MIR. Botha on Kruger.

Testimony to the character of Kruger
is given us by Mr.. Paul M. Botha, who

which has so enraged De Wet that he
has threatened to shoot him on sight.
Mr. Botha was a member of the late
Orange Free State volksraad for Kreen-
stad. This is his estimate of the late
president Of the republic:
II have been told that there were
people in Europe, in England and in
America who admire Paul Kruger. /

prejudices like an expert player upon

Paul should dupe well educated people.
that | cannot understand. The ONLY
way can ext lain this mystery is that
veil of romance has grown around
this rugged old man, and that Europe
being 5000 miles away, accepts him as
seen through the eyes of his duped
burghers. Lee me tear this veil of
false romance from him, and let me
try to show the man to you as he really
is, and as those Beers whom he has
not succeeded in dipping always knew
him to be. We know hiIn-an avar-
icious, INSCRIPTIONS and hypocritical
man, who sacrificed an entire people to
bis cupidity. His one aim and object
was to enrich himself, and he used
every means to this one end. His
ambition for power was subordinate to
his love of money. He used the Trans
vaal as milch COW for himself, his
children and his following Harper's
Weekly.

DEFEATING A PRIVATEER.
An Interesting Incident in the Early
Naval Career of a Famous
British Seaman.

The New England privateer contest
in the long ago gave distinguished
officer of the royal navy his first cppor
tunity. Charles Wager was the nephew
of John Hull. Newport merchant. H.
was with his uncle in one Of his yes
sells when she was threatened by
French or Spanish privateer. There /;
a well-attested tradition that Wager
only lad, but high-mettled, persuaded
the peaceful, NONRESIDENT owner to re
tire to the cabin and give him control
the vessel.
Charles mustered the crew--the,
were always armed-and handled then
so bravely and skillfuIly that the at
lacking party was baffled. The ole
Quaker's anxiety prevailed over his
principles, and, coming into the COM
panionway, he stood taking snuff and
watching the fight. AS he was below
the level of the combatants, he could
well see the effect of the firing.
His interest grew and his excitement
waxed high as the contest went on. He
took pinch after pinch CT snuff in most
wasteful fashion; his usually immacu-
late waistccat became reclzlessly pow
dered. Finally he cried out:
Charles, if thee means to hit that
man in a red jacket thee had better
raise thy piece little!"
The attack was repulsed and the gal
liant Charles was commended by his
uncle with: "Thee did we'll, Charles,
thee did well, but fighting is wrong.
Still, Charles, if thee had let them whip
l could have flung thee overheard"
Through his friends Wager obtained
