London. April 24.-The Beers in the
eastern part of the Free State have
stopped the advance of Lord Roberts
toward Pretoria by compelling him to
divert three army divisions to cleal
the enemy from his right flank. Gen
eral Rumble was not as successful at

Gated. There is gloom at the war of
ice in consequence.
In his dispatch IA the war Office late
Yesterday afternoon. Roberts stated
that he had dispatched the Eleventh

NEVER ADMIT DEFEAT.

Never admit defeat or poverty.
though you seem to be down and have
not a cent. Stoutly assert your di-
vine right to be man, TO hold your
head up and look the world in the
face; step bravely to the front, what
ever opposes, and the world will make
way for you. No one viii insist upon
your rights while you yourself doubt
that you possess the qualities requls-
ite for success. Never allow your
self to he a traitor to your own cause
by undermining your self confidence.
There never was 4 time before when
persistent, original force was so much
in demand as now. The namDy-pam-
by. nerveless man has little show In
the hustling world today. In the
twentieth century n man must either
push or be pushed. Everyone adj
mires the man who can assert his
rights. and take them if denied him.
No one can respect the man who sinks
in he rear and apologies for being
in the world. Negative virtues are
of no use in winning ones way. II
is the positive man, the man with orig
inal energy and push that fOrges to
the front.-Success.
