TWO MEAN TOWNS.
1tOries Told by Travelling Men About
Couple of Decidedly Poor
Places to Live In.

They were talking about bad towns.
"I'he meanest place | ever was in, said
the man who travels for Chicago house, lis
down in Massachusetts,. Say, do you know
what happened while l was stopping there
once? a man had fallen through hole in
the sidewalk and sustained injuries that re-
suited in the loss of his right arm. He sued
the city for damages, and the case was tried
before a jury, which, the papers said, was
composed of represen tative citizens. Well,
what do you suppose they did to him!
Brought in a verdict in favor of the city,
holding that inasmuch as he was left-handed
his injury didn't amount to anything"
Yes" the cigar man said, that pretty
mean town, admit, but know of worse
one. This place is in Pennsylvania. An ac-
uuaintance of mine down there was injured
some time ago in pretty much the same way
the man you mentioned got hurt. he fell on
a bad sidewalk and lost one of his legs. lie
sued the city, and didn't get anything.
never heard Just why, but probably because
the iurors didn't believe he needed more than
one leg in his business, seeing that he was
a barber and couldn't hone razor or shave
a man with his foot anyway. But wait,
haven't come to the point at which the real
meanness developed. Being poor man, be
couldn't afford to buy cork leg, so he had
to get along with wooden peg, and one day
while he was crossing the principal street
this peg in some way got wedged between
coupfe of paving stones right in the middle of
the street car track. 1t took them nearly an
hour to get him loose, and what do you sup
pose happened then? Blamed if they didn't

obstructing traffic!"-Chicago Times Herald.

He Was Mistaken.

The young man was telling the
young lady that he believed there
must be some sort of affinity between
them. And he went on to say that
the other day when he was walking
up the street he felt that she was
coming up on that next car, nay, he
knew she was in that car. Sure
enough, when the car rolled by there
she sat, and not only that, but she
turned and saw him walking. A few
days afterwards the young man was
forced to make a confession to the
young lady. He had told her about
feeling" that she was coming up in
another car on another day. He knew
that she was coming, and as the rum
bling and roaring of the car grew
nearer he was more and more curious
to see if his premonition was correct.
WELL" said he, that came right
along and l was as sure as could be
that the next instant 1 would turn
around and see you.'
"And then?" she asked.

bling and roaring and humping came

was al incident for which the COM
mander's superiors could patch up no
satisfactory excuse, and consequently
Butler had to be sacrificed. From COM
mander in chief of all the troops in
South Africa he was reduced TO plain
corps commander; and Field Marshal
Lord Roberts designated to assume
command of the troops already in the
field and those about to be sent to Natal
and Cape Colony. To make the British
position still stronger, as far as head
quarters is concerned, Gen. Lord Kitch-
ener, the hero Of Ehartoum and con-
queror of the SoEdan, was instructed to
join Lord Roberts as chief of staff.
WhEher Roberts, who is one of the
bravest men in the British service,
will succeed in invading and subiu-
eating the Boer republics remains to
be seen. Butler is as brave a man as
ever rode horse; yet he made a mis-
cradle failure, principally because he
had never had an opportunity to fight
a progressive, civilized foe. Roberts
is in the same position. All his vic

Especial Correspondence

AS was foreshadowed in these COL
umns several weeks ago, the govern
ment of Great Britain has been
forced, by recent events in South
Africa, to mobilize its entire reserve
and to call upon the volunteer corps of
the United Kingdom for service away
from home. Had anyone suggested
two months ago that such desperate
steps would be necessary to hold the
farmers of the two little Boer republics
in check he would have been written
down visionary or fool.
Surface observers forgot that the
Beers did not engage in this unfor-
tunate war for purposes of conquest,
but, as they firmly and honestly believe,
for the defense of their homes and their
liberty. A brave people actuated by
such motives-eyen though they NAV
be exaggerated-becomes an enemy not
TO be despised in any circumstances.
And when such patriotism is supple
mented by rare bravery, warlike skill
and complete military equipment it is
match for any power, no matter how
great, rich and powerful.
The British reverses at Ladysmith.
Stormberg, on the Modder river and at
Tugela ferry were not accidents. 1t
may be true, as some British authorities
assert, that they were due to the inef-
fectiveness of British artillery; but
even admitting this rather lame ex-
cuse each of the engagements men
toned proved the Boer leaders to be
more efficient generals than their Euro
pean antagonists. In every instance
the British troops walked deliberately

Matrimony on Small CAPITAL.

