Howard Gregg, Of San Francisco
who spent several years in Johannes
burg, says that the Boer is not fight
ing for a hopelessly lost cause. BY
that, he continued, do not mean that
he will again occupy the position he
did prior to the commencement of hos
tilities, but am inclined to the opin-
ion that sooner or later a peace will
be declared. in which greater or less
freedom and independence to the Beers
as nation will be guaranteed. Ger
tainly Edward Wis proclamation
naming Miner as paramount lord OF
the Transvaal would seem to point in
this direction. If England doesn't
compromise with the Beers they will
make her tenure Of the country dis
agreeable and expensive thing. l be-
lieve they can keep up the guerilla sys-
tenn of warfare they have embarked
on for years, and so long as any OF
them are left in the field bearing arms
England will be forced to maintain a
heavy military establishment in South
Africa, SO heavy indeed, that it will
soon prove a heart-breaking strain to
the taxpayers.

Dicks life is not all sleeping and
worm hunting. Every second day he
has long swim in the bath, and he
has certain social and domestic duties
to perform which are very important.
When company is expected Dick has
to wear his swellest garb, a broad
crimson ribbon. which is tied around
his shell, and into a huge bow upon his
back. So attired, he gravely marches
about as if he considered himself no
unimportant parsonage. When all the
pets are dressed up" with similar rib
bons, the effect is very comical.
Dick has to do his share of the work,
too; for this is insisted upon by very
young lady, whose commands are not
to be trifled with. She owns a small
cart and vague number of dolls, in
cluding one -springy rubber man.
To the hinder edge of Dicks shell
is affixed ring-a solid gold one, by
the way; for it rightly belongs to the
stem of certain watch. The cart has
cord and gold snap. which should
be at the end of a watch chain | know
tSt
the lady dolls arc seated in the cart,
the springy rubber man is placed upon
Dicks back, and hay,-away they all
go for a 10-foot dash down the stone
walk.
This performance never fails to de-
light the young lady who owns the
dolls, while Dick does not mind it in
the least. One terrible day-I almost
shudder to think of 1.-THE rain had
left pool about four inches deep at a
low spot in the walk. Dick was hitched
up to take his party for its usual air.
ing; and 10! "he yunned away" as the
young lady put it. Away he went full
gallop, straight for the pool The par
ty came near being drowned!
So exciting was the work of rescue
and the restoring to consciousness of
the lady passengers that the rubber
man was forgotten. Later, after the
pool had been dragged and everything
possible had been done, he was found
in thick growing plant, where Dick
had left him a la Absalom.
Dick for a time strove to make
friends with the black turtle; but of
late he has discovered his own image
in mirror which extends to the floor
OF the studio. He climbs up the carved
moulding, and intently regards his re-
Election for an hour at time. Wheth-
er he fancies that he has found some
captive maiden of his race or merely
desires TO be sociable as other turtles
are upon logs, | am not prepared to
say.
Taken up on his merits Dick is harm
less and most interesting pet. He has
already shown much more intelligence
and | should not be astonished if a
few years of good treatment developed
his faculties much further-Our Ami

A Bear Aboard Ship.

Bears make good pets" said Lieu
tenant Clark. when | was in the rev.
enue service at Alaska we had one on
the boat and he made things hum. We
named him Wineska He used to climb
to the crosstrees, going up hand over
hand by the ratlins. One day he ven
tured out on the yardarm, and there
he stayed. We had to get rope and
haul him down. Once he vaulted over
the head Of our Chinese cook and went
into the locker, where he helped him
self to sugar and butter. We had
tackling made for him, much the same
as harness of a pet pug, and would
drop him overheard, with rope at
tached, to take his bath. Once he
landed in a native boat and nearly
frightened the occupants out of their
wits. He was as playful as kitten,
and although sometimes he disobeyed
he was never treacherous or unkind.
When he was lost or hid himself, as he
often did, we would look in the dark
till we saw two balls OF fire. These
were his eyes, and gave him away ev-
cry time. New Orleans Picayune.

A gentleman recently sold his villa
Just out side Paris to move into a fiat
within the city walls: On leaving the
country he parted with his Danish
boarhound, too big an animal for a
Paris fiat, to a gamekoeper of the dis
trict The new owner found the cost
of keeping so big dog too great He
decided to be rid of him. With this
idea he took the dog out in a boat to
the middle to the neighboring Marne,
tied stone to his neck and pushed
him over, But the stone came united,
and the Dane swan after the boat. The
gamekeeper struck the poor dog with
an oar, so that the water was dyed
with blood; but still the Dane swan
after the boat. Enraged at his persis-
tency, the gamekeeper rose and swung
his oar to strike the Dane again, so vi
olently this time that he overbalanced
I and fell into the water The game
keeper could not swim, and must have
been drowned, had not the noble Dane
come to the rescue and held him up
till he managed to Chamber into the
boat again. A revulsion of feeling took
place. The gamekeeper bound up the
wound in the dogs head, and he now
says that death alone shall part him
from his dog.-Le Temps.

