Iusha, General De Wet, sure you lick
all creation,
TO the red coats you're causin,' the ut
most vexation,
And bringing such shame on the great
British nation
Then more power to your elbow, brave
General De Wet!
Then here's warm slanthe, bowld
General De Wet:
That Kitchener his grasp ON you may
never set!
My sowl! you will make it more hot
for them yet
The more power to your elbow, brave
General De Wet!
The whole British army you've both
cred completely,
With all their big guns and their gen
erals so stately,
When surrounded" you give them the
slip all quite nately,
Och! the divil can't match you, DraVe
General De Wet!
By the holy st. Patrick, lesson you've
taught them,
With Delarey and Botha to grief you
have brought them,
"some one has blundered," for often
you've caught them,
In your thraps, mid the lzopjes, brave
General De Wet!
Those Britons so great, they may stop
all their blowin',
While their heels to a few gallant
hurghers they're showin',
Twelve to one though they had, yet
they still will keep GROWTH
Och, the broth Of boy are you,
General De Wet!
Here's to your success, then, wherever
you go,
And the Irish brigade who oft van
pushed the foe,
May they live yet to strike for ould
Ireland blow,
Then more power to their elbows, and

While to nab you new plan each day

Hurrah! matchless hayro! your likes

You're wipin' them out by your tactics
so clever,
With all John Bulls roarin' and stupid

The laugh you have at him, brave
General De Wet!
BY the piper, those Orange Yeos who'd
fain line the bitches,
They say they have steel breast plates
behind in their breeches,
But they soon turned their backs, with
all their loud speeches,
And ran home to their ma'as, safe from

In Dublin and Belfast these warriors
were playin'
AS hayros, and Beers they in hundreds

But still in the Transvaal they weren't

For they got quite enough of brave

But the sixth of that host, have got 8

Here's slanthe, De Wet, freedoms

across the street. When set down on
her feet, the old lady was found to be

what she called Jacks "himpudence."
She was proceeding to give him a fur

with the utmost composure, took her

Superstition has built up an odd and
lucrative trade for a Kensington junk
dealer. He makes a regular business
of supplying horseshoes to people who
think there is no luck around the
house if the talismanlc iron is not in
cluded in the household furnishings.
The dealer in old metals handles thou
sands of horseshoes in his junk trade,
and many of these he cleans up and
disposes of to believers in the super
stition. 1t may seem odd to the reader
that anyone desiring a horseshoe
shouldn't 90 to a blacksmith shop and
get a brand-new one, but the junk
dealer explains that a worn shoe is
supposed to possess more virtue as a
dispeller Of hoodOos than a new one
Blacksmiths he states, don't clean up
old shoes, so the trade comes to him.
He has all varieties, from the light
fiat iron Of the trotter to the heavy
caulked shoe of the draught horse
Being of an inquiring mind, the junk
dealer has discovered that many peo-
pie who call for shoes are small store
keepers, who believe the magic irons
to have magnetic properties when
placed in cash drawers. Philadelphia

THE BILLBOARD NUISANCE.
Buffalo Wins the Right to Regulate These
Eyesores.

Eyesores.
After n legal battle. extending over
a period of six months, the city au-
thorities of Buffalo have scored a
most decisive victory over the bill
board barons, who have been making
the streets of the town hideous for n
long time past
The particular point settled is that
the city has the power to regulate the
signboard nuisance. This, however,
was disputed by the Cunning System,
billboard operators, and when the
city authorities, acting under n local
ordinance, toppled over some of the
unsightly boards, the concern succeed
ed in getting a restraining order from
the court preventing further opera
tions in this direction.
At this juncture Governor Odell
came to the rescue, designated a spe-
cial term of the Supreme Court and
named Justice Kruse to hear the case,
instead of allowing the appeal taken
by the city to drag along for months
until it could be heard by the Appel
late Court.
1t was shown on the argument Of
the case that the boards, which are
more than seven feet high, increase
the danger from fire, that they are
liable to be blown down, that the
gaudy colors in which they are painted
make them unsightly, and that they
are a menace to the health and morals
Of the city by reason of what they
screen from public gaze.
Several days were spent in taking
testimony. The Cunning System
fought every inch of the ground, re-
alzing that an adverse decision in this
case would result in spiking their
guns throughout the State. 1t was of
no avail. The facts were plain. The
billboard operators had been riding
rough shod over the rights of the peo.
pie, and the time had come when it
was no longer to be endured.
The decision rendered by Justice
Kruse is based on common sense. 1t
is held first that the great signs dis
tributed throughout the fair city Of
Buffalo are billboards within the
meaning of the law, that they are a
nuisance for the several reasons given
above, and therefore should and
must come under the regulations of
the city authorities.
1t goes without saying that the city
authorities will now insist upon the
removal Of these hideous eyesores.
If the Cunning System declines to act
in the matter the remedy is simple.
All that is necessary is to turn the
Fire Department into an axe brigade,
and it will do the rest.
A similar decision was rendered not
long ago in Chicago, and it is only
necessary to prod up the authorities
in the big cities of all the States to
forever wipe out a nuisance which has
been permitted to exist altogether too
long. Then, perhaps, in time, the
State authorities may pass such regu-
lations as will relieve the districts out
side of the big cities.
Buffalo and Chicago have good rea
son to rejoice, and it may be that even
New York will yet have similar rea.

SteriIIzed Rnnks.

To guard against insiduous bacilll
physicians are recommending steriliz.
ing books in the public Libraries, not
in the hope of killing evil producing
literature, but to destroy noxious
germs concealed in their leaves and
bindings. That disease has frequently
been transmitted by the circulation Of
books has long been suspected, and the
belief has recently been verified.
The most careful work in this dircc
tion has been done by the Chicago
public library, and Dr. Kufewski re.
ports that he found a large number Of
bacilli, representing nearly a hundred
different poisons and disease germs.
Fifty books, selected at random, were
