mended by his physician. His ideas
were formed by personal observation

Boer cause infinitely, saying that for
century England's policy toward the
Beers had been one of duplicity, greed
and treachery. He charged the contin-
uous secret arming of the Kaffir races
by the British, in violation of solemn
treaties and accused the British of in
citing the KaffirS to attacks on the
Beers in order to seemingly justify in
reference, which was always a disguise
for a territory-g ra bling intention.
Mr.. Davis asserts that the Beers have
been Slandered and their institutions
misrepresented. in order to excite SYM
pathy for England's cause. He says
the Beers always treated the British
prisoners kindly, but that the relation
of prisoner and captor could not be
reversed in a similar state ment.
Mr.. Davis says legions of troops have
been required to chastise a paltry 10000
men and youths unframed in the muir
derous art of modern militarism and as
sertS that England would be in better
business endeavoring to administer just
government to her own people than in
trying to reform other governments

promised to do everything possible to
enlist American sympathy for the
Beers, returned to America and re-
signed from office. His efforts in this
country are well known.
In his book Mr.. Davis says: when l
learned all the real facts, and the ac-
tual conditions existing in South Africa
from actual observation, 1 became thor

ever been SO cruelty misrepresented as

THAT CHAPTER.

A Chapter on SCOTS Emul-

The gist of that chapter
usually reads like this:

proved-soon a little stronger
child more lively-weighs
more.
And so it goes till the child
