A Terrible Struggle Win a Wolf.


 An inhabitant of La Chabloulie. $ small village in Dordogne, France, had a terrible struggle with a wolf one or two nights ago. The man was awakened by bowling round his house and understood that wolf had come, as they frequently do when driven by hunger, to devour the watchdog. He took his gun and went out, when the wolf immediately came bounding to- wards him. Nj. Marcher fired both bar- rels of his gun into his assailant. which, nevertheless. still sprang at him. Finally ne got the barrel of his gun into the brute's mouth, and, press- ing it to the ground, finished 1t by kicks. -rEe struggle lasted over ten minutes, and had another wolf been present matters would have gone hard with M. Marcher

Six Months so cents,

George" Soon after his coming he
began to pay marked attention to
we'll this daisy, thinking, no doubt that
his fiashy appearance would dazzle our
country maid. At first it seemed so,
but the first effects soon died out and
his attention became obnoxious to our
little violet, and when at last after
most passionate proposal she coldly
gave him the mitten.
At last, things reached such state
that "Bones" considered his life at
stake to be seen after dark, and having
received warning to depart, he left for
parts unknown. It afterward became
known that his sweetheart offered to
accompany him, but not being able
financially to open an establishment at
that time, he thought it better to wait
and see what the future had in store.
We next heard of "Bones" on the
return of visit made to New York
City by "Slim George" where he had
met "Bones" and extended the "glad
hand" and had been taken to see the
sights and paid dearly for the same by
loss of all his valuables, for he re-
turned to our town riding the bump.

When he reached me I turned my
head to one side and looked at him
and he instantly snatched a gun from
his belt and struck me an awful whack
over the head and then with con-
temptuous and dry little snicker,
turned to his confederates and said:
eff this fellows pockets are as empty
as his head we will not find money
enough in them to buy a wrestling
jacket for Junebug."
And he was right, for just at that
particular time 1 did not have a cent
in my clothes. He took particular
pains and searched every pocket, but
found nothing but watch and it was
a dollar Waterbury. When he dis
covered that fact thought he would
surely shoot me, but he contented him.
self by throwing the Waterbury at my
head, which ducked and it struck the
wall and broke in hundred pieces.
After they had searched and relieved
every man in the room of his money
and valuables that they considered
worth taking, the trio backed out of
the door, mounted their bronchos and
started for the foothills at break
neck speed. A posse of citizens was
quickly organized and gave pursuit,
but all to no avail; the trio escaped.
Now never expected to meet either
of these three men again, but fate
would have it otherwise. The first face
1 recognized after my arrival here was
that of the Lilliputian bandit at whose
hands was made to suffer such indig-
mites few years before.
He don't wear big hurrah hat now,
and since his whiskers has been assas-
sinated he looks more like two straws
stuck in mud puddle than a bandit.
Watch him as he cuts up and down
the frst-grade dining room with the
big growler in hand. SPUD.

ARTICLE w.

Those of you who may have favored
me with your undivided attention in
reading the three previous papers
chronicled in the columns of The
MIRROR, purporting to give the Boer
view of their rights and contentious
regarding the Transvaal, l trust, will
appreciate the fact that on account of
space and the monotony that long
story usually causes, I am unable to
give to you more concise history of
those brave Dutch, their manners and
customs, but will now conclude the
series with a few political phases of
the situation in the Transvaal.
We had had long drawn argument,
Mr.. Steyn and 1, upon the justice of
compelling the Outlanders to bear the
burden of taxation and at the same
time deny them voice in framing the
laws of the land.
First, it is necessary that you know
the conditions of these laws, to better
enable you to grasp their meaning and
purpose. The laws of the Transvaal
have been framed with view to pre-
vent political disruption by the foreign
element and as defiance to the Cape
government; or, in other words, Eng
land, whose possessions form nearly a
complete boundary to the TransvaaI.
Now the too ardent lover of liberty
will say Of their laws, "why such
narrow-minded bigotry was never
heard of as these Beers force upon
mankind"
Let us investigate the truth of the
assertion. The Outlanders. We de-
mand equal franchise; we pay ninety
per cent of the taxes that maintain
your institutions, to which we can
derive no benefit; we demand the study

Slim Georges Escapade.

