/ Gen. Knox Gallantly Gives Credit Where Due for the Victory of November 6. THERE WERE TWO DAYS' HARD FI6HTINB Tike Canadian Dm woo it« and Mount* ed Infantry Had a Conspicuous I'art in the Battle and Acquitted ^hem*elven Bravely—An luprece- j dented Event.

London, Nov. 11.—Lord Roberts, i telegraphing from Johannesburg urt- | der date of November 8, reports to ! the war office as follows: Gallant Gen. fvnox. “Gen. Knox stated that he takes no ! credit for'the very successful engagement of November 6, which was due, in the first instance,to the determination of Le,Gallais never to lose touch with the enemy, and, secondly, to the abft way in which De Lisle handled the firing line after Le Galiais and Ross were wounded. Smith Dorrien’a Report. “Smith-Dorrien reports that the two days’ fighting mentioned was very hard. His force consisted of 250 mounted troops from the Fifth lancers, his Royal Canadian dragoons and mounted rifles, two Royal Canadian artillery guns, four guns of the Eighty-fourth battery and 900 infantry of the Suffolks and Shrop(hires. The Boers Stood Well. “The Boers were met soon after starting from Belfast and hung on the front, flanks and rear until the Komati river was reached, where they stood at a very strong position. From this they were forced to retire by a wide turning movement by the Suffolks end the Canadian mounted troops around their flank. All the first day Boer signal fires were lighter ed in all directions, and before morning they were strongly reinforced. Casualties the First Day. “Our, casualties the first day were six killed and 20 wounded, chiefly oi th$ Shropshires, who fought splendidly. The next day the Boers tried fc seize the strong position on the bank of the Komati, from which they were beaten out November 6, but were prevented by Col. Evans, with the Canadian mounted troops and two of the Eighty-fourth guns, galloping two miles and seizing it i* the nick ol time. “The rear,on the return march, was defended by Col. Lessard, with the Canadian dragoons and two Royal Canadian guns under Lieut. Morrison. “Smith-Dorrien says no praise can be too high for the devoted gallantry these troops showed in keeping off the enemy from the infantry convoys. An Unprecedented Event. “In the afternoon an event, unprecedented in this war, occurred, when some 200 mounted Boers suddenly charged the rear guard to within 7C. yards, when they were stopped by the Canadian dragoons. During the fight 16 of the Canadians fell into the hands of the enemy who treated them kindly4 and released them after removing their own dead and wounded, during which operation the Canadians were compelled to lie on their faces in order that they might not see how heavily the Boers had suffered. “Our casualties were two killed and ® 12 wounded.” % MAJ.-GEN. BULLER HONORED. The Freedom of the City of Southampton Conferred In the Presence of Thousands. Southampton, Nov. 11.—This city was in gala attire, and thousands of visitors from London and elsewhere participated in, the ceremony of conferring the freedom of the city upon 3en. Buller. A civic and military escort led the way to the scene. Gen. Buller’s carriage was deluged with flowers. Lady Buller accompanied *he general. Replying to the address on the presentation of the freedom of the city the geaeral exhibited gredt emotion and answered his critics vigorously. Se declared that when the history of the war was fairly written it would be found that the British army in South Africa had confronted difficulties far greater than any army operating against an equally civilzed enemy had ever previously experienced. He cited the Boers’ superior range of vision and familiarity with the kaffir language and country. On his arrival at Aftershot Gen. Buller will be received by Maj.-Gen. Sir William Francis Butler, in command of the district, and other dignitaries.

FOUNTAIN FOR POULTRY. Where Large Floeka Are Kept the Device Here Described Will Prove of Greet Value. The one the drawing was made from holds about 13 gallons, but could be made/to contain twice that quantity if lesired. It is a capital idea for both summer.and winter. 1 have used this one for four years and it has giv^in perfect satisfaction. Anyone can make the frame for the fountain and any tinsmith can make a galvanized tank after this pattern. The cost of the frame, including end rods and braces, will not be over 50 cents, while the tank will cost about 15 cents per pound, all made. In summer it should be kept out of doors, either on grass or on a wood platform, so the ducks and geese cannot foul the

