A South African correspondent tells
how cleverly the Boer commandant.
Kritzinger, made use of his knowledge
of English in the recent war. On one
occasion he galloped up to a block
house and declared that he was in
command of a couple of squadrons of
Marshalrs Horse and was being hotIv
pursued by Kritzinger himself. So well
did he tell his story that the block
touses actually held UP the advance Of
the pursuing column of English with
a heavy fire. Riding up one evening to
a blockhouse, dressed in an English
captains costume and attended by TIVE.
orderlies he announced that the col
umn to which he was attached would
pass through at midnight on a night
march, and they were on no account
to fire on it. He selected the spot at
which ne would cross, and insisted on
absolute silence being observed. 81
think we have Kritzinger cornered
now" he remarked cheerily. "And 50

commissioned officer next morning

didn't salute i'm, and the men give i'm
a cheer as e rode off"

The woodcock has always been the
comic actor in the piece; it is not clear
why, but whenever a humorous story
is told of a shoot it generally has one
of these birds in it, says Country Life.
One of the best stories every told
the writer forgets when and by whom
was that of the shooter who invariably
won the half sovereign sweep for
the first wOodcock. 1t was at last sus-
pected that he brought a bird with him,
and so the butler had orders. when the
sportsmen were a breakfast, to eX-
anime a certain coat, and see whether
there was a cock in il.
Hardly had the guns separated in
covert. when, "as per usual there
was Mark! Mark cock! Bang I've
got him." from the suspected trickster.
this being the agreed signal for a rush
of all hands to see the bird. The hand
went into the accustomed pocket, and
pulled out the bird, with the remark,
There you are gentlemen"
The astonished hero produced the
bird, tits true: but picked and trussed
just as the cook had left it, and as
the butler had restored it to his

Difficulties of English.

Among the stories about errors In
English the Los Angeles Times tells
the Following: Many ludicrous mis-
takes are made by foreigners in grasp

mon English expressions. A young
German attending the State University

as a class, until, as the teacher thought
1t was we'll learned. One day she ask

Beatrice, proud of the distinction, de-
clared that:

'Tis only noble to be good.

And the teacher thanked her lucky
stars that the country superintendent

One of shnw's stories.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was
speaking the other day Of the high
rate of money. and, as is frequently
his custom, illustrated it with story,
says a New York paper.
A man in the hardwood business met
a banker. by George" said he, did
you ever see anything like these good
times? I'm afraid I'm going to get
rich in a year. Thers's twice as many
buildings wanted as can be put UP
and twice as much hard wood wanted
as l can supply"
A few weeks later the hard wood
dealer came in to see the banker again.
Say" said he, things are booming.
Beats anything 1 ever saw. 1 want to
borrow $500, 000.''
All right said the banker, you
can have it. I'll only charge you per
cent
"oh. that's robbery" replied the
man.
Not a bit of it," replied the banker,
1.-THE trouble is that times are BOOM
ing, and money is just as scarce as
hard wood, and I don't want to get
rich any quicker than you, but only
lust as quick"

The Gratitude of the Helped.

Her husbands brother had through
his own efforts become very rich says
the Chicago Record Herald.
Now" he said, II will do something
for her and the children. I am under
no obligation to them, but they are
poor and feel that it will be no more
than right for me to help them"
Therefore he bought a comfortab BILE
home for the mand gave her the deed.
Then he took her to the furniture
stores and they secured carpets, beds
crairs and other things that were nee
essary to make them comfortable and
ne paid for them. after which he went
about his own affairs rejoicing.
She sat in her new home, with her
hands clasped in her lap and a sad
look on her face.
What is the trouble?" her neighbor
asked.
L was thinking of the selfishness and
meanness of some people," she sorrow
fully replied. Think of all the money
he has. Yet he is too stingy, too mar
roW-minded to even give us a piano"

NOT READY FOn SOCIALISM.

