The Riley Hall dog suit which
has occasioned considerable COM
ment about here for the past two
weeks, was brought before Squire
Taylor yesterday for settlement.
After a dozen or more witnesses
had been examined the case was
dismissed. The evidence showed
that the dog, which Riley claimed
Hall had stolen from him, had
followed the latter's wagon some
distance and then stopped at a
neighboring farm where it has been
traced no further.

What Shall the New Year Bring =?

Written for THE MIDLAND JOURNAL.
What shall the new year bring thee?
What, oh what shall it bring?
May it bring thee sweetest sincerity,
From heart that will ever be true to thee.
When the nineteen hundred messenger comes
New joys may then be thine;
Under the loyal flag the drums
May beat beneath a brilliant sun;
Be his loyal heart then thine.
Loyal to woman's tenderness
Should thy home be far away
From dear fond parents, whose love would bless
Whose arms thy gentle form caress,
As in happy childhood.
Hast thou no charm for the old year now?
1t holds me in its thrall.
There are many days e'er the sacred VOW
Be answered by thy sweet voice, low,
How much we may recall.
Rich blessings we received, old year,
Beneath thy azure sky;
May joy be thine through many years,
Never cause for sorrows tear,
No fegrettul sigh.
May we dwell ON the joyous past,
Sweet joys we all have known.
Ny fervent hope is that joys may last,
No grief be thine, no shadow cast
blight on thy new home
A blissful realm thy home may be,
Where the spirit of love presides
May flowers perennial bloom for thee,
No change in thy peaceful destiny
To check loves flowing tide
Once more farewell dear, dear old year,
We calmly hail the new,
With tender hope, with quiet cheer
Thine has been a sweet old year
Has safely pass'd us through.

18th month, 1899.

Olive Schreiner ON the War.

CAPE Town, Nov. This is no
war between Dutch and English.
Five years ago, when capitalists
interested in making money out of
Matabeleland and Mashonaland,
found paucity of gold in those
countries, they perceived that they
must obtain possession of the Trans
vaal Republic and its gold fields to
make their speculations pay, and
the Jameson raid was planned and
carried out.
The plot failed. The brave men
who were the instruments of the
capitalists were punished, but the
men who planned the outrage,
shielded by that mantel of immense
wealth which renders invisible the
crime of the man who wears it,
survived untouched. Then the
plan was laid which works out to-
day. eve must have the Trans
wall" wrote the Chartered Com
pany officials, "or we cannot make
Mashonaland pay"
10 attain this end for five years
the press has been purchased and a
ceaseless stream of malignant lies
has misled the people of the world
with regard to the people and Gov
eminent of the South African
Republic.
Our gallant English soldiers and
the heroic farmers and lawyers and
citizens of South Africa are drench-
ing our soil with their blood that
this end may be attained. Let the
world watch.-OLIvE ScHREINER,
special correspondent of N. Y.
Journal.
A similar class of people in the
United States has been, for more
years than their friends in the
Transvaal, working out a plot to
gather into their own hands the
wealth created by the labor of this
people.
The schemers, like their South
A frican cousins, "to attain this end

chased and ceaseless stream of
malignant lies has misled the

AFTER ALEXANDER'S DEATH,
A New Order of Things Was Intro
duced in Greece by the Great
Macedonian COnQuerOr.

When Alexander came upon the
the composite of autonomous cities and
cantons. In this form it was past the
bloom, and was ripening to seed. All
that the little communities could ac
compGsh for history through living for
themselves had been accomplished. In
the miniature life of these isolated val
leys, opening to the sea, they had de-
veloped 6 social system in which, as
individual achievements directly count
ed, and individual responsibility was
directly assessed, personality gathered
to itself unwonted consciousness of
power. So it was that here man first,
as it were, discovered himself-frst
saw with clearness the power and the
right of the free human soul. Man as
a base-line for measuring the universe,
man as a source of governing power,
arose in Greece; it WAS Greece that
shaped the law of beauty from which
came the arts of form, the law of spec
ulative truth from which by ordered
observations came the sciences, the law
of liberty from which came the demo-
cratic state: This was what the old
Greece held in keeping for the world.
Alexander was the strong wind that
scattered the seed; again, he was the
willing hand of the sower. When he
planted 10 cities of the Greek type
on oriental soil he acted with plan and
purpose. The city was Ifellenism in
the concrete. AS principle of social
order, Hellenism was the government
of communities of men located in ter
ritory, and the source of authority was
from withini erientalism was the gov
eminent of territory in which lived
men, and the source of authority was
from without.
The story of Alexander has become
a story of death. He died himself be-
fore his time. With his life he brought
the old Greece to it's end; with his
death the state he had founded. But
they all three, Alexander, Greece, the
grand empire, each after its sort, set
forth, as history judges men and things,
the inner value of the saying: Except
a grain of wheat fall into the earth and
die, it abideth alone,1Pref. Wheeler,
in Century,
