DUTCH IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Are Better as Farmers and POliti-
clans Than the English, Says
an EnxIish Writer.

The Dutch are better men on the
land than the English. Mr.. Rhodes
affirmed it as strongly y as Benjamin
Kidd. Not only are they better men
but they are much cleverer politicians.
writes w. T. Stead in Booklovers Mag
azine. DR.. Gordon Sprigg, the pres
ent premier of Cape Colony, told me
last year that the rough Dutch farm
ers from the back country had such a
natural intutive genius for politics
that after three weeks in parliament
they could give points to any British
member who had been in the house
for months.
Not only are they better men all
round on land, not only are they ADLER
politicians all round in the houses of
parliament, but, what is far more i'm
portant, they are better breeders OF
men. The British colonist, following
the example of the Frenchman and the
New EnglanUer. shrinks from the
primal task OF multiplying and increas-
ing and replenishing the earth. The
Dutch cradle is never empty. IT the
hand that rocks the cradle sways the
world, it is not less true that the race
that fills the cradle will possess the
world. Hence the destiny Of South
Africa seems tolerably certain TO be
that of a federation of self governing
states, preeminently Dutch, which viii
or will not be sheltered by the union

imperial government to recognize
that it has no authority over African

ASSESSING A BRONX LOTLET.
rOrty-FOur Square Inche - Of GrOun d
in New York Valued at Two
Hundred Dollars.

The assessors have been called
upon to assess what is rela lively the
most valuable piece of real estate il
the entire city, says the New 9orl
Commercial Advertiser, and have ap
praised it at $500 This may seen
paradox. But 5000 is full value
for the parcel-and the parcel is il
the Bronx. The "lotlet" is at the
northeast corner of Third avenue
and One Hundred and Forty-nintl
street. 1t is triangular in shape ant
measures 6 inches on the avenue, IA
inches on the street and 13 inches on
the northeasterly line. 1t, therefore,
contains 40 square inches.
Last May it sold for 5000, or S5 a
square inch. That would be 1870 a
square foot, or at the rate of 81 500,
900 for full lot of $500 square feet,
a price unequaled even in he tinan-
cial section of Manhattan. Prior to
the adoption of the full value as
sessment plan the spot" Of land,
which is about big enough for a man
to stand upon on one tOot, was as
sessed at about $50 and the taxes
were about 70 cents. The assessors
evidently read the accounts of the
sale on May 20 last year, tucked the
clippings away for future use and
swooped down on the owner with an
assessment on January IL of $500.
The taxes this year, therefore, will
be at the $1.45 rate, $500.

The Woman and the Window.

Why is it. asks an exchange that
woman can struggle until she is red in
the face and worn out both in temper
and body by window in a railroad
train in her vain endeavors to close or
open it when all that man has to do
is to walk up and go over exactly the
same line of action that she has already
exhausted, and down comes the refrac-
tory window in jiffy? 1t is most
humilating fact, but very true one,
nevertheless, that not five women out
of a dozen ever succeed in arranging Il
window to their satisfaction. They
pull and tug until they are embarrassed
and finally in pleading manner look
around at some slip Of a man, who
without any nonsense brings about the
desired effect. while the woman looks
on in silent wonder at his marvellous
skill and deXterity.

JOKES BY COLLEGE MEN.

Some of Them Are Handed DoVn
From Generation to Generat1on.
There are some college jeux d'esprit
which time and the absence of their
own sustaining atmosphere have not
wholly desiccated, says William Math-
ews in the Saturday Evening Post-as,
for example, the reply of a senior,
whose class was studying mental phi
losophy, when asked, "Does an effect

sometimes" "Give an example," "a
man wheeling barrow" That student
would certainly have distinguished him
self at special pleading if he had be-
come a lawyer who, when asked by his
professor one Monday morning if he
had attended church the day before
replied, Yes, sir; l attended the First

ice at the First church yesterdays? re-

The Lords Interim diary,

Along with the snug little fortune
that Deacon Jones had accumulated as
the leading grocer of Gooseville Cove,
his bump of self esteem, which was
originally fairly large, had increased
proportionately, until, as the richest
man in the Cove, he felt himself enti-
tied to considerable deference-its pa
iron saint, in fact. When one day good
old Parson Abbeck went to him for a
subscription to home missions-which
he got-he remarked, Deacon, l can
not help noticing that your fellow citi-
zens seem to hold you in high esteem"
''Waal, yis," replied the deacon COM
placently, guess that's bout so. The
Covers do look up to me, parson. that's

THE DEADLY BRUTE.
Expert Is Satisfied That It Is the
Wood Tick.

