General De Vets Mobility.

James Searle, South African,
prominent for his veldt lore and abili-
ties as an athlete, tells story of Cen
oral De Vets mobility. Searle is a
lieutenant in one of the scouting corps,
and thrice during the last few months
mad 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
message to De Wet. The Boer lead
er did not report the message, but evil
IDENTITY 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 few minutes rest
every few hours, for the sake Of the
oxen.

And underneath the cloud, or in it,

from his hand,
And lowering crept away, and left the

Then came the kings son, wounded,
sore bestead,
And weaponless, and saw the broken

Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden

And ran and snatched it, and with bat

Lifted afresh. he hewed his enemy

And saved great cause that heroic

Jingle Land.

Jingle Land.
In Jingle Land, in Jingle Land,
There's rhyme in the air;
They talk in rhyme, they think in
rhyme,
The babies cry in tune and time
It's very jolly there!
The boys and girls in Jingle Land,
They never walk or run;
When in the house they dance about,
They always march when they go
l tell you, they have fun.
In Jingle Land, in Jingle Land,
The doggies wag their tails,
A-marking feet and beating time
In fact their barking seems to rhyme
With other doggles' walls.
The gracious king of Jingle Land
A mighty poet he!
In writing odes and roundelays
He whites away the nights and days,
AS happy as can be!
I cannot go to Jingle Land,
1t is too far away,
But to my home much joy I bring.
When round the house dance and
sing
About my work and play.

that was lately held in London for the
benefit of certain charities and hospi-
tails. She placed on exhibition her ia
nous collection of dolls dressed in the
costumes Of various countries. The
Queen of Holland herself dressed some
Dutch dolls; and, indeed, dollies Of
every nation, dressed as fine ladies and
as peasants, were represented. In or

dolls might be in the queens family.

appropriately went to a boy, New.

the others, one in rich brocade and fine

Has a 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 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
prominent part in several others
previously. Joining the army in 1878,
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 capable and re-
sourceful leader this quiet soldier is
when he has full control in his owr
hands.

No man ever had more romantic
wooing than Richard Brinsley Sheri-
dan when he determined to make Miss
Linley, the beautiful Nightingale of
Bath" his wife. She counted her suit
ors by the score, but Sheridan's roman
tic devotion won her heart. He dis
guised himself as coachman merely
to have the pleasure Of driving her;
he escorted her to a French nunnery to
rescue her from the prosecutions OF an
odious wooer, with whom he fought
two duels on her behalf. And this
was but type of the chivalrous ad-
ventures which ultimately enabled him
to lead her to the altar in April, 1878.
His second wooing was just as per-
sistent. When Sheridan first met the
beautiful daughter OF the dean of Win
cester he was a middle-aged man, and
anything but personally fascinating.
Miss Ogle could not bear the sight Of
him and called him IAN odious. crea-
ture" and ridiculous fright" but with
in short time she was glad to give
her hand and heart to the most i.s,,>
cinating man in England, and hus-
band of whom any girl might be
proud"
1t was Mrs. Lewis rather than Dis
raeli who did the wooing, for she made
no concealment of her admiration for
the rising statesman, and pursued him
with attentions which in a younger
woman would have been indecent, says
the st. Louis Republic And yet the
"dowdy widow" succeeded where mere
youth and beauty would certainly have
failed, for who can resist the worship
Of woman? And she succeeded by
lifelong devotion in winning her hus-
bands heart as we'll as his gratitude.
Mr.. Gladstone's wooing was much
more conventional and ceremonious, as
might be expected. 1t was over din

whom she was to devote her life. "Do

man who was sitting next to her said.
Some day he will be prime minister
Of England"
4, No wonder the young girls interest
was aroused; and when, in the winter
following they met again in the low
ers' land Of Italy what wonder that the
wooing proceeded apace, and that the
foundation of one Of the most beautiful
married lives in history was laid?

Charles Dickens, Present.

Charles Dickens was always very
fond of children. One day he was
walking in the neighborhood Of Gad's
Hill, not long after he had acquired his
property there, when he suddenly ran
into little girl wheeling dolls per-
ambulator. In an instant the tiny ve-
hicle upset, the dolls being thrown out.
1t was bad accident as far as they
were concerned, for wax heads and
limbs are not calculated to stand much
hard usage. The little maid burst into
tears, and, much to the novelist's sor-
row, refused to be comforted.
'"Then come home with me-" Dick
ems whispered soothingly, "and we'll
see if we can't find some grand waxen
lady in silks and satins for you"
So back to the big house the two
Went, and sure enough, up in the child

few prettily dressed dolls. With
these safely tucked in her perambula-

the parcel his small visitor brought
him he was surprised and delighted to
see copy Of David Copperfeld."
