1t is the custom of many Americans
to think and speak of the Portuguese
as il they were the same as Spanish.
The two peoples come of the same
stock, it is true, but their resemblance
is only superficial. The Portuguese
iacks the dignity of bearing of the
Spaniard; he is of more sunshiny
disposition, more good natured,
we should say. He is more indus
trious and more willing to put his
pride in his pocket. He the Portu-
guese are c!eanly, thrifty, law abid-
ing people. Though Portugal and
Spain are neighbors, they are the re-
verse OF friends. The Spaniards af-

who is the Dutch equivalent of the

The Boer much resembles our Amer
lean Apache in his ability to live on
the shadow of things when in the
field. A writer of South Africa, in u
contribution to London paper, calls
attention TO the ability of the Boer to
live on rations which an ordinary
trooper would not endure and his ca
pacity to travel great distances with
horse in incredibly short time.
The Boer knows every road and
trail of the Transvaal; as hunter he
knows the devious ways of tho wastes
beyond. He is an aGriculturist and a
hunter. BY the law of self-preserva-
ton he has learned the willy ways of
the savage whom he displaced in the
Transvaal. The secret recesses Of the
mountains are at his command. As a
horseman he much resembles our
American cowboy. He can ride on top
of the saddle, or over his horses
neck, or Cossask fashion, with one
foot in the stirrup, one leg on the sad
die and his head and shoulders on the
ground. His horse is part of his fam
lily life. The beasts are very hardy,
sure-footed and affectionate. Then,
too, the Boer is Injured to the hard
ships OF the mountains, to long horse
back journeys, scant allowances of
food, tricks on which the water supply
is scarce.
In the campaign of 1881 against the
English the Boer took good care that
his forces never faced the enemy in
the open field. He never offered open

ger, as boy, helped the forty Dutch

bravery Of the men is shown by the

the British generals have adopted as

The BOER AS
A FIGHTER.

The Beers are born fighters, n ma
bon of sharpshooters, they never waste
bullet; each Boer selects his man
nd kills him aud keeps on doing the
|ame thing all day and every day un-
|til the war is over. IL is n common
boast with them which they have made
good in more than one clash with the
British, that one Boer is equal to ten
Englishmen. They do not come ont
and fight in the open, but swarm all
over a mountain side, hiding behind
trees and rocks, and woe to the thin
red line or hollow square that comes
within range of their unerring Mar
tinis and Mausera. In fact, the Boer
victories over the British soldiers are
largely accountable for the British
feeling against them, and in the bitter
warfare against the nation the success
of the Beers has been extraordinary.
Fewer than 450 Beers resisted 49,

Business Mems Complaints Against

the Stamp Deputy.
Many of the business men of Washington
who daily use large quantities of internal
revenue stamps complain that it frequent
ly happens that the Office of the Stamp
Deputy of the Collector for the District
of Maryland, in G Street, opposite the Pat
ent Office, is closed at 2 o'clock and that
they are unable to purchase stamps after
that hour, and also that after II o'clock oa
Saturdays no stamps can be bought.
1t was said at the Office Of the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue this morning
that no such complaints had been fled
with the Commissioner. "The Stamp Dep
uty,'' said an official of the Internal Reve-
nue. Office, "is required by law to deposit
in bank every day the receipts from the
sale of Internal revenue stamps, and as
the banks close at 8 o'clock on weeks days,
except Saturday, when they close at II, it
will be seen that the Stamp Deputy must
be governed accordingly. 1t takes little

posit. If the business men who complain
