The reporter detected something
like a tear in the murderer's eye as
he turned away from his cell, and
the picture he presented, as he stood
in the feeble light of the lamp, look
ing through the iron bars, was a
sorrOwful one, indeed. Not word
was spoken by the other prisoners
while the conversation was being
carried on; they, too, seemed to
realize the solemness of the occa-
sion.
The sheriff led the way down the
narrow passage, the massive iron
doors were opened and closed again,
and Frank Johnson was left alone
with his thoughts and recollections.

PERMANENT WAR.
No General is Allowed to Win Final
Victory.


No General is Allowed to Win Final
Victory.
A correspondent says in the Boston
Post that a number of men were talk
ing about Englands little wars at the
club, and, most pertinently, man. a
Boston man, who has only been ashore
four or Ave days after voyage of
something like lis days from Java in
sailing ship, Clipped in; i've got a
yarn to spin in that connection" You

after his experience at sea.

-,
and | thought I'd like to take shy at
going to Acheen, the one place in
Sumatra where the Dutch have a safe
foothold and see how so long-drawn-
out war was conducted, for the Dutch
have every modern appliance for romp-
ing over such savages as the natives
of Sumatra, and only the interior eli
mate is against their easy success.
Il got tip from the inside that |
had better not waste any time, as I'M
der no circumstances would the Dutch
men at Acheen let me go to the front,
where military operations were going
on. That point, as | understand it, Is
some 800 miles inland.
And why?' | asked.
For the very good reason said the
man who gave me the tip, that this
war is a permanent thing for Holland,
and a soft thing for the ring. There
are government officials in Amsterdam
and Dutch government colonial officials
out here who each make from $4,000
to 100000 forms year out of the war
in the way Of supplying military stores,
and the transportation of troops, or by
means of any various little games that
big politicians out Cor the dust have
way of playing Not very long ago,
/ in moment of enthusiasm on some
ones part, Dutch general was APP
pointed to the command Of Sumatra
because he boosted that he could put
an end TO the war in few months.
He started in at full speed, and was
keeping his promise so well that a
vigorous (but very quiet row was kick
up in the inner.most circles. and he
was recalled. Therefore, | didn't
bother to go and investigate the Dutch
campaign in Java"
