"B0bs', Wrote TO the Lad Himself.

Cape Town Letter to the London Telegraph.
The marvellous way in which Lord Rob
erts finds time personally TO attend to the
smallest details and to do so with unfail-
irg kindness of heart is we'll shown by
this instance:
At Seymour, a small town in the East
ern province, there resides Mr.. Smit, who
has two sons serving with our forces as
volunteers-one at MOdder River and the
other on the lines of communication. A
third son was last heard of at BlOemfon-
tein. The sixth and youngest boy has
reached the martial age of fourteen, and
three weeks ago he beSought permission
of his father and mother to go also to the
front II was, of course, refused. Within
the last few days the father has received
a letter addressed to mis- youngest son,
Douglas Laing Smit. 1t was from Lord
Roberts. 1t appears that when the pa
rents refused to allow their son to become
warrior at fourteen, he addressed an
artless letter TO the field marshal, TO this
effect:
Il want to go and fight. am fourteen
years of age. My parents won't let me.
Please write and use your influence with
them to let me go"
Lord Roberts did write, and this was
his-reply:

he pointed out that actually Within i"
miles of Juna. on the Southern Paclhc
Railroad. there Is an island inhabited by
2 tribe of savages as treacherous and
bloodthirsty as any that have existed On
the earth.
A little above the midway line in the
Gulf of California, close in to the Sonora
shore. lies the island of Tiburon. COM
pact body OF land about twenty miles IN
length and fifteen across at its broadest
part. To an observer from sale as
lance, the low shore line presents a
thickly wooded appearance, with hlgn
mountains in the interior. though oey0hu
the fact that ii Is inhabited by saVaSes
who are cannibals, little further Is known
From time 10 time few sailors VINO
have had the misfortune to be wrecked
on the island. and the good fortune TO
escape, have reported that upon reaching
the shore they were decoyed inland by
natives. who spoke an unknown language,
when their companions were killed and
eaten. That there is probable tr-th In
this assertion is borne out by the sdrvl-
yors of the expedition sent out two or
three years ago by Jesse Grant. of San
Diego TO prospect the island, when some
members of the party VINO had yentured
into the interior never returned and the
remainder were obliged TO sail hurriedly
Oh account of the threatening attitude of
the natives. So fierce. indeed, has become
the reputation of these Tiburon islanders,
that the Mexican soldiers are much ad-
verse to being sent upon expeditions TO
punish their depredations upon the main
land, to which they appear to resort for
the purpose of obtaining wives. much
after the way in which the Romans first
obtained theirs from the Sabines.
Many theories have been put forth as
TO the origin of this tribe. very probable
one being that they are lineal descendants
of the Aztecs, driven TO this island re-
treat by the Spaniards under CorteZ;
where. rumOr further adds, they still prac
tice many of the strange rites Of that
conquered people. 1t is possible, also.
they may be akin to the YaquiS. with
whom the MeXicanS seem now to be en-
gagged in a desperate conflict.
To the man in search of adventure,
Tiburon Island offers an unknown field
comparatively close TO the borders of the
United States, where he may test his
powers of courage and endurance to the
utmost.

TIE WHiSTlING Boy,

A merchant went in the sumner time
To pleasant, peaceful. pastoral cline
Where tie roadways ribbOned the acres throrgk
And the fruit OF the farmers labors grew.
He walked along where the hidden eheirs
Tossed plaintiye notes 10 the vibrant wires
or Zepherus that caught the thrill
And flashed its sweets o er grove and hill.
His senses woke 10 a measure new.
A hslowing peace did his mind imbue:
And he paused as he felt its benehce
Like a spirit passed 10 the realms o., bliss
As there he stood in the powered way.
He caught the notes OF a happier lay
That came from lad in the corn held vide
Who whstled the while his hoe be piled.
He watched the boy from hill 10 hill
He swung the hoe with a sturdy Will,
And the harder he worked Inc fuller vent
He gave to his lips accompaniment.
''Ah there" said the merchant, by impulse tscs
as son Of whom work makes glsdr'
Then he went to the boy in tattered blouse
And engaged him to work IN his counting house
The youth took hold with industry grim
But he brought his whistle along with hin.
And in Just two days its charm gave Ger,
And the whistler was kicked through the once door
