Tho Transvlal.

The British in South Africa having
once again stirred up trouble by their
land grabbing tactics the following
short description of the country invad-
ed will be of interest just now:
The Transvaal, or South African re-
public, is in Southeast Africa and has
an area of 112, 700 square miles with
100000 inhabitants, of whom 10000,
perhaps are white. In 1910 number
of Dutch farmers, dissatisfied with
British government at the Cape, left
that colony and established themselves
at Natal. The British government in
terfered and annexed that settlement.
Rather than submit most of the
Beers, as the Dutch there are called,
again removed from English rule and
established the South African republic,
which in 1854 was acknowledged by
the British as free and Independent
state.
The Beers had many conflicts with
the Kafiirs around them, and in 1871
the British interfered lin behalf of the
natives" and annexed the country.
After three years of preparation the
Beers made war on the British, and
fought 50 successfully that the country
was restored to them in 1881, though
Britain claimed suzerainty.
1u 1891 the suzerainty was modified
and the British resident was removed
but he was afterward replaced by a
British agent. Sir Jacobus de Wit is
the British agent there now England
claimed the right of controlling the
foreign relations of the Transvaal as
regards the Orange Free state.
The president of the South African
republic today is S. j. P. Kruger, who
was ruling spirit in the resistance tc
the British in 1850.

There's land that is free from care:
And often the laughter and seldom the

And truth is a banner unfurled,
While justice and mercy so hand in

There's a sky that is soden-hued;
And its brilliant dome, with its stars so

With darkness is never imbued.
There's hope in the atmosphere there, my

And despair from it's foothold IS hurled,
And charity cen to the lowest is shown.

Only :, Lock- %? Softest Gold.
Only lock of softest gold, secured with
tender care,
And hid beneath the Bible lids-a sweet
dead baby's hair.
The lonely years have come and gone since
she was laid away,
And yet the childish form comes back be-
fore my eyes to-day.
While pressing kisses on the curl, as was
wont to do,
1 see her little face once more, and little
eyes of blue.
Only lock of silkcl hair, with faded rib
bon tied
The only thing save nemry left of he1
who early died;
And yet it has n potent force to turn my
yearning gaze
From sordid pleasures of the world to
where my darling stays,
And keep alive the hope that when my soul
from clay is free,
I'll see her where she holds the gates oi
Heaven jar for me.
