+ ALL FOR HIS COUNTRY'S SAKE J

/ 1t was on June 5. 1902, that the two
wretched troopers engaged In this final
battle Of Garies-seyeral days after
peace had been declared, 1t is true, but
made necessary by the desperate atti-
tude of the fugitives toward the Brit
lsh crown. This is the explanation that
Van Rhyn himself has made of his
hight. He has made 1t with a pa
thetic tone of voice, when his thoughts
| reverted to the death of Col. Cooper,
the friend of his boyhood; but pathos
has given place TO Il sturdier and more
revengeful note when his mind turned
| TO the recollection of the cause for
which he fought, the principle of the
British and the overthrow of Kruger.
Franz Van Rhyn is an exile from his
native land and he has told his tale as
an explanation of his presence in the
United States. Maritz Is dead, as he
could not long survive the fever that
beset him, and his body now lies in
American soil.
THE poor fellow was regarded by the
Beers as their fourth commandant in
the scale Of Importance" said the sur
viving soldier as he finished the account
of the death of Col. Charley" Cooper.
He and together raised IL 900 men In
Cape Colony TO fight for the African re-
public.
After we had made ourselves safe
in German territory we took vessel
and went to Madeira. Thence we ship
ped TO Southampton, remaining there
several days In disguise. We called
ourselves the brothers Wilson, and
during our stay there my hand never
left the butt Of my revolver. 1t would
have gone hard with the man who tried
to take me. When the health of Com
mandant Marltz permitted we sailed
for America. Maritz died at Chicago
OF the rest of the tweny-six men that
made the ride from Lilyfontaine to the
German border or were taken on the
field at Carries l know nothing"
The name of Van Rhyn was made ia
nous In Denver recently by the report
of his intention to start an ostrich
farm In Colorado. The Boer lighter
has determined to make this his home
until the English see f1t to Issue him
a pardon. This he does not expect, and
hence he will engage in the endeavor
with which he is familiar and import
ostrlchs from his fathers farm to
start flock of his own.
Van Rhyn is only 20 years old, accord
ing to his own statement, but he tells
a remarkable story. One would be
prone to doubt 1t If he did not carry
papers that seem to establish his iden-
tlty and lend credence to what he says.
He wears on his vest medal Of the
Matabele war In 1893, when he says he
fought with the Charter company Of
Cecil Rhodes; also a Mollobach medal
which he says was presented to him by

TREE AS AN iNQUISlTOR.
Bears Fruit Which Malagasys Think
Poisonous, Fatal Only to Criminals.

There is a peculiar tree Indigenous
to Madagascar which is believed by
the natives to possess the power Of
divination. They are firmly of the
opinion that, while an ordinary person
may eat Its fruit with impunity, a
criminal will die after partaking Of
the smallest morsel of 1t. The tree
is known as the tangen. For centuries
1t was the custom to use the fruit of
the tangen for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning whether criminals charged
with grave offenses were guilty or not.
In each case the prisoner was
brought into court and the judge
thereupon solemnly handed him Il fruit
from tangen tree and told him that
il he ate it and 1t did him no harm he
would be considered innocent, but that
IL 1t killed him he would be considered
guilty. AS there is a great deal of
poison in the fruit 1t can readily be
seen that very few, II indeed any, were
able to pass through this ordeal I'M
scathed.
had great political influence or consid-
erable wealth managed to escape
through the connivance Of the judges,
but, on the other hand, the criminal
records tell of many cases In which
prisoners died horrible death very
soon after they had eaten the noxious
fruit.
More civilized methods Of adjudica
ton now prevail in Madagascar, but
though this barbarous custom Is obso-
lete, the tangen tree is regarded with
almost as much aversion as 1t ever
was. A proof Of this may be found
in the fact that n French naturalist
recently tried to obtain some branches
and fruit Of the trees, but, though lie
asked several natives to aid him IN
the search he was unable to obtain the
slightest assistance from any Of them.

this banterng cry, but the clear air
bore to the Boer marksman the sound
of a fallen body's impact upon the
earth. The Afrikander had punctured
his challenge with a leaden exclama-
tion point!
As Cooper fell another Englishman
galloped to the spot.

ed toward the bride on Wilson's rid
erless horse, the English trooper lifted
himself, bleeding and fatigued, TO level

ever know what his thoughts were as
he looked for the last time, upon the
enemy who had once been his special
protege In school, the former f4-year-
old boy whose quarrels with the bulles
Of the Cape Town academy had always
been his quarrels, the subject Of many
a fist fight In which he had made good
his claim to the friendship Of Franz
Van Rhyn. Only the latters thoughts
are left to speak for the tragedy OF this
moment, when another Afrlkander bull
let tore through the Englishman's
vltals and left him still as the breath
of nature among the sand doons.
Il could not have done it," murmured
the Boer as he led two English horses
to the rear of mound; "but would not
be taken alive 1t was either his life
or mine"
Behind the mound there lay in the
worst tortures of fever his superior
officer, Commandant Albert Maritz,

other death in the British ranks. Franz
Van Rhyn and Albert Maritz were now
safe on their way to Koegas, across the

WHAT A sNEEZE PORTENOs
Superstitions Which Are Associated
with This Staple Act.

with This Sirp Pile Act.
In almost every land, civilized and
unciyilized. the act of sneezing is re-
garded with more or less of supersti-
ton. There is an equivalent In nearly
all languages for the God bless you
OF the Irish peasant when person Is
moved to declare the presence Of a
tickling sensation In his nostrils To
this salutation In France Is added
sometimes the phrase land preserve
you from the fate of Tycho Brahe,"
who is believed TO have got rid of a
death OF cold" by single sneeze-
which killed him. In England "A regu-
lar formula Is used: "Once for wish,
twice for kiss, three times for let
ter and four times for disappoint-
nient."
In Italy the salutation is simply
"Felicita." or May you be fortunatew
In India 1t Is customary when one
sneezes to say, May You live" and
the reply runs, Long life to you"
Should a Hindu chance to sneeze
while he Is going through his peculiar
ablution practices In the Ganges he
will make kind OF sign over his

In ancient times the Romans, hold
Ing the Idea that sneezing between
noon and midnight was a good omen
believed that between midnight and
noon 1t WAS most unlucky, and II they
should chance to sneeze while getting
mp In the morning they would at once
get into bed again. There must be
something In this, especially on very
cold mornings, but boys home for
their holidays are not as rule super
stitious, and 1t might be difficult for
them to impress their parents with a
saving belief In this happy superstl-
ton.
The Germans say Good health"
because they maintain, and not with
out reason, that sneezing Is warn
ing Of approaching cartarrh and also
marks the moment when a charm, a
wish or suggestion may drive 1t
away. The Perslans go further In this
idea; they say what practically
amounts to THANK God!" because
they consider that the sneeze has actu-
ally driven away some evil spirit that
has attempted to get into mans
body to feed upon his sacred fires.
The people Of the Amazulu go even
further than this into superstition and
arrive at the stage of actual devil
worship. No doubt they would style
it "angel worship" but the things to
which these so-called angels are sup
posed to lend themselves put that
high-sounding name quite out of the
question. Their unclvilized familiar
spirits are said to give some sign
when they are near and able to help
their votaries.
