out and leave it's flag at home shall
cease to be an American"
The lecture was Il series of interest
ing anecdotes bearing upon the we'll
known battles fought during the war,
supplemented by the personal OBJ
scrvations of Col. Blake upon the
character and conduct of the British
officers and soldiers in contrast with
the Beers.
"Oom Paul Kruger" he said, "is an
old and feeble man, but he is the
greatest patriot that l have ever
seen. He was man that would die
+; for his country. We forced him into
n carriage against his will and sent
him to Delagoa Bay, with tears in his
eyes, after he had protested that he
would not leave his people; and be-
| fore he went he handed over his
money for the cause. That is the
way President Kruger left his people
that is the way he stole so much
money. When Lord Roberts says
that he left his people and stole
money he knows he lies. If President
Kruger had ever even thought about
doing such thing the Dutch today.
instead of worshipping him, would
despise him. He is the most popular
man in South Africa to-day"
Butler, Col. Blake said, was the
greatest fighter in the English army.
Kitchener and Roberts could fight
women and children, or negroes
armed with sticks, but they could not
fight armed men. Butler could fight
anything, but he had not the smooth
smiling that Roberts had. For every
man killed in the war we lost six
women and children.
"Evcry farmhouse has been Destroy
cd in that country. 1t is one bleak,
barren desert. Everything that the
Beers possessed in this world has
been taken from them. If you tell me
that the Beers are going to submit to
the English l tell you they are not
You never SAW such liberty lovers in
the world. Every Boer in that coun-
try is to-day more determined to
down England than he ever was be-
fore in his life. The time Is coming
when he will down England, and it is
not going to be SO very far Off. When
that time comes the war will last
about GO days, and the English will
all be swept from that country. In
other words, you will see the British
empire begin to disintcgrate, and from
the debris Of the wreck you will see
rise up little emerald island, free
and independent"

"Another peculiar form Of oath was
the one which was taken at the grave
of the affirmant's dearest relation.
The writer has been unable to learn
the origin of this oath, but is strongly
of the opinion that it is of pagan
origin.
"In O'Cleary's annals of the Four
Masters we find the Ugaine Nor, be-
fore his death ammo mundi 4GO6, 'ex-
acted oaths, by all the elements visible
and invisible, from the men of Erin
in general that they would never con-
tend for the sovereignty of Erin with
his children or his race
"Oaths in Ireland have invariably
been of two kinds, the judicial and
extra-judicial. In the judicial oath
the affirmant invokes the pains and
penalties of perjury in case he speaks
falsely; in the extra judicial oath the
affirmant invokes the Divine venge-
ance in case he speaks falsely. A
man taking false extra judicial oath
does not incur the pains and penalties
of perjury: he commits sacrilege and
stamps himself as a moral delinquent.
"Oaths have been universally re-
spected in Ireland. In no country in
the world is an informer more alb
horred and detested. How can Ian
guage in it's poverty paint the wretch
who takes his perfidy to Heaven and
seeks to make an accomplice of his
God? From the day when Judas. that
distinguished informer of antiquity,
seized with remorse, threw away his
blood-money and hanged himself. in
formers have been universally loathed
and despised.' .."
"The Celtic mind has always had
a distinctive leaning towards the
mystical and supernatural, and the
various ruins of raths and cromlechs
are manifest evidences of the religious
observances of the Druidical priests
who were powerful influence in the
days of old.
"Long before the English system of
jurisprudence had been formed from
the inchoate mass of early legal max
inns, we find complete system Of
legal ethics in early Ireland, and this
also shows that the judicial oath was
known and observed there.
eff the magic wand could dispel the
clouds that enshroud the past of ro-
nance and literature, antiquarians
would revel in a field of delightful re-
search. In the present revival Of
Celtic lore and history and language,
litterateurs the world over are look
ing forward with hope and cheer in
the conviction that these researches
will be crowned with glorious sue
cess"

