The Bow Problem.

The problem of making men out of
boys is very serious one. Everybody
has theory, and nine times out of ten
none of them work. 1t is easy enough
to see exactly how you would proceed
to make man out of somebody else's
boy, but it is different with your own
recalcitrant offspring.
When SON is born to a proud father
he builds all sorts of air castles about
him. He resolves to bring that boy up
exactly as boy ought to be reared,
and makes solemn VOW that he will
give some Of the older fathers, whose
sons were disappointment, some val
uable pointers about the bringing up
of child in the way he should go. He
will fertilize and polish and stimulate
that boys mind 80 that he will be an
epoch-maker. He will instill into him
such wholesome precepts that he will
never be prey to the follies of youth.
He will make man of him of whom
his day and generation shall be proud.
He will be exactly the sort of man his
father imagines he himself would have
been if he had had half chance.
But alas!
The boy is impervious to the voice of
wisdom He is without industry. He
hates school, and braces himself like
balky mule against instruction. He
waists dozen years pretending to be
going to school, when he is only going
to the school house. AT the end of
that time he is merely big vegetable.
He has no ambition except to eat pie
and fish for suckers. Workt The very
name gives him spasm. He is wild
horse that has never known bit or brid-
al, saddle Or harness. He is big slob
who has made up his mind that it is his
duty to live upon the industry of
proud and happy father, who predicted
such great things for him!
What is to be done with such a boy?
You cannot send him to college, even
if you can afford ii, because he is not
qualified to enter. Send him away to
preparatory school and he will waste
his own time and your money.
What is to be done with the boy?
Break his back, you would suggest in
the case of somebody else's boy. But
if he is your own boy, what then2
About the only thing is to turn him
loose and let him hunt his own living.
If that does not awaken him to a sense
of his eminent worthlessness nothing
will. That is the only hope. If he has
to depend upon his own resources he
will naturally want to improve those
resources. AS soon as he becomes self
dependent, and has been aroused to
the necessity of industry, he will begin
to develop what is in him. And then
it all depends upon what there is in
him. He may develop into a good
and forceful man, or he may drag out
the lengths of his days in shiftless and
brainless indifference.
The boy problem must solve itself
You cannot predict. You must wait
But the chances are he will turn out all
right.-W. o. Smith in Punxsutawney

Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, August

Sworn evidence has been brought to my
notice by Gen. Elliot that on June Lieut.
Mair Of the New South Wales Artillery
and Privates Harvey and Blunt were shot
down after surrenderfng at Graspan, near
Reitz. I have forwarded to Steyn and
Botha copies OF these statements"
The war office has teiegraphed to Lord
Kitchener as follows:
I'VE understand that you have not yet
received satisfactory assurance respecting
the murder OF our wounded at ylakfon-
tein. In view Of the occurrences referred
to In your telegram OF August 25 we are
OF the opinion that you should notify by
proclamation that the members Of any
commando by which such an outrage is
committed who may be captured and after
trial proved to have been present in such
occasion will be held guilty, whether they
actually committed the deed or not: that
the leader Of the commando will be sem
fenced to death and that the other mem

The editorial in the London Times Of yes
terday on the South African situation re-
fleets the cold fit which has followed the

Kitcheners proclamation. Commenting
upon the meager news from the front the
Times says:
TT Is quite clear that IL we want an end
OF the war we must strike hard and often.

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
While official circles still believe that
Prince Chun. head of the Chinese special
mission to Germany, Is Ill at Basel and
will come to Berlin in a few DAYS the
Lokal Anzeiger's Berne correspondent to-
day interviewed Herr Won Rauch business
manager of the mission, who says the de-
lay was due to questions Of formalities at
the Berlin reception. He regards these as
subordinate. and believes the mission will
start for Berlin tomorrow.
The immediate attendants Of Prince Chun
are decidedly indignant at their summary
handling by the German officials. Herr Won
Rauch, who is attached to the mission in
~ completing the travelling arrangements,
in spite Of the Chinese assertions that they
may not proceed to Berlin.
Some Of the minor Chinese officials oh
1ected to lodging on the fourth floor of
the hotel. but Won Rauch promptly in
tervened and compelled them to accent
the quarters to which they had been as
signed. Seeing that the lowest In rank of
the members Of the retinue are prominent
mobiles, such coercion is not relished.
Prince Chun has dropped his pretense
OF indisposftion and is keeping up con-
stant telegraphic communication with Pc
nil. odC CdDlc HeSSdS6 Cost MIN $1to.
The members Of the Chinese mission are
not permitted to leave the hotel. This, It
Is alleged. Is due to the personal orders Of
Emperor William.
1t Is now generally conceded that the
delay Of the mission Is due to the severe
exacttons of Emperor William in connec-
ton with the exptation ceremonial.
A dispatch from Pekin late yesterday
said: It was announced that the ministers
had decided to accept the edict regarding
the importation Of arms. but to omit the
first paragraph in publishing 1t as part
Of the appendix to the protocol.
1t 10 understood that the British MIN
lister, Str Ernest Satow, proposed to re-
turn the edict to the Chinese peace COM
missioners as unsatisfactory, but the pro-
posal failed.
Several Of the diplomats, including Mr..
Rockhill, opposed this feature Of the pro-
tCcol. Among their reasons was that 1t
was impossible Of enforcement and that
It was illogical, while insisting that the
Chinese government maintain order to de-
pIive 1t Of the means of SO doing. Where
as a month ago the Chinese commission
ers were importuning the ministers to con-
clude the negotiations 1t is now the min

