How He Knew.

A ragman who was gathering up
wornout clothing in the country pur-
chased pair OF discarded trousers at
u farmhouse and remarked to the man
of the house as he paid for the stuff he
had bought:
II see, sir, that you are about to lose
your land on a mortgage"
"Guess you are right" said the dis
couraged looking farmer, but will you
tell me how the Sam Hill you found
that out?"
Easy enough said the cheerful
ragman as lie settled back on the seat
Of his peddling wagon. II notice that
these old pants are completely played
out so far as the part Of 'em you sat
down on is concerned, but they show
mighty little wear anywhere else."--

cation of the person addressed The
Inscription bears evidence of having
been written by childish hands ana
the mail carriers are inclined to believe
that the misslvcs are placed In the

ing upon tiptoe.

WITH EARS TO THE GROUND.
British Waiting to Hear of the Fall
of Johannesburg.

London, May 3O.-As Lord Roberts
has heretofore always fulfilled his PIE
dictions, it is taken for granted here
that the British marched into Jo-
hannesburg at noon Indeed, reports
are current that kilograms have al
ready been received announcing the
fact, and the serious part of the cam-
paign from the military point of view
is regarded as over. Any prolonged
defense of Pretoria is considered high
ly improbable, and many military men
anticipate that Gen. French will cap
ture the Transvaal capital within a
day or two by a sudden and unex-
pected move.
Public interest centers largely n
President Kruger, his capture or es-
cape. The occupation of Pretoria
would be largely robbed of it's value
in the estimation of the British, If
Dom Paul were still at large and able
to keep alive the dying enbers of war.
