IN TERROR OF A DRAFT.
The Extraordinary Failing of an
Otherwise Thoroughly HUI
man Person.

Lord Blessington, the husband of the
celebrated countess of Blessing ton, had
a horror of a draft. He was able
Count d'Orsay used to declare de-
tect a current of air caused by the key
being left crossways in the keyhole of
the door. He and his wife and a youth
were one day walking on the banks of
the Thames. The boy, skipping back
ward and forward, went several times
dangerously close to the edge of the
bank.
''TaI1e carei Take care!" cried Lord
B1essington, exhibiting a degree of So
licitude most unusual where another
person was concerned.
''For heavens sake, mind what you
are about, boy, or you'll certainly fall
into the river!''
After two or three repetitions of his
alarm in this fashion for the lad, Lady
Blessington, losing patience, said: "Oh.
let the boy alone; if he does fall into
the water he swims like a fish,
''Yes, yes" said his lordship, in in
jured tones, ''that's all very well; but
what about me? I shall catch my death

become convinced of 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 croEn-the fact
that the Beers were fully prepared for
the struggle.
Mistakes in military operations are,
and always have been, looked upon as
crimes unless, perchance, accident con-
verified 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 Tugela
ferry, near Colenso, which resulted in
loss of 1, 100 men and number of guns,
was an 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 Kiteh-
amer. the hero Of Khartoum and con-

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 a visionary or a 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 northeastern though they may
be ggerated-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
a 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

| Macs, a portrait-painter of Amster-
dam, once visited Jordaens of Antwerp,
an assistant of Rubens, and successful
as historical and a1legorieal painter.
| On Macs expressing his admiration of
the Antwerp artists paintings, Jor-
daens asked: What subjects do you
| paint?"
Il paint portraits answered Macs.
81 pity you most sincerely, brother
| artist said Jordaens, for being
| martyr to that branch of painting;
where, let your merit be ever so great,
you must suffer the whims, the folly
and the ignorance of both men and
women
The Antwerp painter spoke from eX-
perience, for he occasionally painted
portraits. Allan Cunningham, in his
Lives of British Painters tells story
of Copley, the father of Lord Chancel
| lor Lyndhurst, which reveals what
portrait-painter endures from the van
ity and eccentricity of his sitters.
A certain man had himself, his wife
| and seven children painted by Copley
in family piece.

wife-this one is my second.''
But replied the artist, ''she is dead;
what can I do? She must come in as an
angel"
"Oh mono angels for me; she must
come in as a woman"
The portrait was added, but several
| months elapsed before the man again
called at Copley's studio, and when he
did, strange lady held on to his arm.

my third, and she has come to have her
likeness included in the family picture"
The painter introduced the likeness
of wife number three, and the man eX-
pressed himself satisfied with the por-
traits of his three spouses. But the lady
demonstrated; never was such thing
| heard of; but her predecessors must go.
The artist painted them out, then the
man disputed the price. Cop1ey sued
him, and his son, the future Lord Lynd-

gaining his fathers cause.-Youth's

into a strategic trap from which they
extricated 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 shortsightendness of
commanders who failed to take even or
binary precautions against ambuscades
and who conducted their campaigns
along the lines of semi-savage warfare
One after the other of the British gem
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
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
