torrents of slanting rain that was as
warm as newly drawn blood. The band
was playing one of Gottschalk's sweet

nian, you know, Creole Eyes" when
"a girl screamed. Her white satin bot
| tine had been wetted by water coming
up through the floor! Terror then be-
set all. A rush was made for the hotel,
but the covered way was gone. 1t had
been carried off by the tremendous
wave of the raging sea! Mothers had
left their little children asleep in the
other house. How should they get to
them? 1t was utterly impossible UNI
less one had wings, to pass through the
tossing, boiling flood of maddened sea
that rolled between. OF the horrors
that followed no living tongue could
ever tell. But about midnight strange
sea moan that became a roar grew
nearer and louder, until it was like
10000 laundering Niagaras. 1t was a
tidal wave 1000 miles long, 10 miles
wide and 60 feet high! And as it rolled
reslstless, hotel, ball room, all-all was
swallowed up in the nav of the pitti-
less sea. Men, women and little ones
were parted never again to meet until
that final day, when the sea shall give
up its dead!"
Such a tragedy had never been
known before in the nations history.
Nothing was left of the lovely isle but a
few broken brick pillars to mark where
life and beauty had died so awful a
death For weeks patrol boats along
the mainland shore found nothing but
dead bodies In one instance the corpse
of a lady in the last putrescent stages
was identified by nearly $4,000 worth
of diamonds she had worn that fateful
night. Think Of the ghastlness of it.
The only two survivors were a strong
powerful negress, who blindly caught
on to a door that was floating by and
carried in to the mainland, and the
other was tiny girl baby, not more
than Is months old She had been
placed upon a billiard table, which
foated and there she was found on the
Lafourche shore forty-eight hours af-
ter the storm. Nearly every household |
in southern Louisiana was in mourn
ing, for 400 adults were lost. How help |
less we are when Old Nature looses her |

LONDON, May 31.-London awoke
this morning to learn that the war was
ended. The people have not recovered
from their surprise sufficient to make
any demonstration, for up to noon the
city was as quiet as grave yard.
When the English people went to
bed last night they did SO fearing that
Lord Roberts had miscalculsted the
strength of Boer resistance at
johannesburg, and no message had
been received from him up to that
time that he had occupied the golden
city. So when they took up the
papers this morning they half expect
ed to read of the Beers successfully
repelling the attack on johannesburg,
but instead they found flaming head
lines announcing the end OF the war.
"Pretoria- surrenders'' were the
words that met the eye. 1t took their
breath completely away and they have
not yet got it back.
Lord Roberts must apparently de-
pend on London for advices telling him
of the consummation of his plans as he
has not yet telegrsphed any intimation
OF Kruger's collapse.
HOW THE NEWS CAME.
The news that the war had collapsed
came in the form of q dispatch from
the Earl of Roslyn who had been pri-
soner at Pretoria. It was dated May
3Oth, timed IL: 40. aud read as follows:
"Pretoria will bs occupied in about
two hours without resistance. The
president has gone to Watervalboven.
"Burgomaster De Sousa is
authorized to receive the British. He,
with an influential committee of citi-
zens, including Chief Justice Greg
orowski, Samuel Marks and Mr.. Love-
day, has been appointed to preserve
lives and property, during the intereg-
um. Everything is quiet but crowds
are awaiting expectsntly in Church
Square for the arrival of the British.
"Fearing possible disturbance and
bloodshed among the prisoners of war
at Waterfall, United States Consul
Hay and Mr.. Leigh Wood insisted up
on twenty officers being liberated on
parole to go to the men. Their action |
cannot be too highly praised.
THE FLIGHT OF KRUGER.
"T was permitted to accompany the
officers. Everything was quiet"
This is the dispatch upon which be-
lief is based that the war is over. It
comes apparently from Pretoria, is |
signed by British prisoners, tells of
the collapse of the Boer defense and |
the flight of Kruger. Waterfall bowen,
where Kruger has gone, is more than
half way to Lorenzo Marquee.
1t is surmised that.Oom Paul is max
ing for Portuges port where he can
take ship to some safe haven.
The action of American Consul Hay
in demanding that a score of the Of
hcers who had been captured during
the war should be released In order to
control the British enlisted men who are
held at Waterfall, has given the Eng
lish people generally great pleasure.
Hays timely action, as 1t is referred
to, is given high praise.

from generals at home who had done
great work in India and Egypt.
One of them was little man, Lord
Roberts, of Kandahar. He had seen
thirty years of distinguished servic

virtually retired to enjoy his old age

was bowed down in grief, for his only

81 found your medl-
cine a blessing to me
and nv family"

There are women who feel something
like a grudge against the children, who,
one after another rob their mother OF her
beauty and strength. Men do not usually
realize how much the mother gives to
each child TO her own loss. Women
accept it as part of the obligation OF
Nature and pay the debt grudgingly.
Yet in Natures plan every child is a
new Joy and fresh happiness. 1t isn't
the children that steal the mothers
strength. 1t is the unnatural drains and
pains which weaken her.
Every woman who has used DR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has found in it the
one thing woman has waited for. 1t

liberation, makes the baby's advent a
