difficult to conceive that men
possessing the common attribute
of humanity should set out, after
caressing their wives and children,
and proceed to shoot down men
and women whose affections are
as warm as ours"
In the present war it is said that
the Beers keep their women in the
trenches with them. It is the
some old scheme of putting the
weak and innosen, in front to
protect the armed-men.
On this point DR.. Livingstone
says:
aDuring that tim (8 years of his
missionary labors) no winter pass,
ed without one or two tribes in the
East country being plundered
of beth cattle and children by the
Beers. The plan pursued is the
following: One or two friendly
tribes are forced to accompany
a party of mounted Beers, and
their expeditions can be got up
only in the winter, when horses
may be used without danger of be-
ing lost by disease. When they
reach the tribe to be attacked, the
friendly natives are ranged i'll
front, to form, as they say "a
shield; the Beers then cooily
fire over their heads till the devoted
people flee and leave their cattle,
wives, and children to the captors.
This was done in nine cases dur
ing my residence in the interior,
and on NO occasion was a drop of
BOer blood shed.'

hands of the man, but the hands
did not&move. The horse trotted

its driver, Rudolph Nolte, a
groceryman had suddenly died
from heart disease while on, his
way with load of produce from
the allaboutmarket.
Nolts had grocery store at
High street and Massachusetts,

the wagon at Graham and Flushing
avenues. The uncertain way in
which the wagon was going attract
ed the attention of Bicycle Police

driver, but received no response.
He mounted the seat and found
Nolte dead. he then drove the
wagon to the Stagg Street Police

comparatively harmless in health;

it is attacked. The experimets

HOME PARTIALLY BURNED.
MR.. STEVENS RESIDENCE
CATCHES ON FIRE.
The Roof, Several Rooms and the
Furniture Badly Damaged.
The Loss About ST 900.

The home of Hon. O. B. Stevens, in
Griffin, was partially destroyed by fire
late Saturday afternoon.
The fire was not as disastrous as was
at first reported, though considerable
damage was done.
Half of the roof, including supports,
was burned and three rooms and the
hall alMost completely ruined by fire
and water. Some furniture was also
destroyed, and all of it, which was
scattered over three-acre field, was
more or less damaged.
The fire caught from sparks falling
on the roof or from a defective 1ue. 1t
started in the southeastern part of the
building, and the wind, coming from
the northwest, blew it away from the
house, which saved it from complete
destruction.
It is not known what the damage is,
but it is estimated at from 5000 to 81,
900.
Mr.. Stevens has put carpenters to
work rebuilding his home.

THE CHIEF A SCORCHER.
Used a Bike and Caught a Flee

Chief of Police Oxford clearly dem
onstrated few days ago that he is
equal to any emergency, and, although
he is not bicycle officer, he has prov

Porter, dusky disturber of the pub

to be locked up, and accordingly made
haste to fee from the approaching Off

Chief Oxford, however, determined
to show the sprinting law breaker that
he could not fight on the streets with
out suffering the natural consequences.
He therefore borrowed a bike, and,
mounting it, started off in pursuit of
the fighter. The negro saw him com
ing and increased his speed. Chief
Oxford did likewise, and pushed the
pedals like Zimmerman. His effort
met with success, the negro being
overtaken and lodged in the guard
house. He was fined 81 next morning

him.
