A Chicago man has observed that
Good deeds r better than real es-
tate deeds-some of the latter are
worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend a helping
hand. You cannot possibly lose by it."
Most men appreciate a kind word and
encouragement more than substantial
help. There are persons in this COM

good friend, cheer up. A few doses
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will

when you use that medicine. 1t al

NEW HOME FOR BoERs.
A Colony to Be Established In Old
Mexico.

A Colony to BE Established In Old
Mexico.
Negotiations have been closed for
the purchase in old Mexico, 100 miles
from the Texas border, of 100000
ing homes for 300 Boer families to be
brought from South Africa by Jan. /,
says the st. Louis Republic. The land
lies in the state of Tamaulipas, and
was selected from a tract of 100000
acres, on the balance of which the
! former citizens of the Transvaal re-
public have an option.
Announcement of the close of the
negotiations was made the other night
by Captain w. s. O'Donnell, who
fought under General Joubert in the
war in Africa and who has just re-
turned from old Mexico in company
with General G. D. Joubert, a nephew
Of the noted Boer fighter.
'"The climate of old Mexico is sim
liar to that of South Africa" said Cap
tain O'Donnell, land it is believed
that the Boer people will find it agree
able. There are about 100000 Beers
in South Africa, and many of them are
leaving the country. l believe that
thousands Of them will eventually set
tie in old Mexico.
"The land which we have purchased
was owned by Senator Butler of South
Carolina and Senator Pettigrew of
North Dakota. The price agreed upon
is $3.50 per acre, and we will have
twelve years in which to pay it. The
Mexican government has agreed to ex-
empt the Beers from taxation for the
next fifteen years."
Captain O'Donnell says the Beers in
the Transvaal are extremely poor. The
gold mines. he says, are now owned
by an immense syndicate and only a
few of them are in operation.

ABDUL's COSTLY SLEEP.
Big Price For Slumher That IL Paid
by Turkeys Sultan.

~ 4 GASS VI = Mn ~
by Turkeys Sultan.
Sleep that costs 5000 a night seems
pretty expensive, but that is what the
sultan of Turkey, who is right in the
public eye at the present time. is now
paying for the privilege of more or less
tranquil repose. writes the Constantine
pie correspondent Of the Washington
Post. The money is received by the
members of the special military staff
which guards Abdul Hamid's bedroom
and which consists of two generals. u
colonel, a major, a captain and several
soldiers. For their nights work each
Of the two generals gets so Turkish
pounds, or about $235; the colonel 40,
the major 80, the captain 30 and each
ing slightly over $500 in American mon
ey. The officers and men get their fee
every morning Immediately they have
been relieved and don't have to wait
for it like some pretty big nations to
whom Abdul Hamid owes money.
This expensive night guard Of the
sultan's has been maintained by him
only since the recent assassination of
the royal couple Of Servia. OF course
the 'timorous ruler Of Turkey always
has been particularly well guarded at
night. but the murders at Belgrade
scared Abdul Hamid almost out of his
wits, and he Immediately determined
that he would surround his bedcham-
Der with the most vigilant men who
could be secured and make it to their
interest to protect him. The command
of the special night guard is %intrusted
to eight Of the sultan's most faithful
generals. two of whom are on duty
every night. Owing chiefly to this and
other precautions that the ruler has
adopted recently it is estimated that
the weekly expense Of running Yildiz
kiosk is over $4,000.

Of the goldenrod spreads where the soft
breeZes blow.
The hills that were green and doomed
near in July
Seem distant and bluishly blend with

Beyond where the slender streams lazily
flow.
Meath the elms that were green but a
glad week ago,
Brown leaves are beginning to fit to and
fro,
The last of the nestlings has learned
how to fly.
The roses are gone.
But where the vines stretch in many a
row
Rich clusters OF grapes are beginning to
show
Their soft tints of purple. and thick on
the dry.
Brown turf meath the trees the ripe ap-
pies lie;
Oh. the world is still good. still is lovely,
although
The roses are gone.
