RnmorS of Flank Movements.
Persistent reports are being circu-

flank the British position at Wepener,
and thus to secure entrance into Ba-
sutoland. Such an attempt will be re-
sisted by the Basutoland government
which. it is believed, has made quiet
preparations. Meanwhile the approach
of the armies to Basuto!and produces
much excitement among the natives,
recessitating the utmost vigilance on
the part of the local officials.

Thirty-fve years ago Senator VIII
lam A. Clark, of Montana, taught
school a winter in Pettis county. When
he left for Montana he owed William
Beck, merchant. $13, which was to be
RENTED when Clark was able. The
village teacher was lost sight of by
Beck until the Montana senatorship
contest was taken up, when it WAS
published in the press dispatches that
Clark once taught school in Pettis
county. \ few days ago Beck ad-
dressed letter to Senator Clark, re-
minding him of his $13 Indebtedness,
and the other day reply was re-
ceived, inclosing check for $50,
which covers the amount OF Beck s
bill and interest 10 date.

the Modder river water works, broke
up into strong divisions. and they are

The Beers policy seems to be to make
rapid movements, with little trans

Learned Men who Master FIFTY Differ
ent Tongues.

Learned Men who Master FIFTY Differ
ent Tongues.
When one considers the difficulty OF
acquiring even a "nodding acquaint-
ance" with two or three languages, it
seems almost incredible that some men
should be able to speak with all the
huency of a native in twenty, and even
fifty, strange tongues. 1t is only few
months since DR.. Gottlieb Loitner, the
most famous linguist OF this genera
ton. died at Bonn, in Germany Dr.
Leitner, who acted as Interpreter to an
army in the Crimean war, could speak
with equal facility in no fewer than
fifty languages; and many Of the more
abstruse eastern tongues he knew as
intimately as his native German. But
there have been phenomenal linguists
in all ages, from the far-away days OF
MithridateE, king of Pontus, who could
converse with the subjects In each OF
their twenty-five tongues; and from
the days OF CLEOPATRA, who never used
an Interpreter IN her relations with
the worlds ambassadors. Pico della
Mirandola, learned Italian Of the
fifteenth century, was eloquent In
twenty-five languages, and NJ. Full
gence Fresnel was familiar with TWEEN
ty, and In the seventeenth century
Nicholas Schmid. a German peasant,
translated the Lords Prayer into as
many languages as, there are weeks IN
year. The greatest inguist of all
time, however, was Cardinal Mezzofan-
H. who died half a century ago Mezzo-
fanti's lin tic range was so great
tnat he cot have conversed in a diff
ferent every week for two years
without exhausting his vocabulary. In
all he was familiar with ia languages
and dialects, and in most of them he
could speak with such accuracy and
purity OF accent that he might have
been, and often was, mistaken for a
native.

A Queer Yarn That savors OF Spirit
uallsm.
To sit for a photograph and have it
turn out to be a precise likeness OF
ones deceased father is sort OF un-
canny proceeding that does not happen
frequently, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. There is young woman in
charge of a modest little picture gall
lery at Broadway and Convent street
who maintains with all seriousness
tnat an effort on her part to reproduce
the features of an elderly customer in
a tintype resulted in producing a pho
tOgraph of the mans sire The young
woman does not undertake to explain
the phenomenon-she only knows
that 1t happened, that's all" When
asked for her experience with the pie
ture she said: IAN old German, not
more than five feet tall and aged about
65, walked in and asked to have tin
type taken. | posed him in the atti-
tude he wanted, which happened to be
sitting on chair with his arm resting
on a small table. / went about the
work in my customary manner. When
/ developed the plate l was astounded
and little frightened to find that the
picture was altogether different from
what 1t should have been. Instead OF
little man seated by table the tin
type showed a tall man standing i'm.
mediately behind one. And the face
OF that man was entirely different from
the one of the man who had, Satin
front of the camera. The picture was
of man aged at least so and had full
long whiskers reaching almost to his
waist. I explained to the sitter that
would have to make another tintype,.
as the first effort had turned out a.
failure. He wanted TO see the picture,
and, when he had looked at 1t few.
seconds, he said, in broken English
'Mein Gott! That Is a perfect likeness
of my father. who has been dead for
many years. These words frightened
me more than ever, but the man in
sisted that the photograph was the
image of his dead father, and would
not listen to me when / wanted him
to destroy II and make another of him.
He said he would not give it up for
anything, and. paying me move than
asked, he left the shop He evidently
presumed that, because the picture
tried to make OF him turned out to be
a likeness of his dead father / used
some spiritualistic process In taking
tintypes, for a few days afterward a
woman came into the place and asked
to have a tintype made OF her dead
mother"

REV. swANN's anti-saloon league is
tearing up the earth at oklahoma
Town. The texpayers down there
protested against the closing Of the
saloons, holding that the squelchinR
OF saloons would cut of the mAin rev
enue of the city, and thereby cause an
extra levy TO be made against the
uronertv owners In order that the citv
bills might be paid The Antis heard
these arguments and finally decided
to close the saloons and draw on the
national league for sufficient money to
run the city FOR five years.

A gentleman whose word cannot be

celvcd tells the following: Very ear
" one morning he saw a fox cycling
most wlstfully a number OF wild ducks
feeding in the rushy end Of a highland
lake After a while the fox. going 10
windward of the ducks, put ahoat in
the lake several punches Of dead
rusnes or grass WHICH hoated down
amongst the ducks without causing the
ieast alarm. After watching the ef-
fects OF his preliminary fleet for a
short time, the fox. taking a good
sizel mouthfll Of grass in his Jaws,
launched himself into the water as
quietly as possible, having nothing but
the tips of his ears and nose above
water In this way he drlfted down
among the ducks and caught a fine
maIlard. Though this story GEMS ex-
traordinary, It must be em 'Ibered
that the fox manage ~ eaNu'e wild
ducks. wood pigeons. hare. 1cl nom.
