room, and, going into an adjoining
one, manipulated contrivunce which
caused an articuated skeleton within
the cabinet to wiggle It's head and
limbs in an appalling manner iustas
the messenger boy opened the door.

When the doctor had enjoyed hearty
laugh, he picked up fine apple and
followed the boy into the street to
give II to him. "Come here, my boy!"

ham, briefly presented the government
defense, The allegations us to neglect
of the sick and wounded were frankly
admitted to be true to lamentable
extent, The disabled were exposed, he
said, 10 terrible hnrdshlps, but It IL
not due toanystnting Of supplies, but
TO the insuperable difficulties OF dis
bursting supplies, OF which there are
an embarrassing accumulation in
South Africa, Every demand on the
government in behalf of the troops,
he continued, had been complied with.
The officials in South Africa said
the hospitals had beds in excess OF the
demands, There were 5000 beds In
Natal and 10000 in Cape Town. There
were In Africa 400 army and 40 civ.
illan medical officers and $50 female
