THE ROUND TABLE.
DE WET.


Ho, sing me a song both deep and
strong,
Like the thunder of hoofs as they roll
along;
Let the music ride with a swinging
stride,
Like the gallop of steeds, in their
strength and pride,
When they reach at their brides, and
foam and fret,
For sing OF a rider, DeWet.
Through the black, still night comes
stamp and a beat,
And the bark is a.clatter with horses
feet,
With the rattle of arms as they wheel
and pass,
And the dull, deep thunder across the
grass.
Who rides by night when the moon is
set1
And the night owl answers, "DeWet,
DeWet."
His home is the free veldt's open face;
His roof is the azure of endless space:
He sleeps where he loosens his saddle
girth;
And his only bedis the good red earth.
Such a leader OF men we ne'er have
met;
And he fights for freedom, DeWet,-
DeWet.
Full many a time we have held him
fast,
And have vainly boosted him caught
at last;
We have ringed him round with a
Ridge ef.steel,
And have dreamed he was lying be-
meath our heel;
But the lion was up and had torn his
net,
And was out in the open, DeWet-De-
Wet.
He strikes us here, with his troop to-
day
And tomorrow a hundred miles away.
He sweeps, a wall, o 'er he.open veldt;
And he carried death in his cartridge
belt,
He has sworn an oath he will pay the
debt,
And in death he will keep it, DeWet,
DeWet. /.
His name is a word we have learned
to fear,
When the clouds are thick, and the
night is drear,
When the rain beats hard on the sod
den sward,
And the wild beasts couch and the
winds abroad;
When the starless sky is as black as
Jet,
Then he rides on his errand, DeWet,
DeWet.
In the dead of the night, when the
camps asleep,
Though the sentinels guard and the
rocks are steep,
There's a shot in the dark-there's
sudden cry, ---------------------
And the men rush out from their
tents to die,
Who strikes by night, when the moon
is set?
And the dead makes answer, "DeWet
DeWet."

compliments of the author, Bertrand

L think the arrests and agitation reported
in to-day's dispatches from Port-au-Prince
are the outcome OF the campaign which
is being carried on by the candidates for
that office. There are five or six candi-
dates for the presidential office. the cleo

quite naturally there is q lively interest

The Federation Biennial.

New York Times.
When the club women from the North,
South and East turn their steps westward
in May to attend the biennial meeting of
the General Federation of Women's Clubs
they will find a warm reception awaiting
them at Los Angeles and one of the finest
women's clubhouses in the country. 1t is
built i'm the California mission style, a rec
tangular building with a patio. or inner
court, such as is to be seen in Spanish and
Spanish-American buildings. This Is in
closed on three sides by arcades. The
building is two-storied. rooted with terra
Gotta, and has the effect of the San Ga
briel Mission belfry at the south. There are
a large assembly hall, several pariors, and
reception, cloak and toilet rooms, a banquet
hall, a well-equipped kitchen and a buffers
pantry. The patio is TO be inclosed for the
occasion. and will give an extra room of
thirty-five by les feet. The clubwomen will
arrive at a gay time at Los Angeles, for
La Fiesta de los Flores" will be in prog
ress. This is well, for the conventionites
may have troubles of their own during the
session of the congress. The color question
is coming up for permanent settlement,
and things may become so warm in the
pretty clubhouse that outside distractions
Will be a welcome relief.

SUNNY WOMEN,

Who has not known the woman whose
disposition is described by that one word
"%sunny?" There's always a laugh Turk
ing on her lips. Her cheeks are ever
ready to dimple In smiles. Her house
hold influence is as frightening and
stimulating as the sunshine. Nothing
a be crueler than TO have this sunshine
blotted out by disease. But this is a
common cruelty. The young wife who
was the sunshine of the home becomes
its shadow. Every young wife should
know the value of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription In the protection and pres
ervation OF the health. 1t promotes
regularity. dries the drains which enfee-
bic body and mind, and cures infiamma-
ton, liberation and female weakness.

