WAR NOT ES.

In comparison with the casualties
suffered by the British troops in South
Africa those sustained by the American
forces in the Philippines seem very small
A statement just compiled by the war
department shows that from July /,
1898, when American troops reached
Manila, until April ~, 1900, these
deaths have occurred: Killed and died
of wounds, 43 officers, 552 men; died OF
disease, 20 officers, 1,G35 men; total, go
officers, 2,1s7 men; grand total, 1885.
The war department has just issued II
complete table of casualties in the 9Th
army corps in the operations against
Santiago, from June 22 to July II, 1898.
The losses are: Killed, 81 officers, 222
enlisted men; wounded, 1Ol officers,
l,344 enlisted men; total, l,6ss. The
9TH regular infantry lost the great
est number of men, its killed and
wounded numbering 1872.
Commissioner Wilson of the internal
revenue bureau has received an inquiry
as to whether under the new Puerto
Rican act, beer exported to Puerto Rico
will be required to be stamped under
existing revenue regulations as applied
for home consumption, or if it can be
removed under export stamps as here
tofore. In his reply the commissioner
calls attention to the ruling of his of
flee TO the effect that Puerto Rico is
not foreign country within the mean
ing of the customs drawback law, and
that, therefore, no refund of duty can
be allowed by way of drawback on
goods exported TO that country. The
commissioner holds that on anG after
May l, 1900, articles subject to internal
revenue tax cannot be exported to
Puerto Rico in bond, or with benefit of
draw back of tax paid under internal
revenue laws.
The statement was made on the both

wsmsn Not Money Makers.

II Harper's Bazaar, Hetty Green, the
famous woman flnancier, tells why
women are not money-makers. She
says: "In the first place, woman is
entirely too impulsive for business.
She sails gayly into the world OF
commerce, believing in everything,
and in herself most of all. A GER
tain stock may be increased tempo
rarily in value, owing to the enter
prise OF it's owners, who are them
selves advancing the market. The
woman speculator. with her usual i'm
pctuosity, thinks: L must have some
of that. If it is this high, can sell
it for more She does not stop 10
look over the market; she has not
trained her judgment, but, with both
hands outstretched, offering her little
all, she plunges headlong into the
grasp of cunning spectators. The
next day-or the next hour, perhaps
the stock falls in value. She is just
the prey the sharpers are looking for.
More money is made in the end by an
cversupply of caution than by indis-
criminate recklessness. l am not adj
vising timidity. Quite the contrary.
BE sure that you are right first, then
so ahead"

large trees which formed the begin
ming of a dense woods. In the sum-
mer the woods hung thick with green
leaves, and a carpet of green lay upon
the ground, but now it was bare, and
in spots there were muddy pools and
bits of marsh.
"Oh, Roland, look, look!" cried
Mamie, bending down, and pushing
back the carpet Of dried leaves. Here
is a violet!"
And sure enough, there it lay, half
buried in the ground, yet peeping
forth blue and lovely. "And here are
others, oh, dear! oh, dear!"
Here" said Roland, put them in
my muller; we will make a bag out
of it, SO. Then we will fill it with
violets."
Deeper and deeper into the woods
they went, picking ever one moro vio-
let and ever venturing little deeper
into the blackness.
What makes it so dark?" asked
Roland once, stopping and looking up
at the sky through the trees. "Oh,
dear!" he exclaimed, "it is going to
rain"
well, I'm hungry" said Mamie,
"and I'm going to stop and eat my
lunch If it does rain"
So with the drops falling gently
around them, they sat upon the cold,
wet earth, and ate their lunch. How
good it tasted. There was some gin
gerbread in Mamie's lunch box and
four very fat little sandwiches. Ro-
land had big apple pie, a cold sau-
sage, and two big slices of roast beef,
besides ever so many slices of bread.
Il thought we might get hungry" said
he, laughing, as he pulled out the con-
tents of his tin pail, $50 1 helped my
self this morning"
II think" said Mamie, that We
had better go back now. l feel cold
and it is getting late. 1t must be 2
o'clock"
"AlI right" said Roland, where
are the violets?"
IL thought you had them" said Ma
mic.
Il gave them to you" said Roland.
They were gone, muller and all,
and, disappointed, the two children
started back to find them.
How it happened Roland never
could tell, but they started in the
wrong direction, and after they had
walked a good hour they saw they had
made a mistake. II guess we'd better
turn around" said Roland, "and go
back"
ooh, dearl" said Mamie, whimpering
n little, I'm so tired"
Another hours walking brought
them no nearer the outskirts OF the
woods, and, in a dilemma, they eat
down to think 1t over.

