CAMPAICN,

The disasters of the winter gave him his opportunity, and now the world sees what he has made of it.

“When Sherman through Georgia, he asked General Grant for an old chum, Cavalry Officer Wilson, I think, and when Wilson came he sat up half the night talking to Sherman, who before retiring said : ‘I'll tell you where Grant beats all the restofus He don’t care a damn for what he can’t see the enemy doing, and it scares me like hell.’

“Roberts is like Grant. He is too big to be disturbed at anything, and he quietly does just what he means to do. Accordingly his movements have knocked the Boers out of time.

Dreifontein turns out, by the losses on both sides, to have been one of the hardest fought actions of the war. It has finished the Free Staters and the Free State.

“Roberts entered Bloemfontein on Tuesday and the result has been the Free State resistance.

Meantime the Transvaal Boers solemn- ly declare that they have made Biggars- berg impregnable, but Buller has no need to run his head against Biggars- berg. Lord Roberts by advancing to the Vaal river would turn Biggarsberg and the Boers then must be between two armies.

Piles when Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment is a surer, cheaper, easier way to cure.

Cruel, barbarous methods belong to the dark ages of the past. There was atime when o surgical operation was considered the only possible cure for piles. Notso now. Occa- sionally there is still found a physician whe adheres to this dangerous and expensive method, but to every one who still believes in using the knife, ninety and nine recommend the use of Dr. Chase’s Ointment.

Dr. C. M. Harlan, writing in The American

ournal of Health, said : J ** We know that ‘ Dr. ae eS eae, f meets all the requisitions of the highest stand- ard of ect tent it will be held in high esteem wherever it is — and consequently endorse it to every reader.” ; "7 y force of merit alone Dr, Chase’s Oint- ment has won its way into this wide, wide world, until it has made the name of Dr. Chase familiar in almost every home, and won for . venerable discoverer the title of Ament test Physician.” oo Chase's Ointment has never been known to fail as a cure for piles. It matters not whether blind, itching, bleeding or protruding, Dr. Chase's Ointment i$ an absolute and per-

The official statement shows that by far the bloodiest fighting of the war was at Spion Kop, in Buller’s attempt to reach Ladysmith, during the week, Jan. 17'to Jan. 24. The loss during the week’s fighting, waich occured largely on the day the troops held Spion Kop, aggregated 263 officers and men killed, 347 missing (mostly

And yet even after this terrible loss on the British side the Boers dared not attack the British in turn. How could they hope to win a war by merely sitting still and waiting for attack? The next deadli- est battle to Spion Kop was of course Magersfontein, where 171 officers and men were killed, 692, wounded and 107 missing (practically all killed or wounded and captured), a total of 970 —in one day—in fact mostly in half an hour. Yet again the Boers dared not take the offensive.

THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT.

RUDYARD KIPLING WRITES OF THE

CAPE TOWN OFFICIALR.

The first word from Rudyard Kip- ling since he went to South Africa printed in this week’s issue of Harper’s Weekly. Mr. Kipling cables a long account of British disloyalty, which he calls “ The Sin of Witchcraft.” The burden of his complaint is that British civil officials in Cape Town wink at semi-treasonable acts, and to quote his own words: “‘ The Government will | take care it does not pay any one to be loyal.” He says: ‘The loyalist on the border has his house ripped inside out by the Boers, or rebels, or both ; the disloyalist farm is respected and in’ return he supplies the enemy with food, horses and information. His risk js small. He may possibly—but not if his friends can stop it—be arrested on a charge of treason. He may then be se nt down country to be tried by a sympathetic jury. He hopes, and not without reason, to have his farin re- stored to him after he has undergone
