During the Boer war in South Africa, people all over the world asked for 118 days, "what Is the news from Ladysmith," for during that length of time Lady-smitwas holding out against the beleaguering foe."

The siege of Port Arthur has aroused world, wide interest and naturally brings forth many in- teresting comparisons and histories of famous reThe Memphis Commercial-Appea- l sieges. counts two memorable sieges as follows: "Before the Christian era, Greece camped nine years on the Trojan plain before she 'burned the topless towers of Illium.' Rome, with her primitive battering rams and wooden weapons, pricked ten years at the walls of Velt before her eagles were triumphant. And her splendid legions were held at bay two years before Scipio at last stood as conqueror among the ruins of Carthage. During these two frightful years the women of the city in moital terror of the 'evolves from the Tiber,' worked shoulder to shoulder with the men in the trenches. In more recent years the siege of He bastopol in the Crimean war easily takes precedence for daring ana picturesque achievement. For eleven months the smoke of battle hung like halo over the Kedan and the Malakoff, those supposedly impregnable forts." The year 1S57 was made memorable by the siege of Lucknow. Here in this city of glittering Oriental beauty 300 English soldiers, with the indomitable spirit of the Anglo Saxon, beat back the hordes of Sepoys that swarmed about the while the women, knowing their fate if surrender came, prayed every hour for death or vrescue. Four months of this slow torture went 'by, and despair began to settle on, the garrison; defeat seemed inevitable, when one day a new sound mingled with the noises, the garrison al-- j ready knew, and a Scotch lassie, with her ear to the ground, recognized the new note and cried out the rescue to the others: 'It is the pibrochs o the the Highlands! We are saved! We are saved!' And to the music of those pipes that gallant band of Scots and English cut their way to their starving countrymen, leaving behind a path of blood thick strewn with Sepoy dead. In the Franco-Prussiowar, Paris held the enemy back for 1S2 days; yiel ding at last, not to assault, b'H to save her children from the horrors of starvation. Then there is Plevna. Here the Turks, under Osman Pasha, intrenched themselves against the Russians and in the 142 days of siege that followed 7o,oOO men gave up their lives. Then the pasha capitulated. The siege and capture of Plevna make interesting reading for the student of military tactics' Pointing out that sieges in our own country are rare, the writer says: "There was thesocalled at Yorktown. siege of Boston; the twenty-day- s ret-idenc- n Judge Thomas Marioneaux, the present judge of the Fifth district, will become a law partner of Judge O.
