Town Gossip.

1t is generally agreed that the small
town is a pleasant place to live in, ex-
cept that there is always u great
amount of gossip In such places. Why
do not worthy people control in this
matter Of gossip as they do in other
respects? Are the small towns of the
country to be made undesirable as
places of residences to please lot of
cheap people who ought to be con-
trolled and regulated ?-Atchison Globe.

sic. 1t will be beautifully finished

pointments necessary for the comfort

ROBERTSS DELAY EXPLAINED.

London. March 26.-The continued lack of ag-
gressve movement on the part OF the British is
best explained in dispatch from Bloemfontein
dated Sunday, March %, and published in the
second edition of The Times to-day. 1t says:
The conditions existing in the occupied terri
tory render imperative the somewhat prolonged
halt at Rloemfontein- 1t is necessary that the
effect of the proofs nation should have time to
make itself felt. 1t is declared that danger of
annoyance to the line of communication may
be apprehended unless the territory behind the
advancing forces is rendered absolutely secure.
The accuracy of this view is proved by the fact
OF the enemy's breaking UP into isolated groups,
such as that which attacked the Guards officers
on Friday. The adjustment of financial and
municipal matters in the Free State is now
chiefly occupying the attention of the Governor
and his legal and financial advisers. The mill
