these mountains and the country beyond
are full of balloons. When was girl
| OF about tea l used to wander about ,
good deal in the hills and valleys. and
watch the balloons as they played among
the rocks. There was one family of ba-
boons that I watched especially-they
used to live in kloof about mile from
the house. The old man baboon was
very large, and one Of the females had
gray face. But the reason why watched
them so much was because saw that
they had with them a creature that
looked like girl, for her skin vas quite
white. and, what was more, that she was
protected from the weather when it hap
pened to be cold by fur belt of some
sort, which she tied round her throat
For nearly whole summer I
watched this particular white-skinned
baboon till at last my curiosity quite
overmastered me. l noticed that, though
she climbed about the cliffs with the
before shutdown they used to put her
with one or two other much smaller ones
into little cave, while the family went
Off somewhere to get food, to the mealie
fields, 1 suppose. Then got an idea
that would catch this white baboon
and bring it home. But of course l
could not do this by myself, so took a
Hottentot-a very clever man when he
was not drunk-who lived on the stead,
into my confidence. He was called Hen
dirk, and was very fond OF me; but for
long while he would not listen to my
plan, because he said that the babyans
would kill us. At last bribed him with
knife that had four blades, and one
afternoon We started, Hendrix carrying
stout sack made of hide, with rope
running through it so that the mouth
could be drawn tight.
well, we got to the place, and, hid
ing ourselves carefully in the trees at the
foot of the kloof, watched the balloons
playing about and granting to each 9TH
er, till at length, according to custom,
they took the white one and three other
little babies and put them in tae cave.
Then the old man came out, looked
carefully round, called to his family and
went off with them over the brow OF the
kloof. Now, very slowly and cautiously
we crept up over the rocks till we came
to the mouth OF the cave and looked in.
All the four little balloons were fast
asleep with their backs towards US, and
their arms around each others necks,
the white one being in the middle.
Nothing could have been better for our
plans. Hendrick. who by this time mad
quite entered into the spirit OF the
thing, crept into the cave like snake,
and suddenly dropped the mouth of the
hide bag over the head of the white ba-
boon. The poor little thing woke up
and gave violent jump, which caused
it to vanish right into the bag. Then
Hendrix pulled the string tight, and to-
gether we knotted it so that it was i'm
possible for our captive to escape. Mean
while the other baby balloons had rushed
from the cave screaming, and when we
got outside they were nowhere to be
seen.

Office for Indaba-zimbi. Presently, to
my vast delight, Tota opened her eyes
and tried to cry, brit could not poor
little thing, because her tongue and
lips were so swollen. But the lady got
some water into her mouth, and, as in
my case, the effect was magical We
allowed her to drink about a quarter of
a pint, and no more, though she cried
bitterly for it. Just then old Indaba-
zimbi came to with groan. He opened
his eyes, glanced around, and took in
the situation.
''What did I tell you, Macumazahn?"
and he seized tho bottle and took long
pull at it.
Meanwhile sat with my back against

''they must not eat meat just yet. Go

The woman ran swiftly into the plain

SOMETHING co,..u ON.

Always something going on,
On our world SO round and rolling;
Happy laughter, merry song,
Breaking hearts and funeral tollin2.
Always something going on,
Here to-day or there tomorrow,
Something to attract the throng,
Some for pleasure, some In sorrow.
Always something going on,
While we wake and while we slumber;
Whether right or whether wrong,
Some one stops to look and wonder.
Always something going on;
Side by side the good and evil,
Fiercely jostling, pass along.
Working peace or holding revel
Always something going on;
Think you, life would be worth living.
Was there nothing going on,
Zest to thought and action giving!

