THE R0ER AND THE BRIT0N.
A Fine Lecture Last Night by Frank R.
Robertson

Mr.. Frank r. Robertson, the we'll known
lecturer, delivered a highly Interesting
lecture at the Academy last evening be-
fore the Richmond Lyceum on ''Boer and
Briton." Those who expected a partisan
lecture were doomed to disappointment,
for in the speakers opening words he de-
clared that he was neither a Brton nor
a Boer-merely an American citizen.
Mr.. Robertson gave what appeared to be
d very fair and unbiased view of the sit
uatiOn One sentence he was all BOer,
the next all Briton. Tommy Adkins, he
said, was a brave fighter, the English
general more brave, if possible, but the

they lost their bearing.
The Beers, he declared. never had "a
leader in time of war. When peace
reigned there was a commander, but war
was another thing, and he fought the
way he knew best
Tommy Adkins was fighting for his flag
and for glory; the Bocr for much more,
for liberty. his home, his wife, his all.
But then EnSland's victory meant civili-
cation, education and eXpounding the
theory of the brotherhood of man.
Mr.. Robertson said he had for sixteen
years been travelling all over the coun-
try, but in no lana, among no people,
had there ever been such slavery, such
serfdom as in the Transvaat. The hatred
Of the Boer for the black man was un-
heard of and their cruelties to them past

Mis- Mistake Caus I'd Waierviiie Spectators
No End o! Trouble.

A item about Il country stage driver
in the press recalls Il humorous Incl
don't that occurred in Natcrville some
.iplt or ten years ago in which a stage
driver. from the rural districts took Il
nroninent part. An auction sale had
heeu advertised and quite a number OF
gentlemen who were always on the
Iookout for bargains in real estate had
gathered at TIE appointed spot. The
property in question was II blacksmith
shop situated in land adjoining the
common and the land itself. a very
choice location. Mr.. Carleton was the
auctioneer and he took his seat in Il
doubled seated wagon left outside the
shop while the horse was receiving new
shoes within.
Among the gentlemen i'll attendance
were noticed Reuben Foster. the first
mayor of Waterville. Frank Thayer.
for many years postmaster. and Henry
GRAY all of whom dealt more or less
extensively in real estate. 1t was no
ticed tnat on this occasion these gem
tlemen did not bid against each other
and il was generally understood that
they intended to purchase the property
on shares. The trio had expected to
make the bidding lively and IS they
were not antagoniStiCally inclined the
bidding languished after the bid of s.
800 was made by one of the syndicate,
although this sum was considered far
below the real value of the property.
Auctioneer Carleton stood up in the
wagon and pounded the dasher with his
whip while he pleaded for higher bids.
Why. it is shameful that this fine
and useful property should so for any
such figure" he shouted. 1T is the
trade of a life time. Now won't some
body give ?s?''
As Mr.. Charleton was making his ap-
peal in drove a stage from an outly-
ing town and the driver seemed touch
cd by the words oc the auctioneer. Mr..
Carleton repeated his story ana the
Jehu shouted %" ''2S.'' quickly re-
sponded one Of the triumvirate and
from that port the bidding ran rapid
ly up To a." when there was a pause.
Don't stop there. gentlemen called
Mr. Carleton. This property is dmpiy
worth, $4,000 and more. Raise the bid
a hundred dollars gentlemen
As Mr.. Carleton spoke those nearest
the stage driver noticed that Individual
stageer as though he had been shot.
He then tOttered forward to the wagon
and held a brief but animated coilouuy
with the aucticneer ut the conclusion
of which Mr.. Carleton raped for at
tention and said
There has been u slight misuuGc.'-
standing here. This gentleman thought
was selling the wagon which he Wis.r-
I'd for his stage route and his las- !,i,l
meant So rather than S340o. / snall
