countrymen as Slim Peter"
who died last week of a
stomach complaint, was a
noted character. He was
born about 6S years ago. He
descended from an Old Hugue.
moi family which settled in
South Africa many years
ago. Gen. Joubert was born
in Cape Colony, but was
taken by his parents when !
years old TO the Orange Free
State. where be was taught
from early childhood to hate
the British, He is described
as being utterly fearless. OF
schooling he had but little,
and never saw a newspaper
until he was 19 years old.
Gen. Joubert was the most
celebrated fighter in South
Africa, and was looked upon
as the country's savior in the
present war. He was scar.
red by many a wound from
English bullets, yet he was
sturdy of frame, keen of per.
ception and withal crafty as
the Indian.
An anecdote is told of the
general which shows Kru.
; gar's diplomatic powers,
which stood out in distinct
contrast to Ioubert, who was
essentially a lover of powder.
