The Troops on the Scene.


Although the impending army corps is a
matter of pre-eminent military interest, the
troops already on the scene of probable ac-
ton constitute no insignificant body. The
original Cape garrison was 5000 men, and
this has been increased by $500. There are
1900 men at sea, on the way to the Cape
and their arrival will make the approx
mate total of British troops in South At
RIGA, prior to the arrival of the army
corps, 25,5W. These troops do not include
the irregular forces, the Cape Mounted
Rifles, the Port Elizabeth and GrahamS-
town volunteers, the Natal police, the Dur
ban Light Infantry. the Australian force,
nor the regular naval brigade.
The cape squadron now includes ten war
ships, all heavily manned, and the British
first-class protected cruisers Terrible and
Powerful will soon arrive, enabling the
navy to land a brigade of about 1000 men.
Against this array are opposed the Trans
vaal and its ally, the Orange Free State.
with perhaps a sprinkling of natives. This
is about all that can be said regarding the
Boer forces. They are virtually non-reg-
ulars and attempts to estimate their fight
ing strength are hopeless, although various
calculations appear daily in the English
newspapers, ranging from 20,uo to l25,hU,
the latter figure being obviously very eX-
travagant.
The whole question was summed up to-
day for the Associated Press by an influ-
entail member Of the house of commons,
who said:
have to face every Boer man or boy strong
enough to fire gun for the sake of his
country"
The part which the foreigners who are
volunteering under the Boer standard, aspe-
cially Americans, will take in the expected
conflict provokes much supposition and
comment. The correspondent of the st.
James Gazette at Pietermaritzburg says:

Valuable sword. OF Honor.

A carved sword of honor, owned by
the Gackwar OF Baroda. India, is by
far the most valuable in the world,
it's hilt and scabbard being encrusted
with diamonds, rubies and emeralds
of the rarest kind, the whole being
valued at 100000. Several of the ma
tive Indian princes have swords OF
honor of more than half the value of
that belonging to the ruler of Baroda,
the golden hits being studded with the
most valuable precious stones. The
Shah OF Persia had sword valued at
upwards Of 10000 which he wore on
his visit to Great Britain. The car
of Russia and the sultan OF Turkey
possess swords, set with diamonds and
other precious stones worth thousands
of pounds. The sword OF honor pre-
scented to Lord Wolseley by the Egyp-
tians is set with diamonds and walked
at $4,000.

tor, and that the injury he had re-
ceived was a dislocation OF the shout
der blade and the doctors orders were
that he must rest himself for some
days"
Mr.. P. could not forget altogether
what had been told him about his
drinking habits, and wondered II, after
all, Sidney Stanton could possibly be
playing a trick on him. In order to
confirm the truth or otherwise of his
story, Mr.. p. the same evening dis
patched a junior clerk to the house in
which Stanton boarded, giving him
particular instructions not to allow the
message with which he was entrusted
to be delivered secondhand, but to see
Stanton and deliver 1t himself.
And so he did. AS he was ushered
into his room he was amazed to see
Stanton reclining upon his bed. with
both arms thrown up, resting on the
pillow, his fingers locked within each
other, resting across his head.
II was nearing the end of the week,
and a part of the message the junior
clerk was given to deliver was for him
TO make every effort to be at business
on Saturday. If you cannot use your
arm for taking orders or for parceling,
you can take the Office and act as
cashier, and the cashier will assist us
at the counter"
A question which Mr. p. had in
structed his messenger to put to Stan
ton was: TO what doctor did you go?"
His reply to that question was re-
ported TO be prompt and positive, as IL
II had the ring OF truth In 1t; but
unfortunately It had not-rather was 1t
the deathknell OF disappointed hopes.
Between then and Saturday morning
there was ample time for making full
Inquiries as to the truth Of Stanton's
statement. He had given the name OF
DR.. M, but as there were two doc
tors whose names were so nearly alike
as to be somewhat confusing unless
very distinctly pronounced. and as they
resided in very close proximity to each
other, Mr.. P telephoned to each.
in turn asking II young man answer

ing TO the Sescription given, had called
IN their GISvices during the past TWEEN
ty-four hours for a dislocated should
err blade and had he called upon them
at o'clock a. m. today; the hour at
which Stanton, in telephoning, men,
toned that he had seen the doctor?
They both stated, most positively
that no young man had called upon
them at that hour; nor had they been
asked to set a shoulder blade.
Saturday morning came, and Stan
ton came, too, carrying his arm in a
sling. They solemnly informed him
that his story from beginning to end,
was false. and a fabrication.
He vainly endeavored to wriggle out
of it-by telling Mr.. P that he
must have made inquiries of the wrong
doctor, as there were two by that
name, living very near together.
Mr.. P was quite prepared, how
ever, for this remark, and promptly
informed him that he had communi-
Gated with both.
With few words Of salutary advice
and counsel, from his erstwhile en-
ployer, Sidney Stanton, with detected
countenance, sad heart and slow step
walked out into the street.
Where is he today? He, the bright,
promising young man; with culture
and grace of manner anyone might al
most envy?
Walking the streets without char
acter.
That is what ''lie" cost him.
In conversation upon the street
with one who knew under what pc
culiar circumstances he had left Mr..
P-'s employ, Stanton said: 81 have
lost one of the best situations l ever
had, and all through lie! God help
ing me, will, never, never tell an

