An enormous amount of trans ports Is In readiness to sail and the departure of Sir Redvvrs Buller with an army corps will be hastens'.. The favorite theory among military ohlcers is that Sir Redwra' win ie mrougn tne capital of the Oranpe Free State, that the P.oer army will be ultimately drawn Into that quarter and that the rational forces will cut off Its retreat. The ultimate plan of campaign Is lens important than the early stage of hostilities when the 3iltlsh forces will be outnumbered by the Du'ch allies and In dang, r of meeting with a serious reverse. Kru ger, however, with his perverxe talent for inertia seems to have waited too long before striking the first blow. ceive them in fact, ignored their pres- ence. When they got aboard they bad to shift for themselves. No one in au thority so mnch as made on inquiry rela tive to their comfort. When Croker appeared the bandplayed ' Hail to tbe Chief." The mayor bowed humbly before him and city commis sioners turned errand boys to anticipate bis slightest wish. Squads of police cleared a way for him if be wished to move across the deck, and the guests of the oity were forgotten. No provision had been made for them beyond permit ting them to ride in the same boat with the boss. On the reception committee there were some distinguished men, bat Tammany had planned that Boss Croker should do tbe receiving, and he did. lie stood by the gangway when Dewey came aboard, the other members of the committee kept well back by two lines of police. The situation was peculiar. It canned much cotnnieut, but the boss seemed to enjoy the role he had selected for himself. He was firat to greet the admiral, then he led him off to the cabin and stood at bis right throughout the reception. Other memliers of the committee were hustled and wc.kene d with their own daily burden to do any more than struggle aluioat hope lessly ngainat tbe physical and mental evils that beset themselvca. with no strength left to care for others. Women with Urge fam ilies find that tbe very ordeal of bringing children into the world, and nursing and rearing them to boyhood and girlhood, is so great a draft upon the mother's strength that she herself become the natural object of care and protection. It is a glorious boon to the women of thia generation that tbe wonderful supportive tonic, originated by Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. V.. i capable of sustaining- them through the ordeal of frequent motherhood and bringing them out of it with unimpaired womanly strength and energy. Motherhood is not only the grandest of woman's possibilities, but is the natural fulfillment of her physical being and when prepared for with proper observance of nature's law and attended by reasonable care should be free from the mental de pression, excessive pain and subsequent prostration so commonly experienced. Thousands of women have found that tbe ac of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription during the expectant time and over the Cursing period imparts precisely the local Strength and constitutional reinforcement needed to carry them over this critical j unct- nre cheerfully, safely, almost painlessly. It affords direct organic endurance constitutional nerve-force. It gives recu perative power; it promotes the secretion bf abundant health r nourishment for the Child during the nursing period. It Is in the best sense the guardian of childhood for it not only enables the mother to take op the work of life again with vigor and enjoyment but through her it imbues the little one with the rugged natural strength which is a constant protection against the physical evils with which childhood is Constantly assailed. What Dr. Pierce' Pavorlte Prescription does for mothers and their children is well exemplified in the experience of Mrs. H. M. Hansrote, of Magnolia, Morgan Co., W. Va. In a recent letter to Dr. Pierc she writes: " I commenced to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite rrracriiiiKjii aonteimne; over two years aRo, and sm glad to testify that it is a Ood trnd to woman- s:'-V.
