Those advocating the FIRST view contend
that luasmuch as the State has control OF

policy and good business methods would
suggest placing IL Oh the market at low

Had to be a Candidate.

Apropos of a point he desired to
make, Hamilton Mabe told this story
at the Aldine Association the other
evening of an old negro who expert
enced religion and of his master, whose
conversion was punctuated with pro-
family. 1t was just after the Civil
War The negro had been the colo
nels body servant as a slave and re-
manned in that capacity even after re
ceiying his freedom. He Joined the
Presbyterian Church.
Look here, George" said the colo
mel, tell me about this predestination
and the elect. You don't believe your
old master is doomed to hell, do you!
Don't you think he will go to heaven
with the elect?"
Respect and love for the old swearing
master did not overcome the newly &C
quired religion, says the New York
Times, but there was cunning and dip
lomacy in his answer.
Il nevah heahed OBJ nobody" replied
George, who done got elected who

hours a week to this work. One and a
half per cent of all the school children
in Germany stutter., AS in nearly all
cases the difficulty in speaking arises
from a peculiar nervous condition and
is not due to any physical malforma-
ton, the specialists are confident of
being able to cure nearly all the cases
which they find
The system of cure consists largely
In making the child speak slowly. in
teaching him how to properly use his
lips and tongue in forming words. and
in correcting his nervousness. That
stammering can be cured has been re-
allied since the time that Demosthenes
walked by the seashore declaiming
with a pebble in his mouth. 1t is a
little singular that the Germans, who
have been supposed to be race rather
lacking in nervousness, should sudden
ly develop into a nation of sufferers.
Perhaps the strenuous life into which
the Emperor has plunged the country
has been little to much for its ner-
vous system.

the present declarations.

dence occupied by the burgher delegates,
adjoining Lord Kitchener's house in Pre-

The document lay on a table, ready.
Amid profound silence the Boer leaders
took pen. in order of precedence, and
affixed their signatures, thus surrender
ing the independence for which they had
SO CALAMITY struggled.
The announcement of peace in South
Africa was hilariously celebrated in Lon
don Monday night. There was a tremen-
dous noise in the streets, pandemonium
Of horns and cheers and the coarse tests
of costers.
Women, many carrying babies, boys,
drunken loafers and others, glad of any
excuse to defy the law and order were
the principal elements in the ragged pro-
cessions passing and repassing through
the principal streets.
The Liberal members of the House of
Commons declared freely that peace in
South Africa might have been secured a
year earlier and upon better terms had
not the British government been SO OBJ
durate. In some quarters the comment
on this peace with honor ending Of
the war was that Great Britain has thu
peace and the Beers have all the honor.
