wealth. I am now seeking capital for
the purpose of building q railroad to
connect 'Kiwa. in the neighborhood
Of our capital, Daaresaalam, with Lake
Nyassa. This road, If built, will be
of immense value. for 1t will make
possible the control of trade between
Lake Nyassa and Lake Tanganicka.
Land is given to prospective set
tiers in German East Africa under
the most favorable conditions. 1t is
interesting to note, in this connection,
that large number of Beers have set
tied in our colony. German East
Africa's mineral wealth has been only
partly exploited. At Tramba, in the
Kilimagaro, a twenty days journey
from the coast, gold mines exist. Ger
man East Africa has an abundance Of
cattle, which are exported. Game also
abounds. ~ ..s... .-s. ...sf
Slavery in East Africa is gradually
becoming thing of the past, slave
dealers seing severely punished. The
result has been that many Arabs form
erly engaged in the traffic have be-
come very poor. We are still permit
ting the so-called house slavery, which
can be abolished only by gradual pro-
cesses. .
"Daaresaalam, the capital, is increas-
ing in size and is becoming an i'm
portant shipping center. 1t has the
best harbor on the African cost, and
is equipped with a dry dock.

Count von Goetzen's rule Of East
Africa has met the entire approval of
the German government. He was sent
to Africa not merely as military man
but as one who by travel and numer-
GUS explorations had become thorough
ly acquainted with African life and
conditions. His methods have been
unbureaucratic. and in every possible
way he has given active support to
the merchants and planters living in
the colony. He frequently holds meet
ings at which these elements are pres
ent and hears from them their griev-
ances. He has solved the difficult
problem of how to obtain men to
work on the planta lions by bringing
natives from districts in the interior
1t Is his aim to put the colony on
such a financial basis that it shall
be self-sustaining and financially in
dependent of the home government.
Gov. Won Goetzen is popular with
the natives, whom he has endeavor-
ed to treat humanely and fairly. He
hopes to establish a native council,
somewhat on the same principle as
that adopted by the British in India

simple proposition, after all. The
singing Of the bullet is the atmospheric
vibration which is created and the re-
progress of the bullet This cannot be
detected by the ear until the bullet
has crossed parallel line with the ear.
1t may sail over your head or whizz
close to the ground, but IL it passes
you at all the ear will catch the sound
OF its fight. To the soldier of many
battles the voice of the bullet is music.
He knows that he need have no dread
of the bullet that sings in his ears. 1t
Is the bullet that he does not hear that
must be feared. and it is this bullet
which always brings harm to him.. No
soldier ever heard the bullet which in
hicted wound on him. l was amused
by raw soldier who was attached to
our command. 1t was his first time on
the firing line. We were skirmishing,
and some sharpshooters were having
some fun at our expense. A bullet
whizzed close to him. Family we
could hear the crack of the rifle, but
it was not distinct enough to alarm
even a novice. The singing of the
bullet, however, brought blanched ex-
preston to his face. He did not vince,
however. We were lying in the edge
of the woods. Another bullet buzzed
by. I don't like the sound said the
younger soldier. Zip! Another bullet
spent the air close to his head He
was paler still. 'Comrade,' he said to
me. between bleached lips, L don't
want to be shot from ambush; let's
charge the devils" I told him not to
fear bullet that had spoken to him
on its flight, but he did not like the
idea of lying there In the woods and
listening to the voice of these invisible
messengers of death. Baltimore

these are forged of quality Of steel

shouldered to form a base on which
the plate can rest, while steel pin

One side Of the plate is left solid, but
three sides have openings exactly sim

may be provided to cover them. If the

pot or cool off another, all that is nee
essary is to swing the top of the stove

escaped destruction, and now it is like
ly to be turned into historical mu-

and erect a business building on the
site, when John e. Parsons, William
II. Parsons and J. II. Whittemore,
their cousin, purchased the property
for $4,000.
The inn stands in the village square,
and dates back to 1871. when Peter
Brown presided over its affairs. After

possession, and In Washington's let

MoDEsTY OF THE TRULY GREAT
How Gladstone and Darwin Regarded
Themselves.

How Gladstone and Darwin Regarded
Themselves.
I'm Studies in Contemporary Biogra-
phy," which James Bryce has just
published, are two stories which have
caused some of the critics to express
astonishment at the "modesty of the
great" says an exchange. The stories
are these:
Meeting Mr.. Gladstone in the lobby.
and seeing his face saddened by the
troubles in Ireland, Mr. Bryce tried to
divert his thoughts by mentioning a
recent discovery-to wit: that Dante
years by lectureshlp at Ravenna. Mr..
Gladstone's face lit up at once, and he
said: How strange 1t Is to think that
these great souls, whose works are a
beacon light to all the generations that
have come after them, should have had
cares and anxieties to vex them In their
daily life, just like the rest of us COM
mon mortals."
''The words reminded me-" adds the
author, that a few days before I had
heard Mr.. Darwin, in dwelling upon
the pleasure visit paid by Mr.. Glad
stone had given him, say: And he
talked just as If he had been an ordin-
ary person like one of ourselves. The
two men were alike unconscious of
their greatness
1t is only the little who think them
selves great. They are like those who
do not know much, and, therefore,
imagine that there is not much to
know. The great do not think them
selves so. just as the learned are over
whelmed by their ignorance. In the
same way, it is not the socially import
ant who are affected and impertinent,
but the unimportant

A Town Doubly Incorporated.

A peculiar complication has arisen
in Oregon over the question whether
a town incorporated two times over
is legally Incorporated at all. A Sen
ate bill and a House bill incorpor-
ating the town of Adams in Umatilla
county were passed by both houses
and reached the governor, who signed
them both. They were supposed to
be exactly alike, but on examination 1t
was found that the boundaries are
slightly differently defined. In the
bill which last became law and thus
superseded the first bill the boundary
lines do not go completely around the
town.
