Lord Roberts has again defeated
the Beers. This is the more inter
esting as the war was officially closed
by Lord Roberts some time ago. It
is to be noted also that the Beers
escaped and live to fight another
day. It is about time to hear from
General Macarthur, who also has
officially closed his war in the Phil
ippines, but occasionally reports a
more or less successful battle. The
Beers and the Filipinos are alike in
one respect, that they don't know
when they are beaten. They seem to
be alike in another respect also.
They want to have say in the gov
ernment of their own land. They are
equally unappreciative of the ad-
vantages of Anglo Saxon civilization,
and duty and destiny require, in
each case, that they be properly in
structed through the agency of rifle
balls. Shooting, unfortunately is a
game that two can play at, and both
the Beers and the Filipinos are MAX
ing it costly for their civilizers.
Among the uses of war in foreign
lands is an extended knowledge of
geography, and also the introduction
of new words into the English Ian
guage. In the old wars were grated
upon the Anglo-Saxon stem all of
it's Latin, and in later wars we got
Flucher and Wellington, a pattern

and now extensively used by all
armies as tropical dress The Chinese
war has not yet made it's contribu-
ton, but the Boer war has been
singularly fecund. Kopje is a good
rugged word that bids fair to enjoy
permanent favor, but one with the
finest shades of meaning and widest
use is commander" an active,
aggressive verb suggesting stretch
ing of authority to perform an illegal
act. An illustration of it's effective
use can be had in the Third Con-
gressional district, of this State,
where the ring scommandeered"
the honest vote of the people. The
word can easily become an accepted
euphemism for things hitherto called
by harsher names.

you staggered blindiy, with your
heart breaking behind triple
barred gates of grief against
which you beat as helpless as d
broken-winged bird upon the
black front of storm, and all
the joys of life closed from you,
when there came to you some
lover of kindness whose whisper
lifted you in love and placed you
in sunny and smiling garden of
happinessp Haven't you felt that
all of life that was dear had pass
ed from you never to return.
when suddenly one word en-
wrapped you in the glorious
folds of superlative human bliss?
Ah, my beloved, there was
somebody good to somebody
and somebody learned anew that
the most precious treasures of
this life are words of loving
kindness.
''Kind words are more than

SO simple Of speech that they
