From the Worlds Work for March
Like Yankee Doodle, in the old colo
NAL ballad. Christian DeWet, the COM
mandant general of the forces OF the
Orange Free State. wears feather in
his cap. 1t is a black cocks feather.
and it was placed there by himself at
the beginning of the war as sort OF
martial ornament. Now it is the badge
by which the burghers distinguish him
from their fellow Beers. Figuratively
he wears another feather-one accord
ed to him and his genius by those
against whom he is fighting He is
the one general. British or Boer. who
is receiving the praise of foe and friend
and the encomiums of his enemy are
not the lesser in fervor or volume
The meager dispatches which come
to us from South Africa give but little
insight into the character of the man
whose name is daily associated with
all the great events now occurring in
that country. To the majority of peo-
pie, the name DeWet is suggestive of
the quixctic; he appears to us in the
light of a character in fiction rather
than as a man of present action; his
work is so remarkable that we can
hardly credit it to this age.
Since the beginning of the war al
most every British general and SOL
der in South Africa has at one time
or another been bent upon the capture
of this one man. A half-score of
times the ending of the pursuit has
been clearly defined. yet invariably he
has escaped from the encircling cor
dons of men and guns. He has out
fought, outwitted, and outgeneraled his

But we have learned also that our
neighbors- doings are our concern. too,
in the highest sense. Everybody in a
city is dependent for health upon his
neighbor to a large extent If you
want to obtain full benefit from a
sprinkling of the road opposite your
house. you want to see that your neigh
Dor sprinkl-s his front. If you wish
to lessen the noxious dust by good
pavement, you want your neighbor to
do the same; if you plant trees to
catch the dust and purify the atmos
phere, you want your neighbor to do
likewise And so. in most progressive
towns. these things have become mu-
nicipal affairs.
What good is there in bringing this
matter about dust to your notice? Why
this. There are two ways OF sweeping
your house out; one covers everything
with dust and gives headache to the
sweeper-the other does not. If you
realize that dust is harmful, you will
not sweep the wrong way.
Again. 1 have seen drinking water

MRS. SCHWAB A HELPMEET.
Friend of Her Husband in Boyhood
Days, He Was Devoted to Her

From the New York Journal.
Charles NJ. Schwab. the newly elect
ed head of the steel trust, gladly ac-
knowledges that his charming wife
has had much to do with his marve-
lous success in life.
Emma E. Dinkey and Charles
Schwab were p1aymates and school
mates in Loretto, Pa, and plighted
their troth while still children. Their
parents were then in comparatively
poor circumstances, and Emma Dinkey,
now the wife of the multi-millionaire
was trained in all household duties as
moderate means.
Before young Schwab left Loretto. to
seek his fortune in the Carnegie works.
he had asked the tall. sweet-faced girl
to be his wife. Before leaving their
native town he had tried his fortune
as a grocer's clerk. but found that his
income there was limited to $3.50 a
week. He then concluded to seek a
wider sphere of usefulness. and the
girl he loved encouraged him in this.
Young Schwab was % years of age
and had already earned a salary of
$4,000 a year before he returned to Lo-
retto in 1888 and married his childhood
sweetheart. His choice of helpmate
was most wise. His wife has since then
watched carefully his progress. and al
though not keeping up with him in
technical knowledge. has frequently
given him valuable advice.
Mr.. Schwab's rapid rise in the bust
ness world has naturally greatly
changed his social environments.
Mrs. Schwab. though not fond of So
ciaI dissipation. has met these new
conditions most charmingly. She is a
perfect hostess. being thoroughly pos
sessed of that first requisite-the sense
of hospitality. She is never happier
than when entertaining her old school
mates-unless. indeed. it is when she
is undertaking the education of their
sons.
| Mrs. Schwab almost invariably ac-
companies her husband to New York
and even to Europe, but is usually &C
companied by several of her girlhood
friends. to whom she is a most charm
ing hostess. She especially delights
| in bringing on to the Waldorf-Astoria
a choice coterie of her friends, taking
them to theaters and operas and wind
L ing up with a tour Of the big stores.
Mrs. Schwab has travelled extensive
| ly. and in her travels has gathered a
great store of art knowledge. She is
! particularly fond of miniatures and
has a large and valuable collection of
tiny works of art. She is enthusiastic
cally interested in her husbands ideas
with regard to the establishment of in
dustrial schools. and is personally SUI
perintending the education of many
young friends.
Mrs. Schwab is a splendid whist and
euchre player. and is particularly fond
of card parties at her handsome home.
Although commanding an army of
servants, Mrs. Schwab personally SUI
pervises her domestic arrangements.
AS girl she was taught every branch
of domestic economy, and the possess
sion of millions has not changed her

