The War Song of the BOer.

The hardy Boer now singeth,
AS TO his feet he springeth,
song that's full of ragged, jagged rumble, rant
and roar.
He loads his trusty rifle,
And chants this chunky trlhe-
This wondrous, cumbrous melody--the war song
of the Boer:
"Waa hoog nou in ons heider lug
Traansvaase vrejheidsviag,
Ons vijande Is weggeviug;
Nou blinkn blijer dag"
1t looks like barbwire fencing,
With broken glass commencing;
1t tanges, jangles, maugles-then it wranges on
once more.
1t cannot be unraveed,
once from his throat it's travelled
This tripletwisted, double listed war song of the
Boer:
"Waai hoog nou in ons heider lug
Traansvaalse vriejhedsvag,
ons WJaude is weggevug
Nou bnkn blijer dag"
II helps us to determine
What our own General Sherman
Meant when he said that was like place that
had floor
That's paved with good intention
But not polite to mention
This awe-inspiring, rapd-hring war song of the
Boer;
"Waai hoog nou in ons heider lug
Traansvaalse vriejheidsviag,
Ons vljaude is weggoviug
Nou blink'n blijer dag"
| No mat ter how you read 1t,
| You certainly win heed it,,
| For backward, forward, upside down, 1t brings up
thoughts o. gore.
| If it's meant to be Jolly,
1t must have slipped its trolley
This schrapnel worded, pistol-girded war song OF
the Boer;
''Waai hoog nou in ons heider lug,
| rraansvaalss vriejheidsviag.
Ons vijande is weggevugi
Nou blink'n bjer dag"

That Round Robin.

MANILA, Oct, 27.-Papers have
been received containing Gen. OTIS
answer to the Manila correspondents
''round robin" 1t will be remem-
bered that Gen. Corbn denied that the
war department had withheld Gen.
OTIS official dispatches, other than
plans for future operations. Yet this
very answer of Otis was censored,
emitting the concluding words as ca
bled from here: "Personally l do not
care what they send. I do not favor
any censorship over news dispatches"
This proves what we suspected that
the blame of keeping the American
public in ignorance is not entirely on
Gen. OILS. He tells your correspond
ent that his cables characterlzing the
situation as "critical" or Serious" at
Washington were 80 modified as to al
lay public suspicion. That Washing.
ton authorities realize their mistake is
evident, since the "round robin" as the
status of the correspondents has steadily
improved. Gen. Otis permits limited
use of the military telegraph on the
island. In view of the advantages
gained besides enlightening the public
OF the true situation here, correspond
ents feel that the Ground Robin" was
justified. Signed ED. L. KEEN.

BURDENED WOMEM.

We look in amazement at the burdens
some women carry upon their heads.
Yet how light they are compared with
the burdens some women carry upon
their hearts. There are childless women
whose hearts ache ceaselessly because of
the childless home. That burden of
childlessness has been lifted from the
heart of many a woman by the use of
DIR. Pierce's I'avorite Prescription. Many
of the obstacles to maternity are renov-
able. Such obstacles are entirely re-
moved by oF'avorite Prescription" 1t

ripe tart apples directly into this mix
ture stirring each in well before adding
another. When all are put in, put In a

erence at St. Adams Wednesday afternoon
with Gen. Manager Fitzhugh of the Cen

mainly devoted to q general discussion OF
grievances of the men in the train depart
ment. II is impossible to learn of the de-
tails of the interview as the committee
men would not give out any Information.
1t is believed, however, that the general at
titude of the management was conciliatory.
Nothing has occurred to change the situa-
ton. Il is not believed strike is immin-
emit. The men admit there has been
change in their runs made by the new man
agement in many OF the trips Of the traiIl-
men and that their pay was also raised at
the same time. That there are cases where
these changes have been made where the
| men have to be away from home a part of
the time causing them added expense of
! living so that their raise in pay does not
cut much OF figure. These cases have
been brought to the attention of the man
agement and brought with no thought of
| any other result than an amicable and just
| one. The management now has the matter

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 24.-The Ma
tonal Woman's Christian Temperance
Union passed series of resolutions to-
day, some of which caused hours of
discussion. The main fight was over
two resolutions, one censuring the gen.
eral government and the President At
torney General Griggs and ex-Secre-
tary of War Alger by name, for their
action on the anti-canteen law, and the
other denouncing the war in the Phil
ippines. The opposition to the pas
sage of the resolution denouncing the
war was led by Mrs. Mary H. Hunt of
Massachusetts who lost a son in the
Philippines, while the pro-resolutlon
forces were led by Mrs. Clary Hoff-
man of Missouri and Mrs. X. l.. Stew
enson of Massachusetts. These reso-
lutions were finally adopted, as was one
protesting against the seating of Rep

And they who wrought the masts of steel and they

Drowned sons of Maine,
And while we bssk triumphantly in Uncle samuers
We know who really won the race-the sailors of
Deer Isle.
Sir Thomas has gallant crew, carney crew has
As bold and brisk set of lads ever went to sea
But on this queer old coast of Maine the sailormen
Fulfil the motto of the State and make their plans
For he whose craft has sluggish heels is tardy with
And woe to him who cometh late to market with
So every day the race is on from York to Quoddy

And every day catfish squalls the little sails are

And he who watches all her moods, anticipates her

And we in Maine who know the men place credit
