HIS GREAT WORK.

A Chicago man who has written a book was telling about it the other day to a friend who had once done him q service.
 By the way said the author, "I would be delighted to give you copy of my york; If you care for it."
 T should be more than pleased to have it." was the reply, especially If you will write your name in it."
 "All right. There's book store just around the corner. If you will accom- pany me we will go there and get it. I don't happen to have copy in my office just now"
 After they had stopped to glance at some of the new things in the book store the author hailed a clerk. and pushing his chest out very far asked for the. novel that he had written.
 Yes, sir" the clerk said. We have it around here somewhere, I believe, but you are the first one who has ever asked for copy, and it may take me some time to find 1t. Wouldn't something else do just as well? We have a great many better books at the same price," --hicago Times-Herald.

hannesburg came into existence and Its
 population increased at the rate of 8
 thousand day, The character of the population of mining camp you all
 know. The grievances that arose in the city of Johannesburg had, in my
 opinion, nothing to do with the present
 conflict. One was that in the schools of l the Transvaal no language but Dutch l was taught, another was that the Out | flanders wished to get rid of the Boers. ! But in reality only one class of Out
 flanders wished to get rid of them-the English. Then again, the monopolies
 on acconite and other things were cited | as a grievance. There is no evidence
 that the Outlanders were taxed any | higher for these than the people who | lived further south were.
 | All these, at any rate, would even- | tually have been redressed had it not | been for the camorng of the English men. They wanted naturalization, bat | lot and representation in the houses Of ! the republic. They claimed that 1t was highly unjust that such mass Of men should pay taxes when they could
 not be represented, Tn the history of
 Great Britain itself down to 1870, no alien could gain admittance to the
 House of Commons and today no alien can be admitted to the House of Lords., Was it just that the English should claim admittance to the assembly of the
 Transvaal? What did we do in 92 when the Chinese came upon us in such
 great numbers? We didn't hesitate to tear treaty in two to secure their ex- pulsion.
 Its not the ethics of the case in question of this kind; it's the politics. The situation in South Africa was not an ethical one; 1t was simply q political one, in which the capitalists are mainly the interested parties. It was perfectly reasonable, in my estimation, to re- quire in the case of aliens a residence of fourteen years before allowing them entrance to the upper house. The men who wished admittance had but q tenn porary interest in, the country. And again, the English who are canoring for representation, are not q majority Of the Outlander population by any means"
 The speaker at this point dwelt on the Jameson raid and it's object. He said that this latter was to gain possession of Johannesburg, it's mines, to oyer- throw the Boer government and set up their own He related briefly the connection Cecil Rhodes had in the af- fair and later with the organization of the British South African company, and then dwelt at some length on Jameson's trial in England and the at- titude of the English government in the matter He related the episode of the Prince of Wales shaking Rhodes by the hand when he was in the courtroom and stated that it was an open secret in London at the time that the investiga- tion was stopped because of the influ- ence of the heir to the crown. Tt is equally as well known" he continued, that scions of noble families are in- duced to lend their names to enterprises because of the remuneration they re- ceive. It is this same desire for gold

 The whole scheme was to gain pos session of the great Durand mines and the twenty million dollars year reve- nue which they yield. That is the cause of the present war. I do not charge it to the British government, 'but to the miserable connection of British noblemen with capitalists in their mon- ey schemes. But the Boers are predom- inant in South Africa, and doubt not that they will remain predominant. The English government may hold them down by main force. but they are sure to rise as soon as the pressure is re- moved.

PROF. WHEELER'S LECTURE ON BOER WAR.

Prof. Wheeler in his address at Unit ed chapel recently on the situation in South Africa in opening referred to let ters which he said had been recently re-
 celved, referring to the question, One writer begged of his to remember the attitude of England to this country in the war of 1872; the
 other reminded him that England
 had shown herself as distinctly favor
 able to the United States In the Spanish
 American War. Neither of these facts
 he said, should be considered in review
 ing the history of the case, it must be
 decided upon it's merits. For years he
 has been a close student of the history
 of England and her colonies, and as he
 has looked back upon that history, he
 haes found, as in the case of all coun-
 tries mixture of good and evil. Four
 years ago. when the Venezuelan ques- tion was being agitated he spoke strenu-
 ously for England, for he thought her in the right; on the present occasion he
 would speak as strenuously against her, for he thought her wrong.
 "The greatest explanation of this problem lies in the past. Englishmen as a rule try to forget the past; the Boers on the other hand have long mem- ories and what is burnt on their mem ory, they cannot forget. It is the busi- ness of the conquering race always to perform the duty of reconciliation to the conquered race and in that way to take the sting out of defeat. England has sig nally failed to do this; and it but tal- lies with her ignorance from the start of what to do with the people. There is no necessity to charge the English government with injury to the Boer na- tion; negligence, occupation elsewhere, ignorance and incredible stupidity, eX- plain all That is probably the strong est indictment that can be brought against the English government.
 Going from here the speaker dealt with the general causes of E.ngland's failure to solve the problem; her tenn porising and vacillation the breach be- tween the whites and blacks, all aris- ing, he said, from ignorance and indif- ference and stupidity. The results after 20 years were then discuss4d. the con ditione of the colonies, and finally the great immigration in 1884 and it's caus- es The annexation of Natal in 1S45, l and the condition of affairs which led l up to the great exodus were all treated 1!

upon the door with bare hands. but
got no answer. Then she ran around
to the kitchen door. which stood open,
showing light burning in an empty
house.
The doctor could not be far away,
she thought, and, stepping inside, she
stood on the platform and shrieked:
"Oh, doctor, doctorl" in a voice Of an
guish which brought, not the doctor,
but Darcie Hamilton out of the cellar,
where her piercing cry had reached him.
He sprang to her side and put his good
arm around her as the simplest way

self-evident consequences, left the poor
