DeLAREY'S CLOSE CALL
THE BoER LEADER NARROWLY
 AVOIDS CAPTURE.
British Surrounded 1,5oo Burghers Near Klerksdorp, But All Except 17o Broke Through the Cor
 don-Artillery Captured.

Pretoria, Transvaal Colony. March 2S.- About 1.500 Boers. under DeLarey, Lie benberg. Kempt and Wolmarans, were within the area of Lord Kitchener's latest movement but though surprised by the rapidity displayed by the British troops, gaps in the latter's lines enabled most Of the Burghers to escape. The Boer pris- oners totaled 179 men, including Com mandant H. Kruger and eX-Landrost Neethling of Klerksdorp.
 From the first prisoners captured it was learned that General De Larey him self was outside the actual cordon. hay ing slept some distance westward, but Liebenberg, Kemp and other Boer com manders, were inside the columns of troops The first body, consisting of about 900 Boers. sighted at 10 o'clock in the morning, March 2A retreated at full speed, making for a gap between the British columns race for the opening ensued. British mounted infantry. which had already ridden upwards of fifty miles, pressed their tired horses until many of them gave out, when the men jumped off and raced forward on foot. Some of the mounted men, however, were able to gallop right into the gap, Just ahead of the Burgherfs, whom they met with a warm fire. These troops also sue cee ded in driving back a body of SV0 Boers who were fotced to desert the guns they had captured from the von Dunop con- voN (southWest of Nlerksdorpl In Febru- ary.
 The Boers tried to get through several oIAeniugs, but on each occasion, were forced to double back until they ultimate ly found a gap and passed out of the British lines. within sight Of klerksdorp. Night fell before the pursuing columns could overtake the Boers.
 Five Canadians who fell ont Of their column and tried to work their way back. were surrounded by a Boer force and made a splendid defense, but finally See ing that their case was hopeless. four .f the Canadians surrendered The fifth, however. indignantly refused 10 surren- der and fought single-handed until he WAS klled. This was regarded as one of in. most heroic incidents of the day
 An illustration of the resourcefulness Of inc Roers was given bv Idebenberg and several hundred men, when taking ad- vantage of the confusion of the drive. they formed q commando similar in ar ranpement to that of/a British column. Moving clos" to one of the numerous gaps in the British lines. they succeeded in reaching it and in getting safely away hcforo their ruse was detected.
 The guns captured from yon Donops convoy wer. brilliantly recaptured by the Scottish Horse. which charged mp to th" muzzles of the artillery and rode the Rn,.r runners off their feet before the lat ter had Q chance 10 fire.

CECIL RHoDEs's WILL
Bulk of His Fortune to Be Used fo'
 Educational Purpsses.


 London, March 29.--The Daily Mail says it is in a position to assert that the late Cecil Rhodes left the bulk of his fortune except some personal and family be- quests, to the promotion of his vast im- periai plan of education. This project embraces every land over which the Union Jack flies. its purpose Is the in tellectual betterment of the British race throughout the world and the fostering of the imperial sentiment. The Daily Mail adds that this idea of better ftting younger Britain to cope successfully with rival nationalities was long a. domi- nant scheme with Cecil Rhodes, but that even his closest friends little imagined the absorbing hold 1t obtained upon him until this was disclosed by the terms of his will.
 The details of this plan of education will be made public in a few days.

But He Hadn't the Nerve to Pay the
Price Demanded.
A handsome bachelor of Baltimore,
we'll known in social and educational
circles, acknowledges the truth of the
following story: He was driving with
a very pretty and attractive young wo-
man when on the outskirts of the city
they met lad of about twelve years
leading by chain a singularly ugly
but finely bred bull terrier. The pretty
girl went into raptures over the dog,
and her escort determined the animal
should be hers.
Say, sonny" he called. "what will
you take for your dog?"
"Nawthing," replied the lad.
Nonsense" cried Mr.. Blank, Here's
$5 for him.
"No, won't. This here dog amt for
sale.''
'Ten," said Mr.. Blank, and then,
growing desperate Fifteen. twenty"
But the owner still refused
All the time the conversation was go
ing on the youth, although talking to
the man in the buggy, kept his eyes
fixed on the other occupant of the vehi-
Gle, and at last he said gravely:
''I don't want yer money, but if you'll
just give that lady there II kiss you
may have the dog"
Mr.. Blank was speechless. He stared
at the boy an instant and then put the
whip to his horse, starting him off at a
run.
The story goes that mile was gone
over without a word being spoken,
when as the horses rapid gait became
slower as it turned down a country
lane the pretty girl turned ever so
slightly and said shyly. "Oh. Mr..
Blank. why didn't you buy that dog|'-

Mans Tnnuence.

The only responsibility that man
cannot evade in this life is the one he
thinks of least his personal influence.
Mans conscious influence when he is
on dress parade, when he is posing to
impress those around him, is woefully
small but his unconscious influence.
the silent, subtle radiation of his per-
sonality, the effect of his words and
acts, the trifies he never considers, is
tremendous Every moment Of life he
is changing to a degree the life of the
whole world. Every man has an at
mosphere which is affecting every 9th
er So silently and unconsciously is
this influence working that man may
forget that it exists.-W. q. Jordan.
