sport IN the r,.tran Army.

Our garrison towns represent a
state of things utterly opposed to the
idea of a vigorous prosecution of the
war. Numerous officers in possession
of staff bets are snugly ensconcing
themselves in comfortable bungalows,
obtaining lodging instead Of field"
allowance, and drawing ration allow
anees. In fact, the liberal allowances
to officers in South Africa seem to
countyrbalarce their desire for the
end Of the war. Sport is all very well
in its way, but on active service the
care Of golf links and tennis courts
should not exercise officers ability and
attention, while The thousands of
polo and racing ponies kept by Of
ficers throughout South Africa (fed
on government rations) might prof
itably be used to augment the parsi-
monious supply Of remounts to the
mobile columns.-Letter from South
Africa in London Spectator.

WI AS AN ART CRITIC.
The Minister'S OutspoESen Opinion OF
vos' Portraits of Chinese
Celebrities.

WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minis
ter, was exploring the Corcoran art
gallery one day last spring, evident
~ with the idea OF impressing on his
mind the fundamental difference be-
tween the oriental and occidental
brands Of art, says the Washington
Times.
Hubert Vos, the noted Dutch paint
err, happened to have on exhibition in
the Hemicycle a number of portraits
of representative types of various
races. Mr.. Vos had strayed far
afield in collecting his gems, and the
display included the presentments
Of Tibetan 1amas, Indian rajahs,
Arabian chiefs, japanese mobiles, and
Chinese mandarins. Among the lat
ter were the portraits Of Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang.
The artist, with the diplomat in
tow, paused before these eanyases.
"Who is that?" asked Mr.. Wu,
pointing toward the picture of
Ching.
"That is Prince Ching" replied
Vos.
at don't look like him." was his
only comment, and the party passed
on to Earl III.
who's that?'
"That is Ii Hung Chang"
1T don't look like him." said the
minister again.
But it's only three-quarters
view, you know" said the artist
apologetically.
cit don't look three-quarters like
him." said WI.
And later, when the remark hit
the chorus Of sweet girl art students
who had been forming an animated
background, they retired without
and giggled.

are not addressed to any person in par

some OF them, l deem it my duty to re-

Offices of Iron county and employed
Mr.. Love Carly to make said examin-

officers were examined with the ex-
ception Of those OF the Collector. The
report of the Investigator was filed
with and approved by the County
Court on February 8, 1902. In view
of said examination Of the county books
in part, the Eagle will ask:
II. Why were not the books OF the
Collector examined What unforeseen
obstacle arose or what influence was
brought forth that changed the original
order OF the County Courtp
20. Why did the County Court allow
Collector O'Neal six per cent on all
county taxes when, under law, he was
only entitled to five, making a differ

THE Potosi Independent says: 1.-The
Bonnie Terre Star says that Eli D. AXE,
of the Iron County REGISTER, was
made for larger things and claims that
his article on the ''Sissy Earl and
Horsey Girl" was the best he had read
in a long time. Mr.. AXE is one of the
brainest editors in Missouri. He is
not only an able writer himself, but
one of the very best judges Of good
literature In the state. His fine dis
elimination in this respect has enabled
him to make his paper a credit to
Southeast Missouri. Mr.. AXE is large
enough to be Governor if he had
political ambition. We have never
known him to make a mistake in re-
gard to a principle OF democracy,
although we often have been COM
PEELED to differ from him in regard to
