Republican ticket of John
Courier Morris, of Scranton, and John
Penman, of Olyphant, for county COM
missioners; and William f. Johns, IF
Hyde Park, and Fred l.. Ward, of

were noted mainly for the intense po-
litical activity of Mayor Moir's mon
partisan" police force. faCtional
complexion having recently been lent,

The Old Trundle Bed.

oh, the old trundle bed where slept
when a boy,
What canopied king might not covet the
joy?
The glory and peace of that slumber of
mine,
Like a long, gracious rest in the bosom
divine;
The quaint, homely couch, hidden close
from the light,
But daintily drawn from its hiding at
night.
Oh a nest of delight, from the foot to the
head,
Was the queer little, dear little, old trun-
die bed!
Oh, the old trundle bed, where wonder
ing saw
The stars through the window, and lis
tened with awe
To the sigh of the winds as they trem-
blingly crept
Through the trees where the robins so
restlessly slept.
Where L heard the low, murmurous chirp
of the wren,
And the katydid listlessly chirrup again,
Till my tired fancy slowly but gently was
led
Through the maze of the dreams of the
old trundle bed.
Oh, the old trundle bed! Oh, the old
trundle bed!
With its plump little pillow and old
fashioned SPREAD
It's snowy white sheets, and the blankets
above,
Smoothed down and tucked round with
the touches Of love-
The voice of my mother to lull me to
sleep
with the old fairy stories my memories
keep
Still fresh as the lilies that bloom DER
the head
Once bowed DER my own in the old trun-
die bed.

with honest intentions, believes that
1t has been wrongly influenced by
Cecil Rhodes and the capitalist inter-
csts i'm South Africa. and is therefore
opposed to war as not only barbarous
but unnecessary. This gentleman
writes:
"The Boer forces number 10000 men,
between the ages of II and As, with
reserve of $1,000 up to 60 years, to be
called up in case of dire necessity. The
Orange Free state burghers number
10000 with reserve of 5000. This
gives n total for the republics of 10000
men. About 10000 men can be reck-
oned upon to join from the cape dis
tricts and the Dutch districts OF Natal,
making a total fghting Afrikander
contingent of $4,000 men. These are
for the greatest part armed with the
latest pattern Of the Mauser rifle and
practically all are mounted on service
able horses. The Transvaal has be-
sides between ten and fifteen batteries
Of the most modern artillery, including
Krupps, Maxim Nordenfeld quick
French melinite gun. 1t has any guam
tity of ammunition and modern equip
;l1ents. The orange Free State has six
batteries of Krupp nine-pounder held
guns and howitzers, and eXcellently
trained men under command of Major
Albrecht, an able ex-ofiicer in the
Prussian artillery. The programme of
these forces will not be offensive. The
main purpose will be to harass the in
vading army by night attacks. NO
masses Of burghers will maneuver in
any open place, but strong commands
Of 200 and 800 men will practice guer-
rila warfare, supported here and
there by artillery, in manner which
will again provide novel experiences
for Tommy Atkins. The rapid. mobil-
| iZation of the BOer forces both in 1881
and 1896. has been the wonder of the
military experts in Europe. The Boer
| commanders take no COmmisslarlat.
! Every man takes his own supplies
and though the end of a probably long
conflict with the power Of Great Brit
| ain must be defeat, there will again be
surprises for the world, which will
prove the gallantry of these South
African rough riders"
From a statement of this kind, taxi
ing into account the nature of the coun-
try, the distances at which England
would have to operate away from her
bases of supply, and the difficulty of
moving masses of men against agile
| guerrilla bands we can readily see
| why her majesty's government does
| not move to the attack with enthusiasm.
| But there is also another point noted

merits attention; and that is in the

of the black tribes. from one end of
the continent to the other, against
