Lord Methuen is skirmishing with the
Beers at Warrenton, 167 miles away.
Although seemingly in force sufficient
to do pretty much as he likes, he has
not advanced these five days 1t is
hoped that his military administration
has a pleasant surprise in preparatio
for the Britishers by raising the siege
with strong column of cavalry and ar
tilery detouring to Mafeklng, while
Commandant Snyman is drawn off to
engage Colonel Plumef.
General French's cavalry and mount

fighting somewhere east of Boemfon-

ChiIdren's Day IN the Presbyterian
Church.

The second Sunday in June is set
apart as Children's Day and is so
observed not only throughout the
length and breadth of our own land
but also across the seas in climes
far different from our own, The
beautiful thoughtfumess seen in the
Inauguration of the day is still pres
ent in it's observance. Last Sabbath
evening the children of the Presby-
terian church had their service, and
in keeping with the purpose of the
day exercises were in the main byt
the very little folks. There were
sunbeams and flowers in song and
recitation as we'll as in the decora-
tions and spirit, and the children
having learned their parts were
ready to give them to their parents
and older friends. The carols were
very pretty and well sung, and
many a beautiful thought was left
in the hearers hearts by the children's
recitations, @

The Line Wholly Obliterated.

Mason and Dixon's line may now be
said to be completely obliterated. The
war with Spain, it is true, almost
wiped out the imaginary dividing line,
which was a heritage of our civil war,
but it was not completely effaced until
the state of Indiana, with great chivalry
and magnanimity, returned to Texas
the battledag of Terry's Texas rangers,
which was captured by the Seventeenth
Indiana regiment. The flag has hung
for SO or more years on the walls of the
Hoosier statehouse and was a few days
ago returned to it's vanquished owners
with appropriate and pleasing cere-
monies.
It does not matter how the flag was
captured; it's return is graceful
act, which strengthens the brotherly
feeling between the sections once divid-
ed by the Mason and Dixon line The
reason the Seventeenth Indiana hap
pened to take the flag was because it
was the first regiment that came along
near the fence where the Terry rangers
had hung out the banner to dry. It is
true that the rangers had been COM
PEELED to move on before they had time
to gather up their belongings. 1t is also
true that the banner was not snatched
red handed in the fury of the fray from
the soldier who bore it while leaden
missiles were riddling it's blood stained
folds But all this has nothing to do
with the main facts, nor does it lessen
the courtesy and good fellowship of the
Hoosiers in returning the flag. .~-...
