THE TWO WARS

Except that De Wet has escaped,
as usual, the British dispatches
from South Africa are growing
more cheerful. An uncertain pro-
portion Of the Beers. particularly
in the Transvaal, will probably re-
main irreconcilable, but in the
Orange Free State the burghers
generally have had more than
enough of war, and since their eff
forts for independence have failed,
they will prefer to get back to
their farms. On this depends the
hope of pacitication, if the British
show the necessary wisdom.
While the war in South Africa
has been one of subjugation, it was
actually waged against an organ
ized government and society. 1t
had a regular beginning and it is
possible to bring it to recognized
end, so that the people can return
to their customary vocations under
the rule Of the conqueror, and the
greater part Of the army can be
called home. The war in the Phil
ippines is quite different from this,
and the rosy reports we have been
getting lately, while they may in
dicate the decline of the Filipinos'
power Of organized resistance, do
not hold out the same promise of
their general acquiescence in de-
feat.
Judge Taft and his commission
ers are busying themselves in set
ting up civil government in va
rious parts of the islands, under
military protection, and the 10y
atty of the natives appointed to
Office can probably be depended on
for a time. But the occupation OF
the army in the Philippines does
not appear so near an end as that
OF the British army in South Af
rica, even with De Wet still al
large.

Baltzer Cook Signs Notes to Secure q
Mythical Nursery Agency.


Mythical Nursery Agency.
Wabash, Ind, Mar. ia clever
81 800 swindle was perpetrated on
Raltzer Cook, Pleasant township
farmer, a few days ago. A stran-
ger called on him and proposed to
employ him as agent for a nursery
at Corwith, Iowa, at a salary of
S100 a month. A condition the
stranger named was the purchase
of fifteen shares of stock in the COR
peration at 500 each. Cook sign
ed four notes and gave them to the
man, who issued certificate. Cook
later concluded he had been duped
and started to notify the banks not
to buy the notes, but found oue
S4G0 not in the Lawrance national
bank at North Manchester and the
others are supposed to have been
sold.-StGr.

THERE ARE OTHERS.

Dear, delightful little dude, if a
man should be so rude
AS to snicker at your charming
girlish ways,
Don't you waste an airy sigh, don't
go off and try to die
In some quiet spot remote from
public gaze.
If the fates were full of fun when
they built you, little son,
Try to be resigned and patient,
for, you know,
If you look around you'll find
many others of your kind;
You are not the only monkey iu
the show.
AS you strut along the street, look
ing ravenously sweet
In the motherly protection of
your cane,
AS your dreamy larhoard eye peeps
so babylike and shy
Through the crystal clearness of
it's window pane,
If brute should send jeer to
your pinky little ear,
Don't you stagger. meath the
heartless, cruel blow, .
But remember as a freak you are
not at all unique;
You are not the only monkey II
the show.
'Tis selfish world, dear boy; every
