Strange farebodings filled his heart,
As he paced back To and fro:
Every sound caused him TO start
Every shadow htd a foe
Fitting was this line he sang
Let me L. thy bosom fly"
Pleadingly the music rang,
Burdencd with a conscious sigh.
AS he sang this hymn so dear
Angels watching round might weep.
For the foe I>drdwing near,
Tiger like 70 make his leap;
But the picket sang his prayer,
To the father OF US an;

Little thought he that his heart
Was a target for the foe
Lurking in the thi, ket dark

How in other hearts il rang.
"All my trust onthee is stayed"

South African Securities Advance

New York, March 1.-The advances in
South African securities of all kinds
have been steady and uninterrupted,
says the Tribunes London correspond
ent, being coused by reports that Gen.
Botha has surrendered and that the
military situation has materially i'm
proved Close observers OF the scenes
In the mining exchange assert that there
Is no speculative movement. but mere
ly better feeling among investors in
England and on the continent so that
shares are In greater demand and prices
are gradually going upward. Orders
have come in from France. Germany,
Canada and elsewhere, and there Is evi.
dence that the South African investors
are convinced that the end of the war
is close and that speedy revival Of the
mining industry may be expected.
The day and the hour when the sur,
render occurred, have been mentioned
with such precision that II is suspected
that negotiations for the submission Of
the Boer general have been in progress
and that the time and place have been
agreed upon. South Africans In Lon
don have contended for weeks that
Botha was only holding out on a point
OF honor, and would abandon the hope
less conflict wherever Dewet was de-
feated. Dewet's own plight could hard
ly be worse. Only a small portion Of
the remnant OF his force has crossed
the Orange river, an his own passage
with Steyn Is now contradcted.

wHITELAw REID ON THE PRESS.
Says II Is Generally Fair and Often
Misrepresented.

New Haven. Conn, March l.-White-
law Reid gave his second lecture be-
fore Yale students last night. He be-
gan by referring 10 the question asked
by the New York correspondents club
HOW can the Influence of the press
be increased?"
He said that Catholic Confucian and
agnostic In the persons OF Cardinal
Gibbons. WI Ting Fang and Andrew
Carnegie had replied In substance tell
the truth and be fair"
1T was an III omen" said Mr. Reid
that influential sections of the COM
munity seem sometimes to have per-
suaded themselves that many news
papers do not try either To tell the
truth or be fair, except in so far as
they feel sure II will pay. Yet in this
the critics judge the newspapers with
more unfalrness and untruthfulness
than any Of the newspapers ordinarily
display themselves"
Mr., Reid said that the most OF the
libel suits brought are unjust. "Peo-
pie who have characters to protect" he
said, resort too rarely to the law
against libel. but those whose charac-
ter could hardly be injured are the first
under the guidance OF lawyers looking
for their pay TO a share In the verdict
TO institute libel suits as a means Of
specializing on inadverient errors.
"Unhappily the curious state Of the
law and the lingering effect Of old de-
cisions that ill-ht modern conditions
combine 20 promote this unfortunate
reversal of what every iurist and eve
ry good citizen has at heart II is the
rule Of compensatory damages that
makes the law which honest men hest
tate 10 use In their own just defense
a perfect fountain OF speculation for
men who have no character TO lose. to
shrinking from disagreeable surround
ings. and consequently no reluctance to
enter the courts on an ill-odored quest
for cash"
The speaker gave Instances where
slight errors had been taken advantage
OF by persons who were guilty In
worse ways. He continued:
Without questioning in the least the
learning or the uprightness Of many
Judges who are stlll apt to hold diff
ferentlv | venture TO point out that a
reasonable liberallty as TO the amount
OF evidence about general character I'm
the case Of inadvertent and unimport-
ant inaccuracies would be in the inter-
est Of the honest press and Of the com
munity"

cussion OF probable changes in the
newspapers Of the future. dealing first
with Mr.. Harmsworth's recent expert
