take it again. That time we kept
it, but in the interval we had con-
trived to displease everybody, and
we started all wrong So there
has never been real peace in South
Africa.
at is needless to say how thor
ughly the last phase of our troub-
les has corresponded with the first.
We should not be fighting the
Beers today if that were not the
case. One cannot but hope that
it is for the last time, but it is not
possible to look forward with much
confidence. For the moment the
pressing question is what the fight
ing will be like There are some
who seem to be convinced that it
will be very simple business-a
march, battle, a glorious victory,
one more or less bloody field, and
then the Beers will all go home
cowed into a duly humble respect
for British prowess. tbs a charm
ing picture but it has an awk ward
likeness to the hattering dreams
of the Frenchman who shouted
"A Berlinr in 1870. And it has
the misfortune not to be based on
any foundation of evidence. The
Cape Dutchman, like other men,
has not always fought equally we'll,
but in the main what he has shown
is great tenacity, and it has to be
proved that he will be more feeble
now. The big-battle-and-all over
theory is too good to be quite true,
and if it breaks down, the alterna-
tive, which is a guerrilla war with
men who are good shots, are well
armed and well mounted, in a very
big, thinly inhabited country, may
be long business. Moreover, it
is one which will require d great
many men and be very costly.
When it is over, a large garrison
will have to be maintained in
South Africa, and will have to be
paid for by somebody. OF course,
these are no reasons for not doing
the work if once it becomes neces-
sary, but only for not jumping to
the conclusion that it will be a
small affair"

his faults, there is much sense and
valor in the Dutchman. 1t would
have been much happier business
if we had managed otherwise, and
if the Dutch at the Cape had be-
come part of us, as those who set
tied in the east of England have
done. They were many. and their
descendants are today excellent
Englishmen.
Perhaps the greatest mistake
we have made with the Cape is
that we did not take it far sooner.
Its value as useful half way
house to India was obvious as far
back as the reign of King Charles
II. Our government was so well
aware of the advantage of possess
ing a good port as house of call
for ships going to the coast of
Malabar and Coromandel that it
sent Ridhard Munden to retake
st. Helena in 1878. To be strictly
accurate, be was sent into the
South Atlantic to protect the East
India company's ships, and hear
ing that the Dutch had seized the
island he recaptured it. But,
since we sent force so far away,
and thought so highly of the adj
vantage of having a naval station
in those parts, the better course
would have been to make Munden
strong enough to take the Cape
A garrison could easily have been
found by transferring the soldiers
at Vangier, seeing that this place
was destined to be given up at the
end. The East India company
would have been very well pleased
to undertake the expense of hold
ing the post, and soon would have
made it pay its way by opening it
to English colonists, We most
as uredly could have kept itat the
end of the war, when the Dutch
were only too happy to make peace
on any terms. The French HUI
genots, who settled under the
Dutch after the revocation of the
edict of Nantes would have been
equally ready TO become our colo
nists. Indeed, we might have tax
en- it ten years earlier with the
squadron which seized New Am
sterdam under command of Sir
Robert Holmes, As the second
Dutch war was caused partly by
quarrels with the East India COM
pany, the venture would have been
quite as legitimate as the attacks
made on the possessions of the
Hollanders on the coast of Guinea
and in America.
"All this belongs to the history
of things which might have BEEN
In the American war of l77S-S3,
when the Dutch were again our
enemies, our hands were so full
that we could not spare men to at
tack the Cape, though it would
have made matters far easier for
us in India if it had been in our
power. 1t was not until 1885 that
the navy was able to get hold of
the colony with its anchorages.
In ttat year Sir George Keith Ell
phinstone came down with a strong
squadron and troops and took the
COLONY with some difficulty. Hol-
land had been dragged into war
against us by France, and was
crushed between the two of us. 1t
is probable that we might have
managed matters very quietly and
have securad 81 comfortable naval

connected with a geyser.which shoots
up IN immense column of water ey.

varies to the tenth OF n second and

rhe chiId Afraid of the parIs.

