Gain BY Kruger's Absence.

When Kruger left South Africa for
Europe it was assumed that he had
given up the struggle and was seeking
to escape with his family and fortune
to a haven of safety. 1t is quite evil
dent now, however, that he visited
Europe in the belief that he could do
more for the Boer cause there than by
remaining in the Transvaal and fur
nishing an objective for the movements
of the British armies. 1t is also evil
dent that before he left he had made
arrangements for continuance of the
war under able deputies. The Boer
commands move with greater freedom
in the absence of Kruger than they
would if they had to guard his person,
and the British, with their deadly su-
perior force, are put at disadvantage,
for they have no objective, and move
from garrisoned towns only in response
to the reported movements of the Boer
ces.-Philadelphia P'oltc Ledger.

Truthfulness at West Point.

Another thing which speaks volumes
for the academy is the unanimous tes-
timony of the cadets themselves. Ev-
erybody who knows anything about
West Point knows the care which is
taken to enjoin absolute truthfulness
upon the future officers. No other sin
is more unforgiv:ngly regarded than
falsehood. The fact that Cadet Booz
was convicted of this did more to lower
him in the consideration of his class
mates than any OF his other acts. Keep
ing this in mind, it should be observed
that the sixty-eight members of Booz's
class have agreed exactly in all their
testimony, and have been corroborated
by every officer and other witnesses
examined. Ii is impossible to believe
tt at these sixty-eight young men would
falsify their evidence when appearing
before a court of which they have been
taught such high regard.-Louisville
Courier-J ournal

A TWELFTH NIGHT SUPPER.
Revival of an Old misunderstanding
King and Queen of Festivities.

Revival of an Old misunderstanding
King and Queen of Festivities.
The old custom of celebrating
Twelfth night Jan. 81 is again being
revived and makes pleasing novelty
in the way of entertainments for the
New Year. says the New York Post
AS this is the festival of the bean
king beans should be largely used in
the decorations. In the dining room
festoons of them might hang from the
chandelier to the table. To use the lit
tie white beans they should first be
soaked in water overnight, strung while
wet, using a fine needle, then put away
for day, when they will again become
dry and hard. The supper may be sim
pie or elaborate, as the hostess wishes,
but the table should be lighted with
candles and the Twelfth cake given the
most conspicuous place. To avoid con-
fusion have the cake iced in two colors,
white and pink or white and chocolate,
the men taking the slices of one color,
the ladies of the other. When baking
the cake, place bean in one side and
pea in the other. Stick a straw In
beside each one, tying a colored thread
around one straw so that no mistakes
will be made The man who finds the
bean in his piece of cake will be the
king, while the queen will be the lady
who holds the pea.
After supper a mock court Is held,
when the king and queen receive the
homage of the company. At one end
of the room have a platform on which
are two chairs. Here the king and
queen must be crowned with appropri-
ate ceremony, placing upon their heads
crowns of cardboard covered with gilt
paper and having beads and spangles
sewed on. Very effective additions are
long capes of muslin trimmed with
broad borders of ermine Canton fan
mel marked with black paint. The
king should also hold u scepter, which
can be n short, round stick or cane GOV.
cred with gilt paper.
When the coronation Is over and the
king and queen are seated upon their
throne, the court should be presented.
Previous to this each guest should be
given a card showing who he Is to i'm
personate. Each card, cut and painted
to represent a bean, bears the name OF
historical or fictitious character or,
what Is more interesting that of some
celebrity of the present day. The her
aid, with a great flourish of his trum-
pet, will call out the name. with brief
tnt oil INN al
will greatly add to the merrlment.
The cards designating the places at
the supper table might be painted with
a cake, row of candles or string Of
peas and beans.

Newspaper Evidence.

Honor aud reputation are as much to
be trusted in the field of newspapers as
in the field of banking. The public
knows, if it wants to know, what news
papers are habitually accurate and
truthful and employ honorable, self-re-
specting reporters, and what are made
up of the gleanings of the gutter be-
cause some people like to consume the
gutter product. The Tribune reporter
who testified in the Gardiner hearing is
a careful, intelligent, gentleman, with
many years. experience. Gov. Roote-
welt knew him. as other public men
have known him, to be absolutely
truthful and unsensational, and his
testimony among those with power to
discriminate needed no confirmation.
The test of truth is not the profession
of the witness, but his character.

Court Etiquette In Spain.

The court of Spain is noted for the
everity of its etiquette, one king,
Philip ILL.,, being such a slave to it that
Ae died victim to its rules and regu-
lations. The story goes that upon one
occasion his royal highness sat before
the fire, which waXed hot and hotter.
The servant whose duty it was to shut
off the draft or at least to move the
royal chair, was not in attendance, and
the consequence was that King Philip
got too warm, and in the reaction
caught cold, from which he died.-In-
dianapolis News.

Off to London.