Cheerful Letter from Mafeking-soi-

from the Scene of Conflict. -

London, May 1.-The latest news
received from the Orange Free State
indicates that though the Beers, have.
evacuated Thaba Nchu, they have. only
done so in order to occupy stronger po-
sitions. Yesterday Gen. De Wei made
an effort to turn French's eastern flank
which was only foiled by the cavalry
after vigorous maneuvering. The Beers
held the ridges to the eastward,
whench they will probably fall back
when the pressure OF superior nun;
bers increases. -. mi ylG.,
The British casualties sustained dur
ing the Thaba Nchu fighting were
slight 80 A3oTH
Gen. Frenchs object. now that all
chance of catching the main bodies Of
the burghers has disappeared, is to
harass the Beers and prevent any we'll
organized retreat.

Cape Town reports say that Dr..
Jameson has recovered from the severe
attack of fever. from which he has
been suffering, and he is mentioned as
a candidate for one of the seats in the
Cape parliament representing Kimber-

Rutherford Harris.
The agent of julius We'll at Mafe-
king wrote. under date of April II,
most cheerfully. saying everything was
satisfactory. He added that the Beers
guns were firing heavily into the town,
and that a determined attack had been
repulsed without casualties on the
British side.
A conception fthe continuous raw
ages of the war can be gathered from

BRITISH GIVE UP PURSUIT.
Seem to Have Abandoned Hope of
CorDerlDg Beers.

CorDerlDg Beers.
London, May 1.-The only dispatch
from Lord Roberts was the usual list
of deaths and sickness. The flood or
newspaper dispatches describing the
recent operations throws no light
whatever upon the present position OF
affairs or upon the great question as
to when the main advance is to begin.
The Standards announcement that
Gen. Frenchs cavalry are returning 10
Bloemfontein is clear proof that there
is no further hope of catching the re-
treating Beers and the London papers
are beginning to display Impotence at
the practical failure of the elaborate
operations of last week. The Standard
says: at is disheartening to ma that
these elaborate maneuvers have had SO
small result"
The Daily Chronicle remarks: I'VE
are reluctant to criticise Lord Roberts,
but it is impossible TO shut our eyes
to the fact that during the last ten
days we have gained very little from
our enormous display of force.
Col. Dalgetys force at Wepener
numbered LOO. His losses during the
siege were thirty killed and l4s
wounded.
The Morning Posts Bloemfontein
correspondent, in dispatch dated sat
urday, protests against Wyndham $
reply in the house of commons, which
undertook to disconnect the delay in
Lord Roberts advance from the lack
of horses. He says: ION the contrary,
the necessity for a large and ever-in-
creasing supply of remounts cannot De
too urgently insisted on. The sacrl-
fee of horseflesh in the past is as noth-
ing when compared with the possipiil-
ties of the future. The area across
which a cavalry screen must be thrown
will necessitate an immense STRAIN,
and the consequent gaps must be hileu
as soon as they occur"
According to a special dispatch from
Thaba 'Nchu, dated Sunday, the Brit
ish troops, now that the adjacent coun-
try is cleared of the Beers, who trekked
hurriedly In the direction of Lady
brand, will recuperate for a short pc
riod. Advices from Thaba Menu, IN
der date of Saturday, say: THE ada
cent country is now clear, the Beers
having retired toward Ladybrand.
There are interesting developments
ahead. Gen. French sent the Third
and Fourth cavalry brigades ON sep
arate reconnoisances around the nils
east of the town. The enemy, 1t was
found. held the hills strongly, though
evidently only a rear guard, as no
transport was visible. The Beers are
now holding a very steep row of hills
east"

