since my last meeting with Mr.. Kruger,
two years ago. he has become more venera-
bic in appearance, and seems to have lost
in physical vigor His hair is now snow
white and sparse: his complexion ashy
pale. and his massive features, as a good
ourgher put IL to me, remind one OF a hip
popotamus. His eyes give him trouble. and
over them he wears at all times smoke-col-
ored spectacles. with sauze sides. Two lit
tie gold rings in his ears, that were put in
when he was a youngster show plainly
against the white hair. He smokes les,
than formerly, drinks more coffee, and
while talking splits in nervous, jerky
manner.
The war has proved a terrible strain on
the old Transvaal patriots nervous vital

been compelled TO forego the habits Of q

Wong Ia Is typical Boxer. His name
signifies that he is the eldest, or greatest
son Of the house Of Wong. He is therefore
his fathers hope and pride. May his father
have much Joy Of this talented son!
Not that Wong is really celebrated
name here as human standards go. Wong
is as common a family name hereabouts as
Smith Is In the United States, where there
are Smiths and other Smiths. Wong Ia Is
one Of the other Wongs. He Is a coolie,
and, as far as he knows his ancestors have
been coolies for the last 1900 years.
Wong Ia was one Of bunch OF Boxers
caught by scouting party Of mounted
troops not far from here. At the head OF
twenty men in loose column Of twos rode
an officer, shading his eyes with his hand
and gazing sweepingly over the fiat, muddy
plain. They were following the river, away