TEAR-AROUND FOUNTAIN. (Dotted Lines Show Arrangement for Heating in Winter.) water. A shade of some kind should be furnished. During the winter the fountain should be furnished with a base, as indicated by dotted lines. Use a brooder stove in freezing-weather. It will be unnecessary to burn the stove during the night, for a very little heat will thaw it out in the morning. It will be better to set the fountain between two pens, for the birds can drink from both sides, as may be seen in the picture. In constru’ctihg one of these fountains, loose pin butt hinges are used to fasten the bottom to the top. The rod or axle on which it rests goes completely through the fountain and is of galvanized iron, being soldered around it to make it tight. When filling the fountain is turned bottom up and made fast by the little hooks, as seen in the cut. The rod should be exactly in the center of the tank. The principle is the same as all fountains that turn in the hand, only the frame in which it rests makes it possible to increase the size.— American Agriculturist. POULTRY YARD MANURE. It la of Inestimable Value to Any Farmer Who Will Save and Utilise It Rationally. One of the best and most available manures is that which our poultry supplies. First of all, it costs no ready money apd is an article of value to any farmer who will utilize it. How to save, mix and use this manure has been a study with scores of farmers during the past few years. In nearly every farmer’s yard are to be seen from 100 to 200 fowls, and often they have no proper shelter, and The droppings are lost. Often no thought is given to gathering the manure for fertilizing purposes, and in the spring the owner will pay from $60 to $75 per ton for guano, while the poultry manure that goes to waste on his own farm is almost equally rich in plant food and even better than some brands of so-called “pure” guano. Poultry manure has the most value -when kept in the dry; its value is largely dependent upon the kind of food which the fowls deposit. As a rule the poultry is given richer food than any other farm stock. Wheat, rye, corn, also scraps from the table add to their fare; hence their droppings must possess considerable fertilizing value. We keep the poultry together in the hennery as much as possible. The floor is kept dry, being covered weekly- with ashes obtained at a planing mill at a cost of 15 cents per bushel. Regular every week it is removed and stored in a dry place, shoveled over and enough absorbent added to keep from heating. It is astonishing how much accumulates. If we wish to drill the manure it is sifted; otherwise it is applied from the wagon directly. If farmers who keep poultry and let the manure go to waste would try this plan they would save enough the first year in fertilizer bills to build a poultry house and fence a yard for their private fertilizer factory.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Creeping- Galt la Horae*. A slow walk tjboes not come saturally to a horse, for a creeping gait, whether it be in a hunter, harness or cart horse, is the most provocative of fatigue, just as it is in man. Show me a slow walker in a healthy horse and I will promise to show you an idle groom or driver. If the horse is in good health, then it may be taken as a certainty that the slow gait is the fault of the human attendant, and both would be all the better for an awakening. Many slow horses and slow drivers would get through twice the work in a day that they accomplish now, and both would be fresher at the ends of the day. The creeping gait is simply suicidal to both wian and beast. * * Fall outbreaks of the hog cholera do not spread so fast or so far as earlier outbreaks.

CHEAPER THAR A FUNERAL. He Concluded to Par the Doctor** Bill •• an Economical More. A well-known North Dakota magistrate tells the following story, for the truth of which he vouches: At a small town in the state there were two dfcctors, one of whom had a great reputation for the cures he effected. and the other was not believed to be “much good.” The favored doctor found his services in great request, but as payment was not always forthcoming he made a rille that a certain class of his patients should pay in advance. One winter’s night he was roused by two farmers from a hamlet ten miles away, the wife of one of whom was seriously ill. He told them to go to the other doctor, but they refused, saying they would prefer his services. “Very well,” replied the medico, “in that case my fee is ten dollars, the money to be paid now.” The men remonstrated, but the doctor was obdurate, and shut down his window. He waited, however, to hear what they wpu’d say. “Well, what will we do now?” asked the farmer whose wife was ill. And the reply that was given must have been as gratifying as it was amusing to the listening doctor. It was: “I think you would better give it. The funeral would cost you more. There is more Catarrh in this section ot the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it n local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

HOW A PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL ESCAPER OREADEO CONSUMPTION. Peruna Used in Time Saved Her Life.

