MIR. HARRY S0THERN.

If you had asked Mir Harry Sothern why he was spending his vacation at Port Natal, South Africa, he would have gravely told you that the Ken lucky Summer climate did not suit his health because it was too hot, and you might have suspected that the Colonel was guying you, and you would prob ably have been right. Nevertheless the Colonel would have been telling you the exact truth. Kentucky had be- come too warm for him. The immedi- ate cause of this warmth in his old home was slight disagreement with another gentleman during q game of cards, in the course of which he had been forced to use his pistol in order that the other gentleman might not use his. The other gentleman happened to be an EX-Congressman, q man of National reputation, of one of the first families or Kentucky. The EX-Con- gressman's son, received q Sothern bullet through his pistol arm. Mr. Sothern felt that the people, with that imperfect reasoning for which he had no use, blamed him for the occurrence, and knowing people as we'll as he did, he knew that their blame would take the tangible form of a lynehing. He did not stop to argue the natter but left for parts unknown until the people should have time to reflect
 Mir Sothern had had the good luck to come out in q steamer chartered by the British Government for the transporta- tion of supplies to Africa. On the way out he had cultivated the acquaintance of the officer in charge with m assidu- ity that can be appreciated only by those who have made q long voyage in a supply ship. At first the gentleman, a lieutenant in her Majesty's service, did not respond cordially to these ad- yances. He had sized up Mir. Sothern at his first appearance as missionary. He changed his mind few days later. He was practicing with his pistol at the time with indifferent success. Harry Sothern, who had been watch ing him, suggested that his aim was too deliberate. The lieutenant turned quickly and handed the revolver to his critic, who showed him how it ought to be done. When they reached Natal the lieutenant introduced him to the people whom it was desirable for him to know. Just at this time the Mat tabele war was "ons After weeks of waiting he got his permit to join bullock train which was on the way to the front where the fighting was going on.
 The main division of the British South African corps had just defeated a division of the Matabele army at Kraal, and had set fire to the villages around the place. Captain Williams. with about thirty-five men, while pur- suing the enemy, was led into an am- bush and found himself cut off from all chances of escape in small plain sur rounded by foothills fairly swarming with the enemy. There was absolutely no chance for him. The pass by which they had entered was already occupied by the enemy. There was nothing to do but wait for help or annihilation. He t1ismounted his men in the middle of the plain among elump of bushes and small trees. The natives circled around out of range, indulging in what seemed to be war dance.

Harry S0theIn, "l ID going into the un- dertaking business. There seems to be q good field for it here.
 An old sergeant near by replied: "Oh, no, you're not. When you get out of this you're going to heaven, if you're been a good boy. If these devils leave enough of you, you'll be a fit subject for undertaking yourselfo
 Harry did not reply. He had taken off his coat and was rolling it up to put under the head of q young ensign who had been wounded as they entered the pass, and whom Sothern. amid a shower of assegais and bullets, had thrown across his saddle and had then galloped after the rest. He could see now that the boy was dying and 1t gave him great throb of pity and of rage against those who had done it. He wondered if the boy knew his con- dition.
 \ few minutes later the young sol- dier was dead. Harry gently laid the boys head back upon the ground, and then picked up his Winchester with an oath. The natives were advancing all around them with continuous shout ing and beating of shields The Brit ish soldiers were picking off the Mat ahele warriors with certainty aud precision that nothing could withstand The natives broke and fled. With q ringing cheer the men sprang to their feet and fired and cheered together Harry Sothern staggered back with q bullet in his thigh.
 Captain Williams helped his men '. spot, behind trees. Harry objected to the arrangement for himself. saying Don't bother about moving me back Just turn me over so l can shoot I've got an engagement to kill half dozen niggers yet
 The captain laughed Then turning to his men, and for the first time in his life speaking to them as equals, he said: Gentlemen, let's sing God Save the Queen
 Harry leaned back on his elbow and watched them with an amused smile. He had seen a good many men die in one way and another. But he had never seen men take it just like this before.
 Across the valley to the savages who were waiting like vultures for their prey there fioated the sound of the Ma tional song from the threats of men who knew they would never sing it again. X Matabele chief, who was captured a few weeks later, says that the 6,000 savages stood awe bound for a moment before the handful of men who were teaching them so easily how not to be afraid of death. He says that as they came across the valley for the attack he could see a man in epau- lettes tthe captain evidently taking the loaded rifle from a wounded sol. dier who was lying beside him lead ing them as fast as the captain emnied them. And he saw, too, q man in civil ian's cIothes-the same man who had jumped off his horse to pick up a wounded man as they entered the val ley-lying on his face and firing very rapidly. And every time he fired say age fell dead. Soon the crack-crack of the Winchester ceased, and there was nothing left to show for the sn. periority of the Anglo Saxon race hnt q hundred Matabele warriors who fail. ed to 5cin in the war dance that fol. lowed.

sherman's Ample Supply of Whisky.
 George A.Shertdan, after one of his campaigning tours in Ohio, told a story of his experience with John Sherman. We had been making speeches at Xenia one wet, cold night, said Sheri- dan, and on our way back to the hotel Senator sherman said: Sheridan, I be- lieve 8 little wbiskey is a necessity for us to prevent contracting colds. It is almost needless to say that I agreed with him and expressed my regret that l had none with me. Don't worry about that, said the senator, I have an am- pie supply. We will go to my room and get it. We went to Senator Sher- mans room and he produced from his yalise a four-ounce vial oi whtskey and B teaspoon. Pouring out teaspoonful he handed it over to me to take it. as he had no doubt I needed it. After I had induiged in one spoonful Sherman took a spoonful himself, recorked the little bottle and returned it to his galise. Surely, there is one man who considers whiskey medicine and not 2 beverage"

Train Stopped by Insects.

4 peculiar incident occurred a short time ago to a Scotch express, which really caps the story of the mouse which got into the brake apparatus of train and soon brought it to a com plete standstill.
 While on a steep incline a mile or so from Invershin, the train suddenly slowed IT. ard eventually stopped. Af- ter an examination it transpired that myriads of midges had been swarming near the ground, and being crushed by the wheels of the train, had left the rails ln a very slimy condition, pre- venting the engine from gripping the rails. and so stopping it. Although several dodges were tried, among them that of throwing earth along the line, the train was unable to proceed until it was divided into sections and drawn up the incline piecemeaL This incl dent caused delay of nearly an hour.
