SIX DOCTORS THIS TIME.

He is completely cured, and besides
losing all his Kidney Trouble, his gen.

been for years.
No case that has occurred in st. Jo-

General De vets MOBILITY.

James Searle, South African,
prominent for his veldt lore and abili-
ties as an athlete, tells a story of Gen
eral De Vets mobility. Searle is
lieutenant in one of the scouting corps,
and thrice during the last few months
had fallen into De Vets hands and
twice escaped. He says that on one
occasion De Wet and all his men and
cattle-some six or seven hundred
men and between two and three thou
sand oxen-were peacefully encamped
on the veldt having breakfast when
a Boer scout dashed up and delivered
a message to De Wet. The Boer lead
er did not report the message, but evil
IDENTIFY it's purport was that the British
forces were much nearer to the re-
publican lager than had been sup
posed. At all events the word was
given to ''inspan" and trek. Searle
took his watch out, and he says that
in exactly eight minutes from the time
that the alarm was given De Wet and
his men were on the march. And their
endurance was not less wonderful
than their quickness, for Searle says
that for between twenty-five and
twenty three hours they kept up the
trek, with only a few minutes rest
every few hours, for the sake of the
oxen.

WORLDS coMMERCE.

A work shortly to be brought out by
the treasury department bureau of sta
tistics promises to add greatly to the
prestige of that valuable Institution as
at present managed. To the careful
and comprehensive work of this bu-
reau the country has been indebted in
the past three years for a vast guam
tity of useful and light-giving infor-
nation bearing upon the important
facts of our foreign commerce. Than
the reports so frequently sent out to
the press of the country nothing has
had or could have a more marked in
fluence for good in the way of telling
the truth as to our tremendous advance
in wealth and prosperity. Non-par-
tisan though they were and dealing
solely with facts and figures cleaned
from official sources, and hence of un-
doubted accuracy, the bulletin of the
bureau of statistics exercised potent
influence in determining the outcome
of the great political campaign of 1900.
The opening chapter of the forth
coming statistical abstract of the
worlds commerce for long term of
years shows the total imports and ex-
ports of each country of the world
having statistical records, from the
earliest date for which the figures are
attainable down to the present time. In
the case of the United Kingdom the re-
port begins with the year 1900. and
shows the total imports, total exports,
and excess of imports or exports in
each year from that date to the pres
emit time. In the case of Australian
gary the record begins with the year
1860; Belgium, 1881; France, 1881;
Germany. 1872; Italy, 1861; Neither

This I beheld, or dreamed it in a
dream:
There spread a cloud of dust along a
plain;
And underneath the cloud, or in it.,
ragged
A furious battle, and men yelled. and
swords
Shocked upon swords and shields. A
princes banner
Wavered, then staggered backward,
hemmed by foes
A craven hung along the battles edge,
And thought. Had sword of keener
steel
That blue blade that the kings son
bears-but this
Blunt thing" he snapt and flung it
from his hand,
And lowering crept away, and left the
field.
Then came the kings son, wounded,
sore bestead,
And weaponless, and saw the broken
sword,
Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden
sand
And ran and snatched it, and with bat
tle-shout
Lifted afresh, he hewed his enemy
down,
And saved a great cause that heroic
day.

Ha. . Fighting Record.

The hero of the Ashanti campaign,
Sir James Willcocks, is about to re-
turn to England for a brief rest, hav-
ing successfully accomplished the task
set him in Africa. He certainly de-
serves a rest after his trying work in
the rough and dangerous country
about the Prah. This last campaign
has brought Sir James rapidly to the
front, although he had already taken
a prominent part in several others
previously. Joining the army in 1873,
when only 81, he at once found active
service in the Afghan war. Then in
1881 he went up with the Mahsud-
Waziri expedition, winning special
mention in dispatches. Four years
later he was in the Soudan affair, and
after that he was for over three years
continuously fighting in Burmah,
where he won the D. S. o. In 1891
he served with the force in Manipur,
where he again won special mention,
and in 1897 he went out with the
Tochi force. This last affair in Ashanti
has shown what a capable and re-
sourceful leader this quiet soldier is
when he has full control in his own
hands.

Emperor.s Sons, severe Education.

1t is well known that the Emperor
William has his sons educated with
Spartan severity. Not only does he
keep them at their lessons for the
greater part Of the day, but the regime
of the school savors of the barrack.
All unnecessary titles are dispensed
with, the ordinary form of address be-
ing "you," not your royal highness."
An amusing incident is told of the
Prince Adalbert, who was confirmed
recently. He and his younger brother,
Augustus William, were walking along
together in the Thiergarten, when a
general passed by on horseback The
younger brother Immediately saluted
him, without waiting for his brother to
first set the example. This displeased
Prince Adalbert, who saw therein a
slight to himself as elder brother; he
therefore sharply rebuked his younger
brother, but was himself Immediately
punished by his father for his AFRO
gance by being ordered to treat his
junior for whole week as if he were
older than himself

WHY BRYAN GOT SO MANY
VOTES.

John w. Breidenthal, the recent Bry-
ante candidate for governor of Kan
sas, commenting upon the opening of a
new bank in a Kansas town and upon
the deposit on the day of opening of
more than 100000 by the farmers and
stockmen of Kansas, is reported to
have said that the occurrence was ere
markable in the history of a Kansas
bank and showed both the prosperous
condition of the farmers and the con-
fidence that McKinley's reelection has
created"
The occurrence is hardly less re-
markable than is such a statement
coming from candidate of the de-
feated party. 1t shows, what was sus-
pected before election, that Mr.. Breid-
enthal, who is bank commissioner of
Kansas. was not in sympathy with the
man who headed the ticket on which
he ran for governor or with the prin-
ciples and policies which were en-
bodied in his party platform, and it
gives rise to the reflection also that
there were without doubt many other
men who ran on the Bryan ticket and
very many others who voted for the
Bryanite party who hoped in their
Utmost hearts that defeat for their
party and their candidate awaited
them Paradoxical as it sounds, it was
the surety of Bryan's defeat which gave
him as large vote as he received AS
