and of the accomplishment of your ar
duous march.'
"General Uuller told the men thnt they
ouijht not to think because they had re
tired from their position that all their
work was of no avail. On the contrary,
in his opinion, they had gained the key
of the road to I.adysmith, in which he
hoped to be within n week. I
"General Buller then called for cheers J
for the queen, which were heard for !

A special dispntch from Frere camp,
dated Friday, Jan. 2(5, 0:10 p. m., says:
"I have just ridden in here, having left
General I'uller's forces in the new posi
tions south of the Tugeln to which they
retired in consequence of the reverse at
Spion kop.
"The lighting, both before and, nftet
the occupation of the mountain, wus of a
lespcrnte character. Spion kop is a pre
cipitous mountain overtopping the whole
line of kopjes along the upper Tugela
On the eastern side the mountain facet
Mount Alice and Totgieter's drift, stand
ing at right angles to the Boer central
position and Lyttleton's ndvanced posi
tion. The southern point descends in ab
rupt steps to the lower line of kopjes
On the western side, opposite the right
outposts of Warren's force, it is inac
sessihly steep until the point where the
nek joins the kop to the main range.
Then there is a gentle slope which allow
snsy access to the summit.
"The nek was strongly held by the
Boers, who also occupied a heavy sput
parallel with the kop, where the enemy
was concealed in no fewer thnn 35 rillc
pits and was thus enabled to bring tc
bear upon our men a damaging cross fire
the only possible point for a British at
tack being the southern side, with virtu
illy sheer precipices on the left und
right.
"The ridge held by our men wns faced
by a number of strong little kopjes at all
Angles, whence the Boers sent a concen
trated fire from their ritles, supported by
i Maxim-Nordenfeldt nud a big long
range gun. Whnt with the rifles, the
machine guns and the big gun, the sum
mit wus converted into n perfect hell.
The shells exploded continually in out
ranks, nnd the rifle fire from an absolute
ly unseen enemy was perfectly appalling.
"Mortal men could not permanently
hold such n position. Our gallant fel
lows held it tenaciously for 24 hours nnd
(hen, taking advnntnge of the dork night,
abandoned it to the enemy."

A SOCIAL QUEEN.
"Who would ever believe that she i the
mother of five children." These were the
words that caught the ear of the Woman
Reporter as she moved among the throng
nt a fashionnble reception, lust before her
stood the hostess, a young looking, hand
some woman receiving her quests with thnt
nir of hearty vivacious enjoyment which
all the world considers as the special pre
rogative of vouth.
There was sparkle In her eyes, a sort
clear natural color in her cheeks; she had
firm nnd rounded form, nnd thnt steady
easy poise of the whole body which be
tokens strong Minna auu ncaiiuy nerves.
It was the Reporter's business to be curi
ous; moreover, she was a woman; and re
ceiving gracious permission to call on the
following day, she duly presented herself
armed with a hundred such questions as
only a woman can ssk.
" Yes, I have five children " said the
hostess, with a tone of earnest happy pride;
"hope I'll have five more. I love every
one of them. They are good children too,
and a comfort to me all the time."
'You can't understand It of course, and
mv friends wonder that I keep my hrnlth
and strength and do my work; but that I
take care of myself is the reason. I never
used to be strong. I was thoughtless and
careless. After my first baby came I wa
all broken down and prayed that I might
never have another, but 1 have learned
better and I am stronger now than I ever
was in my life."
I " Women break down because they go
' without the little extra help they need to
tide them over hard places. When a wom
an expects to become a mother she ought
to be at her very best. But that is exactly
the time when most women feel weak and
sick and miserable. They grow melan
choly and anxious as the tunc approaches
and when it comes they have no strength
or stamina of body or mind to go through
the ordeal."
"No wonder they suffer and nearly die
sometimes, and are all broken down for
months or years. If they would take the
rieht care "of themselves and strengthen
themselves in a natural wav, thev would
never sutler as thev do; nnd instead of
dreading to have children they would wel
come thein as a real blessing."
" It is simply a case of a 'stitch in time
saves nine 1 or rather nine hundred. A lit
tle natural reinforcement at the time when
baby is expected will save months, perhaps
years of suffering and weakness. At such
i a time I always take l)r. Pierce's l'avorite
! Prescription; it invariably gives me the ex
tra strength and heaithy nerve power which
a woman needs to bring her baby into the
World safely and comfortably."
" It is the most wonderful thing in the
world to build up a woman s nervous sys
tem and strengthen the special organism
of motherhood. It gives you the recuper
ative power that a woman cannot- get in
any other way. It carries you through the
nursing time beautifully; it helps you to
nourish the baby and make him hearty and
strone too. My four younger children are
the sturdiest youngsters you ever saw. This
one grand Favorite Prescription ' has
made me the healthv. harmv mother I am
" I can tell you of a dozen women who
have had almost tlie same experience as
mine. I saw s letter written bv Mrs. Tennie
I. Jackson, who lived at Fergussons Wharf,
in Isle of Wight Co., Va. These are her
own words: ' I have enjoyed better health
since taking Dr. Pierce's medicine than I
have since I have been married. I can
work hnrd all day and sleep well at night,
I was almost gone when I wrote to Doctor
Pierce three years ago. I had uterine
trouble very badly, but, thank the Lord,
am very well now. My doctor did not
have any faith in 'patent medicines,' but
he savs, somenine has done you good.
I tried many different medicines and got
no better until I tried Dr. Pierce's medi
cities. The first bottle gave me ease.
have taken six bottles of ' Favorite Pre
scription ' and I feel as well as ever in my
life, and can work hard all day and do as
much walking as I ever did. I was nothing
but a skeleton. I was so thin in flesh that
it hurt me to lie down."
.1 think Dr. Pierce lias done more to
ward making healthy, happy women than
any other man in this countrv. "