A recent article in The MIRROR
relating the contributors experience
with "Bones" recalls wildly to my
mind the little village where "Bones''
officiated as pedagogue, for he was a
friend of mine and ever found in me
a ready listener and confdant of both
peace and war, and in justice to him I
feel it behooves me to set him right
before the public.
There are always two sides to a
story. You have been entertained by
one side; now please pay the same
attention to the other. At the time
"Bones' taught the young idea to shoot
in our village, there had recently ar
rived family from the United States.
Among this family was a son. Now
this son was one of the most ungainly,
long, lank specimens of humanity ever
produced in the lanky land of America.
Around neck which would have been
considered godsend to rubber COM
pany, be wore collar so high that had
it been seen on dressing table it
would have been taken for cuff. He
wore clothes of so loud hue that a
zebra would have blushed had it been
held up for comparison. His crown
ing point was his feet; always arrayed
in pair of patent leather pumps, 12
in size. He was called George by his
mama, but known as "Slim" by his
associates, and he it was who caused
the downfall of "Bones."
1t happened thus. For some time
previous to the arrival of the j. fami-
ly, "Bones" had been keeping company
with very estimable young lady and
withal a beauty of the blonde type, a
slight, petite, golden haired, blue-eyed
darling, whose name was-well never
mind, it was lovely name anyway.
1t had been rumored lately that
"Bones'' was saving up and we might
expect wedding soon, but fate inter
fered in the person of the lanky "Slim

stood beside raging stream.
MethOught gazed the waters O'er
And saw SailbOat far from shore.
Adown the rivers black expanse,
1 saw the SailbOat'S swift advance,
Then looking up the roaring stream
| saw a milldam in my dream.
With age the dam was weak and old;
The mountain stream it could not hold,
The rushing waters would not stay.
With irving grOan the dam gave way,
And then with sound of gurgling hoarse,
Adown the rivers winding course,
In seething pools and rumbling roar
The maddened waves in anger tore.
Then on the rivers rapid rise
The sailbOat quickly did capsize.
l waited there in keen suspense
My soul within me burned intense.
Then unto me it thus did seem,
That struggling in the mountain stream,
With frightened eyes and sunny hair
L saw a maiden fresh and fair.
ASIDE my coat In haste cast
And swan a boiling whirlpool past,
And then with steady sailors stroke
Defied the waves that round me broke
And then a solemn oath swore 1
To save that maiden or I'd die.
My strength seemed failing, failing fast.
got her safe on shore at last.
Then on the rivers sunken strand,
A model for the sculptors hand,
With all the charms of young girlhood
In slender grace that maiden stood.
Now this is all have to say
The iron legs of my bed gave way.
Like canOn's roar in battle clash
hit the steel floor with crash.

Should England again try to wrest
our homes and land from us, we have
no more land to open up for settle
ment. We came here to stay, and stay
we will though every drop of Boer
blood be sacrificed in our endeavor to
protect our land. England can have
our gold, but she must not rob us of
our conscience. We may be wrong in
theory, but we are certain of our legiti-
mate ownership of this our beloved
Transvaal, if God be just. PSEUDO.

Murphy's Nervous System.

Somehow or other my old friend
Murphy got the idea that he was pos
sessed of a nervous system. This was
after he married my girl in st. Angus
tine. Perhaps she had something to
do with it. Some day will tell you
little something about their married
life. Murphy is a pretty good sort of a fell
low when he does not get to riding a
hobby, as for instance English civiliza.
tion, modern Christianity, or worse
than all, his nervous system, which T
started to tell you about.
AS 1 said, l never could understand
how he got the idea into that Irish
noddle of his, but it was there and
with vengeance.
He came to me one day the picture
of health; he was simply strength per-
sonified, but he had sort of worried
look on that handsome Irish face of
his.
"My boy" he said, "my nervous sys-
tenn is all run down; what'll 1 do for
it ?"
1 simply gasped; was paralyzed.
"Your what ?" l said.
"My nervous SYSTEM" he said, earn.

Well I'll be hanged if that isn't the
best l ever heard. Why, you old
chump, you are about as nervous as

swell that's all right, but am going
to write to the E. M. Co. and get their
books and circulars"
Sure enough he did and got bushel
of rot which he read carefully and
came to the conclusion that he was
doomed man. He sent for their medi-
cine and took it faithfully. L advised
him to try DR.. Q's electric treatment,
or DR.. LIS magnetic treatment, and
finally told him that if he did not let
up on his nervous system I would have
him up before the Probate Court to be
examined as to his sanity
| He made life burden for himself,
his friends and also his wife, and I
realized that the only remedy was to
get him astride another hobby, so
"Queen" and l put our heads together
to find one.
After much thought we hit upon
something which we hoped would do.
| sent for book on the transmigra-
tiOn of souls and asked him to read it
and let me know what he thought of
the theory.
He was interested at once and forgot
| that there ever was such thing as a
nervous system. He claims that the
souls of the dead enter into animals.
Well, perhaps he is right. Who knows?
Others believe it and it is safer for him
than nervous system. KIsMIT.
