The Professor-I have a new conun-

The Doctor-A new conundrum!
That had whiskers when was boy.
A mouse is like a haystack because

Ho! Ho! Hal Ha!
The PROFESSIONALISM isn't the answer

are these: You can't find a needle in
a haystack, and you can't find a nee
die in a mouse. Some people weary
me exceedingly with their affectation
of superior knowledge.-Chicago Trib-

Lord Roberts Force Has Made Good
Progress from Bloemfontein.

London, May 5.-The mounted in

which are the Canadians, have picket
the Vet river, IS miles north of Brand
fort. The head of Lord Roberts col
umns has thus advanced 80 miles from
Karee Siding in two days. or SO miles
north of Bloemfontein. Little powder
was spent. The British work was
hard marching, the Beers retiring out
of the reach of the British shells. The
correspondents supplement Lord Rob-
erts' plain statements with few de-
tails AS Gen. Hutton, with the First
mounted infantry brigade, drew near
Brandfort, he saw a khaki-clad body
of troops ahead of him. He was sur
prised, but thought they must be the
british. However, they opened fire
upon the British, who replied heavily.
They were the Irish-American brig
ade from Lourenzo Marques, and it
is reported that the Irish lost severely.
The Boer flag was flying over Brand
fort as the British entered the town.
Several British wounded were found
in the hospital. The Boer postmaster
gave up the keys of the public build
ings to Captain Ross. Lord Kitchener
arrived at Brandfort at noon and
Lord Roberts at dusk.

were taken, and although no hot pur-

SOCIETIES MAY BE MERGED
Big Movement Urged at Methodist
Conference for Unifying of
Missionary Effort.

Chicago, May decentralization of
certain powerful societies now work
ing under the auspices of the Metho-
dist church. was the chief topic of
discussion at the Methodist quadren-
NAL conference Saturday. A strong
movement was made looking to the
union of the church extension, freed
mems aid and southern educational
work with that of the home mission
department., the combination to be
known as the Home Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist Church. Aside
from this question quiet and rest, as
compared with the vigorous sessions
of the last three days, marked the
fourth morning session of the confer
ence at the Auditorium. Bishop Wal
den presided and had little trouble
with the meeting. The attendance
of people outside the pale of delegates
was the largest since the conference
began, the rear part of the ground
floor being well filed with auditors.
Debate on the consolidation scheme
was the most animated. Earnest dis
cussion with many amendments took
up nearly an hour, after which the
subject, changed to some extent, went
over for a report next Friday. Each
organization is to furnish commit
tee of five to debate the consolidation
question and make joint report.
