why Beers Fight Well.

Having many chances at success
proves often a disadvantage. General
w. F. Molyneux, fighter in the
Transvaal, tells in Camping in South
Africa and Egypt, about going to the
house of a Boer, upon the latter's in
vitation to become his guest on deer
hunt The general arrived on horse
back, accompanied by one servant.
Dismounting, he carried into the house
a bag containing what would measure
a peck or SO of common cartridges.
The Boer looked at the bag in aston
ishment and exclaimed:
"You Englishmen must be very
rich. Cartridges cost sixpence each
here"
Rather mystifed, and declaring that
there are poor Englishmen, General
Molyneqx asked, "Where are your
cartridges2"
''In this, replied the Boer, tapping
his double-barrel.
"Then you don't intend to do much
shooting?"
"Well, two-spring-buck are as much
as I can carry"
Suppose you miss?"
Nobody misses when cartridge
costs sixpence
The sequel was that the Boer got
his two deer, one for each cartridge
while the General fired five shots nnd
got one. -Harper's Round Table.

she was allowed to land. Then the

seized by tho immigration authorities
and ordered to be deported, on the
ground that he was likely to be a
charge on the country.
