 There are two young Australian troop CTS out in South Africa helping Lord Kitchener to clean up the Boers who have no idea of returning to their homes in the island when things have become quiet in the Transvaal. Not bit of 1t. which they have fought and join the ranks of the South African millionaires. Three months ago they were put on scout duty in the region of Jacobsdal, when the ping of a Mauser bullet warned them that they had better seek shelter They galloped off to a neighboring rav- inc and sought safety between its pre- cipitous sides. Picketing their horses in distance in hope of a chance to get. a return shot at the enemy. The rocky chanel grew more and more narrow. un- til finally the two Australians were forced to crouch on their hands and knees and wait in this position the appearance of the Boers.
 As they waited they amused themselves by enlarging their cramped quarters. nation and picked something from the bank It was a piece of quartz lined and scanned with gold Just then the Boers came riding by, and a brisk fusilade off. Then the Australians gathered more quartz. put them in their pockets ana rejoined their command. But they know where the place is, and will not tell. If they SurV1Ve the ing they intend to work that claim for all 1t Is worth. and they believe It IS worth a large fortune. SThough they VII tell no one of the location of the au- riferous gully. they could. not keep the find to themselves. and have shown thelr specimens to their comrades, ana also had them tested by experts, who pro nounced the quartz to be of the richest sort. - AL,

PICTURED ON THE ROCKS.
Cliffs in Arizona Ornamented With Maps of Country Centuries Old.

Pttsburg CPa) Gazette
 The oldest maps in America are to be found in Arizona and Texas. How old they are may not be said but they date back many centuries.
 The Indian has left behind him many records. In his rude implements of peace and warfare-his knives. arrows, axes. spears, vessels mortars, quoits. etc. we can read today the history of prehistoric races their habits and customs. their social life, their tribal relations, their
 occupations and their pastimes. From picture writings we gain additional in sight into the ways of these primitive
 people. It nov appears that some of these early dwellers in the land were map-makers of no mean ability.
 The traditions of some of the tribes of Arizona and New Mexico point to a common origin with the Montezumas. It seems quite certain that the nations or as New Mexico, Arizona. Texas and Mexico held intimate relations with each other, and their inhabitants traVeled back and forth from country to country for centuries.
 In Tenaja canyon, Texas. are unmistak- | able evidences of this. The lay of the land is such as to make this canyon the I natural pass for d large area of country l n ,rth and south of that point. Travel

232. HAMILTON-I am constrained to follow up my recent inquiry with some account of the descendants of the pa triot. John Hamilton, of Hancock Coun- ty. Ga; especially since 1 note the in terest taken by some of the members of the noble and princely line of Hamil tons. There is no denying that there has never been a more illustri3us family in the British Isles. and. indeed. wherever the name is found it is synonymous with greatness, both morally and social ly. Whatever country the descendants of the noble Hamiltons have chosen as their home, that country has received lasting benefits from their presence. Es pecially Is this true of the United States of America. There are many families Of the name here. all prominently identified with their country. none of which are more worthy of consideration than that of Hamilton uf Virginia and Georgia.
 John Hamilton, Esq. of Ntrg mia, wa born in or near Pctershurs. in the Carl% part of the eighteenth century The nal me of his father is not known. but hls mother was a Miss Mitchell. according to some. John Hamilton was one of three children, having one brother. Will liam Hamilton. who never married, and sister, Susan Hamilton who married Mir MabrY of Virginia, and became the mother of Susan Mabry Joel MabrN M Mr. Hamilton married Tabitha Thweatt. daughter of James Thweatt. Esq. of Dinwiddie County, Va. and his wife, Sarah SturdiVant. In ll9l ne re- moved to Georgia and settled in Han cock County. During the Revolutionary War he had been lieutenant in the navy. and when he died in 1921 he was lamcntrd by every one who knew him. Whiie in his ''llistorical Collections of Georgia speaks If him in the highest terms, and Miller in his Bench and Bar of Georgia, gives some space to the family record of this noble man.

There Is a vast amount of sage advice
expended, as well as a tremendous leaven
of cold comfort doled out to the young
and ambitious aspirant in literature. They
ere seriously treated - more varied elk
ers than any class in the world. and 1t is
little wonder that they more often perish
under the interminable smothering pro-
cess. The great burden OF most OF ms
literary mentors is embodied in the prime
value of perseverance. We are compelled
when we dissect this sort of advice. to
set 1t down as hypocritical. initiative or
unwise. That idiotic fable about Bruce
and the spider has had much to do with
this advice as the try. try again" allit-
Grafton has crept into all educational phil
osophy, as a truism, which dsres any
one to assault it. The plain truth is, in
