Kid was left. And the way we worked
certainly was a caution. The cries of
. Auntie! Auntie!' were only repeated
a couple more times, and we were
afraid the kid had died just while we
were slowly but surely working toward
the newspaper shanty.
Finally We got the last shovelful of
snow away from the door, burst the
door open with our shoulders, took Just
one look at the scene within that room

Whole bunch you, including the

the listeners.

ply. Not one the four paid the
slightest Bit Of attention to US. They
just went on with their game"
"Oh, the four were still alive, then,
and cavorting around like crazy men,
just to keep from freezing to death?''
asked another or the listeners.
Not much were they cavorting
around, replied the big. loose-framed
man. They were a-playing draw polk
er to beat the band, and from the size
of the stacks o coin before each OF
them that printers devil had about
seven-eighths of the money"
How. then, 90 you account for his
agonizing cry of 'Auntie, Auntie.' .

ers.

was dealing, and the fellow on his left

HIS FIVE BAD CHILDREN.

'.Some folks has children to bcag of,
and some don't" said the old man,
as we sat smoking our pipes on the
doorstep. Il reckoned that my five
might amount to suthin' arter all I'd
done for EN-, but I've bin powerfully
disappointed. Jim was the Oldest, and
he had money huff to go into moon
shine whisky and make a fortune at
it, but he jest went off to ShelbyviAe
and got to be lawyer, and wouldn't
even sell moonshine to help his old
father out. Ten vars ago l says to
jim:

yer father and hurt the feelins Of yer
mother, and yer no longer a son of
ours. Don't never come hcne to Us
no mo-.

er. "He was sharp as lightnin' on a
mewl-trade and nobody could fool him
on a boss. He might have made
power o. money in tradin', but he goes
to Prestonburg and sets up store and
gifts into politics. I tried my best to
save him, but he was sot, and he
wouldn't find no welcome if he should
come to see us. Suke was next. She
could have married tin peddler wuth

got $500, but she goes off to Perryburg
and marries preacher. She used to
come home once a year, but we couldn't
use her right and she got discouraged.
Joe was next. Lawd but what a
hunter he would have made! He had
an eye for bars and coon and pos

JOHN Z. OWENS SUBSTITUTE.

ed certain notoriety generation ago
through having been accepted as sub
stitute in the Union army for John Z.
Owens, the comedian. Owens was re-
sident Of Baltimore county, Maryland,
his home being just beyond Baltimore
city. The demand on the county for
her portion Of the States quota, under
the second requisition CT President Lin
coin for soldiers during the Civil war,
lacked forty-seven of completion, and
Owens was drafted as one of the delin-
quent number. Owens, through his
overseer, arranged with slatwart
young farmland. recently employed up
on his plantation, to take his place in
the army for so much money down.
Several of Owens friends drove out to
the rendezvous with him on the Thurs
day to witness his transfer of prospec-
tive military honors to Michael
ODowd This was no sooner over and
the party returned to Barnum's hotel,
where champagne flowed until well in
to the night to commemorate the event.
after which Owens was driven out
home. Shortly after arriving there he
was sound asleep. About 2 o'clock the
dogs set up brisk barking. Mrs. ow-
ems, being aroused, laid hands on. her
husband and said:

JOHANNESBURG AND TYPES OF Beers.

Beers were struggling for liberty. Seven
years later the youthful colony was
restored to Holland, but in 1906 it was
again seized by England The Union
Jack foated over Cape Town until 1915,
when the colony was ceded to the king
Of the Netherlands.
1t was not until 1885, 1886 and the
few years following that the Beers
showed any signs of disapproval re-
garding their treatment. When these
peace-loying Dutch farmers did do so,
it was merely by gathering up their
goods and chattels and migrating into
the lesser known north. But in the
meantime they had been losing much
Of their meekness. During the next
few years several thousands Of them
crossed the Vaal river and establish
ed themselves in the country which
is low known as the Transvaal. When
the English later annexed Natal, other
Beers followed in their fellow country
mems footsteps. 1t was in 1852 that
the independence of the new colony
was acknowledged by the British gov
eminent. But the Beers soon found
themselves in serious trouble with the
natives. There was danger of a Zulu
invasion, and their state had become
bankrupt. So once more the English
had a finger in the South African pie.
In 1868 this British intervention re-
suited in the annexation OF the Trans
vaal by the government OF Great Brit
ain and the retention Of the same I'M
I'll the successful Boer revolt of 1891.
in which the British troops met with
an astounding and Illuminating number
of reverses.
1t was by the treaty which followed
this revolt that the Beers came into
possession Of those rights upon which
they base their present attitude and ac-
tons. BY the treaty of March q, 1881,
the full independence of the Transvaal
was recognized by Great Brltain-at
least the full independence so far as in
terIal government was concerned. The
control of external affairs to a certain
extent was reserved to the English gov
eminent. This constitution was
amended and ratified in 1890, and by it
the Transvaal. or rather the South
African Republic, was provided with
two yolksraden, or legislative cham
bers, of "a members each. The mem
oers. of these two chambers are elect
ed for four years, one-half going out
every year, and it is the autocratic
proceedings Of these legislative bodies,
together with the president, which

corners, or "uitlanders," as they were
called, brought with them the cry for
personal liberty and political repre-
sentation. The doughty Beers, realiz-
ing with concern the overwhelming
number Of aliens who were making
their homes in the republic, sturdily
withheld all political privileges from
the unwelcome but, irrepressible ia
truGers, falling back on their treaty
with Great Britain. written out duly
in plain black and white, for so doing.
People who did not like their form OF
government or who thought they were
being unjustly treated always had the
privilege of taking their departure.
They made it their principle, did these
slow going Dutch sheep growers, not
to develop the industrial resources of
their country, for as this was done,
they realized, the temptations and OPP
portunities of immigration would nat
urally and obviously increase. For
years now their policy has been to
''inspan and trek" or, IN other words,
ITO move farther inland. Now they
find themselves with their back up
against Il wall and know they must
fight for the preservation of that last
corner to which the buster movements
Of life have driven them in their search
for unprogressive solitude. Their po-
sition is not unlike that Of the red
man when he insisted in the face of
steady Entertainments CT the paiefaces
upon pursuing a mode of life which re-
quired several thousands OF acres fcS
the support of every adult male. And
unless there is some sudden and I'M
expected change Of front in the Boer
it will be matter for wonder if his
end is not as precipitous and as tragic
as that of the North American Indian.
This end will be brought about not by
the Vaccinations OF such men as Cecil
Rhodes and DR.. Jameson. but by the
stern spirit CT The times which President
Kruger will find a more insidious and
relentless enemy than even Mir. Joe
Chamberlain himself.

LION and THE IBOER.

That the Boer should hate the Brit
isher and the Britisher abominate the
Boer is one of the most natural things
in life. The one stands for ceaseless
activity, the other for uhprogressive
content That old hatred for the An
glo-Sayon is once more assuming an
ominous activity, and just what will
be the outcome Of the inevitable clash
is a question that is at present inter-
esting the world in general and Messrs.
Rhodes and Chamberlain in particular.
AS early as 1895, when the Dutch col
onists of South Africa were attempting
to throw off the burdensome yoke of
Holland, it was England who stepped
In and took possession of the Cape
Town colony in the name Of the very
country against which those early
