"InlS tool OI Chamberlain has car
ried out his mission faithfully, and to-
day enjoys the satisfaction of having
turned South Africa into a wilderness
| and robbed thousands of innocent peo-
pie of their homes. Lord Miner is a
typical jingo, autocratc beyond endur-
ance and filled with contempt for all
that is not English. He let no oppor-
tunity go by to harassing the republic
and putting his foot on its neck
I'VE have seen how the attempt upon
the independence of the republic failed
But now Mr. Chamberlain was to set
to work to try whether he could not be
more successful. With his assistance,
Jamesons raid was to be replaced by
gigantic British raid
His first step was to invite me to
come to England to confer on Trans
vaal matters while he began by de-
claring that he was not prepared to dis
Gus article four of the London conven-
ton, the only article which still restrict
ed in any way the foreign relations of
the South African republic. One would
really think, to judge from this invita-
tion of Mr. Chamberlain's that it was
the republic and not England that had
to make amends. At the same time
Chamberlain sent off another dispatch
in which he proposed that a sort of
home rule should be granted to johann
nesburg, and he published this dispatch
in the London press before / received it.
When one reflects that it was the very
question of home rule for ireland that
caused Mr.. Chamberlain to withdraw
from Gladstones party, ana from rad
ical to jingo, one must stand astounded
at his impudence in making this sug-
gestion to me-"
Escapes Capture.
The aggressive move of the Beers at
the opening of the war is sufficiently
explained that British troops We're be-
ing massed upon their borders and that
this military aggression was being aid
ed by diplomatic delays in negotiations.
Mr.. Kruger does not tell the story of
the active operations in the field, be-
cause he took no part in them His
labors We're confined To the sending and
receiving of dispatches night and day at
Pretoria with all the administr trative du-
ties that accumulate in war times, Once
when he visited the BOer camp at Mod
der river he narrowly escaped capture
at the hands of the British
At last came the day in 1900 when he
had to leave Pretoria to avoid becom-
ing prisoner OF Lord Roberts ad-
vance army. one hour before his de-
parture he received the American lad
Jimmy Smith, who brought him an adj
dress of sympathy from the schoolboys
of PHILADELPHIA. The event seems To
have impressed him quite deeply,
In Exile.
In few simple words the old man
tells of his sorrow over leaving his aged
wife, whom he knew he should never
see again on earth. She died soon after
his arrival IN Europe. When he had
for a few weeks with the
burghers in the eastern part of the
Transvaal the active leaders took mat
ters in their hands and decided that
Kruger could aid their cause more by
going to Europe and seeking assist

NATURES OWN CURE.
hyomei Cures Catarrh Without
Dangerous 0rugging Of the
Stomach.

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has 1t been possible to truthfully say
that a remedy for catarh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for few minutes
four times day, and during that time
every particle of air taken into the
air passages and lungs in impregnated
with the germ killing and health CIV
ing Hyomei. 1t is the only treatment
that cures catarrh. tr
Stomach drugging often causes dis.
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases and never makes a
permanent cure of catarrh. Hyomei
not only gals the germs In the throat
and nose but penetrates to the
minutest air cells in the lungs and
enters the blood with the oxygen,
killing the germs in the blood. 1t
frees the mucous membrane from
poisonous microbes and gives perfect
health.
A complete outfit costs but 81 90 and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suf-
hcient Hyomei for more than a
months treatment.
The leading druggists of this CITY
have so much faith In the merit of
Hyomei that they agree to return the
money to any purchaser who may
be dissatisfied.
