MAUD MULLER ON THE LINKS.

Maud Muller. on a summer day.
Was out in the meadow raking ray.
Beneath her straw hat glowed wealth
OF large, red freckles and rustic health.
Singing she raked and didn't see
The Judge addressing at the tee
But at last she glanced across the links
And saw the Judge and sighed "Oh jinks"
'I'll bet If I hit that ball a whack
THEY'D never succeed in getting it back!'
The Judge moved onward stroke by stroke
Until he got bunkered behind an OAK.
Then he stopped for while and scratched
his head,
He stood and famed himself in the shade.
And, looking over, he saw the maid
He asked for draught from the jug she
Twas cider she'd carried out to her dad.
NE offered to let him use her cup,
ID. ae took the jug and he turned it up.
While his Adams apple went up and down.
The Judge drank on till she feared he'd
For the golfer gets terrible thirst.
Thss-se spoke of the grass. the birds, the
az foozles and strokes and puts and tees.
And Maud forgot the unraked hay.
And wished she could have chance TO
play
The Judge said "Come! and he pinched
And She swiped away with the Judges
cleek. i,
They sent the caddie along ahead.
So he couldn't hear what either SAID. -
And they baffed and putted and fooled
And sat and talked on the teeing ground.
She sighed and she thought to herself.
That | the judges bride might be!
1A'' '-' y
WED fix up bunkers on fathers, place,
And I'd set His Honor beautiful pace.
.My brother should be a caddie then, =.
And I'd stance with ladies and gentlemen
But the Judge. at last. resumedhis play.
And Maud went back to ralSing hay.
..Runkered." she sighed. land stymied, too!
It's a sad old world, Maud Muller, for
you
The Judge moved slowly over the hill,
And he thought sometimes, as Judges will.
He thought of Maud Mullers plump brown
arms,
And her freckled nose and her other
charms.
But there were his sisters, cold and proud,
Up at the clubhouse with the crowd.
SO he left the treasure that he had found,
And married a woman who bossed him
round.
Oft when the wine in his glass is red
He longs for the cider jug instead.
Maud married a man who couldn't spell,
And she helps him harvest hay to sell.
She rocks the cradle and sadly croons.
As she patches the holes in his pantaloons.
And oft as she darns his socks she thinks
OF those other holes out on the links.
Alas for maiden! Alas for Judge!
For the hen-pecked man and the house
hold drudge!
All. pity them both, and pity us all
Who hit the earth instead of the ball!
For of all sad words to those who've
missed
eff is the saddest in the list!
But a time will come for man and maid
When every game will be fairly played.
Green fields await us all some where
And approaches are never fooled there

to raid Natal three weeks ago. Then
they might have swept through the col
ony without much opposition. Now the
British forces have been greatly strength
ened by the arrival of troops from India,
and the task Of reducing fortified towns,
defended by experienced soldiers, is GER
tain to prove tedious If not impossible.
AS long as the British remain on the
defensive, as seems to be their policy, the
Beers may occupy the famous Laing's
Mex, wipe out the 100 men of the naval
brigade at E%stcourt, destroy bridges and
damage railroads, as reported by cable,
but their object, the conquest of South
Africa, will be as far away as ever. On
the other hand, if the British troops at
present in the colonies of South Africa
hold their own until the army corps from
England reach the cape the prospect of
an ultimate Boer victory is very doubt
full. Real danger threatens British Be-
chuanaland, where, in Mafeking, Col.
Baden-Powell, with a slender command,
is awaiting probable extinction at the
hands of Commander Cronje and his
1900 burghers. Such a move would
strengthen the Beers cause, secure ma
tive allies and perhaps induce a Dutch
revolt in Cape Colony. All this may be
accomplished, and yet the real campaign
awaits the arrival of the 10000 British
soldiers under the leadership of strateg-
ical masters, whose wits and numbers
are supposed to be a match for the ma
tive craft and courage of the warlike
Boer.
Sympathy is largely with the Beers,
and the nations of Europe are loud in
their denunciations of Great Britain, but

Made-united States IL Notified.

A dispatch from Cape Town, Africa.
says that a British armored train from
Mafeking was blown up and destroyed by
the Beers at yryburg Thursday evening.
Fifteen British soldiers were killed and
the first blood OF the war shed The
Beers shelled the wreckage after the
train was deraile,t. Nryburg is midway
between Kimberley and Mafeking on the
cape government railroad, which skirts
the whole western frontier Of the Trans
vaal and Orange Free State. Wal was
declared Wednesday by the South At
rican republic, the formal declaration go
ing into eifect at 10 o'clock Thursday
Having determined to act on the in
itiative the moment the time specified in
their ultimatum should expire, the Beers
crossed the Natal border Thursday, thus
committing a distinct act of war. The
campaign now begun may have far-reach-
ing Consequences. The British may be
driven out Of South Africa, or the Beers
may be reduced to their old position as
a British dependence. The former re-
suit would be but tie beginning of the
dismemberment of the British empire.
