won by any. One day a great prince,
whom no one knew, and who had never
been seen in that country before, came,
like the others, looking for the hand of
one of these beautiful ladies' But the
Queen approved of him, in case he was
able TO succeed in winning the willing
hand Of either of her daughters. and
though he triec his very best he couldn't
win either of them; for they hadn't yet
seen enough Of him land didn't know
enough about him to consent, either Of
them, to be his for life. Then, he was
too proud and naughty to spend time IN

men who endeavored to win them, and
when he couldn't have his desire granted
at once he would not delay, but went
away from the Queens court in great
wrath saying angrlly that the next Tins

him without the asking.

chatting, and looking out on the lovely
grounds, saw a great black bull tramping
among, and roofing up their flower beds
They were greatly annoyed at this and
the eldest daughter jumped up and ran
out, Selling a bit of stick by the way to
drive the bull from the garden. but when
she reached the bull and struck him with

her hand stuck TO the stick, so that she
coldn't let it go. Then the bulb started
away, dragging her after him and over

still drawn after him, very soon disap-

he never stopped running so, till he
reached another great castle painted all

into the shape of man, and the frighten-

Ten thousand Beers were gathered about
the jail, specializing az TO the fate OF
the prisoners. Some were for instant
death, and others, as a grim joke, sug-
gested cutting off their nose. This was
taken up by the press Immediately, and in
a few hours the world was shuddering at
the bloodthirstiness of the Transvaal
burghers. In the meantime, the question
was being settled by Dom Paul, who was
trying 10 save the lives of the prisoners,
and to this end used every art of persua-
sion with Joubert. the two being closeted
a whole night.
Dom Paul finally prevailed and Joubert
went out before the assembly TO win them
over to the lenient position. This was MS
speech: Fellow burghers, II you had
beautiful flock Of sheep and a neighbor'S
dogs got into the pasture and killed them,
what would you do? WoulG you take your
rife and straightway proceed to shoot
those dogs, thus making yourself liable
to greater damage than the value OF the
sheep destroyed, or would you lay hol1

and then added: 1--WE have tha neighbor's
dogs in gaol. What shall we do with
them?" There was hardly voice dissent

English, and events proved how wise the
Beers had been.
Joubert can collect his whole army In
forty-eight hours, a speedier mobilization
than any other nation can boast OF. Hs
