Joubert, possibly from his French an
cestry, is a man of a certain polish,
and can be Indirect when policy re
quires Cronje is blunt and always to
the point. His craft is that of the hunt
er, and thinly DISCUSSES the force that
awaits only the opportunity.
Gen. Cronje is greatly admired by
the Beers. They think Joubert is a
wonderful tactician and organizer, but
they love CrOnje, the silent man, of sud
den and violent action. He is no mans
friend. His steel-gray eyes peer out
from under huge, bushy brows. He
never speaks unless necessary, and
then in the fewest words. He never
asks a favor. When time for action
comes he acts, and that with the force
OF fate. and with no consideration for
himself or his men.
Cronse is soldier and nothing else.
He hat~s form. He hates politics,
though born leader of men. He was
strongly urged to oppose Kruger for the
Presidency in 1898, but he would not.
He viii have none of any rule but that
OF the rifle. He despises cities. He Is a
man OF the welt.

An Ancient Coin,

One OF the priced curios of the Phil
adelphia mint is Il coin which is 1000
years old, and which was coined at the
ancient mint of that other Philadelphia
of the far east mentioned in the Bible.
1t is still in good condition, and the in
scription is perfectly legible. The de-
sign on the face of the coin bears a
striking resemblance to the Goddess of
Liberty of our own currency, and I'M
derneath is the one word, Demos"
which means the people" On the
other side is the figure of Diana, with
her bow arched, and the inscription,
Diana, Friend of the Philadelphians."
When this coin was struck off Philadel-
phia was the most important city OF
LYDIA.

hours in the steaming saddle. nowse

day demeanor.
Since then Cronje has received seat
in the Executive Council, and is now
a parsonage with a substantial state
salary: but the man is in no way
changed, He is as individual as Kru.
ger, strong in the faith of his own gen
eralship as Joubert."

down In the near future and erect in it's
stead commercial palace.
These are a few of the things he has
done for Chicago. He has never de-
sired political honors, never sought
them. He might have won honOrs in
this field, but they were not to his lill-
ing. He has preferred to be the simple
business gentleman, eager for the vel
fare of his city building always for the
public veal as well as his own good.
His later years are spent in the midst
of artistic surroundings of his ex-
quisite home. There has always been
in his nature that vein of sentiment
which never desired that Chicago
should be of the material only. Parks.
boulevards, art treasures, music have
to him always seemed as much a legiti-
mate part of the being of the city as
mercantile establishments and steam
roads. He has enriched Chicago in
this direction also.

Sculpture should Face south.

A group of sculpture should never
front to the north. from which point II
is always viewed under unfavorable
conditions, as the strong southern light
is trying to the eyes and the features of
the figures are in such deep shadows
that they can hardly be seen-certainly
not to advantage. Facing the south the
conditions are all reversed. Such mis-.
takes, 1t may be added, are rarely made
by artists, but sometimes by the direct
ing authorities. A case In point Is the
statute OF Penn, surmounting the City
Hall In Philadelphia, which Is far too
high and faces the wrong way.

STAMP TAX REGULATIONS.
Mixed DRINKS Must bear stamps Al.

Dubuque. July 2T-Sellers Of mixed
drinks must hereafter affix war tax
stamps to their goods. The Internal
revenue department has received spe-
citic instructions from Washington to
this effect. This means when you or

a war tax stamp.
Following are the instructions re-
ceived from Washington:
Cocktails and other mixed drinks can
no more be prepared in advance OF a
demand for them unless the United
States government is paid the regular
tax This rule means that the custom
of making mixed drinks and filling
small bottles preparatory to selling can
no longer be practiced. The dealer must
wait until a customer asks for a mix
ture of drink. Then he may take the
spoon and jigger and prepare 1t. This
rule applies tc the making of mixed
drinks in quantities of less than five
gallons.

Many local liquor dealers smiled
when asked their opinion in regard to

liquor dealer when a man comes
into our place and orders drink, we
prepare it then and there. The ruling
will not affect us in the least. ! don't
think there are any places in town
where mixed drinks are prepared in
bottles. In every saloon in Dubuque,
