These Houseclcaniur DAYS.

These llousecleaning Days.
oh. the housekeeping days with their hor-
rorS are here,
When adorned in our very worst
clothes
We burn up old hats without even tear.
We ransack old boxes of various things,
Pun up the carpets to pound
Oh, the trials and worries that house
cleaning brings,
For this trouble no cure has been found
The pipes must come down with their SCOT
all around,
And that man is cross as Il bear,
AS he climbs on a bench which is not very
sound
OR stands on a threc-lcgged chair.
Those very same joints won't now go to-
gether,
Though he tries them this way and that;
So he stands in Il tuttcr and talks of the
weather,
with the SCOT ON his very best hat.
Then his business is pressing he rushes
Before We're half through with the Job;
He IL go back uptown, at home he'll not
stay,
This housekeeping raises such hob
He'll come back for dinner with a large
appetite,
And perhaps bring a friend to the
spread;
We rush to the cupboard, we're in such a
fright,
And find there-a dry crust of bread.
How we wish for these Woodworking days
to be over,
When the man then no longer will roam,
He'll forget these hard times when the
house is like clover,
And say, There's no place like home!'

ONE or THE MOST PATHETIC
WARS IN HISTORY.

Imagine the position Of these fami.
lies OF simple country folk, left with
out the natural protectors and mas
tiers of the farms. Wives know that
they have none to look to for help en-
cept their little boys. their trusty
miles and their God. Whatever hap
pens, the country Is stripped Of its
strong men. They are on the frontier
singing the psalms which comrorted
their fathers i'll the desperate loncli.
ness and peril OF the days when Dutch
South Africa WAS won from the say
age beasts and still more savage men
They stand as a thin line of defend
crs OF their native land, against the
armies of II mighty empire. They are
to do battle against the murderous
dnln-dum bullets and the Lyddite
shrapnel shells of the richest and
largest realm tn, world ever saw. In
such situation the faith OF the
Beers i'll the God they worship be.
comes extremely touching. The men
IN the camps aud the women and
children i'll the scattered farm houses
are relying on the favor of heaven to
offset the vast prepOnderence OF the
enemy's forces. No people equally
calm and sensible would ever have
fonnd courage for such terribly
one-sided war il they had been less
sincere and simple minded i'll their
faith. II these conditlocs in South
Afrien leave anything wanting to
make complete picture of the most
pathetic war in history. we know not
what it is. y brave, devout and hon
est people, only few thousand fam
lilies in all, stand at bay in South Al.
rlca. They are cut Off from the sea
and from outside help. They have
staked their whole hope OF Of ptcser-
ing their independence upon their
self devotion and their faith in God.
The good wishes OF the world 90 out
to them. But the hard lessons OF the
past teach that they must 90 down in
rum and death, before the trcmen-
dous superiority Of their foe, both in
numbers and munitions of war. One

long before the Bostonesc took It into
their heads to sever diplomatic rela. q.
tions between the American colonies
and their Uncle George, the English
King.
This particular colored man was
apprehended, tried and sentenced to
be hanged by the neck. History
does not give the full name OF the
colored man who was preached to
with rope around his neck and a
grave dug within sight, but in the
sermon he il referred to as Arthur, or
more specifically and with view to
giving Arthur tip that there was no

days when prize fighting, horse races
and smoking Of tobacco were held TO

people Hooked out in large numbers
to see the trap sprung and the victim
