 DEACON DEVINE SHINING. The Yuma Sun changed hands last week. J. E. Devine, better known as Deacon Devine on account of his tendency to- ward religion, has succeeded Mulford Winscr. who took charge of the Sun about three years ago. The latest is sue contained editorials by both. The first, by MT. Winsor, was filled with thanks to the people of Yuma county for having spread his pathway with roses. The second, by Deacon Devine, breathes a hope that he will have the same kind of travelling. The deacon came to Phoenix about five years ago
  Darlington was made prison superin- tendent, when he went to Yuma to take charge of the Sentinel. There is a universal hope here that the Sun will shine with exceeding brilliancy.

 that the pair of shoes was not a weapon. which was probably the sup position on the part of the officer. The man under arrest was upbraided for not replying to the officer in the first instance and was then released Be fore leaving, however, the officer dis covered a pocket knife in his posses sion and wanted to know what it was.

Officer Al HawIey was among the first of a large crowd which soon after collected, and he sent sev- eral messages to physicians, but it was ten minutes before any medical aid arrived.

That Great Britain is preparing to

of which the famous Paul Kruger is
president, is evident; that the task will
be heavy one is equally apparent to
anyone familiar with the character,
warlike disposition and religious fer
yor of the Beers.
Viewed from a purely ethical stand
point the English government is in the
wrong when it seeks to destroy the po-
litical independence of the Roers. who
were the original settlers in South
Africa and whose valor and industry
prepared safe landing places for the
English traders and soldiers who ar

aroused the cupidity of English adven-

.rm glad" said a small boy, after
witnessing his sisters leavetaling with
a friend, .'that I'm not girl. They're

Now,a girl sometimes condemns the
skirts and hairpins, but does she eve,
condemn the gushing habit she and hel

Does she understand that what they

It is 50 easy to drift into an extrava-

Don't gush, girls. Lop on here and

bit of slang, no matter how helpful it
seems to be in piecing out your mean
ing, until you have weeded from your

SNAKES CATCH RATS.
Reptlles Are Made to Serve . veRy

Philippine Islands.

Al the writer was sitting out under
the broad piazza at the restaurant, TAX
ing coffee after dinner, his eyes hap
pened to be turned upward. About ten
feet above his head there was broad
beam, probably IS inches square. the
horizontal support of the second story.
Directly above, looking down at the
group below, was the head of an i'm.
mcnse snake, ten feet away. The end
of his tail was carelessly hanging over
the beams side.
The writer gave one jump, landing
six feet away, exclaiming: Good heav-
ems, Partridge!" (our consul then at
Manila, temporarily in charge of Amer.
lean matters at Iloilo).
"Where is it?" he asked, not moving
from his comfortable American cane.
seated rocker.
'Why, just over your head"
"Sit down here" he said to me. ''That
snake came here when this house was
put here. There are three or four 9TH

thing to him in Tagalese and in few
moments he moved away.
"Bite? Oh, yes, and viciously. too,

wounds with his fine, sharp teeth. But
he has no poison fangs."

1s95-96. when jameson made his Ill.
fated raid against johannesburg, the
commercial center of the Transvaal.
The Boers were prepared for the inva-
sion and vanquished the adventures in
one battle.
Since then the citlanders, who pay
most of taxes collected in the Trans
vaal, have several times applied to the
English government for redress of
grievances. Among other things they
demand the right of franchise and a
voice in the expenditure of the vast
sums which they are compelled to pay
into the Boer treasury. Joseph Cham
berlain, the British colonial secretary,
responded to the call of the uitlanders,
the majority of whom are Englishmen
and Americans; and not very long ago
Sir Alfred Miner, British high com.
missioner for South Africa, met Presi-
dent Kruger to discuss readjustment
of Transvaal affairs. The English Off
cial asked for more liberal naturaliza-
ton laws and an increase Of uitlandeP
representatives in the "volksraad."
President Kruger submitted . counter
proposition that citizenship be granted
to foreigners upon the following con-
ditions: First, registration IA days
after arrival; second, six months notice
of intention; third, two years con.
tinuous registrations; fourth, continu.
GUS residence: fifth, 20 have undergone
no dishonoring sentence; sixth, proof
of obedience to the laws; seventh. full
title of franchise in the country OF
origin; eighthly, the possession of prop
erty, or yearly income; all these con-
ditional upon England's consent to the
Incorporation Of Swaziland into the
Transvaal.
This counter proposal was, of course,
rejected by the British commissioner;
and it is quite probable that consent to
the English demands will be enforced
at the point Of the bayonet. The Trans
vaal is prepared for such an outcome.
Its Notifications are in a splendid con.
dition, and its army of $4,000 men,
headed by Gen. Joubert, is equipped
with Mauser rifles and modern artil-
lery. Should war come, it will be
stubborn and bloody conflict, the sue
cess Of which may hang in the balances
for long time. That England will win
in the long run is almost certain, but
whether the victory will be worth the
sacrifice it must entail is.another ques-

