""Opifer per Orbrm Dicer." Treatment Of "Our Bobs." The scene in the imperial commons, respecting the salary of Lord Rob- erts was not very complimentary to the government and to the ex-com- mander of the army. 7 The removal of Roberts from the war office has never been explained. Coming 'back from South Alfrica, full] of h , he was i 1 to an office wherein it was expected that he would work early and necessary reforms. « Wolseley had gone out of it with the reflection, which he had publicly expressed, that he had been handicap- ped and simply unable to exercise the judgment he desired, and as a re sult of his experience. » Roberts realized that a new order of things was essentially necessary if there. was not to be 'a repetition of the failures which marked the South African war in its earlier stages. He was hindered, however, by the same influences that had operated against Wolseley. The formation of the de- fence committee retired him from of- oe, The war secretary essayed to shed light upon' the subject, when ques- tioned, and made a very poor fist of it. He invited the criticism of Camp- bell Bannerman who said that Lord Roberts - had heen summarily dis- missed, "almost with indignity," and the continliation of his salary of £5,000 was some atonement for the discourtesy to. which he had been exposed. om : Tantilizing The People.

The strange part of it was that his right foot and leg were gm- putated a week before, and had been duly embalmed and buried in a ceme tery. The leg had been crushed by a falling stone and Stall no more than came {o his senses after the effects of anacsthetic wore away when he began to worry aver the itching foot. It was no laughing matter with him. He knew the foot was not there, but he was equally sure the pain was there, and he could not understand it. The nurses told him that it was common enough for a person's imagination te thus 'take possession of them, but Stall insisted that the pain was too real to be imagination, and Hay after dav he worried about the missing foot and its troubles.

Mrs. O'Leary's Put Into Shade by Gen. Stackelberg's. Lieat,-Col. Alexandre Varretti, staff officer of the Russian army, serv ing under Gen. Dascichow and wounded near Newchwang, is in Philadelphia, with his wife. Varretti is going to buy a farm and settle down far away from the Japs. He tells a 'tale of a cow that puts Mrs. O'Leary's - of Chicago in the shade, It was this cow, which Gen. Stackelberg owned, he says, that lost for the Russians the battle of Wagan- fow, and prevented the relief of Port Arthur, "Gen. Stackelberg," says the colonel plaintively, "had a cow, The general was on his private train during the battle, . commanding the troops by signals. He was accompanied by the cow, by his wife, three laundresses and three servants. The cow was a thoro- bred and was there to give milk to the general and his entourage. "Just at the instant that the Japs could have been repulsed in confusion, some men were shot down neat Stack- elberg, and his cow kicked up her heels and dashed away. He sent a whole company of men after the cow and gave her so much attention for a few minutes that the Japs were able to regain control and close in for a final rush, which- proved successful."
