ter good nights rest, Tom had stroll

ness, in order that his mind might
be freed from all cares, preliminary to
a call upon Miss Smith, Toward noon,
his business completed, he entered a
fashionable cafe, which was, to him,
replete with memories Of happy visits,
in company with her for whom he had
been languishing whole year. The
seat he took gave him position
whence he might admire his own at

Before he was half through lunch the

was young, beautiful and-Miss Aman-

know him, but observed, with paling
cheek, that the two were very much
devoted to each other. Finally he no

with feminine care, was just in the act
of passing a beautiful white hand over
her tresses. Tom watched 1t, in all

ABOUT "IT"

Il appears that an Instructor at Vas

to Introduce an Innovation in the
English language Of no small conse.
quence In a work on logic she uses
The pronoun 1T whenever she refers
10 a person. IN the singular. just as
that word Is used 10 refer 10 O child,
when there Is no purpose 10 call atten'
ton 70 sex. The argument Tor this in.
noyatlon Is this, that II "it" can stand
for a small child Of either sex, It ought
20 be employed Tor a grown up child

To commence with II would appear
rather strange 20 hear "it' used that

does the assertion that IN some Lam
guages words denotlng woman are
OF neuter gender and consequently
called 1T" But one gets accustomed
to a.

deayored TO add TO the language the

tute for the idea Of person" may not

English Is a wonderfully wealthy Ian
guage. enriched from nearly every
source on earth. But there are stu a
few ideas Tor which It has no convent

the most conspicuous OF these Is the
relationship between children Of the

COST OF THE WAR.


This statement OF an official Of the ex-
chequer published IN one OF the maya
zines, shows the enormous cost Of the
conflict now being waged in South
Africa:
81 aking the estimate Of eco. 900, 900 az
well within the limits OF probability
we find that for a period OF nine months
this war win cost us at the rate Of over
El52 a minute or e9,i20 an hour night
and day Thus. FOR the purposes Of our
South African war alone we are spend
ing at the rate Of considerably over
million and a half pounds sterling
every week. In addition % our normal
expenditure OF over e47, 900 a year
In maintaining our army and feet and
a further 1000 900 a year In discharge
OF liabilities for wars In the past. We
thus find ourselves In the strange pOsiA
ton OF spending on war alone the stu
pendous sum o. e152 700 a year. or
something like e40OOO,OOO more than
our total national revenue for the year.
The cost to the Beers is. Of course,
also enormous, but It can hardly be
calculated even approximately The
Boer soldiers are not paid for their SER
vices, as are soldiers OF other coun-
tries Their maintenance Is therefore
to the state merely a question Of the
cost Of living expenses, But Indirect
~ the war falls heavier on them than
on the British Their country's in

In the absence OF the men in the field.
And they are less capable Of carrying
the enormous burden than are their an

Under the circumstances Il Is rather
peculiar 20 hear President Kruger sol
EMMY declare that the war may go on
practically indefinitely. for his people
are prepared TO defend themselves TO
the last man. II has been supposed
that the capture Of Cronje and the
death Of Joubert would make the march

In all Of the wars Of the Transyaal
Joubert has been the commander Of It's
forces. He was the hero OF Majuba
Hill when with a mere handful Of men
he defeated the flower Of the British
army under Sir George Colley and es-
tabllshed the right Of the republic TO
its independence. One Of the touching
incidents Of that historic event was the
death OF the defeated British command
er In the arms Of Joubert the victorious
B0er. Joubert was twice a candidate
for the presidency Of the republic in op-
position TO Kruger. but was each time
defeated He served one term as vice
president. His rivalry for the pres-
dency Is said % have created cool
ness between him and Kruger. but. II

It Is unfortunate indeed that he has
not lived. Measured by the lives Of the
greatest men OF the century Joubert
was not old. He was only 6s He

Chicago ministers are now comment
ing on the recent denunclatlon Of Pres.

preachers OF that faith, Dr. Hills, Of
Brooklyn. Presbytenans, as a rule,
say he is mistaken IN his statements,
but ministers OF other denominations
rather rejoice at the attitude he has
taken. Il is always easy TO endure
criticism when II is directed against
the weaknesses and deformities OF
