statute books relative to the salue
game. Section of said Act read. g
follows:
Section 5. That ii shall he unlawful

MISS AGNES RAPP.

Miss Rapp scored another victory at
the Schiller Club before an audience of
highly cultivated as well rs talented
musicians. Miss Kapp's pure soprano
voice, so well trained, was greatly en-
Joycd. Two songs by Meyer Helmund

ity Is of n Queer Sort.
A. d. Wolmarans of the Boer lega-

Never before anywhere in the

our people are now maintaining in

after two years of fighting, the
greatest empire in the world against
two puny countries, what do we see?"
asked Mr.. Wolmarans. 1.-THE two lit.
tie republics have been almost depopu
lated; they are wastes; the farms are
ruined; weeds grow in the fields: the
live stock has all been driven away;
the houses and kraals are empty: the
only activity is that of the soldiers
flying to aud fro. Where are the $50.
600 Boer people who lived in these
two happy little countries? Perhaps
10000 remain in the cities and towns,
nearly all of them being. women and
children. Possibly $4,000 more are liv-
ing on their farms. The remainder of
the women and children are in British
camps. What has become of the
10000 men and large boys who were
the industrial backbone Of the South
African Republic and Orange Free
State? More than 10000. according to
British reports. are in captivity at St.,
Helena. Ceylon and other prison pens
Five thousand are dead or incapaci.
tated from wounds and disease. Per-
haps 5000 more may be found In the
towns or upon the few farms that are
still occupied by human beings. And
the remaining 10000? In the field.
still fighting against the invader.
"a people who will keep up a war
under such circumstances, the men
fighting and living of the enemy while
their wives and children are virtually
prisoners In the hands of the foe, are
an unconquerable people. We are not
conquered. We never can be conquer.

"For q long, long time. l have just
