The Story Of a Boer.

Louis wohlman. claiming to be Boer
from near Pretoria, applied to Mayor
Drennen in this city today for assistance
in getting work. He stated that he own
ed 500 acres of land and had over 5000
head of sheep when the war started with
the British. OF course he took up arms
against the English. He was among a
large number to be captured and was
sent to an English prison near Capetown.
After serving in prison for some time
he took the oath of allegiance to the
British flag and was released. He made
his way to New York but the weather
was entirely too cold for him and he
came South. He secured employment on
a farm near Albany, Ga, but 1t was not
a very profitable one and he set out in
search of better work. He desires work
and does not care to beg. He says that
he has a wife and two children in South
Africa whom he desires to send for as
soon as he can get work and make
enough money to pay their fare here:
He Is a typical Boer. both in looks and

scoTT's GOATS.
What a Visitor to the Judges Farm
Near Brooklyn Saw.

Brooklyn Chronicle: We visited
Judge SCOTS farm not long ago and
took look at his goats. They have
cleared out the brush in wonderful
style. The sumach bushes are &C
tually peeled to the top, and nearly all
the other brush is dead from the con-
slant cropping Of the leaves and twigs.
The goats paid little attention to the
grass, but scarcely allowed a weed on
the place to go to seed. Thistles and
the coarsest and toughest weeds are
especially to their liking. Their work
in killing the underbrush in their big
wooded pasture is astonishing. Since
the brush is nearly all dead they have
even begun to strip the bark from a
few of the trees. When we saw them
a number were perched on top of a
wood pile and from their position OF
vantage look down on us with an air
o. preternatural wisdom like that OF a
populist statesman. 1t takes good
fence to hold them, and they never
know when they have enough to eat,
but we are converted to the opinion
that goats are good for something.

secution. Such conditions always
bring fanatics to the front and secure
for them a hearing; but prospect now
is that the fanaticism will gradually
disappear under the more prosperous
and healthful conditions prevailing in
Canada. That so large a majority
have already submitted cheerfully to
wholesome restraint affords hope that
all these supplemented Russian peas
ants, save the hopelessly insane, will
soon yield to the influences of more

can use free of charge. Ii you like it
| may send you more, but must expect
some remuneration hereafter" Here
is the poem;
Past Joys Recalled.
Goodbye old school house;
Dear, dear old school house;
in the days yet to come
And the sorrows TO know;
III think OF thee often,
III wish for thee fondly;
And dream of joys shared
Mean thy roof long ago"
"ln the days that are gone,
/ may say gone forever;
With young comrades I've played
All unconscious of woe,
Or the trials and sorrow,
The anguish and heartache,
Brought down on life's river
From where sorrows grow"
Many long happy days
Have ! spent meath thy shelter
With playmates some resting
In LIES long last sleep
But those days, ah, those days,
They have all gone by comrades
We are travelling now on the
Hill that's more Steep"
Another crowd romps there;
The seats are half empty,
And the names that we're carved on
the smooth painted pine
There was George, Ed and Ina,
Jane Evan and Gertrude
Have all passed away,
Long with old Father Time"
81 alone of all that happy crowd,
Who romped and studied here,
Remain to see it occupied,
By lot far more sincere;
There it stands that old white school
house,
Meath the hickories on the hill,
Where all those happy youngsters,
Laughed and cried and played at will"
Some have marrieL,
Some have loved and lost;
And some have lain to rest,
But who shall say, of all that host,
The one who loved you best;
lou, dear old friend,
We love you more when we know that
you are gone,
And we've each our separate ways to
tread,
While times weary years roll on"
"And now sit and sigh to think,
With tear drops ins the eye,
That flashed with childish fun and
love,
In the days so long gone by"

CATARRH CAUSES CONSUMPTION
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Ca
tarrh Wherever Located.

THE medical profession has so thor
oughly prejudiced the minds Of the
people against patent medicines thatit is
with great reluctance that anyone can
can be persuaded to try such remedy
st first.
In nearly every one Of the thou
sands Of remarkable cures that Peruna
has made the patients had TO be persusd-
ed by friends very strongly before they
could lay aside their prejudice against
it.
A large multitude, OF course, hold
out against the persuasions of friends
and die simply because they have allow
ed their minds to be poisoned against
this very excellent remedy.
But fortunately there is another large
multitude of people who are able to
shake OF their prejudice and try Feruna
before it is too late. These people are
rarely disappointed. They generally try
other remedies at the beginning of their
troubles. They allow cold to develop
into catarrh of the head. They allow ca
tarrh of the head to gradually become
catarrh OF the throat They still keep
using the doctors medicine, or some
other inefectuaI remedy. The catarrh
steaIthily spreads down the bronchial
tubes and reaches the lungs. Every
then becomes alarmed. Faith in the doc,
tor begins to disappear. The patient
reaches a state of mind in which he is
willing to try almost anything. A bot
tie of Peruna is sent for.
The first week it produces a decided
change for the better. A few weeks cons
tinual treatment cures the patient. Then
another happy man or woman is added
to the long list of people who are prsis'
\ ing Peruna. 1t is the praise of those
who have been cured by PeFuns that
makes this remedy so popular and 50 ex'