How the Elephant sleeps.

One of the most erroneous of the
many queer ideas which the layman
has on the questions of natural his
tory is the one respecting the ele-
plants mode of sleeping. Even the
old schools of naturalists declared that
the elephant has never been known to
sleep except in standing position. OF
late, however, say within the last cen
tury, it has been learned that the er-
ror came about by persons studying
the habits Of such beasts as had not
been long in captivity. Such animals,
when undergoing the process of domes-
tication, have been known to stand for
II, Is or even "a months without once
lying down to sleep. This is regarded
as want of confidence in their keep
ers, coupled with longing desire for
liberty. When elephants are perfect
ly at ease and reconciled to their fate,
they will lie down on uneir sides and
sleep as all other beasts do.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
tion but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address il

Weak Nerves, Tired, Exhausted
Bodies.
The Complaint Of Thousands upon
Thousands.
Health and Strength are
Within Your Grasp.
Or. Greene'S hervura Makes You
Strong and We'll.
It is the Great Restorative of Brain
and Nerves.

oh, those nerves of ours. how they
do bother US! Weak. tired. and ner-
vous Is the complaint everywhere.
We overwork. dissipate. weaken our
bodies, ruin our health. and finally
break down. Sleeplessness and indi-
gestion are early symptoms. for the
nerves are too exhausted and irritable
to permit rest and the stomach too
weak to digest food.
1t is nerve and brain exhaustion
which makes the brain tired. and the
arm nerveless. the limbs trembling,
the muscles weak, and the whole body
without strength, energy or ambition.
1t is loss of nerve and vital power
which is slowly but surely sapping the
very life itself. and unless help is
sought from the right source. the end
will be shattered nerves, insanity with
softening of the brain. nervous pros
tration, heart failure. paralysis or pre-
mature death.
Beware of such symptoms! A well
known druggist. Charles w. Eggles-
ton, 329 Park Avenue. Worcester,
Mass, suffered from nervous prostra-
tion and all its terrible symptoms. He
writes the following letter telling what
he knows Is the best way to get well.
Some time ago / was taken with
nervous prostration, suffered terribly
with my nerves and could get no sleep
at all. l became fearfully exhausted,
my stomach was in terrible condition
from dyspepsia, and | could eat hardly
anything.
81 used several medicines but with
out benefit. Being in the drug busi-
ness myself, and having had many
customers speak in the highest terms
OF DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, I determined to try it.
After taking only one-half bottle be-
gan to feel much better.
81 slept soundly at night and my
appetite was splendid. After taking
three bottles. ate three square meals
day. and had not the slightest dis
tress My nerves were perfectly strong
and | felt like new man. being COM
pletely cured of all my troubles.
"Out of the respect bear the manu-
facturers of DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, and my desire to
have the sick and suffering made well
and strong, | unhesitatingly say that
this medicine is the best and most
wonderful remedy known today.
1T does just what is said of IL. Il
cures disease. Don't hesitate to use il,
sufferers, for you will never regret IL.
You will be made well and strong"
AS this letter Is from a dealer in
medicine, his word is authority on
such matters. Everybody knows that
DR.. Greene's Fervura blood and nerve
remedy is the great leading medicine
of the age. Take it and you will be
made strong, healthy and vigorous.
Doctors recommend 1t because it is
the prescription of a physician, and
| because they know It cures.

cialist in curing nervous and chronic
diseases, discovered It. He can be

DAILY AND HACK M AN.
New Story Told of the Late Montans

New Story Told of the Late Montans
Copper Kiug.
When Marcus Daily was in Wash
ington last it is told that he performed
a humane act which very nearly
brought brutal hack driver into the
police court, and was a topic of con-
versation at the hotel and other places
which DAILY frequented. The story es-
capped the vigilance of the local news
paper fraternity. and is here published
for the first time. DAILY was coming
out OF Chamberlains one morning
when he espied a negro hackman
brutally belaboring crippled old
horse with a heavy whip in an almost
futile effort to increase its speed from
walk to slow trot, says the Wash
ington Post. Daily hailed the driver,
who quickly drew rein and approached
the curb with the prospects of obtain
ing a fare. Where do you want to
go to, boss?" inquired the negro. III
want to go with you to the police court
If you don't stop beating that poor old
horse" replied the millionaire. "You
could coax the nag along faster with a
handful of oats and wisp of nay in
front of him than you can by beating
him from behind. When did you feed
him last?" The negro complained that
times were hard, that fares were scarce
and that ho could not afford to pro-
vide better for his horse. Daily saw
the force of the argument at once and
inquired how much the cabman aver
aged week, and was told that So or
$40 was considered good wage. DAILY
reached down in his vest pocket and
drew forth a roll Of bills, from which
he peeled $40 note and handed it TO
the astonished negro. There, take
that" said the copper king, "and put
that rack of bones in the barn and
treat him to banquet of hay and corn
and if see you with him on the streets
in the next two weeks I'll have you
arrested "