The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, or the
Hay Hay, or Pauncefote- Pauncefote,
treaty, as it might have been called,
according as one looked at the matter,
but which is now pretty largely the
Senate-Senate treaty, is on its way to
London.
In opposition to the view which the
English-American press, or the press
which is on principle, or lack of pin
ciple, agin' every hing exclusively
American, there is evidence that Eng
land will be better pleased with the
treaty as amended than she would have
been with the rejection of the original
compact. This amended treaty, soaked
with insult to Great. Britain and darby
dyed with disgrace to the United States,
day surrender to Pauncetote have
been frantically declaring, will un-
doubtedly be Hospitality entertained at
the British foreign office, as the friend
ly suggestion of what friendly power,
having many interests in common with
Great Britain but determined prop
erly to safeguard it's own individuai
rights and interests, with dignity and
frmness may insist shall be embodied
in treaty relating to the construction
and control of the canal from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
A great deal has been heard from the
journals which have been insisting up
on the ratification of the Hay-Hay
treaty without the change of a.phrase or
syllable, about the one man power,
about oossism and imperialism; but
there has not been exhibited grosser
instance of abject submission TO the
spirit of bossism or imperialism than
has been presented in this strenuous
insistence that the Hay treaty was the
embodiment of all wisdom on the SUBJ
ject with which it dealt, and without
cavil or question must be accepted in
its entirety by ninety other men among
whom are some OF the wisest, most ex-
perienced, most learned and most pa
triotic statesmen in all the wide repub-
lie. But more than two-thirds of these
men, without distinction of politics,
believed Secretary Hays work was de-
ficient in the protection it utterly neg
lected to provide for American rights
and interests, and, save. in one import
ant particular-the right TO fortity, ex.
pressed in unequivocal terms-they
proceeded to put into the treaty the
safeguards the secretary had left out.
And for the United States England will
have the increased respect the firm
but respe ctful insistence upon its in.
dividual rights and upon adequate pro-
lection of its individual interests in the
great waterway inevitably begets.

Concerning Pancakes.

A surprising, not to say alarming,
condition Of affairs is indicated by
poem by Bid Dudley, entitled "The
Pancake Season." printed in our es-
teemed Missouri contemporary, the st.
Joseph NelCS. We select the second
and third stanzas:
Delicious, thick an brownsh-
SIX or seven in pile
With good old country butter;
Don't 1t make a Teller smile?
Jus loses sight o. trouble
It'll make him want to cheer,
To see those steamin' pancakes
with the strip settin' near.
"of course, to other people,
For different folks have different tastes
Concerning things to eat;
But when Teller rises
He finds himself a.wishin'
He could do it all againl"
If this be true to ST. Joseph life, then
degeneracy has come upon Missouri.
and perhaps the entire West, in which
case the country entire may be going to
the dogs. The fellow who after eating
ten pancakes can't do it over again, and
even then repeat, will be a poor pillar
of the State. Bid Dudley should know
that many years ago when two young
men who obtained some distinction in
after life were together in the Harvard
law school, Richard Henry Dana, Jr.,
and William Maxwell Evarts, they
competed at the breakfast table one
morning IN pancakes. Evarts came out
second best, but he more than tripled
the standard set above for Missouri;
and we have never heard that either of
those gentlemen claimed the pancake
championship of New England.-New
YORK Sun.

Swear necessarily.

The Listener" of the Boston Tran
script, who recently visited Vermont
village, gives his impressions of it
thus:
can the men of the village--and, for
that matter, all the boys too-swore
almost necessarily in their converse
ton. The profanity seemed to be
instructive, commonplace, even neces-
sary. 1t had long since, through invar-
liable use, lost all its force for purposes
of emphasis. Oaths had become an
inseparabe part of every day and sim
Pile speech. If one citizen asks another
at what labor be is going to put in the
next day, neither the question nor the
answer can be expressed without pro-
family. This is perhaps outdoing the
forefathers, and may be counted sign
of degeneracy. So may the fact that
the neat little church in the town is
without minister, and seldom sees
any other services than those at funer-
ais. There is locally no interest in
the establishment of religious services"
"The Listener"is talented gentleman,
pleasing writer on many subjects, and
his column in the Transcript is prob
ably the best read of any part of that
very excellent paper, if not of any
other paper in New England. The
Listener" is Vermont boy, q native
of historic Newbury, in which, for its
natural charms and early associations,
he retains lively interest, like other
natives of the COX Bow" town whom
it would greatly distress if it should
turn out to be the Vermont village of
his somewhat lurid characterization.
Is there to be found here evidence of
the degeneracy which some observers
of the trend of things in Vermont
maintain is the existing condition in
large sections.of the. State-one conse-
quence of the drain of emigration,
which in turn is consequence of
causes all good Vermonters or friends
of Vermont deeply deplore?

IN CHINA.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 29.-The Chinese
newspapers here obi ect TO the proposed
peace terms. The Universal Gazette
considers hat the prince and officials
who are to be punished should be nam
ed. II is questionable whether Gen.
Tung Hu Hsiang is included among
those punishable; and 80 far hs Prince
Tuan is concerned it is well known that
the Chinese peace commissioners have
been instructed not 10 consent 10 any
punishment of any person of royal blood
exceeding Imprisonment.
Some of the native journals hold that
the pr essence of permanent legation
guard will render the Emperor's return
impossible because these would be
menace TO the court. "Chine," says
one of them, "would be poPerless to
suppress risings, because prohibited
from increasing her military strength;
and the powers, therefore, would re-
new hostilIies sgaip, and the people
would be moved down like hemp"
LONDON, Dec. 2S The proclama-
ton announcing the division of the
country around Pekin, Pao Ting Flu
and Tien Tsin into districts, placed
severally under the control of the diff
ferent military commanders has been
posted, according to dispatch to the
Morning Post from Pekin, in the Ger
man district only. 1t recognizes the
Chinese military and military and civil
governors, but makes no reference to
Count Won Waldersee. "Germany's
action" says the correspondent, lis
strange. She, formerly so severe, now
recognizes Chinese authority" The
largest district, the dispatch points
out, have been allotted to the British,
German and French troops.
