ne was not satisfied. Suzerainty was a term
not to his liking. Still less was he ready
to welcome British suzerainty. Britain
was the one enemy that had been logging

preme effort to rid himself of the hateful
presence, which was also hampering con-

to Queen Victoria for revision of the arti-

graciously received; and the British govern

name of his people-rather, in the name of
the Boer portion of them-had entered his

LOST JURISDICTION.
The Fence Broke Down Under judi
ciaI Weight and Changed the
Laws Mandate.

Some Of the supreme COURT justices have
an inexhaustible fund Of humor, and they
frequently intersperse funny anecdotes
with their solemn deliberations, once they
are inside the sacred domain of their pri-
vate session chambers, <afirms the Washing
ton Star. Justice Brewer is one of the most
iaimitable story rellers among them, and
he told one the ether day that amused his
colleagues imme asely. Out in Indiana, he
said, there was justice of the peace who
owned farm. One line of his fence formed
the boundary of the states of Indiana and
Ohio. Like others in rural districts who
hold that office he had an abnormal appre-
citation of the responsibility of the Office,
and never lost an opportunity to exercise
his prerogative of demanding that the peace
be preserved. One day his son and his hired
man got to fighting on stretch of the farm
near the boundary line fence, and the justice
of the peace rushed out and mounted the
fence Then, with head cooked high and
the air of one who has but to command, he
shouted: 'Tn the name of the state of In
diana, [ demand the preservation of the
peace!" Just then the fence gave way I'M
der his weight, and as he went down with
the fence topping over to the Ohio side he
shouted to his son: "Give him the mis-
chief, Jim; I've lost my jurisdiction"

AMERICANS IN SOUTH AFRICA
AT the Forefront of Great Indus trial
and Mining Enterprises

The people of this nation have more than
a sentimental interest in practically all
that PERTAINS to South Africa. In addition
to our rapidly increasing commerce with
the different English colonies there, in
Guiding the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State, there is the interest that attaches
to the large number of Americans who are
IN the country and assisting in the devel-
opment of its resources. Mr.. Howard G..
Hillegas, in his book entitled ''Oom Paul's
People" pays the following tribute to these
Americans in South Africa:
However great the commercial interests
OF the United States in South Africa, they
are small In comparison with the work Of
IN the development of that country during
the last quarter of a century. Whatever
great enterprises have been inaugurated,
Americans have been prominently identified
with their growth and development and in
not few instances has the success of the
ventures been wholly due to American lead
ership. European capital is the foundatio
OF all the great South African institutions,
but 1t is to American skill that almost all
of them owe the success which they have
attained.
recognized the superiority of American
methods by intrusting the management of
almost every large mine and industry to
ing in the United states It is an express
sion not infrequently heard when the sue
cess of a South African enterprise is being
discussed: Who Is the Yankee?' The
reason of this is involved in the fact that
almost all the Americans who went to
South Africa after the discovery of gold
had been we'll fitted by their experiences in
the California and Colorado mining fields
for the work which they were called upon
to do on the Randi, and owing to their abil-
tty, were able to compete successfully with
the men from other countries who were not
so skilled"
