Fight an Invisible Foe.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The correspondent
of the Times with Buffers army, writ
ing from Chieveley camp, after giving
in detail the battle Of Oolenso, says:
s'The Beers position was excenently
planned, their trenches and emplace-
ments were we'll hidden. All DIV we
were fired at by guns whose position we
could never find, and through the heat
mirage we were never sure exactly
where the musketry fire came from. It
was the conditions of modern warfare.
We had to attack an invisible enemy
whose position could not even be fixed
by the smoke of his rifle. It was rifle
fire that caused our losses. Their she'll
lire, though accurate enough, was not
deadly, and during the advances men
did not drop till they had come within
effective range of the rifles. This was
the case in spite Of the fact that by far
the greater number of the Boer shells
burst, and burst accurately, too, right
in the middle of our men,"

His Capacity Had Limits.

An old farmer who was in the habit
of eating what was set before him,
asking no questions, dropped into
Memphis cafe for dinner. The waiter
gave him the menu card and explained
to the old gentleman that it was the
list Of dishes the cafe served for din
ner that day. Accordingly he began
at the top of the bill of fare and or
dered each thing in turn until he had
covered about one-third of it. The
prospect of what was still before him
was too overpowering, yet there were
some things at the end that he want
ed to try. He called the waiter and,
confidently marking off the spaces on
the card with his index finger, said:
look here, I've ct frum thar to thar.
Can skip from that to thar and eat
on TO the bettom?" Memphis Scimitar.

WHY GRANT NEVER sWORE.

While sitting with him at the camp
fire late one night, after every one
else had gone to bed, I said to him ::
General. it cen singular that you
have gone through all the tumble of
army service and frontier life, and
have never been provoked into
swearing. I have never heard you
utter an oath or use an impreca-
rion."
We'll, somehow or other, 1 never
learned to swear, q" he replied. when
Il boy l seemed to have an aversion
10 it, and when l became a man l
saw the folly of it. 1 have always
noticed, too, that swearing helps to
rouse a mans anger and when a
man flies into a passion, his adver-
,ary who keeps cool always gets the
better Of him. In fact, l never could
~,o the use of swearing. L think it
= the case with many people who
swear excessively that it is Il mere
hadn't, and that they do not mean to
b. profane; but, to say the least, 1t

WHY NOT QUIT 1T?

There is one sin everywhere, and by
everybody is underestimated in valu-
ations of character. It is the sin of
fretting. Watch any ordinary COM
ing together of people, and see how
many minutes it will be before some
body frets-that is, makes more or
less complaining statements of some
thing or other. 1t is simply astOnish-
ing how much annoyance and dis
comfort may be found in the course
of every days living, if one only
keeps d sharp eye put on that side of
things. Even Holy Writ says we I
born to trouble as the sparks fly up
ward. But even to the sparks flying
upward. in the blacklist of smoke,
there Is a blue sky above, and the
less time they waste on the road the
sooner they will reach it. Fretting

A man learns his politics and

vicious manhood can quite kill the

sleep on her breast while she sang
that sweet story of old, when Jesus
WAS here among men, In earlier
times in this country a mother had
little work outside of her house and
children. She watched her boy day
and night to keep him near to God
and out of the devils clutches. 1t

a cage. Her own feet are set in a
large room. Her horizon takes in

JOE LINCOLN.
Say, I've got a little brother,
Never leased to have him nuther,
But he's here;
They just went ahead and bought
him,
And last week the doctor brought
him
Want that queer?
When I heard the news from Molly,
Why, 1 thought at first twas jolly,
Cause you see,
L s'pOsed 1 could go and get him,
And then mamma, course, would let
him
Play with me.
But when 1 had once looked at him,
WHY L says, My sakes is that
him?
Just that mite?"
They said, Yes" and, "Ain't he
cunnin'?"
And thought they must be funnin'-
He's a sight!
He's so small it's just amazin',
And you'd think that he was blazin',
He's so red;
And his nose is like a berry,
He's as Fald as Uncle Jerry
On his head.
Why he isn't worth a dollar
And all he does is cry and hOller
More and more:
Won't sit up-you can't arrange
him
I don't see why pa don't change him
At the store.
Now we've got to dress and feed
him,
And we really didn't need him
MOre'n a frog;
Why'd they buy a baby brother
When they knew Id good deal ruther

Whether my path below was

Whether it wound through dark or

Under a gray or golden sky,
When 1 look back on it by and by?
