Paul Kruger was born on the veldt
in 1925, and is now nearly 10 years old.
He is not a Dutchman in name. His
grandfather, the first Kruger in South
Africa, was a German. His father
fought against the British at Boom
platz in 1S4S. His hatred of England is
legacy. All his life he has been a
warrior, and to-day much prefers the
arbitrament of force to the refinements
of diplomacy, though a shrewder diplo-
mat never lived. When Jameson
dashed across the border in 1896 the old
president was delighted. Though then

In the 18th century English naViga-
tors touched at the Cape of Good Hope
but the Boer was in reality the first
white man to conquer the land. They
drove the Zulus from the fertile valleys
and uplands and took possession of the
soil in precisely the same manner as
our fOrefatheTs of the Mayflower gained
possession of New England. The Boer
not England, was the pioneer and by
right of conquest was master of South
ern Africa many years before England
cast enViOus eyes upon it.
Until the beginning of the 9th century
the Boer remained in possession of the
land he had won from savagery. His
occupation was that of a cattle raiser

West the uncertainty Of the where
abouts of Cervera had disturbed the
peace of mind of landsmen and sea-
men. But the worthy admiral kindly
bottled himself up in Santiago and the
citizens got ready for their Fourth of
July celebration with some satisfac-
ton. 1t wanted the battle of July 8,
however, to put the climax of glory to
the brilliant victories of the war That
victory outside Santiago came so OPP
rortunely for the annual celebration on
the following day, it was so clearly the
beginning of the end for Spain; it set
tied the Cervera scare for good and all
and showed conclusively that, compar-
ing a Spaniard with an American, the
rate of exchange should be one Ameri-
can for six or more Spaniards.
SO the last Fourth of July dawned
bright and promising for Uncle Sam,
but the war was not yet over and In
dependence day was celebrated by
nation, victorious it was true, but still
with the blessings of peace a future
possibility and not a present assur
ance. This Fourth of July will be re-
membered more gloriously festive by
the fact that victory and peace are
both ours so far as Spain is concerned.
and as for the little war in the far East
it is too small and distant to cast even
a suggestion of a damper on the cele-
bration. The fireworks this Fourth can
burst and blaze and sputter more joy
ously and obtrusively than ever: the
cheering multtudes who are privi
legged to call themselves part of the
greatest nation on earth need spare no
effort to swell the mighty note that will
cross from North to South and East to

bang and boom their best for Uncle
Sam never in all its glorious life had
better reason to celebrate the Fourth
with a humming hOoroor than he has
in this year of grace 1899, the last year
of a, TO him, magnificent century.

Fourth in Libby, 1868

pleasant Fourth of July / have known

in 1863.

New York Tribune, l had been cap
tured while trying to run the batteries

How well / recall that Fourth! l was

horrid place, excessively hot, the air

how / breathed it without asphyXia.
Our sole food-it was the best they had,
the authorities said--was half spoiled
bacon and wretched corn bread, yet we
managed to swallow it, we were so des-
perately hungry. We slept on the floor
or on rough boards, and we lived
that 1t, kept health IN our bodies
buoyed up by the hope of getting out.
We talked in the morning of 'cele-
brating the day." but how could we
with nothing to eat and nothing to
drink save very warm hydrant water
that came from the turbid James river?
So with empty stomachs and so1ied
hands and faces-it was impossible to
be clean there-we thought we would
celebrate orally-that is, by talking pa
triotism even more than usual, which
was certainly difficult Consequently
we got together in groups and narrated
to one another the most exciting eX-
periences that each of us had in the
field. Many of the narratives were very
interesting, coming as they did from
the actors themselves. If they could
have been taken down as they fell from
our lips, they would be impressive read
ing even at this late day. The officers
warmed with their subjects, living over
again the scenes they had recounted.