The greatest carnage Of the warl The
expression has an awful Significance to
those who have followed the course OF this
revolution. The official returns show that
5000 men lost their lives in one battle at
counts send the death list UP 1000 more.
In the bloody field OF PaIo Negro General
Pfnzon, the conservative leader, crushed
the liberal forces. headed by General Tribe
Tribe. The fighting lasted for fifteen days.
and no truce was taken, even for the burial
Of the dead. Barricades were formed Of
putrefying bodies, and in attacking trenches
behind barbed wire tangles those who fell
first were thrown upon the sharp spikes
and served as bridges in the rush Of their
companions in arms
And worse Is yet to come according to
the prophets! The last fight in the city Of

they must be victorious. but they were

1t was not deemed advisable to put the full
load on the Allis engines on the 9th. and
they did ultimately break down. This was
not surprising. as they were wholly untried
engines and 1t was scarcely reasonable to
expect that they should be perfection on
first asking. The cause OF the break down
was very trifling; it was caused by the
bearings becoming overheated, due to q de-
feet In the lubricating arrangements. 1t
was about a month afterward before the
Allis engines could supply all the power to
operate the tramways. After that time the
power for the whole system was provided
by them. They have not since broken down
In any shape or form, and from the time
they were properly started they have given
every satisfaction and continue to do so.
They have come quite up to the best ex-
pectations formed Of them; in fact they
have surpassed anticipation. AS they have
not been officially tested yet, it is perhaps
premature to give any opinion regarding
their real merits; but 80 far as their con-
nection with the operation of the tram
ways is concerned. they have done splen-

ATTACK AMERICAN ENGINES
CONSUL TAYLOR SAYS REPORTS CON-
CERNING THEM NOT WARRANTED.
The Machines, He Says, Have FuIhlled
and Even Exceeded All
Expectations.

Consul Taylor Of Glasgow writes to the
State Department In regard to recent news
paper attacks on American engines used
by the Glasgow tramways. It is asserted
that the engines. at the opening of the ex-
position. were incapable OF running; that
later. when tried with light, load. they
broke down through the bearings becoming
overheated, and that they were generally
unsatisfactory.
These assertions" says Mr.. Taylor,
were never warranted by complaints
emanating from those who had supervision
Of the tramways. I have the very best
authority for saying that not only have
the American engines fulfilled, but they
have exceeded. expectations. Mr.. H. F.
Parshau. the consulting engineer, reports
to the tramways committee OF the town
council:
The little trouble at first experienced
from warm pins with the AlIis de-, Amer
ican) engines has entirely disappeared No.
l Alhs engine has now been carrying the
carload for eleven days and No. for six
teen days. The average load on an engine
for 25O cars amounts to some / 400 K w.
The average output from the station
amounts to 0.03 board OF trade units per
car mile. which figure will indicate to you
that the system generally Is working eff
ciently and well. AS regards the Musxraye
engines the first commenced turning round
on Monday last. There have been some In
cipient troubles from heating, but not more
than might reasonably be expected in
starting a new engine. The engine will be

provided things go on satisfactorily, and 1t
Is expected 1t will be In satisfactory work.

mentioned in this report as affecting the
Musgrave engines, were the same as met
with at first In the Allis engines, and were
eagerly seized upon by interested parties
who wished to advertise that the Allis en-
gines were failures. In a conversation with
one of the managers Of the road. was
given the history Of the trouble, which 1
quote almost verbatim:
The Alis engines did not really have a
fair chance at first The oath of April-the
day on which the tramway system was for
mally 0pened-was the frst day on which
they were set going. The system was for
