needed, for little Doo-oo wriggled, leaped,
squirmed and flung himself about In her

nearly everybody on board, liked everyone
and everything Immensely, and called every
person and object by tile same name.
"Doo;oo which name, in turn, everyone

"Doo-oo," and stopped him to receive

just as the great man would be. about to
exhibit his glorious gold watch, the baby
would catch sight of the chiefest and nastiest
OF the Lascars and show his preference for
him by crying out "Doo-oo " and straining
away from the Captain to be carried to this

acquainted, because she did not know how
TO talk to baby or what to do with one.
She made few attempts TO interest the
child, but felt so awkward and ignorant that
she would have withdrawn from the ex-
perience except for little Doo.oo, who took
a prodigious liking to her. He screamed
her name, "Doo-oo," at her from amidshps
when he saw her in the stern. He seemed
never to miss seeing her-almost behind
and through the deck-houSes when they got
between him and this object of his most
violent and maSterful Irritation.

inconsequential dialogue end.
And then miracle came to pass; for Miss
Buchanan took him in her arms and, with
the action, found that she knew as well
how to handle a baby as If she had been the
mother of six. After all, It was nothing but
the woman In her-this wonderful miracle.

greatly enjoying it.
Little Doo-oo, an infant passenger, was
destined TO affect her life more than She or
any one else would have believed possible.
Little Doo-oo was not merely a baby. He
was paragon. He was one of the few
babies in the whole world who was as good

MAYOR TURNED HIS BACK

Boies planned to call on Mayor Parker
this morning, but Miss Boies backed out
So Mrs. Nation went alone.
It was frosty reception which await
ed her. Storm and rage as she would,
she could not thaw the ice. Mrs. Nation
tried the mayors door, and it was lock-
ed. She pounded loudly. Councilman
Griley, who was having a little private
tete-a-tete with the mayor, opened the
door little crack, and peeked out. Mrs
Nation threw her weight against the
door and pOunced into the room.
'.Welli I've come to see you again.

The mayor was awfully impolite. He
did not even shake hands. He gave him
self a slight push and turned his swivel
face of his caller. There he sat through
out the whole performance, and did not
say a word. Mr.. Griley attempted to in
ject a remark or two at first but Mrs.
Nation convinced him that his chips
didn't go in her game.
Mrs. Nation, after abusing Mayor

Kitchener who reports that about 290
Beers we're killed, wounded or captured.
There were about a hundred British
casualties.
The British also captured three guns
and considerable quantity of supplies.
Commandant Potgieter was among the
Beers killed Lord Kitchener, in a dis
patch dated from Pretoria Sunday. April
13, recounts how Col. Colenbrander, after
locating Commandant Beyer's laager at
PSel kOp, moved his force by different
routes from Petersburg, TransTaal
colony, blocking the principal lines OF
rail- The fighting commenced April s.
when the Inniskilling Fusileers attacked
MOlipSpOOrt, covering the BOer position
and by dusk had seized a hill eastward
of the pOOrt after considerable OppOSi-
wounded. Since then the operations con-
tinued daily. Col. Brander's latest re-
port, April II, gave the Boer losses in
killed, wounded and prisoners at 106
men. The colonel hoped to be able to re-
port further captures.
The most severe fighting occurred
April II in western Transvaal, where
General Ian Hamilton has replaced
General Nethuen in command of the
British troops. The Beers attacked
Colonel Kekewichs force near Rooiwal,
and fighting at close quarters ensued
The Beers We're repulsed. leaving on tie

TO TALK WITH DOM PAUL.
London, April 14.-It is said that the
communication of the Boer leaders to
Lord Kitchener amounted to little more
than a request for permission to use the
cable in consulting Mr.. Kruger and the
Boer delegates in Europe regarding a
basis for a peace settlement There is a
distinctly hopeful feeling in official quar-
ters
