storie. From south Africa.

In his article in Scribner's on Pretoria
in War Time" r. H. Davis tells some
curious stories Of the Beers. He says that
curing a reconnaissance from Ladysmith
and when the burghers were firing upon
them, couple Of deer ran from the hills
back of the Bosr position Instantly al
most every burgher wheeled about and
opened fire on the deer, the English max
ing consid advance during the d.
version. The war which drives the Eng
lish crazy in London. makes the Dutch
men yawn in Pretoria. They go on fight
ing because they have to, but they would
much rather hunt Mr.. Davis gives some
extraordinary figures as to the disparity
OF forces engag ed. A kopje would be held
securely by 10 or 20 men. At Spion kop
the attack was made by 40 Beers. An
Engl sh colonel surrendered, and when
the little band CT Beers emerged from
cover he threw down the white flag and
cried, NO, well not surrender" and fired.
Such an incident on the other side would
have provoked a great explosion of wrath
and contempt in London. but the Beers
said TRANQUILITY that this treachery was
probably a mistake. Mr.. Davis concludes
that in actual battle the proportion of
Beers TO English has varied from to 20
to l 10 20, and he adds that the probable
results If the Beers had been in force is
something the nations next meditatng GO
ing to war with magazine rifles should
weigh deeply.

The Martyrs of Pekin.

s. z. Kiser in the Chicago Times-Herald.
The little one looks in her mothers ewes
While the wild mob hows without:
"Oh, why do they starve us?'' the little
one cries,
And what is the trouble about?
What have we done, that they seek us
to-day,
Vowing to capture and torture and STAY
And why do the nations let us wait
In hunger and danger and doubt?
And why do we hide?" the child de-.
msnds,
And what have the guards to fear.
Since they that besiege are but savage
bands,
Armed with the bow and spear
Since they chat defend us have deadly
guns;
Why do they fee from the clamoring
ones
Why do they close and bar the gates
Why are we starving here?"
I'VE have sold them guns" the mother
replies,
"Of the best that we have in store,
And our agents are seeking to civilize
And teach them and sell them more.
Forever, where Civilization goes
She hurries to arm and equip her foes
With the engines of war she builds
In the shops where her fires roar"
And why do the nations hesitate?"
The child exclaims aghast:
why must we suffer and starve and
walt,
And when shall the siege be past?
Have not the Powers been made aware
or the fate we fear and the woes we
share
And Will they not send their ships
With conquering hosts, at last?"
AT last!-ah, yes;'Lthe mother signs,
They Will come to avert the wrong
They will come when the last defender
lies
Dehled by the savage throngi
But ere they come they must take the
map
And mark for Briton and Russ and jap
And Gaul and German the zone
That to each shall, at last, belong!'
on the walls hang many martyrs head.
Waiting the reckoning day!
Where they fell, the ground is aecursed
and red,
And the stains will not wear await
lie
The bones of women and children cry
For the vengeance the nations owe
Xhe debt that the world must pay.

AN AMERICAN GIRL.

One seldom, II ever. sees the name of

of New York, and entertain and be en-

modest to desire the limelight, The tinsel

WHAT'S THERE IN 1T FOR HANNA,

A Washington correspondent who has
a wide acquaintance with public men.
wants TO know what there L. in politics
for Senator Hanna that leeds him 10 IN
dertake the management of a great cam
palgn from which there Is nothing for him
TO gain, and which, in all proba bility,
will shorten his life. Il is a fact that
ne is not as strong a man as he was IN
1896 He is a great sufferer from rheu-
matism, and he is no longer young. There
is no doubt that he has spent a great
deal Of money in politics, and has jeo2-
ardized his health. He has received very
little praise for the part he has taken
in party work. even from his own party,
while he has been viciousiy attacked and
cartooned by his political opponents The
only reward he has received for his par
tizan zeal and services, is the seat which
ne occupies in the Senate, and there are
some who believe that he bought that.
1t is certain that his party did not give
4; to him with the unanimity that makes
public man feel that his services are
appreciated.
AS a matter OF fact Senator Hanna gets
very little for the sacrifices ne makes for
his party-thet is. very little in the way
of political honors or pecuniary rewards.
But he gets what is appreciated much
more highly by him. namely, power. He
is one of those men who like
power. Senator Hanna knows that if
the Republicans should be successful in
the campaign this year, he would not get
an office. 1t is doubtful If he would ac-
cept a cabinet position II it were offered
to him. He would much rather be in tho
Senate. But the entire country knows
that he is the real power at the White
House. He is consulted about all import
ant matters. Il is doubtful II the Presl-
dent would make an important appoint
ment without first consulting him, and It
is pretty certain that he would not
adopt a policy that would commit the
party to new line Of action without get
ting the Senator's approval of IT,
While therefore there is nothing In pol
tiles for the senator that would appeal
strongly to the average man, there is some
thing in it that appeals strongly to Sem
ator Hanna. He feels that while the Re-
publican party is in power he Is the man
that is running the government-that he
is directing the destinies Of a nation of
seventy millions of people. Power is
sweet 20 him, and it is all the compensa-
ton he wants for the hard work he does
for his party. From his point Of view,
therefore, there is good deal in politics

