DROP THIS BOY OUT WEST"

Take this boy out west and drop
him. 1 don't want him. I'm tired of
him."
This was the message received by a.
G. Sheldon of the firm OF Sheldon &
Co. bankers, from the father of Mark
US Rendelstern, whose home is in Pod
wolcziska, Austrian Galicia.
Markus. who is II years old, arrived
on the steamer Pennsylvania on Jan
uary ., and was sent to 1--we with his
uncle, Abram Gelber. on the east side.
IN few days the boy was found wan
dering through the east side streets.
The barge office doctor found that
the boy had consumption and he was
sent back to his father in Podwolc-
ziska.
AS the passengers from the steamer
Patria were filing through the barge
office yesterday Markus was recognized
among them. Banker Sheldon soon
appeared with a letter of advice from
Banker Reuden of Hamburg.
This boy is forwarded to New York
consigned to your care" Reuden's let
ter read Enclosed are instructions
from his father as follows: Take this
boy out west and drop him. I am tired
of him.
The boy is to be sent hack to his
father. and the government of Austria
is to be requested to compel the father
to take care of him.-New York World.

AUTOMOBILES FOR ARMY.

The government has taken its first
official cognizance OF the automobile in
giving out a contract for three wag-
ons to be used by the signal corps. Two
of them are of the covered type. which
is designed for the transportation of
equipment as well as men, while the
third is open and designed for the
conveyance of the officers of the corps.
The first of these is furnished with
batteries of sufficient capacity for a
run of thirty miles on one charge. car
rying q load of 1.50O pounds. There
are two motors of three and one-half
horse power each, but these are so ar
ranged that in case of emergency there
is available a total of twelve horse
power. This provision is made to meet
a particularly bad stretch of road. The
wheels have steel hubs, with ball bear
ipgs, and the tires, instead Of being
pneumatic, are of solid rubber two and
a half inches thick.
In order that the wagon may be as
unobtrusive as possible in the field of
action it is painted a dull green. and
is entirely devoid of ornamentation.-

IN THE TRANSVAAL.

The Boer has raised his rifle arm
And made his prayer to God.
The gold of Kimberley is red
Beneath the crimson sod
For broken is the British oath
And hard the British rod.
Who boasteth in his foolish pride:
Behold me, l am free"
Must keep his sword within his reach.
His musket on his knee,
Nor dare to sleep, lest he awake,
In chains of tyranny.
For gold is in the stubborn lands
That grudge their tithes of grain;
For mines of diamonds are hid
Beneath the arid plain,
And England is not first to cast
Her VOW aside for gain.
The Boer is but 4 simple man.
With simple thoughts and ways:
y ki1sman to the stolid beast
With dull and patient gaze
y simple man who shoots 10 XIII.
And. killing, shoots and prays.
Upon his veldts and rocky rands
The English spears are set;
Beneath the burning Afric skies
The northern troopers fret.
But some remember in their dreams.
Majuba's mountain, yet.
Who has not bars upon his coat
Must fight, nor question, Why"
Who has not earned the right to speech
Has twice the right to die
But if one dared to ask the cause,
What man would dare reply?
And 50 the Boer has raised his gun,
And made his prayer to God
The gold of Kimberley is red
Beneath the crimson sod
For broken is the British oath
And hard the British rod
