Kruger's Faith.

President Kruger, who is a great
praying man, has this to say about his
cause:
"Although God is testing our people,
my personal opinion is that the limit OF
the test is nearly over. II the people
are sustained by faith in the time OF
diversity, God will soon again turn the
tide in our favor. II we have strong
faith in God he will surely deliver US.
The God Of deliverance of the olden
time is the same God now"
The old man should have put in this
proviso: "If we are right" We heard
Methodist chaplain express the same
kind OF faith when Lee was retreating
from Petersburg to Appomattox and
Sheridan was crowding him at every
turn In the road. He said: II have
faith we will win," but next day Lee
surrendered.

TWICE within the present decade
public opinion has shown itself more
powerful than the president OF the
United States. In 1893 Mr.. Cleveland
believed his will irresistible and at
tempted to withdraw the Hawaiian an

UNTOLD WEALTH.
Isidora Cousino, of Santiago, Chill,
heads the list of enormously wealthy
women. She has two hundred millions OF
dollars. She is getting on as folks
say In this country. in years, and.
although possibly near the half century.
IS still remarkably beautiful and appears
more youthful than do many women who
have spent their thirty years in those
gayeties which tend to age them.
Her ancestors were among those who
conquered the simple folks and who occu-
pied the great countries in our neighbor-
ing continent. The lust for gold was
on them all, and it was stated. Her
maiden name and this should be carefully
written down, was Goyenechea. For
generations not only her family, but that
of her husband had owned vast tracts Of
land. In her fathers lifetime. even, the
fortunes of the two latter had increased
enormously in value. Mines We're devel-

in upon them

house, and the two latter are country
estates
Sonora Cousino lives and spends her
money without regard to public opinion,
which, however. is not supposed to be
censorious in Chill. especially to one
generous. She would think little OF
giving away a million to any one She
might fancy.
She is fond of bright young men. and
has always about her a small court of
