"A Transvaal War Tale.

Here is very good story Of the war
as told by a correspondent. A private
in the Dublin fusileers, who collected
a quite surprising number of bullets
in his body, and is even more bored
by inquisitive visitors to the Moot
River hospital, was assailed by pom
pous legislator from Cape Town. He
YEARLY described his wound. Two
bullets through his helmet, one in. his
shoulder, another in his "fut," and two
explosive bullets through his left
breast. cts wonder you weren't
killed." said the legislator; "they must
have passed perilously near the region
of the heart" 'They did that, bedad,"
said the fusileer, "but I was right
enough, for sure me heart was in me
mouth for safety"

sj5t~ Traits of the Hindoo.

s g" Traits of the Hindoo.
The Hindoo is strict vegetarian.
The low-caste Hindoo is fatalist. So,
when the famine stalks abroad, the
Hindoo submits uncomplainingly. Day
by day he will subsist on less food,
until at last, when mere shadow,
he will drag his bony self to relief
station. There he may get food-or
he may not. If not, he crouches in
some corner, or out in the fields, un-
der the trees and awaits the coming
of death.

Difference in the Eyes.

People are right or left eyed just as
they are right and left handed, and,
just as the right hand is usually the
more powerful, so is the right eye.
Only one person in ten is left-sighted.
It is very probable that the use of
weapons during countless ages has had
something to do with the extra power
of the right eye.

More About Mr.. Aliens Death.

Theo. f. Myers returned Sunday
from Kansas where he attended the
funeral of Frank d. Allen. Mr.
Myers, in speaking of the subject, says
that Mr. Allen was feeling unusually
we'll the day of his death ami that he
was in great glee because of business
arrangements just made whereby he
and L. J. Anderson, Mr.. Myers broth,
er-in-law, had secured options on the
Ottawa Republican-Times. The paper
was owned by stock company. Mr.
Allen had bought some stock and
was put in as business manager but he
failed to get along with some eff the
populist members of the company.
The paper advocated democratic and
populist fusion. Mr.. Allen had to re.
tire as business manager and he was
therefore greatly elated when the new
turn came which would put him and
his friend in control. He was at home
with his wife and child who were with
her parents at their home in the coun-
try a few miles from Williamsburg,
which is fifteen miles from Ottawa.
They had passed a happy evening.
Upon retiring he told his wife he did
not feel right and he was afraid he had
taken too much of that stuff, PRODUCING
choral bottle, but told her not to l.,
scared. He was in the habit of taking
it and they both thought he knew no,
much to take. Soon she saw he Wa
acting very queerly and soon he fel
forward, face down, and was dead.
Mr.. Allen had bought farm about
four miles from Ottawa upon which he
and his wife intended to move in the
spring. They would there have an
elegant country home, one of Mr..
Aliens cherished ideals, and he would
go to town each day to attend to his
business. Across the road from this
farm is nice cemetery and in this Mr..
Aliens remains were laid away in final
rest. When Mr.. Myers reached there
it had been arranged to drive across
the country from his father-in-law's
home where he died to this cemetery,
but as the weather was extremely cold,
this was changed and the remains ia
ken to Ottawa on the cars. The I'M
dertaker, Mr.. l.. G. Stein, who is a
prominent citizen there and leading
Odd Fellow of Kansas, had the remains
taken to his residence where services
were held. Then they proceeded to
the cemetery.

Creveing were married Tuesday evening
at the Methodist parsonage, Rev.
Matheny officiating. 1t was very quiet
affair, in fact it was kept so quiet that
only few Of their most intimate friends
knew of it till next day. They were &C.
companied to the parsonage by Mr.. Il.
@. Rice and Miss Maud Doak. Although
people were surprised, yet they we're not,
for the observing public was half sus-
pecting such happy elimination. The
groom is the accommodating and
efficient deputy post master and is a
most excellent young man. The bride
is the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. h. j.
Creveling. For some years she was
book-keeper at the Bilharz store. She
is an accomplished singer and is posses
sed Of beautiful personality aud dis
position that will make her home q
happy one. These two young people
are held in high esteem. The REPUBI.
CAN joins in good wishes.
