POET WITH OLD FRIENDS.
Mr.. Miller has just returned from the
Klondike, after a year spent with pick
and shOvel-his old companions. AL
though much interested in the con-
struction of his funeral pyre he has
no idea Of using it soon. The writer
found him near the cabin the other
day, surrounded by his friends-the old
oaks and birds and powders. He
speaks their language and never tires
of them.
How do you feel, Mr. Miller?" he
was asked.
Just like lion that has dined on
fat oX!' he replied. He is the picture
of health, and has no more idea of
growing OlQer Chan younger. Always
a busy man, but never too busy to be
courteous, Mr.. Miller receives his many
callers with the hospitality of an old
mOuntaineer that he is.
My funeral pyre? Why not? Just
walk up the hill there and you can see
for yourself A blanket, a few sticks OF
wood, and a match-that's all it will
cost me to die. What Godsend if all
men and women could die at such
trif1ing expense. 1t costs money to die,
just as it does to live.

of my fellow men should be emanci-

account Of their liking for Rhodes lent
themselves TO his ultra imperial British
purposes.
In the way OF his ambitions stood the
Transvaal Republic and its President
Dom Paui Kruger. To complete the Rho
desian scheme of a united British South
Africa, Rhodes concluded that the Trans
vaal Hepublic must be wiped out, and
Jameson was appointed for the purpose.
Meanwhile, Rhodes was under promise to
Hofmeyer not to disturb the balance of
power which the Dutch held in their favor.
Jamcson's raid failed. Rhodes knew that
Hofmeyer would henceforth be his enemy.
In lace OF these facts, Rhodes went back
TO the same Dutch population in the late
election and asked them to make him
Premier. and he almost succeeded. Thsi
would seem to show that the nerve of The
man, If not his character and ability. is of
a high order.
The Dutch residents of Cape Colony
voted more against Rhodes than in favor
OF Kruger. They do not like Kruger's
tariffs, and it is Just possible that If he
makes the tariffs mere exacting they will
turn to Rhodes as the salvation Of
their self-interest, vindicating his conten-
uon that it is his policy which has brought
prosperity to them.
