The farm was not quite paid for.
Early and late the father and
mother toiled, living sparingly.
and growing daily more silent and
stern. The two sons, aged twelve
and fourteen years, worked "a
steadily almost as the parents, but
the silence and the repression wore
upon their young hearts, and by
degrees they became discouraged.
then dissatisfied with their home.
1t was terrible shock TO the
busy, pre-occupied father. when by
chance he overheard the two boys
planning to leave home, and it did
not take long to shape plans
whereby.the whole atmosphere of
the place was changed. His two
manly sons were more TO him than
all the farms in the world.
From silent, apparently un-
sympathetic man, he found it
worth while to become once more
a boy, interested in all that inter.
ested his two boys, full of pranks
and jokes, trimming over with
fun, treasure house of tales of
the long ago that were far more
thrilling to the bewiIdered boys
than a dozen longed for books Of
adventure.
The mother frightened up the
dreary home, bought some books
and subscribed for more papers.
She smiled now, even when her
heart was heaviest, and drew near
to her sons in a way she had never
had time with before. And the
boys promptly adjusted themselves
to the new conditions of the home
and voted it the sweetest spot on
earth.-Farm Journal.

of TranSyaaI.
THE QUEEN MAKES AN APPEAL
Calls For Retired Soldiers To Form
Royal Battalion For Home
Defense.

4 London dispatch says: The Beers
are leaving all the positions held by
them on British territory and are con-
centrating for the defense of their own
the Transvaai. Sir Redvers Butler
thinks he is able to raise the siege of
Lsdysmith, and this was tie large
news Of the day Tuesday.
General Clements reports that the
force confronting him has been greatly
diminished. Ten thousand men are
estimated to have gone from the Cole
burg district alone. The Beers are
also retracing their steps from Zulu
land.
Thus they are relaxing their holds
on all sides in order to assemble to
oppose Lord Roberts. He is pressing
steadily toward Bloemfontein. This
is shown by his inconsCquential tele-
gram from Paardeberg. fifty or sixty
miles away. Doubtless he is miles be-
hind the column that is pursuing the
Beers and the next important news
may be the occupation of Bloemfon-
tein.
Nothing has been heard from the
chase of Cronie for two days. Although
the last words of the war office Tues
day night we're that there was no news
for publication, there is a strong dis
position to believe that favorable in
formation has been received but is be-
ing withheld until the operations Gull
inmate in something more conclusive.
There is an equally strong disposition
to think that CronJe has got away.
Owing to lack of transport, the
British are not likely to invade terri
tory except where Lord Roberts is
operating. General Butler will have
to stop at the Drakensberg mountains.
Probably part Of the 10000 men will
ultimately join the legions of Lord
Roberts.
If, as General Butler AYERS, the
Beers are retrtating from him. then
the news on every side is favorable to
the British. Nevertheless troops con-
tinue to go up.
The war office thinks that the call
to veterans to rejoin the colOrs, to-
gether with the bounty, will bring
1000 men to the home defense. The
urgency with which home defepse is
pressed excites some wonder.
With the casualties Just reported,
the British losses in killed, wounded
and captured how aggregate II, l02.

that in Germany not only the railways,
