The best exercise In the world Is
walking.
A person who knows how 70 walk in

walking forms prominent part. Golf.

bicycling merely give an excuse for

Every one knows how to walk prop

so many walk badly. The body should
be carried erect, the chest well out, the
head back, while the arms should
swing freely at the sides. The pace
should be regulated to ones strength.
Every one should walk fast enough
and far enough to get the body in a
comfortable glow. To get the best re-

A chiropodist advises that foot com
fort is much enhanced as the spring
weather approaches if all callous
places on the feet are made perfectly
smooth. This can be done easily and
the feet kept In excellent condition by
using n fine pumice stone every morn
Ing after the bath. The pumice stone
should, Of course. be wet. and if rubbed
daily over the points on the feet that
have hardened or shown tendency to
harden the places can be made and
kept smooth. After a corn has been
removed. too, a light rubbing daily of
the place where 1t has been will often
prevent its return. These suggestions
are worth noting. for the first spring
days are apt to cause tender feet to
swell and become painful, making
their owners keenly conscious of every
especially tender spot.

RETICENCE.

Our dead are buried facing to the sun;
In foolish eptaphs their faith is told,
And yet they died without victory won,
Leaving world in folly growing old
Now. why should we, among these futile graves,
Proclaim the truth to dead or living dust2
Bow 10 the earth like overwhelmed slaves;
Reborn the freeman of higher trust
Have words a substance wherein light may shine
Can beauty glow upon a trembling soundY
Can aught but deeds foreshadow the diyine2
Or save in symbols can the truth be foundH
Then let no doubt defeat your eager hand,
For all must heed, though few may understand.

BOERS LOSE HEAVILY
RECENT ATTACK ON BRITISH COST
THEM MANY LIVES.

PRETORIA, Nov. 3.-FurtIer details
have been received regarding the attack
by the Beers under Commandant Gen.
Louis Botha last week upon Col. Ben
son's column near Brakenlaagte.
1t appears that Gen. Botha, who had
been joined by a big commando, aggre-
eating LOCO men, attacked Col. Benson s
rear guard Oct. 80 on the march and
captured two guns, but was unable to re-
tam them. Col. Benson fell mortally-
wounded early in the fight.
Maj. Wools-S Sampson took command
collected the convoy and took up posi-
ttoa for defense about 500 yards from en-
trcnchments prepared by the Beers. The
captured guns were so situated that
neither side could touch them.
The Beers made desperate efforts to
overwhelm the whole British force.
charging repeatedly right up to the Brit
ish lines and being driven back each
time with heavy loss. The defense was
stubbornly and successfully maintained
through the whole of rhe following day
ana the succeeding night, until Col. Bar
ter. who had marched all night from
Bushmanskop, brought relief in the
morning of Nov. l. The Beers then re-
tired. Their losses are estimated as be-
tween 800 and 400.
Col Benson did not long survive. Not
only did Gen. Botha direct the attack,
as already cabled, but he personally
shared in the fighting.

many ugly rushes and the police were

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 3.-For the first
time in the West, a priest was ordered
out of a Roman Catholic church. Fa-
thor j. J. Crowley, excommunlcated two
weeks ago for refusing to retract charges
mace against Bishop Muldoon and other
ministers, visited the Cathedral of Holy
Name to attend high mass. He made
no attempt to disguise his identity, and
when he was recognized by Father Bar
ry, chancellor of the archdiocese, who
is now acting pastor of the Cathedral,
and told to leave, ne refused to 90 So
Father Crowley had entered the church
unobserved, passing up the center aisle.
and had taken a seat almost under the
pulpit. Solemn high mass was being
celebrated at the time. When the pres
ence of rather Crowley became known,
Father Barry, chancellor of the arch
diocese of Chicago, was hurriedly sent
for. Upon entering the Cathedral he
went straight to the seat where the eX
communicated clergyman was kneelins
ana ordered him to leave the church.
Father Crowley refused to 60 saying:
Put me out if you dare"
The strain was intense, and one woman
in the congregation tainted. There was
no resort to force, however. Chancellor
Barry signaled to a man in the choir
loft and the sound of the organ ceased
and the singing was hushed. The priests
in the altar stopped the solemn service
at the end of the Gloria and walked
to the benches and laid aside their goide;l
veslments. The altar boys marched out
of the sanctuary through side door,
and the priests, clad in their cassocks,
followed. The next moment the hum
dreds of incandescent lights in the
vaGlted arches were eXtingulshed and the
candle lights or the altar were put out.
The strain was broken when Chancellor
Bdrry appeared in the pulpit and said:
-"Qwing to the presence in this sacred
edlfice of an accommodated priest, the
solemn high mass has been suspended.
We will proceed with a low mass
No sermon was delivered, however, and
the mass was at an end before the con-
gregation was calm again. The parish
toner's fingered around the Cathedral and
watched the deposed priest as he hur-
riel away. None spoke to him.
In a statement issued tonight Father
Crowley insisted that it had been his
desire to avoid involving any of his
brother priests in contesting the order
depriying him of the privilege of wor-
shipping in Catholic churches, and that,
accordingly. he had attended the church
of Archbishop Feehan's own parish
which is the Cathedral. He announced
that he should continue to attend the
services of the Roman Catholic church.

BANQUET FOR The DUKE
KING EDWARD TELLS HIM WHERE
HE HAS BEEN.

LONDON. Nov. 47At the dinner on
board the royal yacht Victoria and AL
bert last Friday evening King Edward,
tcasting the Duke and Duchess of Corn
wall and York, gave al sketch of their
tour. Referring to their arrival at Cape
Town his majesty said:
aThere unfortunately the war is still
prolonged, but we firmly pray for the re-
establishment Of peace and prosperity
In conclusion the king said.
''In all the colonies thus visited they
fulfilled their mission, expressing the
gratitude of the mother country for the
aid generously accorded her in the hour.
Of need, and they were everywhere re-
ceived with a. cordiality of loyal enthus-
iasm which could not nave been sur
passed. The accounts of these receptions
have touched me deeply. and I trust the
practical results will be to draw closer
the strong ties of mutual affection which
band together the old motherland and
her numerous offspring.
The Duke of Cornwall in felicitous
response testified to the intense and en-
thusiastic loyalty shown by the people
everywhere to the king and the throne
and also to the deep love of the mother
country, which was everywhere spoken
of as home.
