HotO Delarey Crushed
Lord Mefbuer,s Force

The defeat and capture of Lord Me-
thnen by the Boer General Delarey has
plunged England into gloomy depres-
sion. In a battle before daybreak on
March z, a force of 1900 British SOL
diers was stampeded; forty-one men
were killed, seventy-seven wounded,
over 200 captured, and Lord Methuen
himself made a prisoner, after his leg
had been broken. The Beers were uni
formed in British uniforms OF khaki.
The fight took place Just before
dawn, between Winburg and Lichten-
burg, In the western part of the Or
ange River Colony. The British force
numbered 1.200 men and was on its
way to Povirainesfontein, where 1t

the Loyal North Lancashire Regiments
showed conspicuous courage in pro-
tecting the wagons, refusing to sur
render until resistance was useless.
Delarey's forces were almost all
dressed In the British uniform, which
made 1t impossible for the infantry 20
distinguish between their men and the
enemy when the mounted troops were
driven in on them.
The Beers numbered 1900 men, with
a ffteen-pounder and a pompom. De-
larey. Celliers, Kemp vermass. Tromp.
and other Boer commanders were pres
ent.
In order the better to cope with the
guerilla tactics of the Beers the British
have established a large number OF
b~lockhouses and are still adding to the
number. These blockhouses are con-
structed chiefly along the lines Of rail-
way and in the districts where the

the British replied vigorously t. the
boer fire their resistance was hopeless.
The Beers attacked first from the ear
and then simultaneously on both
TANKS.
The fighting continued until 10
o'clock a. m. by the remnants of the
British column before 1t surrendered,

the prisoners. Three British officers
were killed, including Lieutenants G.
r. Venning, and T. P. w. Nesham, of
the Royal Artillery. who were both
struck down while serving their guns
with shot. The British lost four guns.
According to the latest reports of the
battle, the Beers charged from three
sides. Five hundred and fifty men
were pursued by the Beers four miles
from the scene OF the action.
The British column was moving In
two parties. One, with the OK wagons,
left Twe-Bosch at 3 a. N. The other,
with the mule wagons. started an hour
later. Just before dawn the Beers at
tackled. Before achievements could
reach them the real guard broke.
In the meantime q large number of
Beers galloped up on both TANKS.
These at first were checked by The
flank parties. but the panic and STAN

the mule wagons. with a terrible mix

OK wagons. All efforts to check them
were unavailing.
Major Paris collected forty men and
occupied a position a mile in front
Of the wagons, which were then halt
ed. After a gallant but useless de-
Tense the Beers rushed into the OK
wagons, and Lord Methuen was
wounded in the thigh. Paris. being
surrounded, surrendered at 10 a. m.
Later reports say the Beers made a
sudden fianking and enveloping at
tack from the rear. The first disorder
was occasioned by the native boys
with the led horses galloping through
the mule convoy as the latter was en-
deavoring to comply with Gen. Me-
tLuen's directions to close on the OK
convoy. This disorder In the mule
convoy communicated itself to the
mounted troops, and Beers dressed In

TO BE HAND

Anybody who can use q brush at all

novel eggs by taking a little trouble.
The prettiest idea. and one which can
be carried out easily, is to take a goose
egg and paint a little spray of violets
on It. These blossoms are symbolic
of the spring. and so especially ap-
propriate. Next make a little bunch
Of paper ~violets, ending rs described

are to fill the opening which has been
made to blow out the egg. Fill the
rest Of the egg with csndied violet
leaves. This makes as beautiful a lit
tie egg as the heart could wish, and
especially dear to the recipient as rep
resenting the work and thought of the
giver. A pretty variation of this no
ton can be made by drawing roses
instead Of v~iolets, using a paper rose
for the stopper and filling the egg with
candied rose leaves. Endless designs
are shown In the confectionery shops
Of the cities. but they can be painted
at home just as well, and will be o

In the Christian churches of all ma.

on which the Great Teacher, the Jesus
Christ. rose from the dead and thereby
contaminated his divine plan Of re-
deeming the human race. Since Eas-
ter is so indissolubly associated with
the life of the Founder of the Christian
religion. n would naturally assume
that 1t is a purely Occidental festival,

A Critic Who Declares There Are
None Worth the Reading.
Where are the books for girls? Adults
books there are and books for boys by

Critic but where is the book for the
young girls? Boys books, tales Of
hunting. adventure and sport, abound.
They are good books, too, sane,
"healthy," full of fine spirit and life.
But the girl-what does she ready The
feeblest, thinnest, most colorless lucu-

novels written for mature minds, for
men and women who have some knowl-
edge of the world and powers of dis
elimination, are not good reading IN
any sense Of the word for a sixteen
year-old girl In the formative period OF
her life.
But for all the great parade and pratt

less remains a fact that the great ma
jority Of twentieth century opinion is
virtually oriental In its conception of
the young girl. The world today Is a
