The Boer Commanders $ Humor

funny story of Gen. Christian De
Wet shows the sturdy Boer commander
radiating rays of humanity and humor in
rcrplcXing proportion. AS Mr.. Richard
Harding Davis tells if, three scouts OF
the yeomanry came prisoners before De
Wet.
They had been captured before. They
were English scouts. Being captured
seemed to be an affection chronic with
them.
De Wet looked them over gravely and
thoughtfully, his clear eyes searching
them through and through. He was their
judge, stern or merciful they could not
tell; all they could do was hope.
My men," said the Boer commander,
ut last, you will take Il message from
me to your GeneralY'
They accepted i'll rejoiced surprise, and
were entrusted with Il large sealed pack
age. When they reached Gen. Rundle's
camp, they said that they were bearers
of papers from De Wet, negotiating for
peace. Gen. Rumble was delighted He
tore open the envelope. He read the let
ter. 1t said:
Dear General Rumble: This is the
fourth time | have captured these raging
devils of yours. Please chain them up.
They annoy me.

MISS MARY PREBLE ANDERSON,
The Young Lady Who Christensd the Maine

Gov. Hill, of Maine, designated Miss
Mary Preble Anderson, of Portland, to
christen the new battleship Maine, which
was launched at the yard of the Cramp
ShipbuiIding Co, Philadelphia, last Satur-
day. Miss Anderson belongs to family
that has been identified with the American
Navy as prominently as the Adams family
with American craftsmanship, OF the Lees
with American armies. The ancestor Of
the Portland Prebies was a young soldier
who won fame at the siege of L0uSburg
in 1745. His son Edward was boy
when the Revolution broke out. He joined
the American Navy, distinguished him
self, and after the Revolution attained
high rank, so that in 1903, with the rank
of Commodore, he commanded in the old
Constitution the famous expedition which
humbled the Barbary Pirates and relieved
Europe and America of the humiliating
tribute on their commerce.
Commodore Prebles nephew, Admiral
George III. Preble, saw active and distin-
gushed service in two wars, that against
Mexico, where he participated in the
bombardment of Vera Cruz, and the civil
war, where he commanded a vessel
under Farragut at New Orleans and Mo
bile.
The third Portland Preblc was Lieut.
Commander Edward Il. Preble, grand
son of Commodore Preble, who was the
navigator OF Lne hedrSdFSe III Tue ldlnOuS
battle with the Alabama.
Commodore Preble married in 1901,
Mary Deering, 4 daughter of Nathaniel
Decring, who used to live where the post
Office of Portland now stands, and sister
of James Deering. They had but one
child, Edward Deering PrebIe, who left
three children, a son, Edward Il. Preble,
the navigator of the Kearsarge, and two
daughters, Mrs. Edgar Tucker, Of New
York, and Mrs W. Ii. Anderson, of Port
land, mother Of Miss Mary Preble Ander-
son.
Miss Anderson lives with her parents
in Portland.

A Hot Weather Story.

The st. Louis Star has a story of a
new kind of a fraud-Samuel Smith
who drew five pensions. 1t says that he
served acceptably in the Mexican War
until discharged for lung trouble, for
which he drew pension of So u month.
Then he entered the Union army as AS
sstant Surgeon, would serve while with
regiment, get discharged for lung
trouble, be allowed a pension, and then
repeat his performance with another regi-
ment, 50 that in time he accumulated four
more, aggregating, with his first, S44 a
month. This is the way the Star says
he managed:
The manner of procedure was quite
simple. He would present his Mexican
certificate to the agency at Cincinnati and
draw SIS for that quarter there. He
would then skip to st. Louis, where he
would draw $24 more. From st. Louis
he would go to Chicago where he would
draw $50 more, and 50 he would pass from
agency to agency, drawing pensions from
each one, and having a different residence
and 4 different certificate each time. This
he successfully did for many years, and
the fraud was only discovered on his
death, by the application of two of his
widows, one residing in Cleveland and
the other in st. Louis"
The query would naturally arise, how
much he would have of his SIS left, after
paying his railroad fare from Cincinnati
to st. Louis, and hotel bills; and so to the
other places, but this little item did net
occur to the Imaginative reporter, bent
on writing up IA good hot weather story"

Blue SPRINGS.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1 observe
in the issue of July IS, that Comrade A.
c. SimontOn, Of ROslyn, Wash, inquiries
why the battle of Blue Springs is so
named. the postOfice of Blue Springs be-
ing located in Bradley County, Southeast
Tennessee.
In reply 1 beg to state that l may
be able to enlghten the comrade by stat
ing that in our early entry into East
Tennessee, when we arrived at the town
of Strawberry Plains, one OF the inquisi-
tive members OF our 7th Ohio Cav. asked
barefoot boy why this town was so
named. and received the quick reply: Be
cause there amt no strawberries here"
But if COmrade Simonton will refer to
Rand McNally's atlas of the State OF
Tennessee, he will find that there are five
towns by the name of Blue Springs To-
Gated in that State, there being one in
Coffee County, one in Greene County, one
in Warren County, one in LOudon County
and one in Bradley County. The battle
named Blue Springs took place near the
village of that name located in Greene
County. This is not a pOstOffice, but is
just a little hamiet - . few houses, and
is so named probably because there are no
blue springs in the vicinity ty,-THEoDoKE

"Mr. Charles Y. Turner's color scheme

Misleading Grain statisticians.
(COurier-Journal.)

The stories of the destruction of the
corn crop iii the Southwest which have
so excited the grain market, it is inter-
eSting to note, were put out by the same
alleged statistician that last year is
sued the similar reports of the total
failure of the Spring wheat harvest. 1t
is the same authority that came out about
Il month ago with an estimate Of a 1885,
0300OO bushel wheat crop. The wheat
market, i'll consequence of this and sim
liar reports, has been unduly depressed
this year, just as it was unduely advanced
Il year ago. The crop is large, but not so
large as that. 1t is the corn market
which is now soaring to the skies upon
no better authority. Serious damage has
been done to the corn crop of the South
west, Just as there was to the Spring
wheat crop of the Northwest last year,
but the shortage scarcely affected the
business OF the Spring wheat section, and
the Southwest will doubtless continue to
thrive.
The corn crop of the whole United
States is reasonably certain to be large
enough for all requirements. The Gin
clnnati Price Current, which is about
our most reliable crop authority outside
of the Agricultural Department, esti-
mates the crop at ], 800 100000 bushels,
and this allows for % per cent loss,
The lighter crop will enhance the value
OF what IS harvested, and also of the
wheat, of whose large yield there is no
doubt y farm price of 80 cents a
buShei is not only possible but probable,
and this would make the value of the
1901 crop aggregate O0,000O00, far in
excess of that Of any previous year.
The fact is, the grain market can be
so easily manipulated by spectators
that no dependence should be placed on
the estimates of men who are in the
int Of
ricnce of years has shown their unre-
liability, but as long as the public and
spectators are gullible there appears to
be no help.
