A BuSl, Woman.

Close to the WAGON We met bush
woman. ono of lndowyol,a people, re-
duced by starvation to the lnost enact
ated and pitiable condition. Her hus-
band had been killed by lions some days
before. though she herself had escaped
with her life. On her back and shout
ders were the marks wi , the same
lion had ripped away great strips of
flesh. Long clots Of blood had dried on
her body; the wounds had not even
been washed. l gave her some meat,
which she seized upon and at once ate
ravenously. The bones were almost
through her filthy skin her little beady
eyes set close together under low. re-
treating forehead, her fattened nose
and large protruding lips, concealing
what little chin she possessed gave her
look most uncanny and repellent.
Altogether more like an animal than
human being, she seemed to me the
lowest type of womankind that it has
ever been my fate to look on. There are
numbers of bushmen and their wives
who live in this miserable condition,
wandering through the veldt with no
other means Of subsistence than such
trash as wild roots and berries. Some
of the men have guns and ammunition,
and they spend their whole time in
shooting. When they kill buck within
reach of water ten miles-the
whole family congregates on the spot,
sits round the body and gorges itself
until every scrap of flesh and skin has
disappeared -Blackwood's Magazine

sides these he may command all the
men Of his own district in time Of war.
He also has the right of life and death
over his subjects For instance. few
weeks before we arrived in Jolo. Data
.Jokanine had occasion to execute one
of his followers. The man had been
intrusted with money belonging to the
dato The first time he came to his
chief and said:
"Oh. great and benevolent dato.

that 1t does not happen again"
Once more the retainer came. saying:
"Oh. great and benevolent dato. again
have l gambled away thy money. and
again beg thee. in thy great mercy. to
forgive me!''
This is the second time l have for
given thee" said Jok;hnine. but the
third time. warn thee. thou shalt die"
Yet again the unfortunate man re-
turned without the money be had COL

A KANSAN'S VIEW OF 1T
Valley Falls Man Is Confident They
Will Win.

Topeka, Aug. I. Thomas A. Ader-
hold, graduate of Washington Col
lege, passed through here today on his
way to Valley Falls, his home, from
South Africa, where for the past two
years he has been serving as asurgeon
in the Boer army. In speaking of the
Boer war, he said:>
II firmly believe that the Beers will
win. They will never surrender. That
much is certain. All stories of peace
negotiations without independence for
the Beers as basis must be set down
as false The Boer army numbers be-
tween fifteen and twenty thousand men.
The British have 250 900. If the Brit
ish take single man away from South
Africa, they are tied hand and foot,
They cannot conduct any offensive
operations with less than their present
force"
Aderhold was captured by the Brit
ish on April l, at the town of Nyl-
stroom. The British took every liv-
ing thing in the town and moved the
whole outfit to Pretoria. Aderhold
had certificates, medical diplomas and
papers to prove that he was in the
Red Cross service, but the British i
would not believe him or his papers.
They were very bitter against me, "
said he, "because | came to South
Africa with the Irish American hos
pital corps. They tried to prove that
l had been fighting for the Beers, but
could not do it. The American consul
finally secured my release. The Brit
ish wanted to transport me to Ceylon
as prisoner of war"
