A WONDERFUL WORLD.

One beautiful day in the spring,
While l was hearing the birds sing
l thought of very strange thing.
How God had created all these.
From blades of grass to giant trees,
He made them all for us to see.
God has made the sun, moon and stars
Besides, all the birds of the air,
And not one of them could we spare
For each has its own duty here,
And Jesus alone knows our sphere,
So fits each one for their career

BULLER AS A HERO.

~ NE OF the salient traits of British character
1 was shown IN the treatment or mistreatment
~ OF Lord Roberts by the crowd at the cere-
monies attending the reception given the Duke OF
York on his return TO London. The who but
short time ago the popular idol OF his country
was roundy hssed and hooted he rode along in
the royal procession Nor was there any doubt in
the minds OF the observers as to the OF the
change in public sentiment Roberts hooted be-
cause the British have become persuaded that
he has been unjust TO Butler
It is doubtful if any other in the world would
like general Of Bulle-'s type He has bulldogs
courage but hardly more than a bulldogs sense
His career in command in South Africa one long
list of bunders and disasters In battle after battle
he was defeated and up to the time Roberts arrived
Butler had accomplished nothing for the relief OF
Ladysmith or Mafeking About the only thing in
the man to be admired was his hearty, bluff way OF
taking defeat and standing up against it without
whining.
The courage OF the and his willingness to bear
all the blame of whatever happened to the army
under his command shown in the dispatch to Sir
George White in which he suggested to that officer
that it might be advisable to surrender Ladysmith
Ii was Buffers frank announcement that he had
written such dispatch that led to his retirement from
the army and yet the incident appears be decidedly
to his credit.
Buffers statement OF the matter is that after his
failure TO relieve Ladysmith by his first advance, he
found it necessary to send message to Sir George
White to the effect that he could not make another
attempt for month, and that then relief would
have TO come by slow fighting and not by rushing
He then said: Il in command; whatever re-
sponsblity there there mine, and thought,
Ought / not to give him some help some lead, and
something which if it to the last absolute mo-
ment would have enabled him to say, '"Well after
all I have Sir Redvers Buller's. as my commander,
opinion in favor of this7" Therefore put into the
middle OF telegram sentence in which suggested
if it would be necessary to abandon to surrender the
garrison what he should do when he surrendered
and how he should do it put that in simply because
if he ever had to give up, it might be some sort Of
cover to who, thought, in much greater
difficulty than / myself"
This willingness on the part of Butler to stand by
brother officer who in greater difficulties than
himself shows trait OF character that helps us to
understand why the British public persists in liking
him despite all his bunders and the disasters that re-
suited from them. 1t is very seldom that soldiers
have been intrusted to the command OF less COM
petent general that serious defeats have be-
fallen brave by of bad generalship. All
Of that is well known to the British masses but they
like the old general because he is brave fellow and
stands by his friends He is not much Of hero but
it must be confessed that there have been worse
