ROOSEVELT UP A TREE.
The Rough Rider Kept There Four Hours by a
Pack of Wolves.

Colonel Roosevelt's chair was vacant
last night when the hunters at the
keystone ranch gathered for supper.
No anxiety was felt at first, as he had
told the others when he left the cabin
for a solitary stroll just before dusk,
not to wait for him in case he was not
back by supper time. But at 8 o'clock,
Colonel Roosevelt had not returned and
his friends became alarmed. At 10
o'clock they were convinced that he
was the victim of some accident, and
men and dogs started to find him. Pos
sibly, his friends thought, he had fall
en-, while climbing the walls Of canon
and was so injured that he could not
walk. Perhaps he had had another en-
counter with grizzly, and had been
less fortunate than before. It was even
suggested that he had been kidnapped
by a belated party Of Utes who have
been killing game in Colorado.
When he left the cabin Colonel
at some of the numberless little wolves
after which Coyote Basin Is named.
They are exceedingly fleet and cannot
be run down in broken country, so
| he hunted on foot and without the
dogs, taking his chances for coming
upon them by stealth.
But the coyotes were wary and he
did not get shot till in the gathering
darkness he saw the shaggy form Of
gray wolf outlined against the sky on
ridge fully 300 yards away. It was
too dark for accurate aim, but bull
let from Colonel Roosevelt's rife
wounded the beast and sent him limp
ing and yelping over the brow Of the
hill. Colonel Roosevelt followed on the
run. He found the tracks Of the ami
NAL, showing that it's leg had been
broken. A light snow had fallen the
night before, and the bloodstained foot
prints were easily traced. The hunter
was already far from home and in the
excitement Of the chase had lost his di-
rection.
However, he had no thought Of dan
ger until he noticed that the yelping of
the wounded wolf was answered by
others. These gray wolves are twice
as large as the coyote, and dangerous
when in numbers. Colonel Roosevelt
kept away from the thickets and
brought down several of the brutes
when they came too near. Finally it
became too dark for anything but hap
hazard shooting, and as the country
seemed alive with the wolves he clim-
ed tree. In doing so he lost his car
fridge belt. There the party found
him after he had been a prisoner for
four hours. Under the tree were a
half dozen wolves that he had killed
with his revolvers. The others were
soon scattered by the dogs.-Meeker,

SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Now Beginning to Look As If Conquest Of
Beers Is Impossible.

The news that a British infantry
force In pursuit Of Boer commando IN
the neighborhood Of the Vaal river had
been compelled to halt and intrench it
self at Greylingstad to await reinforce
ments, on account Of the ravages Of
enteric fever in its ranks, is ominous
Of what may be expected now for some
time.
According to the army medical re-
ports the coming months Of February
and March are the worst in the year
for enteric fever, so that the Beers,
who are acclimated, have but to keep
up their activity and supplement the
work nature is doing among the Brit
ish troops to bring about a condition OF
things with which Lord Kitchener will
eventually be unable to deal.
Such reenforcements as the govern
ment Is able to send out are being des-
patched from England, and the trans
portation animals and remounts that
can be secured in this country and the
Argentine Republic are being shipped
as fast as they can be purchased. But
they do not meet Lord Kitchener's de-
mand, which is for at least 10000
mounted infantry.
In spite of the efforts and appeals
there Is no enthusiasm for volunteer
ing manifesting itself in Great Britain,
and the colonial contingents reported
to be offered are insignificant in COM
parison with what Is needed. A Rhod-
esian correspondent who has been In
contact with sections Of the Canadian,
Australian and New Zealand contin-
gents that have been in South Afri-
ca, writes that he found them almost
unanimous in desiring to get out Of
the country, finding everything so diff
ferent from what had been represent
ed and they had anticipated. He says
that even among the British settlers
the conviction Is gaining that the war
has been mistake, and that the soon
er peace is made the better for the res
toration Of harmony between the two
white races inhabiting the country.
The situation in Cape Colony ap-
pears to be becoming more serious, but
any point in South Africa Is now such
that only the most meagre and insig-
niflcant details are allowed to pass
out. The reports reaching England by
private individuals and letters make
the general situation in the whole Of
South Africa more gloomy than official
statements represent It..
The worst Of the situation Is that the
longer the war lasts the more difficult
it becomes for the British government
to change its policy without virtually
acknowledging itself In the wrong po-
litically, and militarily unequal to the
task Of subduing few thousands Of
resolute farmers.-New York Sun.

Witherspoon, Esq.
The natal anniversary Of General
Robert E. Lee, the ideal American SOL
dier, citizen and educator, was observ-
ed in the York county court house last
Saturday with appropriate exercises,
under the joint auspices Of the Winnie
Davis chapter of United Daughters Of
the Confederacy and the York County
Teachers association. Quite number
of Confederate veterans and other cit
izers participated.
The decorations Of the court house
were elaborate and tasteful. On the
back wall, over the judges bench,
there were three picture Of Lee-one in
the center and one on either side. The
centre piece was an old time printed
portrait. On the right was a litho-
graph with autograph signature, and
on the left was a representation OF the
general on his famous white horse
"Traveler." A Confederate battle flag
that has seen service, rested over the
central picture, and under the pictures
on either side were swords that were
once drawn and used in support Of the
cause that Lee upheld. Confederate
colors rested on these also, and deco
rated other conspicuous points In the
room. United States flags hung to the
right and left, and the big flag of the
graded school children waved over the
court house door.
Prof. A. R. Banks, president of the
teachers association, not having ar
rived at II o'clock, Vice President K.
A. Dobson presided in his stead, and
opened the exercises by introducing
Rev. w. G. Neville, who conducted de-
yotional exercises and led in prayer,
after which the assemblage-Miss
Mary Schorb leading at the organ
sang America"
Colonel w. G. Stephenson was next
introduced for a short talk, in which
he told Of the heroism with which the
women of the South upheld the cause
during the war, and reviewed the work
of the u. D. C. up to the present time.
He showed conclusively that the peo-
pie of the north were responsible for
the institution of slavery, reciting the
fact that the Mayfiower, which brought
the first load of pilgrims, afterward be-
came the first slave vessel. He argued
also that right was on the side of the
South in all the constitutional contro-
versy that followed on the slavery
question, and which led to the war; but
