perceive mat Aruger haa delivered
himself Into their hands, since the re
sponsibillty of war must rest with the
government which sends out so jr.
emptory a summons to evacuate South
Africa and then set Its own auldiers
in motion.
Thia dispatch U well calculated by Its
conu.mptloUB terms and Its lack of
reason to unite the British nation.
There can be no more ptaoe talk in
any quarter and th lib-ralH will Join
forcrs with the unionists In support
ing active war measures. A gr--at stir
of military preparations haa already
begun. 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

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