All’s Well That Ends Well. It is the same old story of exposure to cold. The cold passing down the bronchial tubes to the lungs; the developing of a settled cold on the lungs, coughing, expectoration. This is a short road to consumption. Thousands of people have traveled it. Thousands more will travel it and the coming winter will develop an untold multitude of new cases. In the case of Helen Murphy, the ending was a happy one. She started on the road to consumption after catching cold at a reception. Instead of waiting until she became incurable, Peruna was resorted to and her life was saved. It is a pity that everyone else in this wide land could not know of this very effective remedy in such cases. The news is spreading fast but a great many people have not yet heard that Peruna ia a sure cure iu these cases. Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic catarrh; catarrh of the head and catarrh of the lungs; catarrh of the throat and eatarrh of the stomach. Wherever catarrh may have located itself, whether in the digestive organs, kidneys or pelvic organs, Peruna is sure to eradicate the disease promptly. Another case where consumption was cheated of its prey occurred in the state of Iowa. The report of the case created considerable attention at the time and was furnished us unsolicited ky Mr. Henrickson. In a letter to Dr. Hartman he seta forth somo interesting details of his rescue from consumption. He made use of the following language: “I have been for years a constant sufferer from chronic catarrh of. the head and throat, which finally worked down into the air passages. In the spring of ’#8 I took a severe cold and coughed all summer. I thought I had consumption. Then I had a bad attack of ia grippe. After taking a course of Peruna I feel cured of all these troubles. “Whenever any of our children get sick we give them Peruna, and it never fails te cure them. I most heartily testify te the value of Peruna in cases ef catarrh and la grippe. I hope this may be the means of others suffering as I did to take Peruna and be cured. We would not be without it in the house.” Henry Henrickson. Generally the first cold of the season is caught in November. With some people this lasts all winter and lays the foundation of chronic catarrh. In the beginning a few doses of Peruna is sufficient to make a permanent cure. Send for Dr. Hartman’s latest book on chronic catarrh. Address the Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio.

Miss Helen Murphy, a popular society woman of Oshkosh, Wis., is an ardent friend to Peruna. . The following is a letter written by Miss Murphy, and gives her opinion of Peruna as a preventive as well as cure fer catarrhal ailments: • The Peruna Medicine Company, Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen—“About thro* montha ago I contracted a oowro cold at am owning reception, which aottlod on my tango and threatened to ho wry ear loam.

PURE BLOOD AND STRONG NERVES With glowing health all things are possible, small annoyances fade into nothingness and real troubles are battled with successfully. Women who are

blessed with perfect health are a constant joy to themselves and all around them. The beauty which health alone can make permanent is a crown which raises a woman above other women. Such beauty is always accompanied by a sweet disposition, for snappishness is a sure sign of ill-health and leaves its mark quickly on the features. It seems to be the fashion for women to ignore health and sacrifice it to the little every-day trials, or offer it up oa the altar of devotion to daily tasks. Then again the nervous organization of women is constantly attacked by woman’s natural experiences, so that it is practssally impossible for her to retain the beauty which nature gave her, unless she has discriminating advice and right support. Dr. Greene's Nervura for the Blood and Nerses. Trials and troubles are easily overcome by the women whose strength is the genuine strength of perfect health. Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, bridges the chasm that separates the sickly woman from happiness. It fills her veins with blood that is pure and clean. Mbs. WM. E. Bosse, of 85 Farrington St., Flushing, L. I., rays; “In regard to myself, I have suffered for years with disease, having been troubled with great nervousness, female complaints, indigestion, and great weakness and prostration. I did not have strength to do much of anything. Knowing the great value of health and strength I consulted doctors and took many medicines, but they all failed to cure me, and I grew worse rather than better. I happened to see in the papers how much good Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, was doing in restoring to health evervbodv who took it.

and I thought I would try a bottle. I used it and to my surprise I began to gain strength every day. I am ao thankful that I tried it! It la certainly the most excellent tonic ana strength giver. I recommend it very highly and wish that other people who are troubled in any way would take warning and use it” ' TO PRESERVE WOMANLY BEAUTY At all the stages of a woman’s life Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is shown to be efficient to ward aff the results of nervousness, or overwork, or impure Wood. From early girlhood to advanced years, this worldrenowned medicine builds up the forces destroyed by disease, grief, or overexertion, aad the effects of this great medicine are quickly felt and permanently retained. Let women guard well their health, and consult Dr. Greene freely. Nothing they can possibly do will so surely keep them strong and well, or repair the exhaustion from acute illness, nothing will work so continually to the preservation of beauty as the great health-giving Nervura. Dr. Greene’s office is at 35 West 14th Street, New York City, where he may be consulted either by personal call or by letter Women may write in perfect confidence, and get Dr. Greene’s advice free. *. >
