supply ran out. The troops lay in the
blazing sun, and many went raving mad
through thirst The sufferings of the
wounded were atrocious.
After a fight lasting "a hours, the
enemy was driven from its position,
but further operations were impossible
owing to the complete exhaustion OF
the men and to the fact that the artillery

these days seldom moves his pen except
where his heart is touched. So Rider
Haggard, who made such success with
"She" and king Solomon's Mines, has
come to this country to make report to
the British government upon the Saliva
ton Army and other experiments IN
farm colonies. A big, slow-spoken man
is Haggard, thoroughly in earnest, g
member of parliament, like Sir Gilbert
Parker. For years Haggard has not
suffice his needs, and he devotes himself
to the splendid dream, in which Ruskin
would have sympathized, of restoring
green England from the grimy,
strength-destroying towns that now
swallow up her people.
We shall soon need enthusiasts of that
sort in this country. Read Miss Brandt's

rate from consumption is above so per
