The rapidly increasing snare of the

supplied from sugar bcets is shown by
the fact that the total beet sugar pro.

limits Of the present study to forecast
any future developments Of this dra.

that the literary representatives Of the
European beet sugar interests. who as

eventual doom Of cane sugar, have
lately, especially since the Spanish

prophecies but fallen into the opposite
extreme of forecasting the coming ruin

SINGULAR WAR INCIDENT.
why Two Beers Deprived Nurse Oh
Her Horse and Returned 1t
Safely to Her.

A curious incident befell an army
nursing sister while out riding alone
in the northern Transvaal, close to
small town which has been held for
the past year by the English, says the
London Hospital. Two men on horse
back, dressed in what seemed to her
the uniform of our scouts, rode by.
When they had gone little further,
they dismounted, and, taking their
rifles in their hands, came up. grasped
the reins of her horse, and asked her
if "she would like walk" Surprised
at the question, she inquired to what
regiment they belonged. Their an
swer made her aware that. though
claiming to be British, they were really
Beers in disguise. The men spoke to
each other in Dutch, and then one
said to her: "We are Beers, and we
want your horse" The sister, greatly
distressed at the thought of losing the
animal, which was borrowed, begged
the men not to take it. They replied
that they were very short of horses,
and required it badly. EXpostulations
proved unavailing; she had to give way
with as good grace as possible, made
easy to her by their extremely polite
manner and the gentle way in which
she was lifted from her saddle. They
left her with the promise that the sad
die and bride should be returned.
A few days after a letter was brought
by a Boer to a blockhouse to say that
if the English commandant would send
out beyond the British lines, the sis
ter's horse and property would be re-
stored. He did so, and everything
letter explaining that the two men
had been compelled to take the horse,
as they thought that the sister sus-
pected their nationality, and they
feared she would ride at once to the
nearest blockhOuse and report their
whereabouts. They had, therefore.i in or
der to secure their own safety, to choose
between taking her with them be-
yond the blockhouses or the confisca-
ton of her horse, and they chose the
latter as being probably less repug
nant to the sisters feelings. No doubt
the good treatment their own women
have received at the hands of the Brit
ish authorities tends to account for
their friendly and courteous behavior,
but the sister is none the less to be
congratulated upon the result of an
experience that might have been most
unpleasant.
