Rudyard Kipling has not found
many themes for his muse in South
Africa, but he has written one poem,
that on General Joubert, which rings
with some of the anthem notes Of the
Recessional. Harper's Weekly obtain
ed the whole text by cable, which is as
follows:
With those that bred, with those that
loosed, the strife
He had no part whose hands were clean
of gain:
But. subtle. strong. and stubborn, gave
To a lost cause. and knew the gift was
vain.
Later shall rise a people zane and great,
Forged in strong fires, by equal war
made one,
Telling old battles over without hate
Noblest his name shall pass from sire
to son.
He shall not meet the onsweep of our
In the doomed city where we close the
score;
We. DER his grave that holds a man
Our deep-tongued guns shall answer his
once more.
The gift of patriotic verse cannot be
loaned to a better mind than that
which uses 1t for subduing the rage
and assuaging the hatreds of war.
Kipling's poem Is the first olive branch
from British hands Well for the fu-
ture of South Africa If it shall not be

Solomon In Turk v.

solomon IN TURK y.
The other day witnessed an anus
ing instance of Turkish police justice.
An Armenian and a Kurd had quarrel
led over the ownership of tobacco
box. AS their language grew more ex-
pressive and their speech louder a
crowd collected, delighted with the dis
pute. The Kurd had picked up the box
in the street and the Armenian declar-
ed 1t was his. When they were about
to come to blows a policeman came up
and tried to effect a oIAoromise, but
neither disputant would give way. At
last the Armenian suggested that the
Kurd should be asked to declare what
was in the box. The Kurd promptly
answered Tobacco and cigarette pa
per-" The Armenian smilingly inform
ed the officer that all the box contained
was 25 cent piece. The policeman
gravely opened the mysterious case,
then, turning to the crowd with the air
of Solomon, said: THE Armenian is
the owner of the box. 1 return it to
him. The Kurd is a liar. Here he
smote the man from the mountains
over the head.] Allah be praised!

BAD COUNSEL FOR NATIVES.

Hawaii for the Hawaiians'' is a
phrase which the Independent Is using
to infuse the natives with a desire for
separate political action; but the effect
OF it is bound to do them an injury in
proportion to the zeal with which the
natives pursue the objects 1t reveals. 1t
is all very grand and heroic to talk
about a Hawaiian National Party
which shall ignore both Republicans
and Democrats, and fight for old re-
venges, yet the veriest tyro in Ameri-
can politics ought to know that such
course would ruin the interests of
the native people by exposing them to
The united enmity Of both political
parties and Of the law-making power
which those parties control. Given a
party here opposed to Republicanism
and Democracy and Congress must
soon agree to a measure depriving 1t OF
all political power 1t would have no
friends anywhere.
The two great parties are now seek
ing native aid. If they get 1t each
will see that the native is at least let
alone. If they do not ger IT,
on the other hand, and find instead
that the natives obstruct American
politics, then the effort will be to re-
move the obstruction.
There is no room anywhere in Amer
lean politics for anti-Americanism
That is truth Hawaiians had better
learn cheapiy now to escape learning
1t dearly by and by. 1t is as absurd
Tor people to say that Hawaii is for
Hawaiians as to say that New York
is for New Workers or California for
Californians. Every part of the
United States is, politically speaking.
for Americans alike and any attempt
to set up narrower or less patriotic
rule must end in disaster to those at
tempting 1t.
The advice Of the Independent is that
OF blind leader of the blind Think
Of counseling natives to stand aloof
from the American parties because
those parties may not last, as 1t does
in this paragraph:
There Is far too much work to be done
In placing our own houses in order be-
lore we attempt to ally ourselves with
mainland parties, which with evolution
airy modern processes may have been
swept away before We are entitled to
think of statehood.
Does not the Independent know that
the Democratic party having lived since
the time Of the third President and
that the Republican party, organized
first as Federalist by Alexander Ham
ilton, later as Wing by men of the type
OF Daniel Webster and finally as Re-
publican by Fremont and Lincoln In
1896 are no more likely to be swept
away than are the Conservative and
Liberal parties Of Great Britain? They
represent fundamental views of Gov
eminent and will continue to represent
them while such views survive. One

Societies Rights QUESTION: d.

There are five suits pending in Gin
cinnati to test the right of arrest as it
is claimed by the various Humane So
cieties. The suits take the form of an
plication for writs of habeas corpus.
and the petitioners are all employees
of certain transfer company who
were arrested at the instigation of an
agent Of the Ohio Humane Society.
The plea is made that the prosecution
was not instituted by the state and
that therefore the action of the So
ciety is IAN Illegal usurpation and an
attempt to cause the justice to impose
fines to be paid into the private Golfers
OF the society, and by it distributed
among its members and officers" In a
word, it is claimed that the action was
a conspiracy to take private property
for private use and that the statutes
under which it proceeded are unconsti-
tutional and void, not only under the
state, but also under the federal con-
stitution. In view of this latter claim
the cases have assumed an interest
rather more than local.