Ex-Governor Stone of Missouri tells a
story of an experience he had with wes-
tern politician whom he met on the train
on his way from the Kansas City conven-
ton says the Washington correspondence
of the Baltimore American. Hot and worn
out by the week spent in the Missouri
town, Ex-Governor Stone sought rest and
quiet in seat in the car next to an open
window. Just before the train started a
typical Westerner got in and took the seat
beside him. The train had hardly started
before this man began to try to open
conversation with Ex-Governor Stone. and
began to talk politics. The Democratic
leader from Missouri had had enough pol
itics during the convention to last him
for some time, and he did not encourage
his companion TO talk But, nevertheless,
the man ran on in his converse ton, and
from his talk Ex-Governor Stone soon
found that he was a great admrer of
James G. Blaine.
Did you ever see Mr.. Blaine?" asked
the Westerner, and when Mr. Stone re-
piled that he had, his companion said:
The greatest disappointment of my life
was that never saw the great man from
Maine. I'd just give anything in this
world if could have seen him walk down
those halls of Congress. wearing that
white plume
Governor stone was so astonished at
this remark that he reused himself long
enough TO turn to his companion and say:
why, Mr. Blaine never wore white
plume"
But this seemed to make the Westerner
indignant, and he replied:
"Oh, yes, he did. Did you never read
about him being the 'plumed knight?'
Why, l have heard that whenever he
walked down those halls of Congress he
not only wore white PLANE, but carried
spear, just like any other knight"
This settled it, so far as Ex-Governor
Stone was concerned. and he settled back
in his seat to let the man babble on In his
talk unheeded

WILL TowNE wITHDRAwf

There appears to be some doubt as to
whe her Mr.. Towne viii withdraw as the
Pcpulist candidate for Vice President. He
is willing. but both Democratic and Pop
u ist LADDERS are in doubt whether II
would be wise for him to do so. It seems
hat great many Populists are Directing
10 his withdrawal They insist that the
Popuhst party ought to have presenta-
ton on the ticket, and point out that un-
less Mr.. Towne remains on the Populist
ticket there is danger that the electoral
vote If Nebraska. Kansas and The two
Dakotas will go TO the Republicans. The
indifference of the Fusion Populists TO
the ticket nominated at Kansas City and
he large att ndance at he convention OF
the Middle-of- the Road Populists of Ne
braska, has created a doubt of the wis
dom of the policy of having Mr. Towne
withdraw.
II seems to be a difficult matter to sat
isfy the PoDulists. They insist upon hav-
ing everyth ng. They are strong in only
two or three states. and yet they are act
ing as II they were able TO control a doz-
en- states. A double-tailed ticket will COM
plicate matters greatly. and will weaken
the ticket in many parts of the country.
That fact, however. does not appear TO
have any weight with them. The fusion
Populists are threatening to go over to the
the-Road Populists IL they are
not permitted to have their way. and If
the dispa tches received from Lincoln are
correct the chances are that Mr.. Towne
will remain on the Populist ticket

AFRAID OF the BoER sEyrIMr,Nr

1t seems that he Republicans are afraid
that the sentiment in favor of the Beers
is going TO have an important bearing
on the presidential election When they
held their National Convention they did
not ray much attention to It, think ng it
would not amount to much. Now, how
ever, there is evidence that they are busy
trying to counteract it, A statement was
sent out from Washington the other day,
that the United States Bureau Of Educa-
ton was distributing a pamphlet con-
tanning Englands case against the South
African republics. This pamphlet is sent
to teachers in all parts of the country
The idea is probably that the teachers,
having read it. will spread the views set
forth therein throughout their respective
communities.
1t is said that the attention OF Repre-
sentative Richardson. chairman OF the
Democratic Congressional Committee
has been called 10 the matter and that
he has taken steps TO find out by what
authority the pamphlet is being distrib-
uted by the government. Prof Harris,
chief Of the Bureau OF Education, Is in
Europe. but 1t is thought probable that he
gave the order for its distribution before
his departure. or course he did not take
such action unless directed to do so by
some one higher in authority than him
self. Doubtless the document is being scat
tered broadcast over the country by the
order Of some one who has close relations
with the White House 1t is an outrage
that the people have to be taxed TO pay
for the distribution of partisan, campaign
literature.