I'm afraid we are lost" said Ma
ME, rubbing her eyes.
81 don't know" said Roland bravely,
but If you don't feel too tired, Ma
ME, / guess we'd better walk little
further on. 1t isn't much further"
Meanwhile all was excitement in
the village.
When Mamie and Roland did not ap-
pear at school the teacher sent home
for them, and when it was found that
they were gone search parties were
sent out for them. Inquiry was made
at the home of all their relatives, and
then. not finding them, the parties
searched further. They scarcely
thought that the children could have
been venturesome enough to go to the
woods, but there was really no telling
what they would do.
Finally the searching party found a
mitten dropped by Roland at the
fence which led into the woods, anu
with this elew they started on their
search in the cold. wet forest.
1t was 6 o'clock when Rolands IA
ther found his muller. filled with vio-
lets, and this cheered them on. AT
they came across the children,
nestled snugly against the roots OF
big tree, both fast asleep.
The next day Roland went back TO
school a changed boy. He realized
how much trouble he had made his
father and all his friends and deter
mined to do better Mamie took her
share of the blame, too, and for
while at least no one would have rec
ognized the studious boy who stood at
the head of his class as the careless

FUN FOR THE BOYS.
Urchins Failed to Respect the Gorgeous
Dignity of Ghooli Chan.

The department of state is informed
that the Persian government has de-
cided to send another diplomatic rep
resentative to Washington. 1t has had
no minister in this country since 1888,
when Hodij Hossein Ghooli Khan fled
from the city in indignation and dis
may because of the treatment he re-
ceived from the curious public. Mr..
Ghooli Khan, says a Washington cor
respondent, was proud and naughty
person; he dressed in Persian costume,
and whenever he appeared upon the
street was attended by his dragoman
or chasseur, Mira Mahmoud, who
wore an even more gorgeous costume,
and walked in front of his master,
carrying a naked cimeter, such as you
see in the comic operas. The specta-
Gle very naturally attracted public at
tention, and, much to his annoyance,
Ghooli Khan was usually followed by
large crowd wherever he went. Most
of his retinue was composed of unruly
and ragged negro urchins, who did not
consider his feelings in making COM
ments upon his appearance. The chas-
seur, who ostensibly came out for the
protection of his gorgeous master,
used to brandish his sword and make
desperate charges into the ranks of
his followers, but it only aggravated
them, and the greater the demonstra-
ton the faster the crowd would grow.
Prince Ghooli (for khan means prince
appealed to the department Of state;
the police were notified, and officers
were sent to guard the legation, but
that only attracted attention and made
matters worse. Finally the poor man
driven to distraction by the attentions
he received from the populace, re-
turned to his own country, and the
Persian legation has been vacant
since. The Persian government now
proposes to try it again, but if the
new man makes as much of a parade
as his predecessor, he is likely to suf-
fer from the same annoyances.

who was 40 years old and divorced, was
insanely jealous over attentions which
the girl received at a ball. In the
presence of several fellow boarders he
threatened to kill her. Alvah Pike, the
15-year-old nephew of the girl, endeav-

and, looking across the aisle, Roland
Havens saw Mamie Gray, the pref
tiest and sauciest girl in school, smil-
ing and nodding "a him. II heard
what you said" said Mamie, "and
agree with you. School is a hateful
old thing"

We can start in the morning before .
and get back by o'clock. They won
say anything to us at home when we
bring them all the violets."
The next morning saw guilty little
pair scudding along the paths which
led out OF the village and trying to
avoid observation by climbing the tall
fences and walking the other side OF
the bare hedges.
1t seemed so good to be out in the
air once more. Roland enjoyed II
thoroughly, and Mamie liked it as well
as her guilty conscience would per-
NIT.
They were the leaders in all the
FRANKS in school, these two children
and when anything went wrong the
question was always asked, Did Ro'
land do it?" or WAS it Mamie Gray's
fault?"
Yet neither meant to be naughty
and you may be sure that neither
would have gone out that day had
they known what trouble the day
would bring forth.
