U.K. Mnnkittri-'k in the December Woman's Home CouipainuuI wish that good old Santa Would travel like a show, And to his tent of playthings For nothing let m? g.i; And take along ray stockings, To fill in langhirg glee With all the things he foudly n.Mjwi +v> j rtiriii'mio tree. xxau^o uyvu VUJ ? I'd see the pasteboard camel Wiuk at the Kangaroo; I'd see the Caina wombat And qnagga chase the gnu; I'd see toe rnbber o>trich Serenely blink his eye To Ree the monkey caDture The peanut on the fly, And then I'd see old Santa With all his books and rhymes; I'd grab him by the whiskers And kiss him fifty times And on frs back go riding Beneath the fairy dome. And with a lot of playthings Go running ga;ly home. Tis then I think old Santa Should up and go away, . . And in some other village Put np his tent next day; And then go on still farther, Further still and still, To let all lovely children Their great big stocking fill. 'Twould alwaye be Cnristmas. All musical with joy. And bending tree and turkey And hobby horse and toy; For while upon hia travels Old Santa'd scatter cheer; He'd make a Christu as somewhere Each day throughout the year. ? VI ^ 0 Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111., makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungp; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that # no medicine could cure her. Her - druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from firet dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free tiial bottles of this Great Discovery at J. E. Kaufmann's Drug Store. Ooly 53 cents and $1 00, every bottle guaranteed. * Tids Turning. ? The Boers Have Licked the Biitisb Oat of Their Boots. Dating tho past week the Boer and British have fonght an important , bittle at Margersfontien, in which the British were whipped completely oat of their boots. The British forces were under the command of General Methuen, and ran upon the entrenched Boers before the presence of the enemy was discovered. In the fight that ensued there was a great slaughter of the British, one regimeDt, the Highlanders, losing some 600 meD, and were compelled to retreat to Modder K'.ver. The following is an account of the latest operations in South Africa: London, December 15, 4:15 a. m ?The war office is still without news from Ladysmith other than that al ready published. The general belief was that the large Boer forces Lord Methuen encountered at Magersfontsin were partly drawn from Natal and that General Buller will strike a blow before these have time to return. The stories circulated yesterday thit General Builer and General Clery had entered Ladysmith and captured 10,000 Boers are totally without confirmation. The war office has heard Dothing of the relief of Lidysmith and do not credit the reports, saying that the relief of the place at such an early date i3 believed to be practically impossible. Modder River, Cape Colony, Tuesday, December 12 ?Details gathered here by a representative of the Associated Press among the wounded British acd Boers give some idea of . the desperate nature of the fight at Marger?fonteic. The Highlanders did all that the most gallant troops in the world could do, but it ^as impossible to face the terrible fire of the Boers. The British artillery a*ain saved the situation and divided the honors of the day with with the Scots. The batteries worked for hours under a galling fire. According to the Boer stories it was impossible for the burghers to have escaped fearful loss. One Boer prisoner eaid a single lyddite shell j killed or wounded over 70 and that two other shells burst over two bodies of Boers enscounccd behind the range, doing fearful damage. All agree that the Boers fought throughout with the utmost gallantry. Their sharpshooters seldom missed the mark. A b'eaforth Highlander says that while he was lying wounded on *the field he saw a Bo*r of typical German appearance, faultlessly dressed, with polished top boots, a skirt with silk ruffles and a cigar iD bis mcutb, walking among the sand hills picking off the Biitish. He was quiie alone and it was apparent from the frequent use he made of field glasses f VHEALT H Y B RIDI i 1 M MY WIFE HAS BUrFEREC ~ ,1 * J fi AA i1 or more in an ejcven years, mm i;uo n several doctors, butnothinsrdidheran: herG.