Would you give him another trial,
and his position back again if you
were in need OF a clerk?" asked a
friend. interested in Stanton.
That is no easy question to give
an immediate answer to-" said Mr..
p. "If 1t was only a slip from
sobriety which he had made, would
have no hesitation in receiving him
back again, for he was, / think, the
smartest young man behind the count
or that l have ever met during busl-
ness career Of more than thirty years;
and that is saying a great deal. But
he is a liar. l would never know

sion and voice, he uttered the words

success, which seemed so we'll assured.

loss of character and unhappiness he
would have spared himself.-Ram'-

Democrat: +. II. Browning, OF Scat
tie. who has just returned from Daw-
son over the ice, brings news of the
terrible death of Carl Joel, OF New
York, who was killed by Yukon bear
en- the banks of the Indian river. These
bears resemble a cinnamon, but are
larger. Joel was tramping up the
trail with heavy Pack, when he sud
denly came face to face with a big
Yukon bear, which started for the
miner as soon as he saw him. Joel
was armed with a heavy A Colt re-
volver and every chamber was loaded.
He started to fire at the beast when it
was 20 feet away. His aim was steady
and when he pulled the trigger bull

a severed artery, and he wrote out the
story OF the fight in crimson on the
snow. The bear kept on and the min

showed that the second bullet went
home. No vital spot had been struck
and with the huge beast numbering
down upon him Joel stood his ground
and fired the remaining cartridges. AS
the beast was upon him he fired his

over the heart, but it had been fired
too late. With its last tremendous

WHAT A LIE COST.
by Sidney Stanton.

copyrighted, 1899, by +. l.. Chapman.)
1t was into a large and handsomely
fitted retail grocery establishment, re-
splendent with mirrors, which re-
flected the dazzling brightness shining
from many suspended bulbs of light
that a young man, some rs years of
age, entered in reply to an advertise
ment for a "irst-class clerk"
The store was situate in the aristo-
cratic quarter of metropolitan city,
and as the proprietor was we'll known
as a man of answering integrity, ac-
tuated in his dealings always by Chris
tian principle, and withal having a
thirty years experience, gathered from
both sides of the Atlantic, behind him,
it was considered no mean privilege
for any young man to be in his employ.
Standing near the door as the young
man entered, Mr. p. bowed slightly,
asking what he could have the pleasure
OF doing for him, when the young man
removed his hat and with a radiant
smile which seemed TO suit him well,
and in tone of voice which gave good
evidence of refinement, said: Il have
called, sir, in reply to your advertise
ment for n 'first-class clerk.
Being questioned as to whom he had
served, or was serving, and replying
satisfactorily, Mr. p. was so favorably
impressed by the young mans bearing
and manner that, without demanding
references" as to character or ability
or both, he at once engaged him to
enter upon his new service at the be-
ginning of the following week
Promptly at the hour appointed Sid
ney Stanton was at his post He soon
sprang into favor with Mr.. p, who
warmly congratulated himself that at
last he had found what he had so long
been seeking-a young man who was
quick in his every movement, a thor
ough salesman and with an address"
as natural as it was pleasant. He was,
indeed, his beau ideal Of a counter
hand.
1t was not long. however before a
kind CD friend whispered to Mr.. p.
that Stanton was addicted to drinking,
and that he had lost more than one
situation by 1t. But it made no differ
ence to Mr.. p. His only reply was
that he had found in him young man
of superior ability, and that so far he
was we'll satisfied with him, and that
even if the story were true, he should
here have another chance given him
90 retrieve his character.
Nothing was said to Stanton about
this, and he had probably hoped and
persuaded himself to believe that Mr..
p. knew absolutely nothing.
He had held his position for about
six months, to the most perfect salts
faction Of his employer, when one
morning a telephone message come to
Mr.. p, stating that Sidney Stanton
was unable to come to business on ac-
count of an injury sustained by falling
from the street car in going home last
night; the roads were in a slippery
condition after the rain, and in alight-
ing he had fallen"
About two hours later Stanton him
self telephoned stating that he had
