DOM PAuL's EFFECTIVE PRAYER.
This Story May Not BE True. but 1t Is Far
From Impossible.

Here is a little anecdote told, not by
a malicious uitlander, but by a Boer.
In the early days, before the Transvaal
was a republic, there was famine in
the land, and party was organized to
hunt the bartbeest. For days the party
secured the veldt in vain; there was no
sign Of game Of any description. Then
one Of the Beers declared his intention
Of retiring into the bush to pray for sue.
cor, as did the patriarchs Of old. He &C.
cordingly left the party in company with
native and disappeared into the bush.
Some hours afterwari the Boer re-
turned and informed the party soIemnly
that he had prayed, and in three days
time a very large troop Of hartbeest
would pass that way The party re-.
manned at the camp. and, sure enough,
two days after the promised game ap-
peared in sight, and the Dutchmen, with
thankful heart, made great haul.
From that moment the man Of pray
err became the popular hero until he
was elected president Of the South Afri-
can republic. That man was Paul Krr,-
ger.
And now listen to the edlfylng sequel:
It was some time afterward that the
native who accompanied Kruger into the
bush gave his version Of the affair The
native stated that when Kruger entered
the bush he did not pray, but struck out
for neishboring Kaffir kraal. Calling
the headmen, the Boer informed them
that the white people were starving and
could find no game There was large
number of armed Beers on the other side
Of the bush, who had sent him TO tell
them that unless they (the natives) dis
covered game in less than three days
they would all be shot Knowing Boer
methods only too well, the frightened
natives set out forthwith, discovered the
game and drove it toward the Beer

An Artist without Arms.

The comrade without arms was a
most assiduous worker. 1t was amusing
to watch his mittened feet step out Of
their shoes and at the shortest notice
proceed to do duty as hands. His MIN.
BILE toes would screw and unscrew the
tops Of the color tubes or handle the
brush as steadily as the best and deftest
Of fingers could handle it. Very much
unlike any Of Us, he was most punctil.
ious in the care he bestowed on his paint
box, as also on his personal appearance.
