seemed to be regarded as nothing mora,
than an uproariously funny Joke, and the
London press bristled with gibes at the
president of the Transvaal and his sol-1
diers. The accompanying Illustration
for instance, shows one of the English
artist Forests cartoons Of Kruger,
representing him as Comply Doomp-
ty," the august parsonage who once
sat on a wall. Recent events have
somewhat dampened the righteousness
of the Britisher, however, and he has
come to have more respectful attitude
toward Dom Paul and his people. The
result is that the illustrated London
sweeklies now have fewer cartoons OF

TOMMY ATKINS AS A JOURNALIST.

MARK as the drama of war some-
times is, 1t has it's occasional light
sides. Tommy Atkins is not al
ways peppering away at Afridis and
Beers, and there are often days and
days when he finds himself with little
to do.
One Of the plans he has devised to
while away the hours and at the same
time to write war history at first hand
is the publication of the regimental
newspaper. Indeed there are very
few British regiments that have not

A goodly number of the poorer Beers
will be in sad plight when the pres
ent war is over. While they are fighting
against the British troops their farms
are becoming ruined through lack of
attention. Most of the Beers have had
to let their crops go to waste and to
sell what few cattle they possessed in
order to make provision for their wives
and families while they were fighting.

Mr.. Hartridge said there was one par
ticular piece of wit on the part of Mr..
Osborne, which he desired to reply to.
This was in reference TO the latter's state
ments concerning the grand jury of the
City Court. How Mr.. Osborne
could have made such a charge against
his fellow practitioner, as that any lawyer
doing his duty under oath would demand
a meeting of the grand jury and an in
dictment simply to secure fee from
negro client he was at loss 10 understand.
Mr.. Osborne had spent two years in the
Legislature and two in the Senate and
had made no effort 10 abolish the grand
jury of the City Court, he said. Anyone to
read Mr.. Osbone's statements would think
that he had never made use of the gr nj
jury of the City Court. An examination
of the court records showed that this
grand jury had met eight times in 1897 and
had returned $50 true bills, and yet Mr.,
Osborne says that 1t is useless insitu-
ton. IL also met several times in 1898
and returned a number of true bills, The
explanation of why Mr.. Osborne had made
little use of the City Court grand jury
since 1898 was not far to seek. In January,
1899, his friends, Messrs. Collins and Shelf
tail, gave up the offices which they had
held there, and Messrs. Russell and Whe-
Ian, who are political opponents of Mr. Os-
borne, succeeded them. Since their in
duction into office the grand jury has only.
met once. This, he thought, a very pscu-
liar state of affairs. AS evidence of he
need for a meeting of the grand jury of the
City Court he submitted statement from
Justice G. Noble Jones that out of seventy
six warrants turned over by him to the City
Court the records show that only three
have been inves tiga ted.
In reference to the policy lottery tickets
which he displayed Mr.. Hartridge said
that If Mr. Osborne wanted to indict the
people from whom they were bought he
would cheerlully furnish him the evidence.
"At the rate things are going now"
said Mr.. Hartridge, IT believe j will stop
this gambling business before 1 am elect
ed. Their sinews of war will then be cut
off The gamblers do not doubt my sim
cerity in this matter. They know that if
1 am elected public gambling will have
to go and when l say public gambling 1
do not an simply lottery and keno, but
faro, roulette, poker and the whole outfit.
That this is not a recent conclusion with
me / will appeal 10 Mr.. Charles J. O'Den,
whom I see in the audience, to know If
