WITHOUT PROTOTYPE
Some Personal Traits of President
John Paul Kruger.
His Early Training Has Made Him
What He Is To-Dhy-SImplicity of
His HnbIts-A Man That
Knows Not Fear.

The state historian of the South Afri-
can Republic, Mr.. Van Oordt, has re-
Gently published history of the Trans
vaal, which contains the biographies of
its notabilities, among the chief of
whomis the president, familiarly known
as Dom Paul.
The founder of the family was GER
tain Jacob Kruger, who arrived at Cape
Town in 1918 as youth of II, in the
service of the Dutch East India COM
pany. Jacob Kruger was German.
A descendant of his, Caspar Kruger,
married and settled on the Bullock
farm, near Colesburg, in Cape Colony.
1t was there that Stephanus Johannes
Paul Kruger was born on. October 1o,
1926. While still quite child he had
to help his parents, in his ninth year
sometimes acting as shepherd, and
even leading the oxen yoked in the
wagon. Later, when yet too small to
handle the heavy musket of the period,
he went after game with bow and ar
rows, and returned to the farmhouse
with many hare and partridge.
Then came the trek into Natal, and
he went out into the wilderness to be-
gin life of toll, care and danger. That
was the school in which he was reared
and in which he was trained to be what
he is. He received his baptism of fire
in battle with the Matabele before the
occupation of Vechtkop, and took part
in the repulse of the Zulus in the attack
on the laager which followed the mas
sacre at Weenen, in Natal. At IS he be-
came assistant field cornet, and two
years later attained full rank. Later
on he served as commandant and COM
mandant general, WIS one of the trium-
virate during the war of independence
Tin 1ss0-s3), and has been president

WAR TIME MORALITY.
The Chaplain Had n Stolen Horse
and He Had to Take
1t Back.

In the civil war many incidents of an
amusing nature happened that never
found their way into print. One es-
pecially l call to mind that occurred on
what was known among the boys of the
early COS as the famous Meridian trip.
\ chaplain of one of the New York regi-
ments, who no doubt was inspired by
the methods adopted by "Sherman's
Bummers," had in some way become
possessed of fine black mare, for
which he had no bill of sale or anything
else to show that he was legally entitled
to the possession of the chattel. Never
thc!ess he was very proud of his cap
ture, and was not satisfied until the
colonel of the regiment had viewed the
fine points the mare really possessed.
The introduction of the mare to the
colonel brought on the following col
loQuy:
Colonel Chaplain, where did you get
that mare?
Chaplain-oh, got her at the barn
on the hill, at the same time pointing
in the direction of fine plantation
hard by.
Colonel-What did you give for her?
Chaplain-Why, nothing, of course;
/ just took her.
Colonel-Just took her? Why, chap
lain, that is no way of securing proper
ty. You must know that this is not an
army of thieves, and you must return
the mare to the place where you took
her.
At this the chaplain demonstrated,
and in vindication of his action called
the attention of the colonel to the fact
that Christ stole an ass and rode it into
the city of Jerusalem.
Cant help it," replied the colonel.
"You are not Jesus Christ, that mare is
not an ass, and, besides, you are not go
ing 10 Jerusalem, so take her back"
And the chaplain did as he was bid.

mac oAvALRY CHARGE.

"Trotl Gallopi Charge" he yelled.
Forward they lept,
With gathering might, to crush that
wall of steel,
Ger fallen horse and dying man;
Onward they swept.
The guns on the height above
Screamed in their wrath
Bucked in their gunner's hands, striving to
burst their bonds,
Hurled death and hail before,
Cleaving their path.
Next. with a swelling roar,
Small arms belched smoke,
Barking like angry dogs, Telling the foe
IKE logs.
Many men slept that day,
Nor one awoke.
Nearer the horsemen surge,
Now reach the slope.
Forward they dash, so freeman to man,
knee to knee
One lift with bride arm,
One mighty whoop.
Then Death himself comes down,
Smiles on the fray
One dread, soul-splitting crash-Death can
afford to laugh!
Folds his wings over all,
Bears them away.

Appenl to Western Fnrmers.

Houston, Tex, July 1.-THE local re-
lief committee which is caring for the
$4,000 small farmers whose crops were
utterly destroyed by the recent flood in
the valley of the Brazos and its many
tributaries makes an appeal to the
farmers of the west The only crop
which these people can raise is early
maturing corn, and there is no seed for
it in this country. The corn that is left
is not fit for seed, as it cannot mature
in time. The local committee, of which
eX-United States District Attorney
Taliaferro is chairman, asks for seed
corn of the early maturing kind to be
distributed to the stricken farmers.

TRAGEDY IN TEXAS.
Discharged JnnitOr Kills
Principal of u School.