Too Lnte Now.


Persons going to Cape Nome when
navigation opens will be losing their
time remarked a man the other day,
who had recently come from there.
The claims will all be taken Three
thousand people have been there all
winter, and have picked up all that
there is. The persons going there in
the hope of locating claims will be
sadly left. Cape Nome City will have a
population Of from 10000 to 100, 900 in a
year. But the poor man who has a
claim there stands just as good a
chance as the man with millions. There
are claims that cannot be worked by
a man without money. These will be
taken by the big fellows. The claims
that can be worked for comparatively
little will be taken by the poor man.
The outlook is good only for those who
have claims to work"

Begging Pays Well,

How TO Climb II Skyscraper

Professor Herschel c. Parker, of Col
umbia university, who is an enthusias
tic. mountain climber, has been telling
how he might climb up the face of the
Syndicate building, in Park row, which
is thirty stories from ground to roof
and is the highest building In New
York. The professor says he would
not care to do it, but explains how it
could be done. Much Of the climb
would be by way of two-inch indenta-
lions in the corner of the structure
hanging on by fingers and toes, while
at other stages of the journey the
climber would have to draw himself
upward by an Alpenstock. with the
hook catching on window stills overhead
AS for the protecting shelf all around
the edifice, at the very top. some 500
feet or so above the sidewalk, the pro-
lessor says that one would have to
swing himself over it by ropes or
chains, with the legs dangling in space.

MaCar0ni Wheat.

The Department of Agriculture
has been collecting considerable
"macaroni" wheat seed, and will
be prepared little later to fur
nish trial lots of it to those farming
sections where it is desired to test
the practicability of raising it. A
large number of reports have been
received by the State Department
relative to the growing of this
class of wheat in European coun-
tries, and the Secretary of Agri-
culture feels certain that such a
wheat can be grown very profit
ably in the United States. Not
only this, but if it can, the result
will be that factories will be start
ed to manufacture it into macaroni,
etc. Assurance has been given
the Secretary that if the wheat can
be raised the macaroni can be
manufactured. The principal re-
quisite for a macaroni wheat is
great hardness or flintiness.

FOR THE FARMER,
Keep off Flies.

In the midst of the fly season
owners of live stock will be in
terested in the method successful
ly pursued by DR.. A. T. Peters,
veterinarian at the Nebraska Elk
pertinent Station, for combating
this pest He took an ordinary
oil barrel and put into it a wooden
spigot, using the barrel as a stor-
age tank. Two and half gallons
of zenoleum, with FIVE gallons of
cotton seed oil, were then placed
in the barrel and enough water
added to fill it. AS required the
mixture thus formed was drawn
from the barrel and sprayed upon
cattle and horses, or applied with
a sponge or cloth as the occasion
demanded. The control of the
flies was not only quite perfect,
but it had one marked advantage
not possessed by most other mix
lures for the purpose, in that the
solution was not greasy and
sticky, but left the coat of the ami
mails in fine condition. The mix
ture has the further advantage of
being very economical one, a
barrel of it being compounded at
very small cost.

than that which the same COW

MANAGEMENT of Strawberries,

In strawberry culture runners
that reach beyond a reasonable
limit should be cut off. Cultivation
at least once week and after
each rain or irrigation and utter
examination of weeds is necessary
to success. If the ground has
been kept free from weeds the
previous year the weed killing
will be a much easier job. Rows
must not be ridged up too high
when cultivated. In irrlgating
run the water between the rows
and use plenty of it. There is no
danger of cold water from a well
injuring the plants if run between
the rows or even if run on the
plants. In the latter part of No
vember cover the plants with
mulch1ng or lnCneS deep, using
wild hay, alfalfa or straw. Care
fully avoid any wild hay that has
seeded grasses in it. Manure and
even dry earth is oftentimes used
in this country. This mulching of
the plant Is very necessary to pre-
vent the frequent thawing and
freezing of the fruit buds during
Winter. In the Spring when the
plants begin to grow the mulching
should be raked in the space be-
tween the rows to remain there
until after the berries are picked.

Feeding Peach Trees.

Peaches demand an abundant
supply of soluble nutriment, and
fail quickly when it is exhausted,
but on the other hand, recuperate
with great promptness when the
proper conditions are restored.
Practical fruit-growers are expect
ed to know how to feed their trees,
but many amateurs do not seem to
realize what gross feeders peach
trees are, and attribute their yell
low foliage and forlorn appearance
to disease and parasites, when the
application of liquid household
wastes would soon restore them to
vigor and productiveness. Finely
ground bone and wood ashes are
always acceptable to supplement
the liquid fertilizers, and may be
applied separately at any time
during the growing season.