NCh7l, with the Br1tlsh IN Close pur-
suit. he received message from one
of the commandments in the rear, asking
for reinforcements for that part of
the hard-pressed column. DeWet re-
piled, IF you can't fight your way
through, you deserve to be caught.
After capturing vast quantities of
stores and clothing, four thousand
shells, and enough small arms ammu-
milton to supply his army for more
than two years, on his own farm at
Rooivaal, in June, DeWet remarked
to one of his generals: That's bet
ter crop than 1 ever raised on that
place in peace times. Even in his
favorite way of giving command to
move. Come. let us scoot," there is a
touch of humor, for the last word is
one he has borrowed from his enemy's
language.
His popularity with his men is the
direct result of his many acts of kind
ness to them. He tries to please ev-
erybody. except when his duty forbids.
and then he follows his own plans,
even though he is without a single sup
porter He is burgher among thhe
burghers and there is not vestge of
officialdom around him. The poorest
man in his camp may speak to him.
without even saluting. at any time or
on any topic, and the commandant
general will give his personal attention
to the inquirer's wants. His three
sons. who are with him. are probably
the only men in his commandos who
do not call him Chris when address,
ing him, and he hardly ever speaks to
any one unless he has first grasped the
mans hand in greeting. Such good
fellowship in other armies would be
fatal to discipline, but in the Boer
army it is provocative of corps spirit
that binds men together more firmly
than the strictest regulations could do
His kindness to his own men is not
more marked than that which he be-
slows upon British soldiers who fall
into his hands. 1t is almost a craze
with him to treat prisoners with the
utmost respect and kindness. in order
that his enemy may have no just
grounds for saying that he conducts
a dishonorable warfare. He insists
that the prisoners shall receive better
rationS than his own men, and he will
not allow one of them to walk while
there is a conveyance in the camp.
Once near Wepener, he ordered the
only wagon with the commando to be
cleared of it's burden of ammunition so
that twenty British infantrymen might
ride. Realizing that the outside world
can only hear from him through Brit
iSh reports, he is Jealous in conducting
such an honorable campaign that even
his enemy must acknowledge his up
rightness.
Since almost every British general
has been pitted against him at some
time or another, General DeWet has
had ample opportunities for judging
of their relative merits. He has a
great contempt for Lord Roberts, Lord

storIe. Of the cIergr.

A couple Of anecdotes come from
Newcastle, England. A former Pres
byterian minister, Rev. James Slime,
was very friendly with the vicar of that
day, who belonged to the noble family
Of Smiths. The two divines used often
to meet at a booksellers shop in the
Bigg market. One evening the vicar
was inadvertently locked out of his
own house. and. scaling the garden
wall, fell into a water butt. Not long
afterward. Mr.. Slime being in the shop
and seeing his friend enter, slyly re-
marked: "Hast heard the news. Vicar
Smith has become a Baptist; he has
been immersed" The other relates TO

PAIN IN THE BACK.
ber of Affections Says This
Authority.

It has long been lay custom to
attribute pain in the bacl1-lnmbago
to disease of the kidneys. Yet ply
sicians well know that very seldom
indeed does pain in the back indi-
cate renal disease. 1t is true that
pain in the back frequently accom-
panies renal disease, but cases Of lum-
bago are far more frequent than cases
Of nephritis Pain in the back is very
frequently rheumatic in its nature,
and it is SO regarded by physicians
in the great majority of instances.
1t will thus be recognized that this
symptom is not Characteristic Of any
special diseases, says the Philadelphia
Medical Journal.
1t seems to be usually overlooked
that chronic intestinal disease is fire.
quently accompanied by backache. In
every case of aching back in which the
physician is unable readily to find
definite cause, careful investigation
should be made as to the existence
of even mild grade Of intestinal ca
tarrh. Not few cases of lumbago,
which are. relieved by the admins
tration of salicylates upon the hy-
pothesis Of a rhumatic origin, are
really benefited through the antisep-
tic action Of the drug upon the in
fected gastrointestinal tract. It viii
readily, therefore, be seen that the
careful physician must constantly be
on the lookout for intestinal disease
as the cause of backache, for the dis
covery Of such origin will often ena-
bic him to bring about brilliant
result. Mr.. Harding Free

gives rise to back pain and that he
