All Modern WarshiDs Are Rams.
All turreted ships are called monitors
after Ericsson's celebrated ship, Mont
tor. All modern warships are meant to
ram and to that end are built with a
projecting PROV under water extending
to a considerable distance from the
regular bow line. There are no vessels
Known as rams nowadays. Ericsson's
Monitor was not built with project
Ing PROV or beak. Al matter Of fact,
IN modern ships Of war are rams in

is a Republican in national affairs,
but his popularity in Georgia is such
that when Governor Candler was Sc
lecting the "colohels who are indis.
pensible on all social affairs of state,
the man from Kansas" was made one
of his aids. Colonel Dyer owns Chat
eau le Vert, the home OF the famous
Madame le Vert. and he has filed 1t
with an almost priceless collection Of
ante.bellum furnishings. In his mus.
&c room is a spinnet over a hundred
years old an old Stradivarius. and a
music box wonderfully inlald with
gold and mother of pearl. His buffet
shows a silver service presented to
Madame ie Vert by Lafayette, huge.
heavily carved loving cup with the
royal coat of arms and monogram Of
the czar Of Russia, presented to Gov
ernor Pickens, of South Carolina, by
Alexander, and a wonderful collection
of cut glass decanters and toddy tumb-
lers that were used by southern plant
ers of ante-belum times. He has a
rare collection of miniatures and jew
eled boxes. each of which could tell
a tale of famous bellies and court gal
lants. But Colonel Dyer's love of
curios is not confined to things OF by
gone days, for his collection Of Indian
relics, which took the first prize at
the worlds fair at Chicago, and which
is now on exhibition in the public H.
brary at Kansas City, is the finest
private collection in the world

woMAN,s WORK.

IN the selection. or rather election,
of teachers for the public schools in
Ardmore for the next scholastic year
only female teachers have been
chosen. This very forcibly sustains
the argument that woman is supplant-
ing man in many lines of business
ana gets right down to business as a
wage Garner There is but one objec-
tion advanced TO this encroaching OF
mans usual vocation, and it is the
salary attached. Woman it seems is
not so particular about the salary as
she is to get the job. Her labor and
knowledge of duty being equal to that
of the sterner sex, she unhesitatingly
takes an under hold on the dollar
which is spurned by the man, and
quietly disinherita him of HIS job

"a NInht in Bohemia

taken in any local affair as that which
clings to "A Night in Bohemia, ="
which the Elks will play at the
Brooks opera house for the benefit Of
the charity fund It is one Of the
brightest. prettiest comedies ever
written and in addition to thirty-fye
songs, fifteen specialtes, it contains
that little touch of nature that makes

Prisoner OF Zenda," once said; Il
like "A Night in Bohemia not only
because it made me laugh, but It
touched my heart strings with ITS
beautiful character Of the old Bo-
hemian." About forty people win be
in the cast.
This is the same piece which was
played at Oklahoma City few weeks
ago to crowded houses, and was ac-
knowledged by the papers to be the
best entertainment that had been pre-
sented during the season.
Tickets can be secured from any
member Of the Elk lodge.

The boys had assembled at the old
school house to practice, which is
right across the street from Miss Wi.

the door just as some fellow blew a
blast on the horn. and as it was very
dark, she imagined tnat it was a fierce
dog springing right at her throat
With q terrible Shrek she jumped
back into the house, and brought ev-
erybody 10 the rescue, and a party
was quickly organized to go out and
dispaCch the dog. but they hardly
reached the door when the whole

rlETHUEN'S STORY OF
CAPTURE BY BOERS.
Sends Officer to Gen. Kitchener With
Dictated Dispatch in Which Cor
rection of Original Report shade

London, March 1.-THE war office has
received the following communication
from Lord Kitchener at Pretoria:
Lord Methuen has sent me n staff Of
ficer with a dictated dispatch. from which
81 appears that certain particulars pre-
viously given are inaccurate. The rear
screen OF mounted troops was rushed and
overwhelmed at dawn There was gap
OF a mile between the OK and the mule
conveys.
The mounted supports 20 the rear of the
screen, which General Methuen i'm
mediately reinforced by all the available
mounted troops and section OF the
Thirty-eighth Battery, maintained them
selves for an hour. during which the con-
yoys were closing up without disorder.
In the meantime 200 infantry were
being disposed by Lord Methuen 10 resist
the Boer attack, which was outhanking
the left of the rear guard The Beers
pressed that attack hard, and the mount
ed troops, attempting TO fall back on the
infantry, got completely out of hand
1.-TWO guns OF the Thirty-eighth Battery
were thus left unprotected, but continued
in action until every man with the ex-
ception OF Lieutenant Nesham was hit
Lieutenant Nesham was called on 10 sur
render. and upon refusing TO do so, was
killed.
Lord Methuen, with 200 of the North
cumberland Fusiers and two guns of tho
Fourth Battery, then found himself iso-
lated, but held on for three hours. Dur
ing this period the remaining infantry
namely 100 OF the Lancashires, with some
40 mounted men. mostly Cape Police, who