A timid child cries when he is put to
bed because he is afraid Of the dark The
"soft hearted" parent stays with him sim
ply because he is sorry for him and wants
to comfort him. The scientifically trained
parent stays with him because he realizes
that the child is passing through phase
of race development in which his imagina-
tlon has the best Of him. 1t is impossible
TO reason him out Of demonology because
his logical faculties are not developed.
After all, these two parents, wide apart in
point Of view, act much the same, and
very differently from the pseudo scientific
parent, who acts from dogmatic convic-
ton and is sure he is right He talks Of
developing his child's self respect and
good sense and leaves him to cry himself
to sleep, demanding powers Of self control
and development which the child does not
possess. Jane Adams in Atlantic.

THE SUNDAY LAW.
The Pennsylvania sabbath Association
Issues "a Public Appeal.

Issues "A Public Appeal.
We are in receipt of a communication from
the secretary of the Pennsylvania Sabbath
Association, in opposition to bill presented
in the Legislature calling for important
changes in the present Sabbath law. The
letter follows:
Once again 1t becomes necessary to call to
you from the watch-tower and warn you that
Sabbath law. John IL Fow, representative
from the seventeenth district, a resident
lawyer of the seventeenth ward. Philadel-
phia, has introduced bill in the House of
Representatives calling for nine changes to
the law which protects the labOrer from Op-
preston and the worshipper from interruption
and annoyance on the Lori's Day. The bill
is now in the hands of the Committee on
Law and Order. The chairman of that COM
mittee is Hon. Milton Heidelbaugh. Letters
sent to him will go before the committee.
The changes proposed are the traditional
"Camel's nosen with the head aud shoulders
in full view. They are nine in number; all
in the interest of the lawless and disobedient
element. Its passage would be almost
equivalent to the repeal of our state Sabbath
law out and out. In the name of the Penn
/ sylvania Sabbath Association, we appeal to
all loyal and especially all christian citizens
! of the state to act Immediately, as follows;
Write a short and pointed letter to the
member who represents you in the House
and another to the member who represents
you in the Senate, urging them to vote
against the Anti-Sabbath Fow bill and use
each his earnest influence with his fellow
members to induce them to ,Ote against it.
You will all get answers to your letters.
Mark that. A member Of the House told me
to-day that petitions ordinarily had but little
weight with those opposed to a measure un-
less it came from their own neighborhOod,
but, said he, personal letter from his con-
stituents caused him to stop and think and
act carefully. Now get your pen, fellow
citizens, and write these two letters. 1t will
be too late when the law is gone.
Pastors of the churches and teachers Of
the people oh, for His sake who is Lord OF
the Sabbath" and who made you His am
bassadors to lost world, write and mail
these two letters before you sleep. A mem.
ber of the Legislature said to me to-day II
have the pulpits of my county behind me as
l try to do my duty here" l replied And
every faithful pulpit has God behind it; and
that gives you pretty strong backing" After
all, the representatives of the people know
and respect the power of faithful courageou:

Roosevelt Called the Rough Rider
the Ideal Soldier of Fortune.
Most of the men had simple souls.
They could relate facts but they said
very little about what they dimly felt.
Buclky O'Neill however, the iron nerved,
iron willed fighter from Arizona, the
sheriff whose name was byword Of ter
ror to every wrongdoer, white or red the
gambler who with unmoved face would
stake and lose every dollar he had in the
world-he alone among his comrades was
a visionary, an artioulate emotionalist.
He was very quiet about it, never talk
ing unless he was sure of his listener, but
at night, when we leaned on the railing
to look at the Southern Gross, he was less
apt to tell tales of his hard and stormy
past than he was to speak Of the mysteries
which lie behind courage and rear and
love, Behind animal hatred and animal
lust for the pleasures that have tangible
shape, He had keenly enjoyed life, and
he could breast its turbulent torrent as
few men could He was a practical man
who knew how to wrest personal success
from adverse forces, among money
makers, politicians and desperadoes alike
Yet down at bottom what seemed to in
terest him most was the philosophy of life
itself, of our understanding of 1t and Of
the limitations set to that understanding.
But ne was as far as possible from being
mere dreamer of dreams. A stanchly
loyal and generous friend, he was also ex-
ceedingly ambitious on his own account.
If by risking his life, no matter how great
the risk, he could gain high military dis
tinction, he was bent on gaining 1t. He
had taken 80 many chances when death
lay on the hazard that he felt the odds
were now against him. But said he,
"Who would not risk his life for starr"
Had he lived and had the war lasted he
would surely have won the eagle, if not
the star.-"The Rough Riders, by Theo-

Natural Antidote For Poisons.
