# The Man He Killed

'Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have sat us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
'But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.
'I shot him dead because---
Because he was my foe,
Just so: my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although
'He thought he'd 'list, perhaps,
Off-hand like---just as I---
Was out of work---had sold his traps---
No other reason why.
'Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat if met where any bar is,
Or help to half-a-crown.'

His deep barytone voice, of a uniform and beautiful quality throughout, and his effective acting, produced a profound impression. His principal roles were William Tell, Don Giovanni, Hans Sachs, and Alberich. During the last years of his life he was insane.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Bechuanaland

Edition of 1905. See also Bechuanaland Protectorate on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
BECHUANALAND, be-chwä′nȧ-lănd. A name applied to the territory in southwestern Africa inhabited by the Bechuanas (q.v.) (Map: Cape Colony, H 4). It includes the Crown colony of Bechuanaland, annexed to Cape Colony since 1895, and the Bechuanaland Protectorate. The latter comprises all the territory bounded by the Molopo and the Zambezi rivers, the Transvaal Colony, southern Rhodesia, and German Southwest Africa. Its area is estimated at 213,000 square miles. Bechuanaland is for the most part a high plateau, with an elevation of from 4000 to 5000 feet, and is more adapted for cattle-raising than for grain. In spite of its almost tropical situation, the climate is only a little inferior to that of Cape Colony and is very
healthful for Europeans. The country is poorly watered, and there are several dry river-beds, which fill up during the rainy season. The chief industry is cattle-raising. The protectorate is administered by the native chiefs under the guidance of a British Resident. The revenue is derived from customs and a hut-tax, the latter collected by native chiefs. There is a railway line open beyond Buluwayo, in Rhodesia. The population is estimated at 200,000, and consists chiefly of the tribes of Bamangwato, Bakhatla, Bakwena, Bangwaketse, and Bamaliti. They have their fixed boundary lines, and have retained some of their political institutions. Consult: Annual British Colonial Reports (London): Macnab, On Veldt and Farm (London, 1900).

Among his numerous publications, Outlines of Biblical Psychology (1877) and Pastoral Theology of the New Testament (1885) have been published in English. For his life, consult Riggenbach (Basel, 1887).

BECHUANAS, be-chwä'naz. Tribes of Bantu stock in the Transvaal Colony and centre of South Africa, who since the colonizing of South Africa have become well known. In response to civilizing influences, and from natural adaptability, the Bechuanas are among the most advanced nations of Africa. Their strong military and political organizations are shown in the formation of powerful native ‘kingdoms’ and the extensive migratory movements of the tribes, though they are peaceable in disposition and skillful agriculturists. Totemism prevails, and ‘rain-doctors’ exercise much influence. In color they are brown rather than black; their height averages 1.684 metres.
