Jefferson was courtly and polished:
Jackson was rough and ready. Jeffer-
son was a diplomatist: Jackson was a
fighter. In everything except lofty pur-
poses they were dissimilar. His hatred
of the British was inspired In early life.
When but q boy. during the Revolu-
tionary war. he was taken prisoner by
the British. An officer commanded
young Jackson to clean his boots, which
young Andrew not only refused to do.
but. having a choice vocabulary of
good, strong, expressive words, he in
formed the officer that he could go to
that place where thermometers are not
long enough to register the tempera-
ture. For this he received saber cut
on the head and another on the arm.
He was Chesterfieldian in his manner
toward women. He was ever ready to
defend the character OF women with
words or pistols, and defamatory re-
mark about his wife cost noted poll
tician his life. His memory will be an
inspiration to Democracy so long as
there 10 a Democrat. 1t is a perennial
Joke in politics that in some sections
south of Mason and Dixons line they
are voting for him yet.

Lord Cough, first secretary OF the le-
CATION, had a conference with POST
master General Wilson today at which
the established parcels post convention
between the United States and Great
Britain was urged.
The Ambassador was assured by Mr..
Wilson that the matter would be con-

explained that the United States has
no parcel post convention with any Eu-
ropean country. though having such
conyentIors with a number of British
colonies, the Hawaiian and Leewarc

Pretoria, Transvaal, Jan. 9-The
Government Is showing discomfort at
the reluctance displayed by the Rand
men to disarm. 1t is estimated that
5000 of the latter have been armed and
only 1000 have yielded up their arms.
The armed Beers in the field are also
impatient.
The position at Johannesburg is criti'