promised to afford permanent home
to the industrious thousands who had
created it.
But three years later Lord Napier.
then governor of the Cape Colony. is
sued proclamation denying the right
Of the Beers to form an independent
colony anywhere in Africa. The Beers
paid very little attention to this pro-
nunciamento, and nothing would have
come Of it had not the agents OF the
various chartered companies in London
discovered rich gold and diamond de-
posits in Natal. In 1912 British troops
were sent to invade the Boer strong
holds and Natal became q British col
ony. The Beers then began their Sec
ond 'trek," or move, and crossed the
Klipp river, fighting the Zulus all the
way, with the intention of occupying
the fertile tract lying between the
Klipp and Buffalo rivers. When the
British government became aware of
this intention, it proclaimed the Buffa-
10 river as the northern boundary OF
Natal.
For the third time the Beers moved
this time into the country bounded on
the east by the Drakensberg, on the
north by the Vaal, on the south by the
Orage and on the west by the Vaal-

and established the Orange Free State.
England, its eyes ever ON the main
chance-annexed the Orange Free State
in 1s4S; and the patient Beers began
their fourth move-across the Vaal
river, northward into what is now
known as the Transvaal.
The patience of the people was thor
oughly exhausted; and on June II, 1S4s.
the burghers stopped at Bloemfontein,
the capital of the Orange Free State.
and routed the British regulars. On
August %, of the same year. the Beers
were defeated by their enemies at
Boomplats, but only after . stubborn
fight. The exodus to the Transvaal
continued, but $4,000 Beers remained
In the Orange Free State to harass the
British soldiers and miness.
In 1850 the Kai1ir war broke out. The
English forces were too weak to cope
with this rebellion, and in order to pla-
cate the Beers. who were inclined to
side with the natives, the British gov
ernment Acknowledged the independ.
ence of the Orange Free State. But
this did not help the settlers in the
Transvaal whose political organisation
was recognized only after severe strug.

ANIMALS CAN COUNT.
The Horse, However, IL the Rest Cal.
culator Among Then, According
to an Old Observer.

An ornithologist, after many expert
ments ON parrots, holds that they can
count up to four. A Russian physician.
DIR. Timofeff, extended these expert
ments to birds, dogs, cats and horses.
He concludes that crows can count up
to ten, dogs to "a, cats only to six, but
horses carry off the palm as calcuiators.
In a village of the government OF Po-
kow, DR.. Timofeff stuffed horse be-
longing to peasant. ani found that the
horse always stopped at the end OF its
twentieth furrow. 1t did not stop when
tired, but only after every 20 burrows.
It was SO exact about this that its mas
ter reckoned the number OF burrows
that he had made by the number OF
times that the horse halted. The ami
NAL counted for the man. In another
village DIR. Timofieff saw horse that
calculated the versts (Russian miles)
by the number of posts on the road, and
the time by the striking of the clock.
Ono day this physician was going to
Valdai, when at the twenty-second
verst one of the horses hitched to the
troika "a three-horsed carriage) stop
ped suddenly. The driver got down
from his seat, gave. some proven
der to the horse and drove on. The
horse had been trained by its master
when very young to get food at every
.o5 xersts. There can be no doubt that
the horse kept count by the posts along
the road. 1t had made a mistake this
time of three versts. hut it was not its
fault. Along the road there were three
other posts besides the telegraph posts
which looked very much like them.
Hence the error of three versts.
This same horse was accustomed to
get its food in stable near which the
town clock rang at noon. DIR. Timofieh
himself saw the horse prick up its ears
and listen, but droop its head dissatis-
fed when less than 12 strokes sounded.
On the contrary, it manifested all kinds
OF satisfaction wlren it heard the
twelfth stroke of the bell, neighing for
its Drovender
