AS A LION HUNTER.
Mr.. Kruger related to me graphical
ly and briefly the history of the Beers
from the time they settled in Cape
Colony, from whence they were driven
out by the English, until they settled
in the Trsnsvsal. On this great trek
they killed 5000 lions, out of which
NUMBER Kruger himself killed 215.
They fought their way step by step I'M
til they finally reached the long ridge
known as the Witwatersrand, where
they settled, all unconscious of the
hidden wealth. st seemed SO
poor" said Mr.. Kruger,
not begrudge it.. So we established q
and laid the foundation for q nation.
We built towns, cultivated the soil, and
were making great progress n living
peacefully when gold was discovered.
Then new and perplexing questions
arose, and England Immediately be-
came avaricious, but we were not will
ing to give up the sweat of our brow,
and SO there was Majuba Hill. You
know about that?" Here Mr.. Kruger
blinked slyly and a laugh went around
among the Beers. $50, now" continu-
ed Dom Paul. taking up his pipe and
dropping into parallels. "the gold
fields are like a beautiful rich young
woman. Every body wants her, and
when they cannot get her they do not
sny one else to possess her."

mined the whole town. The Beers can
muster 30, 600 men. all we'll armed and
good marksmen. They have ware
houses full of ammunition, and could
undoubtedly, with their present de-
lenses and power to wreck johannes
burg and the mines, afford sufficient
menace to Great Britain to mako her

Mr.. Kruger is now 76 years old, and
has been elected to the presidency our
times. His salary is $50, 900 a year,
with $500 for coffee. This he drinks
black, and so hot that the burghers say
it will scald the hair off q dog. His
life has certainly been a remarkable
one, and at different stages he has

Kruger went across the hall into q low
