How it happened. You have heard
that Jim Drury met his wife when he
was attending college down in the
southern part of the state. She was the
only child of wealthy lumberman liv-
ing near Ludington. He was not
city-bred man, had lived for years on
the outskirts, owned large tract of
timber land, and had plenty OF the
ready"
The young people became attracted
and concluded to cast their lots to-
gether for veal or woe. Accordingly
Jim wrote the old man asking for his
daughter, who slipped little pleasing
note inside the letter from herself.
She was the apple Of the old mans
eye.
He replied that he could refuse moth
ing which would add to his daughters
happiness; that Jim might have her on
condition that he made his abode with
him. He wrote There amt darned
bit O. use of your liftin' your hand
I've plenty of timber, and there's lots
of hungry Burgers that'll be glad to get

An Afrikander by the name of Fry
boorg and an English miner named
Gorton struck up great friendship in
johannesburg. When the South Afri-
can war broke out each enlisted on his
own side. Gorton Joined the Imperial
Light Horse. He did not see his friend
again until the last action at Glands
laagte. There in the midst of charge
they met face to face. Hello, Cor

Then, as his friend stood up from be-

The British
Lion,,,
He Is in a Bal
Way Between
Beers, Ashantis
and Boxers,

quered. The Beers are still in the
field in the Free State and in the
Transvaal and the British command
ers find most difficult the task of pur-
suing the enemy that melts away one
day ike mist and re-appears the
next day as thunder cloud.
While England's immense army, Or
iginally 100000 strong, is thus occu-
pied in South Africa, another war has
been forced upon her on the west coast
of the Dark Continent, where the
Ashantis are in revolt. This, while
only a small affair, necessitates more
military outlay.
And while Great Britain is thus en-
gagged in one quarter of the world a
crisis. in which she is deeply con-
cerned, has sprung up in another At
time when her best interests demand
that she should be free to deal with
the Chinese situation, she finds her
hands fully occupied elsewhere. As
Lord Salisbury said in recent
speech, the lions teeth are now In
South Africa.
This concept of the situation of
Great Britain is admirably portrayed
by the Saturday Globe cartoonist. He
depicts the British lion in an attitude
of mingled rage and uncertainty, with
the Beers jabbing him behind; the
Asnantis advancing from another
quarter, while in front Chinese Box
err waves barred sword, daring the
king of beasts to conflict. Well may,
England regret, in view Of the Chi
nese horror, the fatuous policy that
led her to O war with the Beers.

There has never been a time since
the close Of the Napoleonic wars
when the military resources of Great
Britain were more sorely taxed than
today. Her hands are full in Africa,
where two wars occupy her attent. on;
a spirit of unrest is sweeping over In
dia. the vast population of which she
rules by disunion, while the Chinese
horror looms up CHASTITY and horrible,
menacing Christian civilization Itself.
She entered upon the war with the
Beers as though the campaign was 10
be a picnic. True, she had made eX-
tensive preparations; but not one man
in a million in England doubted that
$4,000 men would be able to settle the
issue. But the first few weeks of the
campaign taught different lesson.
Disaster after disaster followed Brit
ish arms from the Modder to the
Tugela. and the country was forced
to equip and send to the front larger
army than England ever before as
sembled. The picnic had become a
tragedy, and the tragedy goes on.
Butler was to have eaten his Christ
mas dinner in Pretoria as a victor. He
came nearer to eating 1t in the Boer
capital as prisoner. UP to the prese.h
over $4,000 British soldiers have been
killed, wounded, captured or invalided
home-a costly price to pay.
Nor is the end yet. Every soldier
now in South Africa is needed there,
and last week it was reported that
Lord Roberts was calling for re-
endorsements. Not only are the re-
publics not pacified; they are not con-

Made Plump for Mari age.

Throughout the empire OF Morocco
and in Tunis there are villages where
the elder members OF the adult popu-
lation follow professionally the pursuit
of fattening young ladies for the ma
trimonial market of Barbary. The
Moors, like the Turks and most other
Orientals, give a decided preference TO
moon faced" wives over lean ones and
are more solictous as to the number
of pounds which their brides weigh
than about the stock of accomplish
ments they possess. A girl is put I'M
der the process of fattening when she
is about II years of age. Her hands
are tied behind her, and she Is seated
on a carpet during SO many hours ev-
cry day, while her papa" stands over
her with a matraque, or big stick, and
her mother at times pops into her
mouth a ball of couscoussou, or stiff
maize porridge. kneaded up with
grease, and just large enough to be
swallowed without the patient choking.
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
"If the unfortunate girl declines to
be stuffed. she is compelled, so that
ere long the poor girl resigns herself
to the torture and gulps down the
boluses lest she should be beaten. In
Brazil corpulence is also considered
the essential point of female beauty,
and the greatest compliment that can
he paid to a Brazilian lady is to tell
her that she grows fatter and fatter
every day.

Light Furnishings.

The craze for the blue and white of
Delft ware has penetrated to every de-
partment of furnishing and the fur
nisher who is afraid of her own taste
in selection is safe in adopting drap-

and white thing looks well in almost
any room and couch with blue drap-
cries and pillows is a pretty corner

nished rooms.
