LONDON. Nov. 2-LOrd Kitchener has
reported to the War Office a disaster to
the British near Bethel, eastern Transvaal,
in which two guns were lost, several Of
fcers killed or wounded, and ffty-four men
were killed and 100 wounded Following is
the text of Lord Kitchener's dispatch.
dated Pretoria. Nov. /:
II have just heard of severe attack
made on the rear guard of Colonel Benson s
column when about twenty miles north
west of Bethel. near Brokenlaagte during
a thick mist. The strength of the enemy
is reported to have been thousand. They
rushed two guns with the rear guard, but
it is uncertain whether they were able to
remove them. 1 fear our casualties were
heavy. Colonel Benson was wounded. but
not severely. \ relieving column will reach
him this morning"
Later Lord Kitchener telegraphed as fol-
lows: Colonel Barter. who marched from,
the constabulary line yesterday, reached
Benson's column early this morning (Fri-
day unopposed. lie reports that Colonel
Benson died Of his wounds"
Lord Kitchener then gives the following
list OF casualties:
Killed
COLONEL BENSON.
COLONEL +. GUINNESS
MAI +. ID. MURRAY.
CAPT. NJ. W. LINDSAY.
CAPT. r. T. THOROULD.
LIEUT.. r. Y. l. BROOKS.
LIEUT.. r. r. SHEPHERD.
SECOND LIEUT.. a. J. CORLETT
Died of wounds
CAPT. EYRE LLOYD.
Lord Kitchener then gives the names of
thirteen other officers who were wounded,
most of them severely. and announces that
hfty-four noncOmmssioned officers and
men were killed and 100 wounded. adding
that four of the latter have since died of
their wounds. The dispatch then says:
Il assume that the two guns have been
recovered and the enemy has withdrawn,
but I have no further details.
'I deeply regret the loss of Colonel Ben
son and the other officers and men who fell
with him. In Benson the service loses d
most gallant and capable Officer, who in
variably led his colmun with marked sue
cess and judgment. The fighting was at
very close quarters and maintained with
determination by both sides The enemy
suffered heavily. but I have not yet re-
ceived a reliable estimate. The Beers re-
tired east"
Colonel Benson had been for some time
operating in the vicinity OF Bethel, which
is northeast OF Standerton. He surprised
a Boer laager Oct % near Trichsrdsfontein,
taking thirty-seven prisoners. Three days
later. according to Lord Kitcheners report
at the time. after long night march. the
commanders under Grobelaar and Erasmus
heavily attacked Benson's rear guard and
fanks at Yzirvarkfontein. but we're easily
driven away" Whether this was the at
tack which resulted so disastrously. or
whether the Beers who had been repulsed
cook advantage OF the mist to renew their
attack is still unexplained Lord Kitchener

His Wife's Right Hand.

VNTHEN Estelle Hebert married
Wv John Barstow the townspeople
said of him, What fool man is to be
caught by pretty face
For the newly made husband was
forty years of age, sedate and quiet,
while his wife was twenty, handsome
and vivacious.
Nevertheless in the passing of five
years the gossips found no occasion to
recall their comments on the marriage
and say, u told you So
Then came the robbery.
Some men if thev had been go rash
as to keep thousand dollars in money in
the house, and it had been stolen, would
have borne the loss in silence, rather
than run the risk OF having people say
it served him right for such carelessn ess
but John Barstow was as simple as he
was honest. He would not have stolen
any other man 8 money, and until after
the deed was done he did not think that
any other man would steal his. So he
told of the loss.
The town constable made a bold
search for the thief, even gong the
length of a two days journey in;o an
other State after man who was said to
look like a tramp whom Mrs. John
Peters niece had SAID she saw 60 bv her
aunt's house the day before the money
was stolen.
The man proved an easy alibi though,
and the constable hurried home glad to
escape a possible suit against himself
for defamation Of character.
When it was known that Adam Brom-
ley, handsome, reckless farm hand
who had been working for Barstow s
nearest nelghbor for the last six months
had thrown up his job, drawn what
little money Was due him and left town
the next day, SOM few people said:
Don't you think that looks sus-
picious?
But Barstow had said when he heard
them, What nonsense. Adam was one
of the best nelghbors We ever had, He
WAS always the man to come mere when
We changed works, or if they wanted
any errand here No 1t couldn have
been Adam, could it Estelle"
And his wife had answered Mo-
A year from that time john Barstow
was robbed again, or rather as before,
money was stolen from his bouse. The
first time it had been the proceeds from
the sale of lot of timber land;this time
it was the money which had just been
paid HIM for Lis spring clip Of wool.
u d always heard it said that light
ming never struck twice in the same
place. the farmer said ruefully to his
neighbors when they upbraided him fol-
his carelesspess in letting this second
losa be possible,

telle, when brought the money home
and put it in the bureau

Norwegian Nils was travelling clock
tinker who kept in repair the watches
and clocks of half State. For twen-
ty-fve years he had been walking over
the same route, and because he had nei
ther kith nor kin of his own IN this
country, he called the people for whom
he worked his kindred. Twice each
year he visited bis friends, and the fam
iIy with whom he elected to lodge over
night counted itself lucky, for Nils as
priced not only for his work but for his
wit and wisdom, which last, people who
had never seen salt water looked up to
because its owner had come from over
the sea.
The Norwegian loved John Barstow
with the love of an old man for youn-
ger. He had known his father and
mother and home when the farmer had
been boy in it. To the farmer house
he came one Saturday evening not long
after the second robbery, and walkinh
in announced his intention of ending
Sunday there.
He was . man who asked few ques-
tons for gossips sake. The travelling
man who carries news is like the cuckoo
leaving an i'll laid egg in stranger
nest But like the minister who went
about and 'heari things the tinker
acquired much information, and so, al.
though in Barstow's house Nils never
spoke of the farmers loss, it is likely
that he knew of it.
Saturday night brought rain, cold and
drrary.

farmer, Sunday night. Vim cold and

That night two little children of a
farm hand who, not long before, moved
into log house in a back lot,came run,
ming home to their mother, crying, be-
cause shey were frightened.
vt serves you right their mother
said, and snapped their ears. Hasn't
mother told you that you would see
bogies if you stayed out too late?
For the two had gone on and on that
afternoon gathering wild llownrs until
it would haye been dark, except that
there was a slim moon and the early
stars.
'But, mother one child said, we did
see a bogy-a woman in a long, dark
cloak.
And man came over the wall to
meet her. the other child said->a tall
man. We could not see their faces, it
Was so dark but the wonan said Take
it and go; and wish l had never seen
you. hate you
Yes said the child who had spoken
first, a girl; 'bnt when he had gone she
cried Come backY and when he had
come back she threw her around his
neck
YOU had better stay at home nights,
after this said the mother; and then
she snapped their ears again, adding,
next time the hogies will take you with
them
And because the woman was stran.
ger in the town, and as yet knew no one
to gossip with, she never told anyone
what the children had said.
