LONDON, Jan. SO.-History pauses for
time in South Africa It is one of
those unsatisfactory pauses that are
nearly as trying to British nerves as q.
sequence Of reverses and it will appar-
emily terminate only when Lord Rob-
erts gives the word for the forward
movement into the Free State, which.
according to the most cheerful view, he
will be unable to do for fortnight.
All hopes of the speedy relief of Lady
smith have been abandoned and the
consensus of expert opinion urges the
immediate shifting of the theater of war
from the rocky kopjes of Natal to the
open veldt of the Free State. One
thing appears certain-another long
pause is inevitable unless the Beers as
sumo the offensive, because, even in the
event of General Butler further attempt
ing to reach Ladysmith, the planning
of new move will necessarily occupy
time.

II was about six o'clock that after
noon when the sheriff put Ronald down
at home. Dave had ridden close be-
hind the buggy all the way. Now and
then, when passing some acquaintance
on the road or in a distant field, he
would wave his slouched hat and give
a veil that would have done credit to

rived at home he fastened the bride
reins TO post and sprang over the
fence into the yard. Old Fanshaw sat
nodding, half asleep, on the porch in
spot where the last rays of the slant
ing sunlight were falling; he was well
wrapped up in a ragged greatcoat and
wore a cap, the flaps of which COW
cred his ears.
"Ron's come cleer" Dave shouted to
him. and seeing his sister at the small
paned window, he yelled the same words
10 her.

John Bull and the Lion.

What could be more absurd than the
conventional types of the nations :
those types which we see and accept
almost every day? England is pecul-
iarly unfortunate. To express our ma.
tional characteristics we have choice
of two figures, either burly farmer or
a lion. The British lion gets some lit
tie support from heraldry. and the ma
tional vanity is 1attered by the anal
ogy of our powers to those of the king
of beasts. But otherwise how little ap-
propriateness there is in representing
us by an animal which most English
men have only seen in the degrading
captivity of a menagerie. which has
never within historical times inhabited
their islands and about which they
know almost nothing.
Considering also the chronically de-
pressed state of British agriculture, it
seems an ironical thing that the Brit
ish nation should be typified by farm
er. If he were a manufacturer or a
merchant or seaman, there would be
some appropriateness. but the stout

John Luther Long, the we'll known

the teller of many charming stories.
spent summer at a resort along the
New Jersey coast. On his way to his
home there he was obliged to stop over
one night at Seabright, and this story
is told of his little visit: He was recog-
nized by several people. and when he
entered the dining room one of them
came forward and asked him to occupy
a seat at his table. He was quietly
introduced as Mr.. Long, and his liter
airy reputation did not enter at all into
the presentations. He was placed be-
side very beautiful and charming
young lady. and after awhile the con-
versation developed somewhat as fol-
lows: "Mr. Long. your name is quite
familiar. l have run across it some
where very recently"
"There are great many Longs" he
said.
"No; but l mean that have read
something somewhere. Oh, yes; l