tofore to express our belief that it was
the ideal Of taxation, unattainable for
good while to come and without long
agitation and progressive advances, but
resting on irrefragible logic. Its ad-
vantages would be many. It reduces
taxation to absolute simplicity and GER
tainty and the utmost eficiency-that is
to say, the form which would, bring the
greatest ratio of revenue with the small
est cost and difficulty of collection. It
would absolutely free from the ineQuali-
ties that characterize all existing sys-
tens of taxation. TO. all land, by whom
| soever held and for whatever purpose
used, would pay revenue in precise pro-
portion to the advantage derived from
holding and using it. Moreover, it
would be the form of taxation that
would interfere least with the processes
of production and of trade. and there
fore be the least of burden upon the
community. We do not think it would
| accomplish all that has been claimed
for it in affording opportunities for la
Dor and relief from poverty, which has
| many causes. but IL would afford the very
| largest measure of industrial and COM
| mercial freedom and facilitate . moro
| equal distribution of opportunities and
of the results of production and ex-
change. 1t would bring about free
trade which would be absolute in it's ex-
emption from burden. restriction and
| perversion by public authority.
| As an ideal system it is we'll that this
| form of taxation should have its earnest
and persistent advocates, that it should
be the subject of agitation and discus
sion, that organizations should be form
ed and conferences held to promote it.
1t has a sort of analogy to the old FREQ
soil and anti-slavery idea without its
sectional aspect; but there is vast deal
of this process of revolutionizing public
sentiment to be done before it can be-
come practical question in politics and
legislation. But all tax reform must
move in this general direction-in the
direction of removing burdens and re-
strictions from industry and trade, and
in the direction OF simplicity and GER
tainty. . We have long advocated deriv-
ing all taxes for State and local pur-
poses-eXcepting such special expedi.
entS as obtaining revenue from corpora
tons that hold public franchises-from
real estate as distinguished from per-
sonal property. and reducing the ma
tional system of taxing trade TO purely
revenue basis with as much simplicity
and effectiveness and as little interior
ence with the natural laws of trade "a
possible. These would be long steps in
the direction of the single tax move
ment, and they are steps that may be
taken as soon as the people can be con-
WINGED of their advantage. They are
steps that must be taken before there
can be any Roadway beyond them. They
are within the range of practical discus
sion and feasible legislation. The single
tax is remote ideal, and the conference
of this week will serve 10 make it better
understood and will stimulate the work.

But there are not laws forbidding
in this traffic at least things openly
nefarious, and throwing some pro-
lection around the victims? There are
some laws; the saloon-keeper laughs
at them. In America there is class
of men rebelhous to all law, glorying
in their rebellion, defying the people
to curb their powers-the saloon
keepers. And their shameless rebel
lion against law is in order to food
the land more freely with alcohol, to
make drunkards, ruin families, fill
jails and poorhouses. A newspaper,
the organ of the liquor dealer, point
eddy asked the other day why tenn
perance speakess always attack men
who are doing business just as others
in the grocery or clothing business.
The reasons, l reply, are very plain.
No other business entails woe and
sin as the liquor trade, and no other
business is lawless in it's methods, and
defiant before the country as the
liquor traffic. --Rt. Rev. John Ireland,
Archbishod of Minnesota.

Mrs. Martha proved herself a de-

The election franchise is the most

calm, dispassionate expression, is
"sowing the wind" and will surely
"reap the whirlwind." Rumsellers
fatter themselves that public senti-
ment tolerates and therefore Gin
dorses' their business. They are
woefully mistaken; an earthquake
by and by will awaken them to
realization of their mistake.
No law is more firmly fixed in pub
lie sanction than the law against sell
ing liquor to children. Yet the in
famous villainy is tolerated to an
alarming extent. A four-year-old
girl dies in New York from alcohol
ism; boys stagger along the street
drinking out of pals the beer sold to
them contrary to law under the very
eyes of the police; school children
are enticed into the saloons and made
drunk; and because the grasping
rumseller hears no thunder-clap OF
indignation from the outraged public
conscience he concludes that he is
safe, that the prohibition against
selling to children "doesn't pro
hibit." Wretch, beware how you
tempt the heart of that mother and
that father to desperation! You are
standing on volcano of public sem
timent; for the mutterings of its
hidden power, turn your ears to Mis-.
souri,, hear the axe in the hands of
that woman whose husband was
stabbed in drunken brawl at
Lathrop descend on the head Of the
barrel from which the liquid deviltry
prompting the crime was drawn hear
the smashing Of bottles and saloon
furniture by her indignant sisters,
who take the law into their own hands,
backed by the virtuous public senti-
ment of the town and by the muskets
of determined fathers and husbands
and brothers who declare that the
law which would not defend these
outraged women shall not punish
them for defending themselves. do
you not know that there is not a de-
cent man or woman in the United
States who would not rejoice 10
see your infamous business blown
to atoms, and yourself made an
example Of infamy to any other man
who would enter your accursed busl-
ness.
OF course men nor women should not
do anything rashly. They should be
cool and dispassionate. But in the
words Of William Lloyd Garrison:
"Tell a man whose houseis on fire to
give a moderate alarm; tell him to
moderately rescue his wife from the
hands OF the ravisher tell the mother
to gradually rescue her babe from the
fire into which it has fallen. But
urge me not to use moderation in q
cause like the present. n y The
apathy is enough to make a statute
leap from its pedestal and to hasten
the resurrection of the dead" The
case is even more desperate today in
the defiance of law and justice by the
liquor traffic than it was when those
words were uttered against slavery.
And woe to the liquor truffic if it per-
ssts in its REBELLION against just laws
until the statute Of Justice leaps from
