London, May 26, $3.50 a. m.--The latest
intelligence from Lord Roberts head
quarters at Vredefort station, filed
Thursday, 5:45 p. M, was that the
British were rapidly advancing. Cen
eral Hamilton had effected a junction
with Lord Roberts. The country in
front of them was clear of Beers to
Viljoens Drift. The Beers Were evacu-
ating all their positions south Of the
Vaal river and 5000 had already crossed
to the north bank. Probably General
French's cavalry is already reconnoiter-
ing the fords of the Vaal.
War office observers expect that the
next despatch from the field marshal
will be dated in sight of the Transvaal
frontier. Bennett Burleigh, wiring to the
Daily Telegraph from Vredefort Thurs
day evening, says Lord Roberts would
doubtless cross the Vaal Saturday or
Sunday. The British outposts We're
eAiSii at III SlC oOIuhb Illllt HllltS LOIll OL
Vredefort, and twenty-six miles south Of
the Vaal river. The railway is much
damaged.
While the British in overwhelming
force are thus rapidly approaching the
Iransvaal the movements of the Beers
are enveloped in mystery. The last Pre-
toria newspaper to reach Lourenzo Mar
quez was week old. Every one seek

days has come by word of mouth

publishes the following dispatch, dated
Friday, from Newcastle: president
Steyn is reported to be at Velde, where
he Free Staters are concentrating pre-
to moving to join commanders
low at Laing's Mex. Little opposition

"SiIencing a Gum"

There is a great deal of ignorance as
to what ''silencing a gun" means. A
gun is silenced when the gunners are
disabled or driven back and the gun or
gun carriage damaged. 1t is common
enough phenomenon for weapons
which have thus been silenced to re-
open fire after repairs have been made,
the gunners rallied or a fresh gun crew
obtained. 1t is a rare thing for a gun
to be so damaged by hostile fire that it
cannot be refitted and brought into ac-
ton again. Il saw" says Prince Kraft
of the German artillery in the battle of
Gravelotte, many guns during the
cannonade lying miserably on the
ground winged is, with broken
wheel. But not one was withdrawn.
The injured guns were always speed
lily repaired with the help of the wag-
ons, which were near, so that at the
close of the battle could not tell ex-
actly how many pieces had been put
temporarily out of ction."-Army and

THE BITER BITTEN.
A Trick That Didn't Work Out Just
as Was Expected.

as Was Expected.
There were three of them, and as
they entered the German saloon on the
corner the tall young man, who wore
Tazzle dazzle clothes and posed as
fast" remarked in an pndertone to
his companions that he would show
them something good"
They lined up at the bar, and the
tall young man ordered three cent
drinks. When these were disposed of,
he laid down 10 cents on the bar, at
which the German proprietor remark
ed, "Nen; tifdeen." The tall young
man repocketed the coin and thus ad-
dressed the German:
81 just gave you 10 cents, didn't II"
yah" responded the German.
"Well. here's 10 cents. That makes
20. so you owe me s." added the
young man. again depositing the dime
on the bar.
The German looked bewildered, but
placed the dime in the money drawer
and handed the tall young man a half
dollar, with the request that lie deduct
therefrom the cents due him. The
tall young man had just the correct
change, 40 cents, left in his pocket.
This he promptly handed to the Ger
man and received the half dollar. Then
the three companions repaired to the
street and INDUCED in a mighty laugh,
while the tall young man swelled up
like prize turkey on parade. Every
thing went lovely until they parted
company and the tall young man
boarded a car for his home in the
suburbs. Imagine his feelings when
the conductor handed him back the
so cents which he rendered in re-
spouse to the request for fares with
the information that the piece was
"bad." 1t wns all the money he had,
and he could not persuade the con-
ductor to trust him, so he was eject
ed at the next corner and had to walk
the remaining five miles to his home

TRAINING OF ANIMALS.
Only Accomplished, 1t Is Said. by the
Use OF the whip.

Only Accomplished, 1t Is Said. by the
Use of the whip.
The popular theory that animals can
be taught tricks by frmness and kind
ness is a grim error, according to a vet
eran circus man who has sent forth
the dictum that no animal was ever
trained to do anything unnatural ex-
cept by punishment If it knows hun
ger or pain will follow disobedience, it
will obey.
1t takes the whip to break the colt to
harness or saddle, but the end justities
the means, and the animals intelli-
gence when once it has learned its les
son does away withsfurther use of the
whip. But if horse is taught tricks,
such as one sees in a circus, the con-
slant use of the whip is necessary,
and the little pat on the neck the train
er gives the animal in public is not be-
slowed in private. There is never any
let up in their training.
Trained dogs always appeal to wom-
en- and children, for the little ANIMALS
appear to thoroughly enjoy their work.
But the barking and frisking are only
the natural joy of the poor beasts at
being let out of the cramped quarters
where they stay when they are not in
the ring. Moreover, they know the
trainer does not whip them in public.
There Is scarcely a trick trained dog
does that he likes or that he will do at
order unless punished. Willis Cobb
was the first dog trainer to make a
reputation, and when he was middle
aged he abandoned his profession be-
cause, he said, he had not the heart to
go on making a living by whipping

A farmer is known by his furrow as
"the carpenter is known by his chips" 1t
takes a firm hand and a true eye to turn
a straight furrow. No wonder the farmer
wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air.
One days work on the farm would tire
many trained athlete. And the farmer
works hardest of all. The first up and
the last to bed, feeding his team before
he feeds himself, his work is practically
never done. Why does not the farmer
treat his own body as he treats the land
he cultivates? He puts back in phos-
phate what he takes out in crops, or the
land would grow poor. The farmer
should put back into his body the vital
elements exhausted by labor If he does
not, he will soon complain of vpoor
health" The great value of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in its vital
izing power. 1t gives strength to the
stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the
blood. 1t supplies Nature with the SUBJ
stances by which she builds up the body,
just as the farmer supplies Nature with
the substances that build up the crops.
