returning to its own.
During the fiscal year OF 1s98-99 the
entire revenue raised by taxes to rem
the government. exclusive Of the cont
paratively small amount derived from
the customs, amounted to about $780,
100000, and of this over S1E0,900,0a0
was derived from the taxes on liquor
brewed and sold in the United Kingdom.
And this astonishing figure does rot
put the case as strongly as 1t deserves,
for 1t Is entirely apart from the amount
received by the government Ia the shape
OF liquor licenses. The revenue derived
from the duties on wines during this
year was little under $1,000, 900, which
was an increase OF 100000 over the.
previous year, the principal part OF this
revenue being due to the increased i'm
portation Of port wine.
SWELLING Is BAD FORM
Yet-and here is the significant point
that should make all these statistics
more interesting-it appears from
many indications that, though Great
Britain drinks more than ever. II gets
drunk less. 1t Is no longer the fashion,
to be pulled out from under the table
and put to bed by fiunkeys. Squire
Western, father Of Tom Jones' lovely
Sophia, cannot to-day be considered a
type of even a limited class. 1t is no
longer good form to have huge thirst.
The day OF the three bottle man is'
gone. There are reports to show, also,
that the better class Of worklngman
does not drink to excess as much as hs
did. Competition has become too keen,
and excessive drinking has too pro-
nounced an effect upon the wages thatl
skilled labor can command.
Here is an instance. small enough
in itself yet rather significant, as an
indication Of the tendency Of the times.
A brilliant Oxford man, now famous as
an editor and writer, told me that he
was much struck at a recent university
celebration by the change that had
come about since his day In the

was the custom twenty years ago to
provide well night unlimited quantities
of cheap claret for these festivities, and
1t was considered rather sign Of good
fellowship to partake Of the STUFF

And folly filled the head
The day following an event Of this
sort commonly was spent in fasting
and the sort OF repentance that am
abundance OF bad claret brings. Ths
custom was almost universal. '.To-
day" said my friend. Il find that such
modes Of entertainment no longer airs

Republic, as a nation of countrymen
signifying the United States.
OUR ORIGIN.
We are the descendants of the first
Dutch settlers who landed on the most
southerly point of Africa in 1862, and
the French Huguenots, who were
driven from France by the revocation
of the ediet of Nantes in 1865, and
sought refuge in Holland and ulti-
mately went to South Africa.
We hold Cape Colony, the Orange
Free State, Natal and the Transvaal.
The Orange Free State and T'ransvaal
are Republics, while the other two are
British territory. We stand together
as one people. We are one as regards
our future, and what affects one af-
fects all. In 1906 when war between
Holland and England took place, we
were ruled by the British, and we
would net have interfered had we been
governed. wisly. Our rulers, how
ever, simply gave us military govern
ment, and forgetful of the rights of
the people at large sought to glorify
themselves. They made no attempt to
advance cur interests.
The most awful thing in our history
was the jameson Raid in 1890. This
raid was planned by Cecil Rhodes, who
was directly responsible for it. 1t was
a plot Matched in England to foment
strife between the two governments.
England and the Transvaal were then
fairly peaceful, but the jameson raid
was the beginning of war Fortu-
nately the people of the Transvaal
were lenient and they hesitated about
Furnishing the nation as severely as it
should have been punished.

wrong a people.
The term of Boer, for instance, is in
correct. The Boer applies only to the
farmer. The correct name of the peo-
pie of the Transvaal Republic is "Afri-
handlers" This signifies all the cul-
tured people, black and white, Of the
Republic; all the citizens, all the people
whose home is there; all those who
dwell in the towns and who are the
financial support of the Republic.
These are "Afrikanders." The word
Boer means eouniryman, and it would
be just as correct to speak of nation

THE BITTER BIT.
How the Gambler Was Beaten by a
Green" Hand.

He looked green, but appearances are
often deceltful. as a certain card sharp
er found out in this particular In
stance. says the Memphis scimltar. The
green looking individual let a hint drop
where the card sharper could hear It
that he had considerable money in his
clothes. The sharper spotted him at
once. and went angling for the sucker.
He was not hard TO land, and in less
than an hour the two were seated in
an uptown resort playing seven-up.
The green man had a big roll, and the
sharper's eyes glistened ss he calculat-
ed to himself what he was going to do
with 1t when he got it.
In order to bait the green hand the
sharper let him win hand occasional
Is. and in the course OF an hours play
these winnings amounted to a goodly
sum. The sharper noticed that when
the gr4en man lost he paid his bets out
OF his right trousers pocket, but when
he won the money went into his other
pocket. He thought this was only a
precaution all farmers worked when
gambling in the city, and said nothing
about it. Finally the green looking man
declared that he vas broke and the
poma ended. q st about $500,
and the SNAPPER 70 do the right thing,
called him up to the bar and ordered
a bottle of champagne. He threw out
one OF the newly won SO bills, and tC
his astonishment it was returned as
counterfeit, He tried others, but they
were done the same way, 80
