THE BoER AND HIS RIFLE.
Differences Between the Weapon
Used Now and That of Twenty
Years Ago.

In the war of 1s79-s0 the Beers
displayed deadly accuracy with the
rife, but their weapon then was very
different from the arm used lately
at Dundee. The rife of 90 years ago
was built on the lines of the British
Martini. It was a hammerless arm
of about nine pounds weight, with a
30-inch half-octagon barrel and a
shotgun butt stock. The caliber was
As, with bullet weighing from 4G5
to $50 grains. The powder charge
was 90 grains in a brass drawn car
fridge case. The rife was sighted
up to 1000 yards. Besides the usual
stationary sight it had a reversible
front-that is, sight capable of be-
ing used as an ordinary front sight,
and, by a single motion, it was
changed into fine pinhead sight
covered with ring to keep it from
being Knocked off. On an occasion
where particularly fine shooting was
demanded this front globe was fur
ther covered with a thimble-shape0
hood, shading it perfectly. The usual
stanuing rear or fixed sights were on
=
was rundown peep that was regu-
lated by side screw to an elevation
of 1000 yards. The peep and globe
were never used under 700 or SEQ
yards.
Il was very much interested in the
Boer rifemen and their weapons"
said Archibald Forbes. who was with
Sir EVELYN Woods column in South
Africa in 1S79-SO. They are marvel
Gus rife shots. They shoot their an
telope and other game from the sad
die. not apparently caring to get near
er to their quarry than 600 or roo
yards. Then they understand the cur
rents of air. their effect upon the
drift of bullet, and can judge dis
tance as accurately as it could be
measured by skilled engineer. They
can hit an officer as far as they can
discern hiE insignia of rank. Sir

sffort, heard voice. 1t was that of
Young man named Osborne.
''Who is with you?" the rescuers
asked, eagerly.
In solemn, muffied tones the answer
came back: Nobody here but God and
myself
At intervals Osborne was heard to
say this, and nothing more: Praise
the Lord!" Gradually his voice became
fainter, and when the rescuers reached
him, they found his body crushed al
most to shapelessness.
1t is worth going to the depths of
the earth to find such beautiful accept

come to every mortal when he must
realize the young miners words: No

THE LITTLE PRINCESS MARY.

Sne came when we were fast as,eep
Our mothers little daughter:
Aaey IeIt her here for US to keep
Inc angel band who brought her.
ne stars were shining in the sky
When outward swung the portal
VI heaven, to let the train go by
VINO bore this new immortal
sne has the wee small hands and feet
That suit a tiny fairy;
Her little face is pure and sweet,
Our darling Princess Mary
we sit and watch her as she lies
so silent by the hour;
We think she must be wondrous wise,
Yet like a folded flower
Some day these rose-leaf hands will hold
a strong mans heart within them;
ana naply some with gems and gold
VIII try their best to win them;
But sure are we the maiden dear
wiz of her gifts be chary,
And love alone shall vanquish fear
And thrall the Princess Mary
Beyond our ken, but seen by her,
A presence often fingers,
and breath of roses and of myrrh
de watts from gentle fingers:
FROM out the choiring cherubim,
her guardian angel bending
Sings soft and sweet her cradle-hymn,
Our baby's rest attending.
Sweet is our home as days go by
Though storms without may gather;
No clouds obscure our happy sky,
We praise the great AlI-Father,
Who sent US here so rich a prize,
This bonny little daughter,
Who on earth's pathway oped her eyes
1he night the angels brought her.

THE SUCKER STATE.
Differing Stories to How Illinois
Came by Its Singular
Nickname.

How did Illinois come by its name
If the Sucker state? good many
people thought they had it settled
TO their entire satisfaction, but now
comes forward a Galena man with
an assertion which will afford the old
settlers fruitful topic of discussion.
AS the story has been told to the
present generation. the term of Suck
er state came from the practice of
fhe pioneers. who, when exceedingly
dry and the jug was empty. broke
off a reed. inserted it in a crawfish
hole in mother earth. and imbibed
through the reed sufficient to slake
their thirst. That such a practice
was necessary in a country so filled
with lakes and fresh water streams
was rather hard to be believed at
first, but the old settler insisted he
knew what he was talking about, and
his version was accepted.
The Galena man who would upset
this theory offers another quite as
homely. but perhaps equally accept
able. In a carefully prepared paper
read before a farmers institute he
set forth that in an early day the
country for hundred miles south
of Galena was sparsely settled, while
the southern part of the state was
quite we'll dotted with homes. Every
spring many people would go to Ga
lena to work in the mines in that
region, returning in the fall, this
practice being kept up Il good many
years. This was as the suckers in
A. Il
the spring, and went down stream
when the fall rains appeared, Hence
the name of suckers was applied to
the people, and the name of Sucker
to the state.
This version was not accepted by all
of the members of the institute. 1t
aroused warm argument, and the
question is not yet decided. Who is
authority on the subject ?-Rockford

New York's underground street rail-

mean car tracks in large American
cities. They are needed in the con-