Dallas, Tex, July 11.-At 9:3O o'clocl;
Monday night one of the most startling
tragedies Dallas has ever known oc-
CURED in the First Christian church.
In the midst of protracted meeting serv-
ice John L. Carlisle arose from his seat,
walked to where Prof. William Lips
comb, principal of the Central high
school, the leading educational institu-
ton of the public schools of the city,
was seated and shot him without word
of warning. Carlisle was seized and
taken to the county Jail. He would not
talk of the tragedy. Prof. Lipscomb
was reported dead at 10: As o'clock. Car
Isle had been chief janitor of the high
school, but failed to be reappointed by
the school board. He attributed his de-
feat for reappointment to the profess
sor's influence, and it is believed this
was the cause of the murder. Prof.
Lipscomb was native of Nashville,
Tenn, and came to Dallas four years
ago. Carlisle is native of Kentucky,
a cousin of former Secretary of the
Treasury John G. Carlisle.

PAPER MONEY SCARCE.
A Currency Famine Exists in the
West-PIenty of Coin, But the
People Don't Want Ii.

Omaha, Neb,, July 11.-Inquiry at the
banks of this city and Council Bluffs
reveals the prevalence of famine of
paper currency. They cannot secure a
sufficient supply of paper money to
meet the demands, and the prospects
for an early relief in the situation are
not, it is said, very encouraging. OF
silver and gold the banks have all, and,
in fact, a great deal more than they
need, but paper money, especially bills
of the smaller denominations, is diff
cult to secure. The same conditions, it
is reported, exist all over the state, and
the local banks, which depend upon
their eastern correspondents for the
supply of currency, are obliged TO take
what they send them, which is about
one-tenth of what they ask for. If the
situation does not mend soon gold will
lie at a discount in the west.

TOLD HIM TO ROW FOR THE KAN
SAS SHORE.

a sweetheart, and she was n rebel, and
her brother was n southern soldier, and

But, gentlemen, this is not love story.
My preceptor before the war was a.

cause he was -aftcrvard conspicuous

after the war he was n most successful

Grill, later of New York. Slayback mus
tered his recruits in the woods. All his
pupils who were able to do soldier duty
enlisted in his company. BY some sort
OF strategy l managed to get into the
camp. The company started to the
front. Price was moving ON LeXing-
ton, where Col. Mulligan held federal
post. The call was made for help. The
Mudsills, as the Yankees We're called,
were TO be driven from the sacred soil
of Missouri and thrown into the river.
The Slaybacli company went out in the

masoni friend, had u confidential talk,

since the retrocession of the territory
of the republic by Great Britain to its
own government. By his people he is
spoken of as the Lion of Rustenburg.
The personal habits of President
Kruger are extremely simple. He never
takes strong dring himself, but has said
that he believed God gave man strong
drink to use, and that there is no harm
in its moderate use. Although fairly
wealthy he lives the ordinary life of
well-to-do Afrikander, indulging nei-
ther in ostentation nor festivities,
To poor burghers he has lent money
without any security, knowing, as he
said, that they were honorable men,
In character Dom Paul is stiff-nesked-
obstinate some say-and full of hardi.
hood. This quality he has displayed on
many occasions.
While still a youth his gun, which he
had overloaded in order to make sure
of a rhinoceros he was hunting, burst
and shattered the top of his left thumb,
Before he could get assistance the
wound began fostering, for he was faI
distant from surgical help, and threat
ened modification. He thercupon am
putated the thumb at the first joint
with. pocketknife, but, finding the
first operation insufficient, he cut of
the second joint, after which the hand
heSled. AS his biographer says: ''The
man who could do this is not the man tc
be easily frightened" Many stories are
4A1 li nrth of will
and endurance, of racing contests with
Kafiirs lasting a whole day, and his per.
sonal strength in struggles with ami
mails.
AS to his place in history, Mr.. Van
Oordt says, Paul Kruger has been COM
pared with Washington, with Lincoln
and even with Ulysses and Blucher
and many other illustrious historical
personages. 1t sounds well, says the
state historian, but the fact remains
that he can be compared with no one,
The circumstances of his bringing up
those in which he has gained his in.
fluence and ruled over his people for 1e
years, have been so exceptional that
Paul Kruger can be compared with ne
OlllCI iiSlOIlCul IL tIlt
Dutch of South Africa he is simply Paul
Kruger, man of themselves, born into
their troubles and tribulations, who has
contributed to their triumphs, and is
now, in his last years, steering them
through new dangers.
Mr.. Van Oordt, in concluding his
sketch, thus apostrophizes him:
IAN peaceful lies the Lion of Rusten-
burg, his eye flxtrl on God, his paw upon
the flag of independence. You mark ne
signs of attack; only the Lion takes z
watchful protecting grasp, But, take
care! At the first approach OF danger
he erects his name and rises up. Ant
woe! woe to him, however mighty hi
be, who dares touch the flag of Trans
vaal independence, The Lion then vii
fight; he will defend himself to th'
last drop of his blood, and II he must
fall dying and conquered. then shall 4
be enwrapped in the vreiklem, which
shall make the shrond of Stephanr'
Johannes Pav. Kruger"

the late civil war. The man who gave
the dinner was properly modest until
ono of the guests asked him:
"Were you in the WARP"

"On which side?" was asked.
Both Sides" and the answer natur-