BOYCOTT UPHELD.
Remarkable Decision by the Supreme
Court of Missouri.

JEFFERSON. Mo-, March BIN the Su-
preme Court, sitting en- banc to-day, an
opinion was handed down declaring that
courts of equity have no power TO enjoin
labor organizations from enforcing boy
colts on corporations. The opinion rendered
by Judge Sherwood affirmed the judgment
of a lower court which had refused the
application of the Marks & Haas Jeans
Clothing Company of St. Louis for an in
junction to restrain Anthony Watson and
other officers of a local knights of Labor
organization and a branch of the United
Garment Workers of America in that city
from pushing a boycott.
Chief Justice Burgess and Justices Brace,
Cant and Marshall concurred In the opin-
ion and Judge Robson dissented. Judge
Valiant, who heard the case originally
on the Circuit Court bench, took no part in
hearing the appeal. The Supreme Court
holds that if the labor unions are not per-
mitted to tell the story of their wrongs
or their supposed wrongs by word of mouth
or with pen and print and TO endeavor to
get other persons to aid them by all peace
able means in securing redress OF such
wrongs, what becomes of free speech?

Women and Churches.

New York Telegram.
That the energies and abilities Of the
women members of any city church are
too much "frittered away through church
suppers, church dinners, and what are
popularity known as dime entertainments"
is the emphatic opinion Of the Rev. Au-
gusta Chaplin, d. D., of Mount Vernon. n.
Y. This opinion she expressed in a thor
oughly convincing manner at the Univer-
salist Women's Alliance, holding it's March
meeting in the Church of Our Father in
Brooklyn.
Women should not be counted upon to
supply the financial deficiencies of our big
city churches said DIR. Chaplin, in the
course of her address upon The Problems
of n City Church."
Their energies and abilities should not
be f~rittered away in church fairs, church
suppers, sewing circles. dime entertain
ments, and all the money raising schemes
now in vogue among our big popular
churches. For my part L wish the women
would go on strike. They are now so alb
sorbed in their suppers and their fairs that
they are in no position TO render efficient
aid to their pastors. Women should not
have to exc out in this way the amount
that ought 10 come in with regular contri-
buttons. Plain. straightforward methods
OF obtaining money are the only ones that
should have to be employed by a church.
At all events, the women should not have
to shoulder the financial burdens of the
church.

Harold Bauer's Manager Calls Him a
~"Subjective Player" and Explains.

The manager of Harold Bauer, who will
day afternoon, calls him a subjective
pianist" In explanation of this phrase he
says: ut is subjective art that convinces
even in these days, when personality is so
great a thing in a virtuoso, even as it is
among actors or public speakers. A sub
jective artist is first of all a musician in
the highest and best sense of the word, one
who knows not only what to do, but what
to refrain from doing; one who is master
of expression, yet without e-xtravagance
or undue sentimentality, a finished tech
nician who uses such means simply to
further artistic ends: one who is individual.
yet using such individuality i'm a manner
that the composers intent is pictured to
the listener with the utmost clearness and
the personality of the performer is forgot
ten for the moment in the completeness
of a perfect musical portrayal. Mr.. Bauer
is universally admitted TO be by the thou
sands of music lovers that have heard him
among the greatest of subjective artists:
one who combines all the above mentioned
qualities in such a manner as to make his
performances of the highest enjoyment as
well as of the greatest musical value. That
is the secret of his success. obtained in a
legitimate and unobtrusive manner. free
from a flourish of braZen trumpets. beating
of drums or clap-trap of any sort. The
story of his life is not of the legendary
or ultra romantic sort; rather a plain, sim
pie account of one who has ACCOMPLISHED
much with a great natural talent developed
and matured by conscientious, indefati-
gable work. Harold Bauer is of mixed
parentage, his father being a German by
birth and his mother English. He is now