The Philadelphia North American, a
Republican paper, commenting on the
proposition in the platform of the New
York Democrats, that the government
acquire the ownership of the anthra-
cite coal mines of Pennsylvania, says:
Five years ago, two years ago, such
a proposition would have been met not
only by sneers but by violent denun-
citation. 1t would have been termed a
vicious attack upon vested interests, a
blow at established government, an
outspoken Indictment to anarchy.
Yet to-day there is no such out
burst The demand is received with the
respect due to proposition which is
radical yet open to free and honest
discussion. Thinking men must realize
that it is to be met by argument on
its merits, not by sweeping vitupera-
ton"
The reason the proposition is not
condemned in strong, and even denun-
ciatory, language. is that a large sec
ton of the country is threatened with
great calamity in the shape of a
scarcity of fuel at the very beginning
of winter If the proposition had been
made at a time when the market was
fully stocked with coal and there was
no trouble in the mines it would have
no friends among Democrats or Renuh-
hcans of New York or anywhere else
Only here and there a paper of the
sensational kind is saying a word in
its favor. Democratic, as well as Re-
publican, papers in New York con-
denim it and say that Mr.. Hill made
a mistake in admitting it to a place in
the platform.
Government ownership of the an
thraeite coal mines would be an enter
ing wedge for government ownership
OF great many other things. 1t would
mean government ownership of rail-
roads, telegraph lines and even facto-
ries and farms. Indeed, there is no
guessing where such precedent would
lead to. And government ownership
means costly service and bad service
If the government owned the anthra
cite coal mines of Pennsylvania the
cost of mining coal would be far great
er than it is now. The cost of coal to
the people would be much greater I'M
less the government distributed the
coal to the people free Of charge. No
tice the cost of running the depart
ments at Washington! Notice the cost
of running each of the Houses of Con-
gress! The number of employees in each
house is about double what it ought to
be. One half of the employees have
practically nothing to do. They are
kept in their places by senators and
representatives who have political
debts to pay. 1t would be an unfor-
tunate thing for the people of this
country il the idea contained in the
coal mine proposition in the platform
of the Democrats of New York should
be generally approved.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Post Qnd.) says:
1.-THE Saratoga platform is a sort of
catch-all, but is, on the whole, a much
better document than the one which
the Republicans adopted at the same
place last week. The demand for the
naturalization of the anthracite coal
mines is too glaringly a campaign
dodge to be taken seriously. 1t is a
kind of freak plank, of which we shall
hear no more Except reproach of its
authors) when the strike is over"
The Nashville (Tenn.) American
Dem.) says: 1.-The Democratic party,
it occurs to us, has had quite enough
of the paternalistic doctrines and the
cries of the Populists and Socialists
without it's membership in the Empire
State declaring for government own
ership of the coal mines. Some people
are eternally arguing that the trusts
have destroyed individual effort, and
all that sort of thing, yet here are the
Democrats of the Imperial State of the
Union proposing to do the very thing
so bitterly opposed by many of their
party associates. The government has
clearly defined powers under the con-
stitution and the statutes; 1t should
not go beyond them under the stress
of temporary excitement"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem. }
says: "If Pennsylvania had a good,
sound antitrust law the courts Of that
state could cope with the situation, and
it is possible that the Sherman anti
trust law, in the hands of a deter
mined and vigorous prosecution, might
accomplish something. But the fail
ures of Attorney General Knox to ac-
complish anything with his recent op-
erations against the trusts, and the
absence OF any law in Pennsylvania,
give the Coal Trust a free hand and
have reduced the chief magistrate of
this great republic to the condition of
begging favors from the coal barons
The lack of the requisite laws is not
for the want of due warnings. The
lawmakers of states and nation have
had the necessity for such legislation
before them for years, but either
through cowardice or interest thew
have constantly shirked the respon-
sibility, and it is plainly understood
that there is no law that can be used
successfully to cope with a giant trust
ana there is no provision of law where
by a labor controversy may be set
tied"

MORE EMIGRANTs FOR LIBERIA.

