not captured, and the result was the
tying up Of Boer forces that might

man either in, bearing or appearance to
attract attention. He wears a scrubby
short beard and a thick mustache. His
dress used to be a seedy black coat and

anywhere to denote the general, the
man who for months has defed the
cleverest generals, the swiftest troops
of the British army.
But in his face is the stamp OF in
vincible determination. The mouth,
slightly dropped at the corners, is car
ried tightly closed, and the strong,
square jaw is firmly set beneath the
straggly beard. The high. square fore
head rises steeply from a pair of bushy
eyebrows. beneath which the restless.

There is seldom smile in those eyes,

such as they that De Wet kept in touch
with his opponents movements. De

the wide rolling plain in one of the

Boer is fighting that is, he is saving
his chance to fight when the right time
comes.
Louis Botha has fought in a different
way from De Wet, but that is no indi-
cation that the Beers lack plan at this
time. Botha keeps the field east of Pre-
toria. He Is the general in chief and
the roaming bands know where to find
him. Botha came into prominence in
the newspapers after Spion Kop, but
the British had made his acquaintance
on the field long before that. At Dun

and the first battle of Colenso, which
cost the British so dear, was planned
and fought by this novice in war. Spion
Kop he recovered after it had been

! De Wet is the man most feared by
the British, and their hope, at the time
of the fresh invasion of Cape Colony
in December, was that he might be
held north of the Orange river. Said
one correspondent who was in the field
near De Vets camp:

ously enough. 1t is Of little use to

Decoration Day Services.

The steady down.pour of rain on
Decoration Day prevented large at.
tendance at the services in the city
hall, but the ceremonies were no less
impressive on that account, and Judge
Bennett, who is an eloquent and pol
ished orator at any time, fairly outdid
himself on this occasion. Notwith-
standing the incessant rain a number
of brave and patriotic spirits proceeded
to the cemetery, after the services at
the city hall, where the impressive
ritualistic service of the Grand Army
was held and the graves of the departed
heroes were appropriately decorated
with beautiful flowers. The cermony
being held in the rain made it the more
impressive, and shows the devotion of
the members of the Grand Army to
their departed comrades. /
