New York, March 2O.-Tbe
Herald this morning publishes
the following uncensored inter
view with President Kruger of
the Transvaal:
81 have just had an interview
with President Kruger, who re-
ceived me on the piazza of his
house. He shows but little evil
dence in his countenance of the
tremendous strain he is under
going. He was dressed in a rusty
frock coat, the front of which
was sprinkled with tobacco. He
smoked a pipe during the whole
interview.
"'I am glad said the presi-

ent of the New York Herald, as
your presence insures that what
ever may be the result OF this
unhappy war, the world will in
the long run learn the truth.
This war was forced on US by
England, which had been misled
by Cecil Rhodes and the mining
millionaires who want the coun-
try. The Beers yielded as far
as possible until they saw that
nothing but the complete surren-
der of their independence would
satisfy England. Having been
forced into the war. the Beers
will conquer or die. l expected
no aid from other nations, but
we are glad of sympathy and
friendship. The Transvaal is
willing to make peace at any time
but we want no more conven

THE ONE MEDICINE

in the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which aff1ict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
Is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of a mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts OF troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is a catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure you.

Two incidents In the railroad life OF
Payson Tucker are told that we'll il
lustrate what worker he. was and
his attention to the details Of business
Several years ago he was up on the
mountain division Of the Maine Cen
trail road and looked over the grounds
Of one Of the stations. Nothing more
than the usual conversation passed
and he returned to his car and went
back to Portland. Nearly year pass
ed before he had occasion to call al
the station again, and then he stepped
off the car and asked pleasantly:
do you have all the help you want
here?"
Yes, sir; all that we need.''
"Quite sure you have enough?"
Eyes, sir. There is not much to be
done at SO small station"
We'll, feared you were rushed to
death and could not find time to re-
move that pile of old bricks l saw the
last time / was here"
With that the general manager of
the road stopped over the pile Of bricks
and, without removing his kid gloves,
continued the work until the last one
was neatly piled up.
At another time a break had been
committed at one of the stations on
the back road, and the next day after
the notice of the break had been wired
to Portland Mr.. Tucker CHANGED to
pass that way After looking things
over, Mr.. Tucker asked what had been
lost, and the agent quickly ran over
the amount Of money and tickets
stolen.
'That alp asked Mr.. Tucker, when
the agent had concluded.

you have not missed it. I will send

THE SOLDIERS PAROLE.
What Is Meant by 1t and How It Il
Arranged.

what IL meant by 1t and How 1t Ii
Arranged.
Parole, 1t must be understood, is q
purely voluntary compact The captor
is not obliged to offer to parole his
prisoner, and the prisoner is not oblig-
ed and cannot be compelled to give his
parole.
If he does SO, he will probably be re-
leased on pledging his word not to
serve during the existing war. If he
refuses, he will remain captive unit;
the war is over or until he can make
his escape.
The usual parole pledge extends only
to active service against the enemy
A prisoner released on parole is not
breaking his contract If he drills, re.
cruits, quells civil connections or fights
other enemies.
A soldier taken prisoner has no au.
thority to pledge himself never to serve
against particular enemy. He can.
not throw off thus lightly the duty he
owes his sovereign or country, and if
he makes any pledge it must be con
fined to limited time.
Moreover, if prisoner should make
pledge not approved by his own gov.
eminent he is bound to return and sur.
render himself to the enemy.
In the British army a soldier can
only give his parole through com.
missioned officer. Even a noncommis.
stoned officer or an officer Of inferior
rank cannot give parole either for him.
self or for his men without permission
from his commanding officer.
The United States authorities. by the
way, give greater liberty of parole than
is the case with the British army.
A captured prisoner who has violated
his parole may be punished with death.
