end of the car, swings of the brake,

car is drawing the horse; nature is

perhaps reminded Of the adage re-

horse. The return Is a trlfle more ex-
hilarating than the pilgrimage up the

the gray horse, and the bottom is soon
reached. The car that draws the horse
gradually ceases motion and the horse
that draws the car backs ungracefully

a successful way. In 1882 he started
the Continent, weekly magazine of
a purely literary character, and con-
Quoted it successfully from purely
literary point of view. The Continent
failed, it is said, because of lack of
demand for a weekly literary maya
zine. In 1889 he became professor in
the Buffalo law school, and since that
time, while filling his function as
teacher of law, he has used his pen
with good effect. His later books have

There is much flippant talk in Eng
land about conquering the Beers; but
the Boer is not a man to be despised,
as English readers are told in a recent
article. The Boer is "a man with
whom the predikant (parson) is always
IN honored guest; who loves, and
thinks much of the opinion of his wife;
who is boundlessly hospitable, and who
can shoot straight" The Beers, in
their faith and in their shooting bring
to mind Cromwell's men, s.s good sol
diers as the world ever saw. Fighting
the Beers in London club talk, and
fighting them within rifle range, are
vastly different affairs, as Raider Jane