South Africa. l would have liked to
see them run up against the Tommys.
But had some good boys there"
'"The Boer," said Col. Blake, "is a
good farmer. He is just like one of
our southwestern men. Like him he
loves liberty, and like him again he
knows how to shoot. But he is a
devoutly religious man. Every man,
woman and child in the country reads
the Bible. That is the savage that
the English nation was telling YOU
about before the war. That is the
savage of South Africa, that came SO
near destroying that English nation.
'The real cause of the war was
the gold fields. Those fields were be.
fore the eye of one of the biggest
rascals that ever lived, Cecil j.
Rhodes.
"We got all our information about
the bigotry of the Dutch from the
London Times. We never knew one
solitary thing about it in South
Africa.
"We crossed the border on Oct. II.
We had to move very slowly, for fear
we might run into something. 1t was
raining constantly, day and night. l
shall never forget the first time we
ran into something. 1t was solid

regulars surrendered to AZ unframed

''That cold, British steel that has

saw it, and 1t looked awfully pretty.
1t was always going in another direc-
tion, and we knew 1t was going to

part Of October We looked at the
English, and they looked at us. Sun

The boys thought there was dynamite
in that balloon. You know an Irish
man thinks lot of dynamite. The
next morning l went out very early,
and the first thing knew I looked
right into the muzzle of 36 cannon.
We were put into the center position,
and 3G shells fell all around us. That
battle ragged until o'clock in the af-
ternoon. The boys were absolutely
enveloped in smoke and shell. Very
early, about o'clock, it got so hot
that the Beers left the gun, and Long
Tom could not be fired. We were
called upon. called up the boys, and
all of them wanted to 60. Finally we
let seven 90, and those boys ran that
gun to the end of the fight. OF those
seven there is not one living today.
I call them heroes because they saved
that gun and saved the day, in my
opinion.
"From the first day to the last, in
South Africa, the English never
brought flag on the battlefield, ex-
cept one, and that was their favorite
flag, the white flag. Whenever an
army is afraid to take it's colors to the
battlefield you may make up your
mind that it cannot win anything.

He was much am noyed by the persistent attentions which the police paid him as 6 marked man. He was shadowed night and day, both by men in uni form and citizens clothes. So he hit upon the expedient of making a dunn my to do duty for him. This stuffed image of himself he sat in chair in the loggia, with, it's back toward the street. The stratagem worked we'll. While stolid-looking police spies patrolled before the house, the correspondent, day after day, slipped out by the side door, wearing blue goggles and 8 new slouch hat, and attended unnolested to his business. The mannikin sat in the chair, with occasional interruptions, from nine in the morning till ten at night, and was pulled inside by string, at bed time. On the morning of his de- parture for the United States the correspondent put the mannikin out with it's wooden face toward the street, displaying a small placard fastened in front, reading: Thanks, I'm off.''

 The three highest mountains in the United States, not including Alaska, are Mount Whitney, California, 14,sss feet; Blanca Peak, Colorado, 14,464 feet, and Cerro Blanco, New Mexico, 14,26o feet. It is claimed that Mount Rainier, Washington, is 14,5oo feet high.
 Of military salutes, raising the right hand to the head is generally believed to have originated from the days of the tournament, when the knights filed past the throne of the queen of beauty, and, by way of compliment, raised their hands to their brows to imply that her beauty was too dag zling for unshaded eyes to gaze upon. The officers salute with the sword has double meaning. The first position, with the hilt opposite the lips, is a repetition of the crusnder's action in kissing the cross hilt of his sword in token of faith and fealty, while low ering the point afterward implies either submission or friendship, mean ing in either case that it is no longer necessary to stand on guard.

A Fayette woman suspected that her husband was in the habit of kiss- ing the hired girl, and resolved to de- tect him in the act. One Saturday n.ght she saw him pass quietly into the kitchen. The hired girl was out, and the kitchen was dark. The jeal- our wife took few matches in her hand, and, hastily placing a shawl over her head, as the hired girl often did, entered the back door, and immediate. ly she was seized and kissed and em- bracsd in an ardent manner. With heart almost bursting the wife pre- pared to administer terrible rebuke to the faithless spouse, and, tearing herself away from his fond embrace, she struck n match and stood face to face with.-the hired Salisbury Press-Spectator.
