Some time ago follower Of one o.

upon a desirable newsstand under tn,
elevated railroad stairs. Straight b,
went to his friend, the alderman, ant
made known his wishes, which were
that the news dealer should be evicteC
from the locality.
"All right. me boy: leave it to me-
said the city father and began to pull
wires. Finally he got an order direct
ing the newsdealer to show cause why
he should not get out, but that Obsti-
nate Individual still remained. Then
he drew up a formal complaint, which
was duly laid before one of the judges.
The complaint, after telling how the
newsdealer had been ordered to leave
and had not done so. concludes:
and now we have TO complain,
your honor. tEat not only is this same

CAME IN TO BE HANGED.
story Told of Abel Erasmus, the
Boer, and Lord WOlseIey.

A story Told of Abel Erasmus, the
Boer, and Lord WOlseIey.
A good story is told Of the old Boer,
Abel Erasmus, and Lord Wolseley,
then Sir Garnet Wolseley. In connec-
tion with the part Erasmus took in
WOlseley's campaign In 1879 against
Sekukuni. the chief of the Bapedis, on
the borders Of Swaziland. After the
capture OF Sekukuni he was immedi-
ately brought before Sir Garnet Wolse-
ley, who asked him how he, a misera-
bic Kaffir. living in a cave. dared to
defy the great queen Of England. The
chief replied that he had been insti
gated TO do so by Abel Erasmus.
Sir Garnet in describing the scene at
q public sdinper given 70 him at Pre.2.
ria on liis return from the campaign
said that he wished there and then to
let Abel Erasmus know that if ever he
found that Erasmus had been melting
any chief to levy war against England
and he was able to lay hands on him
Abel Erasmus would hang as high as
Haman.
A few days after the dinner Sir Hen.
ry Brackenbury. Sir Garnet's military
secretary, was sitting In his office
when a tall. bearded Boer entered and
asked permission TO speak with him.
II am Abel Erasmus" he said. "and
| have very important business TO do
here"
He explained that be had come to
see Sir Garnet WOlseley. for he had
heard that Sir Garnet had said that if
he could lay hold of him be would hang
him. and 50 lie had come 10 be hanged.
Sir Garnet was in the next room. and
Sir Henry Brackenbury thought il
would be advisable TO consult him on
the subject. Sir Garnet, however. hap.
pened to he TOO busy at the moment to
see anybody. and Sir Henry after re-
Election persuaded his angry visitor to
take his leave and allow the hanging
TO stand over for the time.
