KLOOFMAN'S
FORT
By Charles Lee Taylor
Copyright, 1901, by
A. :. Richardson

"Aye, it is good-it is good" said old
kloofman, the burgher, when the
Transvaal declared war against the
English. The English have ever made
US trouble. and now we shall drive
them beyond the borders and never let
one of them set foot on our land again.
All, but like this declaration of war;
But the English are many. father,
and they know much of war" replied
his daughter Mary.
What of that:' he almost shouted
as he walked to and fro. We are
thousands and tens of thousands. and
We also know something of war. Re
sides, we are at home, and they must
come from over the sea. They stand
up shoulder to shoulder to shoot. while
we take cover and make every bullet
tell. They will get lost on the veldt
and among the kopjcs, while we know
every rod of ground. l say we shall
kill them off like flies and he rid of
them forever, and it is good-good-

Kloofman had passed his eighticth
birthday. and, though able to oversee
things, there was no more actual farm
work for him on the broad acres
Mary, his only child and motherleSs
for several years. was now a girl Of
twenty. The farmhouse of stone sat
in the shadow of Il rugged mountain.
and the Kloofman lands stretched
across the vcldt for two miles.
Within two days after the declara-
tion of war burghers were passing the
Eouse on foot and on horseback as
they made haste to report to the near
est town. There were boys of sixteen
and men of sixty. and when they halt
ed for water and to exchange words
Kloofman looked ut the gray haired
men and exclaimed:
"Wait for me. l will get my rife and
horse and go with you, Never shall

"Nay, nay" replied youth and gray
beard together. "A man of sixty is not

eighty has seen his best days and must
sit by his fireside and read of the vic
tories we shall win"

DAYS later when Il battle had been
won and there was rejoicing from
house to house all over the land, old
Jacob sat under the big apple tree shad-
ing his front door and wept.
What is it, father asked the
daughter as she left her work to ca

Think of it, daughter" he continued
as fresh tears came. "Of all the houses

Yes. Karl Onderman- an honest

Cotton Letter

Raleigh, n. c., Dec. 19.-After the events
of yesterday, the uphrn today could
hardly be termed unexpected. Liverpool
advanced about forty American points,
which lifted that market away above the
New Yo.k price. On the advance the
foreign market became wild and de-
moralized and this started the ball rolling
here. The failure of a small firm in New
York helped the excitement and for a
while the market boiled. There was not
the volume of business noted during the
early stages of the advance, bat every
one had more than they wanted to do
We cannot let this opportunity pass to
speak a word of caution. The price has
now passed beyond the dreams of the
most enthusiastic bull, and when you get
thirteen cent cotton YOU can see break
of serious proportions almost any time.
This is now a big game. A game for big
stakes. and it takes plenty of money to
play It. There should be no long cotton
held now that is not protected by full
cent a pound Every one must be III
shane TO meet storm, for all ships do
meet them and this market will as sure
as the sun rises. Take profits, cash IN
your paper, and take out good money, and
then stand ready for the first smash.
