ROSA BoNHEUR's PET SHEEP.

When Rosa Bonheur began her ar

closet she kept a sheep, at that time

from a pet lamb, and which a younger
brother was required to take out sew

But after a time the animal became
too large for the boy to carry. when
he contrived a pair OF mittens, stuffed

hold of the forefeet and making the
brute walk noiselessly on its hind legs.
It is said that the animal, after time,
would fairly caper with delight the

mittens before going out. in anticipa-

Prince OF pleasant woodland WAYS
Jouster In his ladys praise.
Singing ike a troubadour. Or
Happy IN the sweet Amour. -
All around his broad demesne
Stretches glossy bright and green;

Linked with light and liberty.

Through great gardens faint with musk,
Thronged with trees Of golden fruit,
And so won his armor suit

The English are mot fighting the

The Beers are not capable Of waglng such
campaign as the one. now in progress
without assistance from those who under
stand the science of military tactics bet
ter than they do, Their method of fight
Ing Is that Of the open field work. and
they are not shrewd in the science Of mil
itary tactics of successful warfare. I
served under Lord Methuen in South AZ
RIGA, and well remember the conditions
there at that time. Things are practical
ly the same now as they were then. Lord
Methuen is certainly an able officer, and
L am at a"loss to account for;S the de-

which he was led into tbs trap a Short
time ago. L am ofsthe ssopinfon, however,.
that the guides who, were employed by
him proved treacherollss and awere re-
sponsible for the blunden. 81 s.
The English are at disadvantage
in fighting Beers, due to the condition Of
the atmosphere in that; country In the
first place, the surface of the country Is
mountainous, but level. There are plat
eaus, and they are surrounded by noun
tain ranges. These plateaus are very
large. and 1t is very difficult for an Off
Ger OF an army who Is not acquainted
with the conditions Of the country to
successfully direct the attack. I am of
the opinion, that lord Methuen's army
was surrounded on one Of these aplateaus;
and he did not understand the nature of
the country sufficiently to get out Of the
trap. The atmosphere is perfectly clear
and objects many miles away will appear
to be very close. Men great distance
away appear to be in shooting distance
This Is one Of the difficulties in the way
of the successful waging of the fight. by
the English.
The Beers have'been preparing for this
conflict for more. than two. years, and as
a result they are In splendid fighting con-
dition. However, they could do nothing
if 1t were not for the fact. that they are