Dr. l.. R. Wilson, the expert from
the university of Minnesota, who has
been in Missoula for the past three
weeks investigating spotted fever
cases and trying to ascertain the orr
gin of the disease, has left for his
Minnesota home. DR.. Wilson has
practically completed his expert
ments here, although, if possible, lie
will return later for another weeks
study of the disease.
AS yet he has prepared no complete
report on the subject of spotted
fever, but will prepare a statement
of the results of his investigation
upon his return home.
The expert is positive now that the
cause of spotted fever is the bite of
wood ticks, impregnated with a poi
son which in one state is dormant
and in another virulent and active.
AS to where or how the wood ticks
| become inocculated with the poison,
the expert has not as yet decided, at
| least for publication.
| During Dr. Wilson's investigation
| ne Gau Une opportunity Oh Studying d
n0naber of cases of spotted fever
lWhicu were brought to Missoula for
treatment. In addition he has expert
mented widely with the gophers in
different sections of the country, and
it is believed he will be able to show
that the woodticks acquire their
deadly virus from the alternating
animals.
The expert presented his bill to
the county auditor. Tt amounted to
$50991 Half of this will be borne
by Missoula county, and the remain
der by Ravalli. This will leave $14f
for the county to use infurther inves
legations.
Dr. w. f. Chowning of Minneapolis
has arrived to take the place of DIR
Wilson in continuing the investiga
tons. He will also use the labora
tory at the Northern Pacific hospita
, and will be paid by Missoula county
: DR.. Chowning was here last year ant
will resume the investigation whel'
he left off.

What has been called tht mystery

at last, says a LOnGo aJlegram in
the New York H raLt For some six
weeks past it ha> Teen discussed by
everybody, and this week it has been
The main topic everywhere. 1t S an
extraordinary story just now.
More than four years ago a man
named Dougal, along with Camille
Holland, middleaged gentlewoman,
bought an old farm surrounded by
wide deep moat, in remote part
of the country, far away from any
other habitation. Shortly after the
purchase the lady disappeared most
unaccountably, but the wonder died
down very soon. The lady was for
gotten. Nobody, not even her bank
ers were suspicious of anything
wrong. Checks reaching the bank
in Miss Hollands name were duly
honored.
For nearly four years this went on
and it is questionable if the mystery
would ever have been revealed ha,
hn1
probably by success, carried the for
geries of Miss Hollands name to,
far. and was arrested on that charge
Then the question arose: Wher
was the lady?
The mystery was, in the first place
time never had their suspicion
aroused, and second, how a lady {
her years and of such gentle nature
religious views and benevolent cha
acter could have consented to all
herself with Dougal without MARI
age.
Then, foul play being suspecte
the work of digging and draining
the moat began. 1t was hard, Il
pleasant, dirty task, but the poll,
kept at it. Sono the country was e
cited by the report that the body
a woman had been discovered in Il
moat. The features We're unreco
nizable, but the clothes, boots al
other unmistakable signs proved
the body of unhappy Camille HI
land.
Surgical examination revealed t
fact that she had been murdered
shot through the head by some p'
son from behind.
Dougal. while not yet charged wi
murder, is stamped as the murder
as evidence shows that he was
last person seen in the murder
woman's company. On the mig
when she disappeared, Dougal dre
away with her in trap and return
shortly after, saying Miss Holla
had gone to London, but would
back the same night. But she
not return. Then Dougal hims
left, and the disappearance OF M
Holland was forgotten until his
