of the river. AS 1t was impossible to
hold the whole summit, General Mac
donald constructed strong works
across the center which were held by
the Seaforth Highlanders and three
companies of the Black Watch. While
the Highland Light infantry held a
small kopje on the right, the Ninth
lancers patrolled the left toward the
river, General Macdonald's plan being
to repel attacks.
Things went quietly until Wednes-
day, when the Beers advanced along
the ridge within 800 yards, mounting
two mountain 7-pounders which were
invisible from the plain. They also
held smaller drift three miles to the
west. On receipt of this news Gen
'eral Methuen dispatched a large force
OF cavalry and two horse batteries I'M
der General Darlington, with the pur-
pose of surrounding the Beers. In
order to further this plan General Mac
donald adopted merely defensive tao
tics. Ii was not attempted to force
back the Beers right which move
might have resulted In their general
retirement too soon.
General Darlington left Modder river
at 11:30 in the morning and arrived
within two miles Of KoodoOsberg at
4:30 p. M, too late to attempt the turn
ing movement. The next morning il
was found that the Beers had fled from
the lower drift, but still remained on
the hill, which they also left when
they perceived Babington's movements
Early In the morning Darlington vigor-
Ousiy sheiled the retiring Beers. The
whole British force is now returning
to camp. This little affair reflects great
credit upon General Macdonald's tao
tics and proves that the Highlanders
have thoroughly recovered their old go
and courage.

Fire Severe at Times
The Beers continued to work the
Nordenfeldts on the British infantry
,e0trenched on the hill. The fire was
severe at times. Wednesday afternoon
General Butler resolved not to press

day night the guns on the Zwart kop
replied to the Beers Smelling. When
they commenced to shell the transport
train the Beers got a large number OF
cannon into position. Their superior

The total expenses for the whole Pc
riod of nine months showed q wide range
from $3.50 for a family of three to
$5,4l2. &c for a family of ten. The aver
aye total expense for all the families OF
five persons was found to be $1.4I7.24.
For six persons it was S., 05S.94. At one
extreme was a family of eleven persons
averaging $6,66s.s5 and at the other a
family of two persons with a total of
$577. 80. .
The total weekly cost of subsistence
for families of different sizes ranged
from $7.25 for a family Of two to S54.95
for a family of twelve. The average
cost of subsistence per week per person
was found to be from 3d. go in families of
eight persons to $3.50 in families of
twelve. The lowest rate of all was $l.a9
a week for each of the members of a
household consisting of eight, including
one servant. In contrast with these was
a family of two, with two servants,
whose food cost $S.61 for each week in
nine months.
These statistics are of little value, for
they prove merely that seventy different
families lived seventy different ways as
far as expenses are concerned. There
are families in this country who manage
to live on 80 cents a day while Others
again find it difficult to make ends meet
on $4,000 a year. An article on ''How
to dress on 81, 900 a year. may be help
full to some women, but to the vast ma
iority of women in the country it would
be meaningless. 1t is the same will

Still they are interesting and give Q
glimpse of life as it is lived today in the

The Horticultural Fair.

Pennington held a very successful
fair this month. The Albuquerque
fair is drawing large crowds this week.
The preparations for the street fair at
Roswell promise that it will be a great
success. The horticultural fair at San
ia Fe next month should also receive
that share of attention that it's import
ance demands. The idea of holding fairs
and carnivals at every county seat is a
good one. 1t not only adds to the
gayety Of the community but it offers
an occasion for country folks to come
into town to do their shopping as we'll
as serving as an advertisement for the
locality in which it is held. In the lat
ter respect the horticultural fair held
annually at Santa Fe is the most i'm
portant exhibition in New Mexico, for
while the other fairs are to more or less
extent local, the horticultural fair is
representative of the whole territory
and shonld be encouraged by every
county, for 1t seeks to advertise the
resources of New Mexico as a whole and
not merely Santa Fe and surround
inrs
