THE MAN WITH THE ADzE.

A constructive rather than destruc

seen by early corners to the meat mar
kets. IA
Most persons have doubtless observ
ed the large blocks upon which butch
ers trim their steaks and chops. The
top Of the block is usually as smooth
as glass, but the constant chopping OF
meat thereon roughens the surface
eventually. The general idea seems to
be that the butcher keeps his block
smooth by merely saving Off the rough
section, Such. however, Is not the case
Specialism has even entered here.
The man who makes a business OF
smoothing the butchers blocks appears
at the meat markets early in the morn
ing before the customers arrive He
rolls the big block to the sidewalk,
then mounts to the top of it. adze in
hand, Bringing 1t down swiftly from
a vertical position above his head, the
blade is made to pass between his legs.
skfmming the surface of the block with
great dexterity.
AT each stroke thin layer of the
rough wood is removed. The operation
is continued sufficiently to satisfy the
butchers requirements. Some three
bours are ordinarily consumed Mn the
operation, and at the end of that time
the man with the adze" finds himself

After the treaty of Paris was approved
it was discovered that these islands.
which lie in the southwest portion OF

outside the line described in the con-
vention. Their acquisition seems
necessary to give the United States a
clear title to the entire archipelago,

KRuGER's PROPHECY FULFILL, ED


When it became apparent that war
would follow Cham berlain's efforts to
grab the Transvaal, old Paul Kruger
made remark that has become proph-
etc. He declared the results of the
war would make mankind shudder.
and among the tragedies would be
the death of Queen Victoria.
How startliDgly true have become
kruger's words. The war brought
sorrow to the occupant of the British
throne. She looked upon the men
who laid down their lives on the
South African veldt as her children.
She saw nearly every home in Eogland
clad in the habiliments of mourning.
Her grief was great. 1t went to her
heart and she died full of sorrows.
Cham berlain's plans may be carried
out. The Transvaal may become a
colony and freedom may die in South
Africa. and yet the best laid plans
sometimes fail, If righteousness
availeth they will this time. But how
terrible has been the cost. even at
that. 1t fastened the end of En-
glands queen, darkened her reign by
a war against christian people, and
worst of all. this war was begun and
continues in the name of civilization.
