A Liverpool steam packet company
many years ago wanted to extend its
premises, and resolved to buy piece
Of land belonging to a maiden lady of
uncertain age. The spinster sold her
land at very low price, and as set
off requested that clause should be
put in the agreement to the effect that
during her. whole life she and COM
panion should at any time travel free
in the company's vessels. On the
day after the agreement was signed,
she sold her furniture, let her house,
and went ON board the frst outward
bound vessel belonging to the COM
pany, without troubling herself about
the destination. For many years the
lady lived on one ship or another, ac-
companied by some lady traveller, for
whom che advertised, and whose pas
sage money she pocketed. She was
reckoned at her death to have made
over ten thousand dollars by the trans
action.

Government schools. One is the
town school, another the ward school
and the third the paripatetic school.
At Bloemfontein there is very fine
college, known as Grey College, where
higher education is carried on.
The vast majority of the Free
Skaters are members of tho Reformed
Dutch Church. In fact, this is the es-
tablished church of the State. Even
the tiniest village has its devout con-
gregation, and the Government con-
tributes each year $4,000 for the
support of its Dutch religious insti-
tutions.
The climate of the Orange Free
State is perhaps the most healthful in
all South Africa. 1t is both drier and
colder than that of the neighboring
colonies, due to the fact that the veldt
of the Free Skaters is so high above
the sea level.

Free State is founded upon that OF

dotted with rocky hills, which the Beers
call ''kopjes." In the northern part,
however, one can travel hundreds of
miles without seeing break in the
horizon. When the Natal Beers took
possession of the country it was in.
habited by different tribes. All ex-
cept the powerful Basutos have dis
persed.
The Free State is divided into the
following districts /: Bloemfonteip.
Winburg, ..South6eld, Harrismith and
Fauresmith. The capital is Bloem-
fontein (of which we give several il
lustrations), situated on tributary OF
the Modder River and about 500
miles from Cape Town. The Orange
Free State was annexed by Great
Britain in the forties, and continued a
colony of the empire until 1854, when
it was granted independence. The in
habitants then established govern
ment of their own and had progressed
satisfactorily until their President,
Mr.. Steyn, was led by President
Kruger into an offensive and defen-
sive alliance against England.

A rhinoceros that can dance is not,
like dancing bear, familiar sight.
Naturally such rhinoceros created a
sensation when, while being unloaded
from a railroad car at Philadelphia, it
escaped into the street.
The beast was sent to the Zoolog-
ical Garden and arrived in good health
and spirits. Twenty employees OF the
express company stood about to pre-
vent its getting away, but when the
animal started they all fed down Sew
enteenth street.
The rhinoceros went to Market
street, the men after it, thence to Six
teenth and back to Filbert. In the
short journey it passed probably a
hundred people, and put them all to
fight. An Italian, grinding out a
merry tune on his organ, got shock
that he will not soon forget.
The beast has been with a circus
and can dance and do cake-walk. At
Sixteenth and Hilbert streets it hear
the sound of the music, and began ia
! dance.
The italian did not know what
brought the crowd, but he kept on
turning his crank until suddenly there
was roar of laughter, and he turned
to find the beast standing still, sol
emily looking at him. With terri
fic yell, he dropped the crank and ran
The animal was caught and put bacl
into the cage with little difficulty.

IHE Orange Free State had no
quarrel with Great Britain.
The Transvaal's quarrel WAS


The Transvaal's quarrel was
not her quarrel. She was a
free aud independent State, living her
own life and worshiping her own
Legislative and administrative gods.
Her people, however, spoke the same
tongue as the Transvaaler. A shadow
OF the Anglophobia that lurked on the
north of the Vaal was also to be found
north of the Orange, and Martinus
TIL. Steyn, the far seeing and courage
Gus President of the Free State, firmly
believed that if the South African
Republic were wrested from Dutch
control, either by armed force or by
awe of Great Britain's prowess, the
next victim of the slogan British
pre- eminence in South Africa" would
be his own little Republic, the Orange
Free State. Furthermore, the two
Republics were bound by treaty
made in 1897, after the Jameson raid,
which provided that if either State
were attacked the other was to come
to its assistance with its full fighting
force, which at that time meanta COM
bined army of about A, 600 mem
1900 Transvaalers and $4,000 Free
Staters.
So the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal joined hands. That the
Free Skaters were not the first to suf-
fer by this racial coalition was due to
one of those mere accidents of war or
caprices of fate that can never be
anticipated. Ladysmith and Colenso,
Kimberley and Mafeking CHANGED to
be the points where the storm burst.
The Free Staters, while descended
from the same Dutch settlers in South
Africa as the Transvaal burghers, form
what might be termed another branch
of the Boer family. They settled in
Natal after the exodus from the Cape,
but as that became a British colony,
they fell back and established them
selves in the country lying between
the two great branches of the Orange
River, known to the. coonists as the
Vasl and the Orange Rivers, and sepa-
rated from the coast by the Drachen-
berg Mountains. The Orange River
Free State, to give it its full name,
forms connecting link between Cape
Colony, the Transvasl and Natal, and
was for years called the Buffer State.
1t is vast plateau, 5000 to 5000 feet
above sea level. It's undulating plains

was adopted on April 10, 1854, and gave
to everyone living in the country be-
fore the date of its adoption the right
to vote for president and members
of the new legislature. The com.
mando law is unique. This law, which
was put into successful operation at
the opening of the campaign for the
raising of Orange Free State troops,
regulates the calling out of burghers at
all times Of danger. Every male In
habitant of the State between sixteen
and sixty years of age is, under this
law, subject to the call of the field
cornet. The number that were found
available for the last call to arms is
said to have been $4,000.

SCENES IN BLOEMF0NTEIN,
CAPITAL OF ORANGE FREE STATE.

Free State, for Bloemfontein. the cap
ital of the little republic, was careful
ly fortified and garrisoned for many
months before the actual outbreak OF
hostilities. The accompanying illus
tration will give very good idea of
the Boer fort at Bloemfontein, spot
which, in view of recent events, has
an especial interest to all followers of
the present struggle between the Boer
and the British.
The Orange Free State is like and
vet unlike the Transvaal. Its people.
like those north of the Vaal River, are
