that never a drop has passed down
their throat.
They never had such examples set
before them. Neither have they
ever been found In such company.

you to make this correction in your

HO WKIMBERLEY WAS PROVES
 TONED

HO WKIMBERLEY WAS PROVIS-
 IONED.
 It must have occurred to many read CTS of the telegrams and messages from Kimberley to wonder how it came to pass that the place contained food sup plies sufficient to maintain population i of some fifty thousand for four months. Mrs. Mcguire helps us to understand the matter. The De Beers company, anticipating trouble, had laid in large stocks of foodstuffs and general sup plies as well as of coal. Many resi- dents had in the same way provisioned themselves for long period. Then. the town is a distributing center for an im- mense extent of country and does a large business in foodstuffs. The new crops of mealies and Kaff1r corn were, fortunately, on the market rather earli- CT than usual, and the Kimberley gran aries were more than usually full. Some further foodstuffs were stopped iii tran sit, and there were even thousand bags of maize mail consigned to the Transvaal government which its own operations caused to be detained for the benefit of the garrison. The De Beers COlllpdHy, moreover, HaQ SOInP three thousand cattle, and when the cattle were eaten there were many horses to fall back upon.
 Thus, by what may be regarded as a series of happy incidents, Kimberley was able to "muddle through" and in fact, could have held out a few weeks longer, though, of course, under stress of terrible privations. Apparently the thing to be most seriously feared was the giving out of coal and water. The Boers very early in the siege cut off the water supply from the Vaal river but here again the De Beers company came to the rescue by pumping water from the mines, In many other ways that great corporation made its influence beneficially felt. It's refuse heaps were the breastworks of the town, it's gal leries were bombproof shelters for panic stricken women with their little ones; it's coal not only supplied water but worked the searchlghts; it's machine shops, under the direction of Mir La bram who was most unfortunately kill cd by Boer shell, turned out a big gun, some three thousand shells. an armored train and several ormored locomotives, besides aiding the defense in a thousand minor ways.
