corted him to the door and then went
back to her knitting. 1t was difficult to
think of her as the first lady of the land.
Yet she has been Mr. Kruger's constant
helpmeet through all the years of his
public life, and their affection for each
other seems to have grown with each
succeeding year. She is Mr. Kruger's Sec

Kruger's first wife was an aunt of Miss
Du Plessis. and bore him one son, who
died. Sixteen children were the fruit Of
this second marriage, and of those seven
are living. The girls are comfortably
married to burghers in and about Preto-
ria. and the boys take an active interest
IN the army. One son-in-law, Captain
Eloff, mas made himself famous by build
ing the most expensive mansion in South

warehouses full of ammunition, and could
undoubtedly, with their present defenses

Mr. Kruger is now 76 years old, and
has been elected to the Presidency four
times His salary is $4,000 a year, with
$500 for coffee This he drinks black, and

Scientists do queer things sometimes
One of them attempted to calculate in
cold mathematics how soon we may ex-

expects to read before the American AS

Starting with the total amount of energy

calculates that it will require 1875 900 900

despise the one and love the other. Now,
