KILLED BY A DEAD MAN.
\ BoER SOLDIERS EXPERIENCE

BOEB SOLDIERS EXPERIENCE ON SPION KOP.
\. c.. Hales, in The London News.
So our dead lay. and grinned at those other
dead, and the fierce dried flesh and blood
on BTitOn and on Boer. for both remained Un-
buried for a while; and so il came TO pass that
a BOer commando TetOOk the lines where those
who died for us were lying, and as they marched
among our dead they saw a sergeant lying at
full length shot through the brain. yet even in
death the man looked like some fighting
chine suddenly gone out of order His rifle
pressed against his shoulder. his left hand
grasped the barrel on the under side. the fore
fingers Of the right hand pressed the trigger
lightly, the barrel rested out upon a rock and
his death duled eye still glaTed along the sights.
for dissolution had come TO him just he bent
his head to fire at those who shot him. and
now his hands had stiffehed in the unbendable
stiffness of eternal sleep. BOer soldier saw
the sergeant as he lay and with rude hands
grasped the rifle by the barrel and tried to jerk
1t from the dead mans grip. but as he pulled he
brought the rifle in line with his own breast
and the unyieldinS finger on the trigger did the
rest the rifle spoke from the dead mans hand,
and the bullet passing through the Beers heart
laid him beside the RritOn.
Sounds like a journalistic lie. does it not?
Read II in a novel, and you would laugh, would
you not? But it is the eternal truth all the
same, for the cOmrade of the BOer who died
that day, killed by a dead man. told me the tale

Whatever may be the faults of the present
system of the distribution of charity, whatever
may be thought of the methods of institutions

value of personal, unaffected friendship. Excuses
may be offered for not contributing to organlza-
tiOns but the fact remains that the brand OF
shame belongs to him who would deny all oD-
legations toward his brother. There is plenty OF
work for charitable societies to do. and they
would be the last to affirm that personal service
is not worth more than all the Ostentatious CIV
ing in the world. For any one who wishes quiet
Iy to help his poorer neighbOrs there is always
a way and when, some day, angel makes up
the accounts Of all who give Of their substance

that their names lead all the rest"
New-York tribune., 1900-12-02

difficult problem One woman has solved It in
the following way: She has one humble friend,
a washerwoman of strong common sense and
considerable tact, whom she makes her middle
man." Everything in the house which is no
longer wanted is put aside and made pre-
sentable as possible. 1t may be a gown or a
TOW. neatly mended. or a book. long unread, or
any of the thousand and one things which ac-
cumulate in an ordinary household. Worthy
Mrs Sullivan takes charge Of ali these things,
approprating what she needs for her own fam
ilv and giving the rest to her neighbOrs as she
thinks wisest In this way the self-respect OF
the very poor is preserved. for the clothes come
not as charity bestowed by strangers, but as q
friendly bit of neighbOrliness on the part of one
of their own kind The woman who gives the
help is spending a good deal of her valuable
spare time in persuading her friends to seek out
some sensible good woman Of the East Side and
make her the distributing agent for anything
that can be spared from the house. She says
that gifts from missions and the like never
escape the taint of cold charity, while the dona-
tions of a neighbor simply encourage one of the
best features of life in the crowded parts of
great cities She calls her system THE Sullivan
underground railway"
Another woman. similarly minded. had been
for years an invalid and the recipient of
mary books while she lay on her sofa. These
books not only gave her pleasure, but taught her
that she herself had some little talent so that
for years she wrote stories which found a more
or less ready acceptance among the lesser mag
aznes Her work for others now consists in
gathering together books from her various
friends and distributing them among such of the
poor as she numbers among her acquaintance,
and through them. among others of the neigh
borhood. The amusing feature of this bit of
benevolent work is that the story writer, while
supposed to distribute all kinds of good litera-
ture, unconsciousy seeks that sort of story
which she herself writes-goOd love tales with a
great deal of plot She is not educated
woman. and has little idea OF style, but she is
endowed with a mighty imagination, and found
success hIouSh that alone. Not unnaturally
she is trying to benefit others exactly as she
herself was helped. So far she has not found
any one who could rise even to the height of
writing a love story with plenty of plot but she
lives in hope and meanwhile is giving color to
many lives into which fate has forgotten to put
that share of romance which belongs by right
to every daughter of Eve
FRIENDS OF CHILDREN
One young woman, herself one of the plain
people" holds a place in the State Department
of Children's Aid. and is daily brought in con
tact with little ones in all stages of wretched-
ness. She herself can give nothing more than
what the city provides. but she has organized
little system which helps orphans who find them
selves suddenly turned over to the tender mercies

1t has been the invariable rule for
the electric light company to furnish
the few lights needed at the city hall
gratuitously under its contract to
light the city. Its refusal to accept the
magnanimous concession Of the city
council on account Of the insertion Of
the customary clause in the last propos-
ed contract is the veriest subterfuge on
its part to evade its plain agreement
and a piece of folly which will i'm
mensely aid the cause Of municipal
lighting. 1t can no longer be said
that the city council is responsible
for the dark streets during the regat-
ia. and no further sympathy should be
wasted on an institution which has
resorted to every possible maneuver 10
hold up the city against the rights and
best interests Of its taxpayers.
