DOM PAUL HAS GREAT NERVE.
Stories told of President Kruger of the
TransVaal Republic

Kruegerwas shooting one day when
his gun exploded and blew away part of
his thumb. The surgeorto whom kreu-
ger submitted tire case found that the
flesh had begun to mortify, and advised
amputating the arm half way up. But
Kreuger said he could rot afford to lose
his arm, for then he would no longer be
able to handle his rifle. Then the doctor
said u,at Kruger should at least allow
him to cut off his left hand. But even
this was too much for Kruger. The sur
geon hsreupon told Kruger that he
would have nothing whatever to do
with the case, and left. Krueger then
got his jackknife and sharpened 1t care
fully, so that it became as sharp as a
razor. He then laid his thumb upon a
store and himself cut off it's extreme
joint But to his great chagrin the flesh
would not heal at that point, as prutre-
faction had gone already too far Again
he laid his hard upon the stone, and this
time cut away all the flesh about and
above the second joint of the thumb,
and this time the flesh healed and his
thumb was spared.H now uses his in
dex finger as thumb, and seizes small
objects between the first two fingers of
that hand.
Dr. Leyds almost capped this anecdoto
by telling me that while in Lisbon krue-
ger had a toothache and paced up ana
down the room seeking relief in vain.
At last he quietly pulled out his pen
knife and cut the tooth out of his jaw by
patience ard persistence. What can
such a man know of fear? What can be
to him such things as nerves?
1t is gratifying to recall now that of
al the stories | have heard about the
Transvaal president not one indicates
that he is cruel or vindictive or untruth-
full. Men of all political opinions unite
in acknowledging his courage, his good
sense his honesty. his patience and
host of other estimable qualities. If
some member of his family had collected
but a tithe of the good things he has said
