KruEer's Dog Story Told Straight.

The true account of President Kruger's
recent canine analogy is too good to be
lost. When the relorners called upon him
and began to thank him for their release,
the old man looked at them for u moment
and then said ironically: "Some dogs
which have been beaten lick the feet Of
their master. Others stink away and snarl
and try to bite again. l hope you are not
going to snall auy more" There was q
painful pause, broken at length by loud
guffaw, as the president turned to the in
terpreter and said: You needn 1T translate
that. ISIS only my little joke" His hon.
or resumed in the terms already summa-
rzod here: you have asked mo to be mer-
ciful to the remaining prisoners, and will
answer you in u parable. There was once
naughty little dog, and 1t was beaten. 1t
was right to beat that dog, because it was
naughty. But what should be done to the
owner of that deg, who stood by and said,
'Saa'" Then, dropping the parable, tho
president exclaimed: Rhodes is the owner
OF that dog! What shall be- done to himP"
The deputGtion rather looked as though,
in the popular phrase, they would like to
be asked another.--Cape Times.

LOYAL TO HIS CHIEF.
Candidate Sewall's Letter to Hon.
William ]. Bryan.
WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF.

Cannot Allow Himself to be Factor In
Any Action on Bryan's Part That Would
Hazard an Electoral Vote for the Head
of the Ticket.
CHICAGO, Sept 4.-Chairman Jones, Of
the Democratic national committee, has
made public letter to William ]. Bryan
from Arthur Sewall, dated at Bath Me-,
July 25, at which timo the Populist con-
vention was in session. The letter which
Is exciting great deal Of comment, reads
as follows:
my dear Mr., Bryan: In view of tho
action of the St. Louis convention today
cannot refrain from giving you my
thoughts OH the situation. My advices are
that you have been nominated as candi-
date for president and Mr.. Watson for
vice president, also learn through press
dispatches that you are somewhat undo
cided whether you ought to accept or do
cline, Now, desire to say to you with
the utmost frankness and good feeling
that you must not allow any personal con.
sidcration for me to influence you in your
action,
81 desire you will do just what you be-
lieve is best for the success of the head Of
our ticket. Tho principles we are fighting
for are so paramount to any personal con-
siderations that the latter should not have
any weight or Influence whatever with
your action.
81 cannot for moment allow myself to
be factor in any action on your part that
would in the slightest degree hazard an
electoral vote for YOU.
with kind regards to Mrs. Bryan, be-
lievo me your sincere frond,
- "AKrHUR SEwALL."
The Democratic manager at headquart.
ers insisted the letter had no further sig.
nilcance than that Mr.. Bryan would con.
sent to receive u formal notification from
the Populist party In tho noar future, and
the publication was to forestall all rumors
as to the astitude of Mr. Sewall to ward
off ceremony.
Accompanying the letter from Mr.. Sew
all isan official statement to the effect that
Several daysago Chairman Jones wrote
letter to Mr.. Sewall stating to him that
many Democrats throughout the country.
and especially throughout the west, were
objoCting to Il fusion with the Popu-
lists on electoral tickets, for the reason
that they did not wish to be disloyal to
Mr.. Sewall." In reply to Chairman Jones
Mr.. Sewall sent the foregoing copy of his
letter to Mr.. Bryan.
