BOERS ARE ACTIVE
tfhile England Continues to Dis

censorship is tightly drawn
miantly Authentic News From the
Con e, l uel “ J ....
Seat of Hostilities Is
Hard to Get.
A London special says: In the west
ern field large operations are appar
ently about to begin.
The Boers are showing great activ
jt in the Xaanwpoort and Colesberg
districts. Many of the guns hitherto
Lins Lord Methuen are believed to
Lye °gone to Norval’s point. The
British, therefore, may find formida
ble bodies of Boers there.
The war office announces that nfteen
transports will be dispatched between
to ,hv and Monday with 13,000 troops.
These 13,000 are not included in the
jso 000 due to be in South Africa on
February loth. The Eighth division
0 f 10,000 men is still available to
Military opinion in London contin
ues to assume, from very slender ma
terials, that General Buller is again
throwing his army against the Boer
works. A retired general,Sir William
Henry Green, whose distinguished
career gives weight to his opinion,
thinks that General Buller with 25,-
000 men is making a wide detour to
the west and north in order to avoid
the roughest parts of the country. As
General Buller must have some thous
ands of wagons, Sir William Green
points out that the advance would
necessarily be slow.
No authentic word is at hand save
that the war office reaffirmed orally to
newspapers inquiries at a late hour
that it could not confirm the reported
advance. There the Natal situation
rests.
Sir Alfred Milner, in a letter written
three weeks ago to the former lord
mayor of Belfast, said the war would
last three or four months longer. Sir
Alfred Milner has sent most hopeful
and encouraging reports to the gov
ernment regarding the prospects of
the campaign and it is understood that
his views are shared by Lord Roberts.
The censorship seems to have com
pletely shut clown the correspondents
at Spearman’s camp. No dispatch
from that point appears in Monday
morning’s papers and nothing has
been allowed to issue since Sunday
evening.

Sharp Practices ia Oolf.
In regard to the sharp practices that
ere sometimes resorted to in golf, this
story is of interest. It is told by a re
liable golfer as a fact and illustrates
the keen interest in the success of his
employer which many a caddie evinces
often at the cost of his employer’s
reputation and always at the cost of
his own place if he is discovered. On
this ocasion the player’s ball was
found lying behind a big stone in a
bunker. The crafty caddie gave the
6tone a kick, accompanying the act
with remark,“D’ye think that’s wood?”
The act resulted in the stone being
moved sufficiently to permit the golfer
to find his ball in a playable position.
Horace Hutchinson Is authority for
a story of even deeper craft on the
part of a caddy. This one, nutchinson
says, caried with him a supply of
green-painted wooden pins. With these
he generally waited until the light be
gan to get a little uncertain and then,
when chance afforded him an oppor
tunity, he inserted the pins heads up
in the green in the line of his oppo
nent’s put As might be expected,
this often caused the gutty to take a
bad turn, there by missing the hole.
While the exasperated player would
be swearing at the wiriness of the
grass at a favorable moment the caddy
would put his foot on the pins and
drive them into the sod, thus destroy
ing fill evidences of his guilt. A cer
tain Scottish player is said to have
trained his collie to push his oppo
nent’s ball into the burn with his nose.

Infantile Exclusiveness.
There is a little Sixteenth street girl,
still under six, who may be described
as the limit in the matter of sensitive
ness. Likewise, she has her points in
respect to dead gameness. She was
taken out to Takoma Park about a
week ago to spend a few days with
her aunt. The tot played around in
the front yard of her aunt’s pretty
home for a while. Then her aunt let
a playful little fox terrier into the
front yartj, saying to the child:
“This is your little four-footed
cousin.”
Five minutes later the aunt returned
to the front yard to call the kid into
the house, but she wasn’t anywhere to
be seen. The fox terrier was playing
alone. There was a scrambling hunt
for the tot, and all kinds of alarm, but
the little girl didn’t turn up. The aunt
hustled into town. The little girl was
home with her mother.
She had walked to the Seventh street
road as soon as the fox terrier pup
was presented to her, and, not having
the price of a ride into town on the
cars, had asked the driver of a groc
ery delivery wagon to give her a lift
In. The driver took her home.
“Why didn’t you stay at auntie’s?”
her mother asked her, in surprise.
“She introduced me to a dog!” re
plied the haughty young person.—

An Ingenious Invention.
A young man In Worcester, Mass.,
has Invented a loom for weaving
straw matting that does away with
the shuttle. An ingenious contrivance
picks up the straws and pushes them
through the warp ns a harness on the
loom draws the straw warp up and
down. Most of the straw mats used
in America are woven by hand in
Manila. Japan and Chinn. Some of
the finer grades of matting come from
India. Machine made mats will be a
novelty in this country.
