TINY TOKENS.


The memory Of kindly word
For long gone by
The fragrance OF a fading flower
Sent lovingly
The cleaning Of sudden smile
or sudden tear,
The warmer pressure OF the hand.
The word Of cheer:
The hush that means II cannot speak,
But | have heardl"
The note that only bears a verse
From Gods own Word:
Such tiny things we hardly count
AS ministry,
The givers deeming they have shown
Scant sympathy;
But when the heart IL overweight,
oh, who can tell
The power Of such tiny things
To make It well!

orthe Transyaal Situation Taken by
the London Press.
LONDON, Sept. 5.-The latest news
received in this city from various parts
Of South Africa is vague and contradlc-
tory. Nothing more Is known regarding
the status of the negotiations between
Great Brain and the Transvaal than
that learned yesterday The officials
of the British war office emphatlcally
deny that the reserves have been called
out or that any steps have been taken
to that end.
The afternoon papers follow the lead
of the morning papers In taking an ex-
tremely grave view OF the situation,
although the war office denial some
what tends to allay the wildly alarmist
reports current late last night.
The second edition Of the Times is-
sued this morning contains dispatch
from Pretoria under date Of September
4, saying: "The predominant view is
that the last dispatch opens up the
way to q modus Vivendi, inRsmuch as
the proposals of Mr.. Chamberlain, the
British secretary OF state for the coll
onies, relating to the seven year fran
chise, have been practically complied
with. This Is the result OF the intiu-
ence Of Herr Fischer. the special agent
OF the Orange Free State) with the
raad."
This dispatch, however, is at variance
with the editorial Views on the matter
expressed by the Times this morning.

constituents this evening at Arbrenth,
dwelt upon the necessity OF so shaping

Judgment OF the Dutch population in
South Africa and not to divide tho
white races.
"There could not be-" said Mr.. Nor

folly than war that would bring

Transvaal would mean deep dIshonor."