Another effort is to be made to start
a movement of negroes to Liberia. 1t
is announced by the Liberian Coloni-
cation Society of Birmingham, Ala,
that a ship will sail from this port
with party of emigrants on Jan. 20
next for that country. Bishop Turner,
the senior bishop of the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church, commends the
movement of negroes to Africa in the
strongest terms, and has written a
letter in support of the effort of the
Liberian Colonization Society of Biz
mingham to send a party on Jan. 20.
The bishop says this country is no
place for the negro because his polit-
ical rights are denied him. According
to his view there is no future for the
people of his race in the United
States.
There is no doubt it would be a good
thing for both the negroes and the
whites if a very large percentage of
the negroes could find homes in Libe-
ria. 1t is practically impossible for
two distinct races, one inferior to the
country on terms of political equality.
But we dislike to see negroes go to
Liberia unless they have some GER
tainty that they can make living
there. 1t will he recalled that
the last ship load that went from this
port had a very hard time of it, not
only on the voyage, but also after ar
rival in Liberia. According to our rec
objection most of the party died from
diseases of one kind and another due
to lack of proper food, comfortable
houses and the means of earning a
living.
The party that is to go on Jan. 20
is to settle in Since county. That may
be a very good county or it may be
all swamp land. Probably the agent
of the colonizati ton society knows some
thing about it. Each emigrant who
is the head of family is to get twen-
ty-five acres of land on his arrival in
the county and each adult fifteen acres.
but it is wild land, in all probability.
1t will require money and years of la
Dor to fit it for cultivation.
We do not want to put any obsta-
Giles in the way of negroes going to
Liberia, but those who decide to go
| should send an agent in advance-an
agent in whom they have confidence
to acquaint them with their destina-
ton and prepare stopping places for
them on their arrival. If we are not
mistaken emigrants who have reached
Liberia from this country have found
themselves dumped on the beach on
their arrival with no place open to
them where they could get food or
| lodging.

Robert Winthrop Chanler, Demo-
cratic candidate for the assembly from
one of the districts in Duchess coun-
ty, New York, has been attacked by the
Republicans in such fashion that he is
likely to profit. He is rich man, but
likes to work on his farm and often
takes turn at the pillow. In a newspa-
per article he has been described as
eccentric" and stress is laid on the
fact that he does farm work The vot-
ers Whereabouts do not regard this "ec-
centricity' as ~ any way disgraceful
and Mr.. Chanler's friends hope that the
Republicans will attack him some
more.
William K. Vanderbilt and Grover
Cleveland received respectively the
largest and smallest checks ever issued
to individuals by the United States
government. At one time Mr. Wander
bilt owned 100000 worth of govern
ment bonds. and on this amount drew
annual interest of $1,000 900. At the
close of Mr.. Cleveland's second admin
istration II was discovered. in settling
up his accounts for salary, that the
government owed him l cent. A check
for that amount was forwarded to him,
and as it has never been presented for
payment it is probable that the recip-
lent preserves it as a curiosity.

A good Tip.

From the Baltimore American.
There was a man who 1onged for
fame
But wouldn't tip.
He pinned for cheers that never came
He wouldn't tip.
He put up at the best hotels
But wouldn't tip
He mixed with all the bowling swells-
But wouldn't tip.
At last, when getting his shoes shined
By some queer slip,
Or some odd caprice of his mind.
He gave a tip.
The bootblack promptly bowed to him
bow came from a bellboy slim:
A porter humbly bent his head:
The waiter bowed, and served the
bread;
And then the big head waiter came
And very nicely did the same:
The clerk-the noble hotel clerk
Bowed down to him with gentle Jerk:
And when he walked the corridor
The very grave proprietor
Unbent completely, struck a pose.
And bowed until his coattails rose.
When this was seen by every guest:
Each bowed to him like all the rest;
from there the wave swept to the
street,
And folks would all bow and repeat:
or course, this had a prompt effect.
Just a person should expect.
For interviews the journalists.
With huge lead pencils in their fists
Requested him, in missives sage
And ran his picture on the page
The page that all would fain be on
The very frst-and ere they'd gone
The politicians came to state
That he should be a candidate:
And after that his fame was SIRE
And would from age to age endure.
And when the folks all knew his na,,,a
He didn't tip,
For he had won such lots of fame
He needn't tip.

there was a snake.

Mr.. Andrew j. White predicts, at
cording to the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal that within a generation dogs and
cats will be banished from every i'm =
portant city in the country. When that
happy time comes there will be less
sickness, more cleanliness and no fieas
in town. Bat how does Mr. White pro-
pose to abolish the old maids? He must
get rid of them before he can chase out
the cats and dogs.
