Play Real Mean Tricks on the Guile-
less BritOn.

Philadelphia Times.
| 1t really Is too bad of the Beers to treat
the British so discourteously An English
military man is such guileless person that
he should command especial consideration.
A small detachment is sent off into a noun
| tain dehle, far from the main body, and
when the enemy is so impolite as to get
| around in Its rear and cut 1t off, everybody
in England is shocked at the burgher du
plicity.
The bad manners OF the Beers are illus
trated also in General Joubert's conduct be-
fore Ladysmith, where he allowed British
| force to march between two divisions Of his
| army and never warned them off till they
found themselves attacked upon both fianks.
Still worse, he is now firing shot and shell
into the British lines a proceeding which
London regards as clearly contrary to the
laws of war The Beers ought not to shoot Il;
they ought only to stand still and be shot
at.
The worst discourtesy of all of which the
Beers have been guilty was to obstruct the
railway track leading out from Estcourt to
the region which they occupy, The con-
fiding British sent out a train on this line
the other day. 1t was an armored train and
the soldiers In 1t were expected to shoot, not
10 De snot at' we may Judge or their sur
prise and disgust when the train ran of
the track and they were compelled to de-
fend themselves from the enemy. This Is
most discourteous conduct on the part OF the
Beers and shows how little appreciation
they have OF the amenities OF civilized life.
Some of the men who went out on the
train did not get back. Instead of allow
ing them free passage, the rude Beers have
actually held them as prisoners of war. And
among them was young man of one Of the
best families, regarding whom there is some
doubt whether he vac there as a soldier or
as a civilian, though there appears to be no
doubt that he put up good fight. That he
has fallen into the hands of an enemy so
ignorant OF the laws OF war as not to allow
an armored train to pass without hindrance
gives his friends at hcme great uneasiness
We cannot tell whether the duplcity OF
the Beers has seandalzed the officers and
men in the field as much as it has the
London newspapers. but they do appear to
be OF wonderfully confiding disposition. It
is good rule in warfare TO start with the
assumption that the enemy is at least as
smart as you are. The British campaign has
started on the apparent assumption that the
Beers were ignorant of warfare and would
run away as soon as they saw a redcoat In
the distance That is doubtless what they
should have done, but they haven't. And
this is the only foundation for the charge
that the Beers are not nghting fair.

According TO the best information the
Boer army at its maximum did not ex-
ceed $4,000 men, The press reports from
the vicinity of Ladysmth, Kimberley
and other places where war operations
are active indicate there have already
been killed at least 10000. As there is
still numerous army surrounding these
various places the Boer must have a
faculty of rapid relncarnation.

The Ohio idea of requiring candidates
to file sworn statements of election eX-
penses, which was grated upon the Ne
braska statutes last winter, is pro-
nounced dead letter in the Buckeye
state and it's repeal is predicted during
the coming winter. In Ohio, as in Ne.
braska, only the successful candidates
heed the law because they fear that the
opposition might bring suit to ousr
them. Defeated candidates pay little or
no attention to it. In the preliminary
democratic gubernatorial fight IN ohio
Colonel Kilbourne was a candidate, but
he refused to file any statement and no
one cared enough to prosecute him.
Mclean did file statement because he
did not want his nomination questioned,
but Mclean has filed no statement of
expenses during the recent campaign.
In Ohio candidates for governor are linn
tied to $3.50 in their expenditures. Nc
Lean spent $500, according to his filed
statement, TO get the nomination. He
therefore could legally spend only $50
more during the campaign. 1t goes
without saying that he spent fully
$4,000 in the campaign and 100000
would probably be nearer the correct
figure.

The drug trust has entered its decree
in Omaha and notice is given to dealers
in patent nostrums that if they persist
in selling at cut-rate prices the source
of supply will be stopped by way of
penalty. If this is not n combnati ton
in restraint of trade there never was
one, The action is clearly in violation
of Nebraska statutes. A copy of the
notice served upon dealers ought to sub
ject the author to severe penalties. Leu

tion is over and few votes will he lost
by his making an example of the drug
trust or pool or combination.

Aguinaldo is a buffer, but he can write

worthy of Swinburne. When we catch him

the patent office, or in some other govern

Since vertical writing has been adopted
in schools 81 has been considered neces-
sary by some to use a very sim and
hard pen. and nearly an the pen makers
recommend pens OF this heavy and UNI
yielding description. II IS an error, how
ever TO make them too stin, for SUM-
cient action and fleXibnity are the es-
sential qualities Of perfect pen. IL is
well known that many persons have a
tendency 10 grip the holder and press TOO
hard with the pen. This habit can only
be overcome by using one made with
some degree of neXibility and hneness
OF point. which compels a lightness Of
touch. and helps toward a graQAful and
gliding motion. Pens made WrOperB
will be found to write smoothly, and are
suitable either for the vertical or ordi
nary slanting writing.
The Spencerian Vertical Pens No. 81
carry out these ideas and possess thi:
smo0thness of action and well tempered
drmness. together with the well known
superiority in finish OF the spenceriar
