Burgher Smit OF the Trans,aal, alone on the
kopie's crest
Beneath. in the mud, pool Of blood. a ragged
hole IN the breast.
A groan and chill-a fever chill-a prayer for
soldier rest.
Rurgher Smt Of the Transyaal in the heat Of the
tropic sun,
Had stood that day through the deadly fray to his
rock and his beching gun
With only hope to guard the slope till the grim
assault was done.
And Burgher Smit OF the Transsa al had worked
his hearts desire;
He had held his own his rock ribbed throne
through the storm OF steel and fire.
He had proved his heart worthy part of the
heart OF his trekkng sire!
But Burgher Smit OF the Transyaal felt a hand Of
ice at his soul;
He saw or he felt. his native yeldt with its ocean
dip and roll:
He looked through the night and saw the light
stream out from his ''landbouw" knoll.
And there he saw his little ones; he heard their
mothers call
As best she can. like her own good man. she
works in the cattle kraal.
But her heart Is away. the long, long day. away
DER the mountain wall!
But BurgheT Smit Of the Transyaa shall come no
more to his own:
He has gone the road that his fathers trode, he
has trekked to the last unknown.
And the Father above in justice and love shall
reap what these hands have sownl

MARYLAND HIGHWAYS.
Improved Roads Would Save $4,000.
900 Yearly to Farmers.

Figures gathered by the state geo.
logical survey In Maryland as prelmi-
nary 10 the work OF road improve.
ment in that state show that OF the
4.4S3 miles OF public road in the state
only 1860 miles are improved The
road laws are not of character 10 in
sure good roads and, as a result. the
roads are badly located. badly graded.
badly drained and badly surfaced,
causing a very heavy tax on all haul
ing.
The average distance each ton of
freight IS hauled to or from the Mary.
land farms is 81 miles; the average
cost is % cents mile per ton, or Sl.T4
a ton for the whole haul. There are
about 5.OOO.nO acres Of farm land in
Maryland. and there is about one ton
| OF freight hauled annually per acre to
or from each farm. The total cost.
therefore. of this transportation is over
$500 900 year. The cost of hauling
/ in New Jersey has been reduced one
half where the roads are improved.
Therefore. 10y improving Maryland
roads one.half of this sum could be
/ saved
/ Making q liberal allowance for the
| fact that part Of the hauling is done
over toll roads and that some of il goes
| over unimportant roads that could not
/ be immediately improved, it IS eStimat
/ ed that at least S3.OO00o0 a year could
( be saved 10y improving the main roads
/ in the state. 4 similar estimate is

THE SHADOW OF DEATH.


When Miss Malvina Spillman. who
lived midway between the small town
Of Vaudeville and the large estate OF
BroNton Hall. saw Dr. Govan for the
second time that day drive rapidly up
the avenue of laurel trees that stretch
ed from the big outer gates to the very
doorstep of the BroXton house, she lift
ed up her voice:
Il think Colonel BroXton must be
worse, mother. DR.. Goyans gone by

"But maybe he won't get here IN
time, Go back to the window, Malvina.
Something else might happen"
Miss Malvina'S mother was getting
old and had got deaf. Just now she
was pinned TO her armchair with a
Spra med ankle. To use her own pathos,
she was nothing like the woman Sic
used to be-
Sometimes Miss Malvina could pro
ject a bit of gossip across the room
without having to leave her sewing
machine or ironing board. 1t depended
largely on the state of the atmosphere
As a rule. she had to filter it carefully
through the perforated ear trumpet
that was swung by black ribbon
about her mothers neck.
The wheel of Miss Malvina's sewing
machine filled the little cottage with
its pleasant whir for few moments OF
renewed activity. Then something else
did happen, and she hustled across the
room once more TO report it. Her moth
pr held the trumpet in a state OF eager
readiness.
And Daniel has just gone galloping

THE PLAGUE.

Comparatively little is said about the
spread Of the bubonic plague, but 1t
seems that it has now reached the
Hawaiian islands. Last month fve
deaths from the plague were reported
in Honolulu, in the districts occupied
by Chinese and japanese.
The plague this time started in China,
and spread TO India, Persia, Russia,
Egypt and Portugal. 1t crossed over
TO Brazil, II seems, and came to the
very portals of the United States. 1t
seems to be reaching o1t eastward as
well as westward, from the source OF
beginning, as II preparing to embrace
the entire earth.
II Is a testimony to the triumph Of
science in this century, that the spread
OF such a disease causes no universal
panic among the nations Of the earth,
II has been found that temperate hab-
its in Il, ing, plenty of fresh air and
rational exercise render the human
body almost proof against the desease-
carrying microbes, How much this dis
coyery Is due TO experimental science,
and how much of 1t is the result Of re-
vealed religion need not be discussed,
but it should not be forgotten that ny
gienic science is developing in con-
formlty with the principles laid down in
the Word Of Wisdom, and other teach
ings on that subject, by those who laid
claim to no knowledge except that i'm
parted under the supervision Of the
