of tae Davis amendment an
alliance with England would be nec-
essary.
Resentment and distrust OF Ameri-
can intentions is aroused in Mica
ragua and Costa Rlca by the State
Departments method of reasoning.
