left the plantation in very bad shape so far as Buster John and Sweetest Susan were concerned. Something was wanting; the place wasn't the same. The silence that fell upon everything when the army clink-clanked out of hearing, was some- thing terrible The horses and mules stood under the big shed and shivered dumbly; the cattle huddled together on the west ern side of the gin house, for the wind was from the east, and blowing with pene- trating moisture that Was more than cold.
 There was no gossip among these ani- n.als that people think are dumb They had been badly frightened by the hurly- burly that beset them; they might talk about it after awhile when the sun shone out, or when the grass came; but, mean time, the east wind was blowing, and no matter how intelligent animal may be, he can never tell what that wind will bring after it has begun to blow. Now the grass eating animals know very well when storm is coming. The nesh-eaters merely grow frisky and have frolic; but the e-rass-eaters make for shelter, and if they have a home to go to, they go there; but the east wind-well, that is their problem, as it was Aaron's, only the son of Ben Ali never allowed it to blow on the back Of his neck, so that when other people were going about complaining Of rheumatism or neu- ralgia or were in bed with pleurisy or
 
 pneumonia, the son of Ben Ali was usually on his feet and in fairly good health.
 Well, on this remarkable day, the ani- mals in the horse lot and in the pasture, were quiet and morose. They had been shaken up in the first place with their strange experiences, having been driven helter-skelter two or three miles from home in the wind and mist, and helter- skelter back again, with drums beating and bugles blowing, and nobody to explain 1t all Old June, the milch COW, thought she had lost her calf, but after while she felt it running along by her side, and 1t was standing under her now shiVerinS, shaky, shaggy thing that looked more ike a ba-ba- -black-sheep than a respectable calf.
 Anyhow, they all stood on the sheltered side of the gin house, and were very quiet as the steam rose from their backs, and the fog issued from their nostrils. They were not in playful mood there was nothing about them to interest Buster John and Sweetest Susan, when later in the day these young adventurers paid them visit of inspection Old June moaned at them in

 "Why, of course not, exclaimed Buster John; "Aaron can't do everything"
 "Where is Simon and Johnny Babter?" the little girl asked
 Sure enough, where were they? Where were all the men and women and boys and girls, who used to make the negro quarters gay with laughter? Where was old Foun- tain? Yes, and where was Drusilla? This was the kind of a day when there should be a fire blazing on~-the hearth of every cabin, if only to keep out the dampness, but smoke was coming out of only one chimney, and even that was not a free and friendly smoke. It was a thin, waverng ribbon of blue. hardly visible until the wind seized 1t and tore it to tatters.

The Fraternai Union Of America.
This order, now being organised In
Pullman, IL recognized 90 the strongest
development Of the day along fraisrnal
benefit lines. Its plans are modera and
the very best that can be devised. II
protects itstlf as well as its members, and
thus becomes great permanent institu-
ton. 1t has met with singular success
and its growth is attracting the atten ton
OF the entire fraternal world. This is not
surprising when its superior plan 10 fully
understood plan which is not only en-
dorsed by the leading fraternal order men
and insurance journals Throughout the
United States. An insurance.for which
it is not necessary "to die to win" ia ex-
ceedingly popular, and the fact that both
sexes are admitted on equal terms, wins
thousands of friends for this great frater.
nifty. Az a guarantee of the permanency
and solidity OF this order it may be men
| toned that it Is q member OF both the
National Fraterntl Congress and the
American Fraternal Congress. These
two great bodies are composed of forty
two OF the leading lodges of the United
States and no order ia admitted unless
its standing is eilt-edge. Much could be
said about the benefits OF the Fraternal
Union of America, but space forbids 60
ing into detail. Its most important fea-
lures are as follows: death Benefits.
In case of death, 5000. 81, 200 or s., 400.
2-An Immediate Funeral Benefit:
Fifty dollars on each 5000 of the certif-
cate is paid Immediately on receiving no.
tice OF death, without waiting for the u.s.
ual formalities.
3-Total Disability Benefits:
One half of the face of the certificate is
paid in cash, il member becomes total
ly disabled from disease or accident.
Accident Benefits:
Accident benefits are paid to members
at the rate of $500 per week, for each
81 200 OF the certificate.
Sin Force When Sick:
member cannot be suspended whom
sick or disabled, and is kept il good
standing for two months in any year, if
out Of employment.
6-Sick Benefit Fund:
The local lodge provides sick benefit
fund of.from $500 to $500 per week.
IA Time to Quit Paying and Cash Re-
turned:
/ When member has reached his ex-
pectancy of life according to the Alneri-
can tables OF mortality, he receives one
half of the amount Ct his certificate and
paid up policy Tor the remainder.
This is one OF the great features of the
Fratcrnal Union and one that is fair and
business-like. There are no death asses
ments Or anything Of the Kind to pay, AS
each member pays for his own insurance
and no one elses. The order simply has
a contract with each member agreeing to
insure him or her for about $3.50. 90 per
$l,C00.0O payable monthly, and allows
about 30 years to pay it in.
W. G. Emery, Deputy Sup. Pres. of
the order, makes his headquarters at tho
HERALD office and will be pleased to give
full particulars to anyone interested.

had been compelled to increase the
British garrison in Cape Colony and
Natal, entailing an additional expendi-
ture of fJO0,O0O annually.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the Government
had tried to establ friendly relations
with President Kruger, but all their adj
yances had been received with con-
tempt. He then proceeded to eulogize
Sir Alfred Miner, Governor of Cape
Colony. and British High Commits
sioner for South Africa.
The Government accepted full re-
sponsibility for the actions of that Of
fetal. AS for the counter proposals of
Mr.. Kruger, they did not constitute
even a fair installment of reform.
After denouncing in the strongest
terms the attitude and actions of the
Beers, Mr. Chamberlain with great de-
liberation and emphasis added:
The TransvaaPs enormous secret
service fund has procured it friends
and advocates in every country. The
way the British subject there is treated
is not only menace to them but in
terferes with our prestige among the
natives who now regard the Beers and
not the British as the paramount
power.
Besides the breaches of the London
convention, the Transvaal is fiagrantly
violating the equality that convention
was intended to secure.
Its misgovernment is a fostering
sore, poisoning the whole atmosphere
of South Africa The Dutch in Cape
Colony and Natal would be in the hap
piest condition, but so long as the dis
ease of hatred and suspicion prevails
in the Transvaal, it is impossible to
stop the contagion
-Four times since independence was
granted we have been on the verge of
war with the Transvaal It is erro-
neous to say the British Government
wants war; but it is equally erroneous
to say the Government will draw back,
now that it has put its hand to the
pillow.
I'VE hope the efforts that are now
being made will lead to an amicable
arrangement, for Great Britain only
desires justice, but there comes time
when patience can hardly be distin-
guished from weakness, and when
moral pressure becomes a farce that
cannot be continued without loss of self
respect. I trust that time may never
come in this instance, but if it does,
BritonS will insist upon the means to
find result essential to the peace of
South Africa"
The speech was warmly applauded.
In reply to vote of thanks Mr.. Cham
berlain said he felt strengthened and
encouraged by this confidence and sup
port. He had spoken from the heart
because he believed they had reached
critical turning point in the history
of the empire and that the whole world
was watching to see how they would
issue from the difficulty.
1T is my belief" said he, in closing,
that the country will show itself not
unworthy of its glorious history and
traditions"
