The Brooklyn Eagle makes the fol-
lowing savage onslaught on ex-Presi.
dent Kruger:
Some men there are who will not
taste the sweetness drawn from the
uses of adversely. They will not bury
their dead ambition. They will not
accept for themselves what all the
world has accepted for them, they
will not admit the justice of an arbi-
trament which they invited and which
resulted in their discredit and disas-
ser, late president of the Transvaal
republic, whose memoirs are now to
be published in London. Some ex-
tracts from this forthcoming book
have been printed in advance Of the
volume itself. They are monument
ally bitter. They are characteristic
ally abusive. The man who encour-
aged a clique of corrupt aliens to bat
ten upon the treasury of his own land,
who is known to have profited enor-
mously by the sale of privileges, If
not by the Sale of Law, enlarges upon
the lies, treachery, intrigues and
secret instigations" of the govern
ment with which he so fatally clash
ed. The approver of the infamous
dynamite concession says that Cecil
Rhodes was one of the most unscrupu-
lous characters that ever existed, a
liar and briber. Lord Miner is a
murderer at his worst and tool
of Chamberlain" at his best. Hard
names are not arguments. According
to the proverb, they break no bones.
In more modern phraseology, they
cut no ice. They prove nothing, they
indicate nothing, save the gall and
the .wormwood, the bitterness of an
irreparable defeat.

thousand. The widow at once put on
her bonnet and shawl and went to the

To render the occupants of the nest

John Hall sat far into the night
wrestling hard with bitter thoughts
and sweet. He opened a trunk in
HIS room and looked long at a picture
which he drew from it's depths. He
took out a package of letters and
read one or two of them. At dawn
he turned in, but did not sleep. But

he was up and about when the hand
began stirring and went out on the
front porch and looked north. High
up flock of wild geese were flying
southwark, their silent wedge cleav-
ing with unerring instinct the way
to the valley of the Mississippi. The
CLEAN of red birds wing flashed in
a nearby thicket and the sun shone
brightly on the still green grass be-
fore the doorway. All at once a great
peace fell on the mans heart, and he
seemed boy again. He turned back
to the kitchen and said to Hick'ry
Bill I'm going to town, Bill; back
tonight" He swung himself into the
saddle that lay On a bay pony's back,
and started in a steady canter for
town. Once there he had his beard
shorn, his hair cut, and his appear
ance changed to much like the man
of ten years before. He sent tele-
gram, and waited for an answer. The
answer came, and the agent stared
as Miser John gave strange shout,
which was after all only a college
yell of seventeen years back.
That night John Hall took a two
days journey. When he came back
carload of furniture, including a
piano. came with him. And with him,
too. was the prettiest woman the peo.
pie of that section had ever seen.
And the sweetest natured, and most
neighborly. All the women and girls
fell in love with her: all the men
worshiped her from afar OF. And
on Thanksgiving there were times at
John Halls farm. The big barn floor
! was made ready for dance. The
dinner was given there beforehand,
and there never was such a feast pro.
vided in the memory of the Oldest in.
habitant
Over twenty turkeys were on the
boards. And the quantity of "stuf.
fing," pies. cake, pickles, potatoes.
gravy and cider consumed, and very
rare brand of sparkling cider never
before seen near Whipple Station,
made things hum along in beehive
fashion. John Hall made speech
and the ne!ghbors were amazed to
hear the silent man tell jokes and
stories that kept them laughing as
though their sides would split. II
was the event Of twenty years In
Vermillion township and everyone
had the time of their lives. Three
cheers were given for John Hall and
HIS wife. and when the lamps were
lit in the barn there was the biggest
crowd that ever gathered under one
Roof in the county. John Hall and
his wife were the first couple in the
first four of the opening quadrille and
everyone danced until the roosters
began to crow There were cheers
and handshakes for them at every
turn. and as the guests moved away
in their buggies and wagons there
were more cheers and hearty good
wishes.
And as the sun came gloriously W
over the distant hills and lighted the
barren fields with touch or autumn
al glory. John Hall and his wife
stood at the door Of their homo will
hands close clasped and with face,
radiant with the towering hope o.
long lost years blossoming in thel,
hearts. A jays wing glinted blue II
the orchard and white clouds sailes
by and past to beckoning shores.
