pire cried shame The result of war be-
tween a giant and a dwarf would bring
neither honor nor prestige to British arms
William Redmond, Parnellite member for
the east division of Clare, maintained
everything he had already said in Ireland
against the niquity of the war. 1t would
be a sorry thing, he declared, for the Dig
nifty of the oath of allegiance If it compelled
those who took 1t to acquiesce in every act
of lingo government.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, conserva-
tive, representing the ecclesiastical diyis-
ion of Sheffield, predicted that within five
years after the struggle the Dutch popula-
ton of the Cape, the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State would be perfectly con-
tented and happy.

A LOST KING.
ahat WAS Centuries Ago, nut His
Faithful People Still wait
for His Coming.

In olden times, when European kings
were as plentiful as Kentucky colonies
are to-day, it was not an exceptional
occurrence for king to disappear and
never be heard Of again. In recent
times, however, the people have been
more careful Of their kings. SO when
King Sebastian Of Portugal disappeared
in battle July 90, 1878, while fighting
the Moors at tAlcazar, there was great
connection. The Moors surren dcred
to the Portuguese a body said to be that
Of the king, but it was rumored that the
Moors had the live king in custody.
The surrendered body was buried with
royal honors at Belem, but the faithful
Portuguese persisted in waiting for
the return Of their king. Long after he
would have died in the course Of nature
his countrymen longingly awaited his
coming. Even up to this day the legend
of the return Of King Sebastian is be
lieved by many, and on stormy nights
credulous Portuguese citizens will
wrap their cloaks about them and go
outside and watch the storm, thinking
that the king may appear in cloud CT
fire and again rule over his people.