A Wilmington clergyman tells of Phila.
delphia couple who came to him to be mar
red one day. When they left the boat at the
Fourth street wharf in the city they had but
five dollars between them. Nevertheless, the
groom called a cab and ordered to be driven
to the city hall and then to the nearest min
lister. At the city hall he paid $3.50 for a
marriage license, which left $l40 to pay the
cabman and to fee the minister At the lat
ter's house the cabby demanded Sl.5O. The
the driver compromised on dollar, leaving
40 cents for the minister The groom, how.
ever, was not done buying, for he stepped in.
to nearby store and bought an envelope
for cent. In this he put the remaining SO
cents and after the ceremony handed it to
the minister. How the newly-married
couple got back to Philadelphia is mystery.

into strategic trap from which they
eNtricated themselves only after most
stubborn resistance and terrible loss.
The bravery and courage of the Brit
ish privates and subalterns cannot be
praised too highly. Their valor was
magnificent, but, like the gallant
charge at Balaklava, it was not war.
Hundreds of noble lives were wantonly
sacrifices TO the shortsighteDdness of
commanders who failed to take even or
oinary precautions against am mbuscades
and who conducted their campaigns
along the lines of semi-savage warfare.
One after the other of the British gen.
,erals-from White down to Methuen,
, ,Gatacre and Buller-had to learn that
there is a vast difference between fight
ing Indian mountaineers and savage
Arabs and standing up against a foe
who knows how to handle rapid fire
guns and is an adept at skill and trick
cry. The world now knows that these
generals have already sacrificed 5000
men in killed, wounded and captives to
become convinced of a fact which has
been patent for years to every war office
on the continent of Europe, but which
was denied and even ridiculed by every
British commander from Wolseley
down to the lowest general officer in
the pay of the British crown-the fact
that the Beers were fully prepared for
the struggle and had for years been
trained by European experts in the art
of modern warfare.
Mistakes in military operations are,
and always have been, looked upon as
crimes unless, perchance, accident con-
verted defeat into victory. Gen. Bull
Ter, whose arrival at Cape Town a few
months ago was hailed with Joy and pop
ular acclaim, met the enemy-and the
idol is shattered. The defeat at TugeIa

Kandahar. in 1880. He was at that
time commander of the British forces
in Afghanistan. In July he received
news of the defeat of Gen. Burrow
bv the redoubtable Ayoub Khan.
Roberts at once marched to the re-
lief of Kandahar and in a campaign
of three weeks wiped out the rebel
Inns Afghan army. On his return to
England he was the lion of the day.
He was presented with the freedom
of the city of London, thanked by
narliament and made baron of Kan
dahar and Waterford. Later he
served in Natal and the Transvaal and
commanded the troops in the Madras
presidency from 1881 to 1885, when
ne was elevated to the chief command
of all the forces in India-in which
post he was succeeded by Gen. White,
who is now bottled up at Ladysmith.
Lord Roberts, familiarly known to the
rank and file as "Bobs," is 6S years
of age. He was born at Cawnpore,
India, educated at Eton and Sand
hurst. and entered the army at 10,
going to Bengal. He served with dis
tinction through number of cam
paigns in Africa and India before
achieving his great fame at Kanda-
har, and during the Sepoy mutiny
earned the Victoria cross for saving
a number of men. Since 1895 he has
been in command in Ireland, post
next in Importance to that of COM
mander in chief. His opponents~and
they are not few-express grave
doubts as to his ability to conduct
brilliant campaign in South Africa,
and assert that his total inexperiepce
with civilized fighting methods will
lead to a repetition of reverses.
Gen. Lord Kitchener, Field Marshal
Roberts chief of staff, was made
baron of Khartoum in 1898 as re-
ward for his services in Soudan where,
as sirdar of the Egyptian troops, he
destroyed the power of Mahdism and
it's attendant evils. Gen. Kitchener,
who is now 40 years of age, entered
the army as lieutenant in 1871. Three
years later he joined the survey of
western Palestine under Capt. Conder.

THE LITTLE COT.

There was a cabin in a land
Covered by the Almighty's hand;
A savage cot 1t was, but He
Endowed 1t with His love for me;
And what was all that love? l wis,
The welcome of a woman's kiss!
1t was a savage cot-I say
But Love was minister each day;
And when the lonely twilight came
Twas Love that whispered sweet my
name!
So that said: What e'er 1 be.
1t is Gods hand that covers me"
It was Gods hand b.. for 10 you, now
There were sweet kisses on my brow
Such kisses as the rich might deem
The memory of golden dream
That passed, and was no more 20 be
But hers and Gods love covered me!
Behold! 1t was a dream; l knew
In many a garden roses grew;
That many a palace and dim cot
Knew that dear love which / knew not!
Yet still sing to hill and sea;
1T is Gods hand that covers me!'
