The pro-Boer pamphlet written last

m mister Of Holland, has been translat-

Kuper epeaks of the consequences to

behind her in Africa she would have
sown the seeds of a deep rancor, Of an
unspeakable repugnsnce, of an indies
tructible race-hatred, and these seeds
would shoot up. The determination
Of the Beers is unshakeable. Never will

..... In the irst war that should burst
on England, they would be the devoted
allies Of her enemy. There is the wound
from which England, unless she repent,
will bleed for whole century. To per-
severe in the beaten track OF violence
would undoubtedly be .the presage Of
the beginning Of the greatness Of Eng
land in point of power, Perhaps che

million. In the coming century, they
will reach three, four, five millions,

time and It's furnishings were corre-
spondingly expensive and elaborate.
In the center of Lafayette square
stands the equestrian statue of Gen.
Jackson, and it's history is told by
guides who know the struggle OF
Mills, the sculptor, to produce it.
Clustered around that square are
many houses made famous by his
toric happenings. On the north side
is the Decatur residence, in the Ii
brary of which the brave old commo-
dore died from wounds received at
Bladensburg in the duel with Com
modore Barron. Diagonally across
the street is the former home of w.
w. Corcoran, the philanthropist,
house subsequently occupied by Ban
croft, the historian; Senator Brice, of
Ohio, and Secretary of War Alger.
On the northeast corner of the
square is the Cosmos club house. 1t

him.
AT the corner of Eighteenth street
and New York avenue, which was
also part of the Burns estate, stands
the "Octagon, zone of the oldest resi-.
dences in this city, which was built
by Col. John Taylor in 1903, being
then surrounded by primeval forest.
This house was rendered to and occu-
pied by President and Mrs. Madison,
in 1914, after the white house had
been destroyed by British troops. For
two years it was de facto the execu-
tive mansion.
The capitol building having been
destroyed at the same time, a trio
of houses on capitol hill was rented
and fitted up for the use of congress-,
and has since been known as the "old
capitol" Subsequently this was
popular boarding house, and here
John c. Calhoun died. During the
civil war it was used as a military
prison.
No. 201 1 street, northwest, is a mas
sive home which was built by Senator
Douglas, of Illinois,; and there Douglas
said: "The adjournment of the con-
vention from Charleston to Baltimore
means disunion." After that, although
he made a splendid campaign for the
president against Lincoln, Douglas did
not expect to be elected. The last dis
tinguished occupant of this house was
Cardinal Satolli. On the same square
there is a handsome home which was
given to Gen. Grant by New York
friends, and there he lived until he
moved into the white house.
You should also see the former
residence of Salmon p. Chase, secre.
tary of the treasury, and chief justice
of the supreme court, whose daughter
Kate almost rivaled Dolly Madison in
beauty and grace as an entertainer.
That brilliant and happy home has
seen vicissitudes. 1t twas for number
of years popular boarding house, an
| then a club house. One block south of
it is the Webster law building; so
named because it was the last Wash
ington residence of the famous sena-
| tor-orator from Massachusetts. Near
| by, on the same street, is the hotel
home of Henry Clay, where the gifted
Kentucliian lived for more than score
of years, and where he died. His room
is preserved just as he left it. All of
these places are now far from the
fashionable residence section; but in
the days of their eminent occupants
they were in the center of the social
swirl, and within their halls were many
gatherings such as we now have in
newer walls, where youth and pleasure
meet to chase the glowing hours with
flying feet.
Modern Washington is interesting,
of course; but you will be entertained
and instructed by seeing the ancient
city of our new republic, and you must
surely see 1t some day.

tiniest powder-train would mean the
blowing up of this mill, and, it might
be, the blowing up of another and an
other by concussion.
All this young Dupont realized in a
single glance. Here would be an awful
disaster presently, and many lives i'm
periled, unless those falling firebrands
could somehow be kept off that roof.
To know this was to act. Millionaire or
not, peril or not, it was his plain duty
as a Dupont to fight those sparks;
and, without moments wavering, he
turned back and scrambled up the
bank.
"Come on, boys!" he cried. "Start
the bucket line" And a moment later
he was climbing to the roof of the
threatened mill. And there he did all
that a brave man can do; he stamped
out the falling embers; he dashed wa
ter again and again upon the kindling
fire as the men passed up full buckets;
and for time he seemed to conquer.
But presently the fire famed hotter,
the sparks came faster, and the water
came not fast enough. He saw-he
must have seen-that the struggle was
hopeless, that the mill beneath him
was doomed, that the explosion must
come soon. They called on him to save
himself. He shouted back an order
that they pass up more water, and
keep passing water.
The men below did their best, but it
was vain effort, for in those days the
roofs of powder mills were made of
pitch and cement-not of iron, as to-
day-and by this time the fire had eat
en- its way nearly through. Alexis Du-
pont, working desperately, stood there
with flames spreading all around him,
1t was plain to everyone that the min
utes of his life were numbered. Again
they shouted, and
The explosion came like an execu-
ton, and out of the wreck of it they
bore away his crushed and broken
body. The last thing he knew was that
he had played the game out fairly to
the end-he died like Dupont, said
the men.

TIT is easier to be superficial

Therefore it is that the superficial pre-

The first commandment of Scripture
was that man should toll and earn his

And that commandment is ignored

ert, because it is easier TO listen and
enjoy than to diligently inquire.
The majority of our own people
who visit the national capital carry
away with them only superficial ideas
concerning the seat of federal gov
ernment. The guides show them the
capitol, the Washington monument,
the executive departments, the Smith
sonian institution, the money vaults
of the treasury, and other points of
general interest; but they do not
show them the historical points of
interest. Consequently the visitors
depart without any information con-
cerning many most interesting places.
That is to say, the points which
ought to be of most interest to those
who realize that their national cap
ital city is becoming replete with
places of historic interest, just as the
ancient capitals of the world have
their places of historic pride.
The great men who made the nation
have all lived here, and their imprint is
still visible in one way or another.
Many houses are still standing which
have been their homes, and great
deal of interest fingers about these
ancient structures. OF these habita-
tions, whose very names recall so
many thrilling "reminiscences, not one
was so dear to the city's early his
tory as that little cottage which, un-
til it was razed by vandal hands,
stood on these grounds at the foot of
Seventeenth street. 1t was that
famous little cottage, the oldest
house in the city at that time, which
was built by the Scotchman, Davy
Burns, over 140 years ago.
In this modest cabin, which stood
in the depths of a great forest that
once bordered the Potomac at this
point, Gen. Washington used to come
Burns" in relation to the purchase OF
his land, which was included in the
site of the federal city"
With the commissioners who were
appointed to lay out the city the willy
little Scotchman would not confer
and it was only through the persist.
ence of Gen. Washington, and by
threats, that he was induced to give
up his land at all. At last, however
he yielded, and the beautiful north
western section of the city now
stands on his farm. Davy Burns
