Beers THRIVING IN MEXICO
Colony of Eighty-Three Thousand
Acres Near Santa Rosalia in
Flourishing Condition.

Gen. W. D. Snyman, the noted Boer
wal leader, is making good progress in
establishing a home for his people in
Mexico. He has become a full-fiedged
Mexican citizen, and the other Boer
colonists will declare their allegiance
to the government of this country as
fast as they arrive to make their
homes there, says the Chicago Daily
News. The tract of land upon which
this Boer colony is located is situated
near Santa Rosalia and embraces 49,
600 acres. The colonists, including
men, women and children, are work
ing like beavers, putting in the crops
and improving their home surround
ings. 1t is to all outward appearances
one of the happiest bands of foreign
ers who ever came to Mexico.
The 1000 acres of bottom farming
lands are to be divided equally among
the so Beer families, which the Mexi-
can government obligates Gen. Sny-
mar to bring to Mexico within three
years from January /, this year. Gen,
Benjamin j. Viljoen is en- route from
South Africa with ten families, but the
heads of these families will remain al

ton. A brother of Gen. Snyman is
also on his way over with a party o.
colonists.
Already the colonists have 1000 heat

These cattle are to remain the common
property of the colonists and from
their sale will be provided a sinking
fund to be used in paying the loan d
$4,000 made Gen. Snyman by tht
Mexican government for the purchase
of the land.

THE SNOW
HOW THE ANIMALS CONSTRUCT
TUNNELS IN WINTER.
They Find 1t Easier to Travel Under
Than Over the White Covering
in Their Search for
Food.

After a light snowfall, the wild crea-
lures going about their daily work.
leave a very legible record behind
them. Not only may their footprints
be plainly seen upon the surface, but
each footprint will be about the same
size as the foot which made it; and
moreover, the details of the toes and
toenails will all be present for exam
nation. When the snow is deeper,
the individual footprints may be still
there, but the fine details will be lost,
and, as it becomes still deeper, even
the separate footprints will be lost be-
meath the snow which falls into and
partly obliterates the tracks. Even
tually there is a point at which some
of the animals no longer attempt to
travel on the snow; they find it easier
or more to the purpose to travel on
the ground beneath it.
After one of the heavy s~nowstorms,
| was walking by the side of a stream
where muskrats are abundant, and
where their tracks are usually to be
found in the mud or the snow the
whole year round. There was not a
sign of their having left the water

on either side of it presented one un'
broken field Of snow. However, | knew

Tired His Patience.

Lord Brampton, formerly Sir Henry
Hawkins, the English judge, was pre-
siding over a very long, tedious and
uninteresting trial, and was listening,
apparently with absorbed attention, to
a protracted and wearying speech from
an eminent counsel, learned in law.
Presently Sir Henry made a pencil
memorandum, folded it and sent it by
the usher to the lawyer in question.

per, found these words written there

SHAFTS AMERICAN DENTIST
Gave the Persian Monarch Relief ant
Seven Years Service and Re
ceived Promises.

An illustration of how even fan
away Persia has come to know ths
American forceps was shown the othel
day by DIR. Michael Wagschal, a travel
ing dentist, who announced that h{
had sued the brother of the shah OF
Persia for the tidy sum of $4,000, says
the New York Tribune.
Eight years ago DIR. Wagschal went
to Teheran, the capital of Persia, and
put out an American dentist" sign.
Although born in Vienna, he had OBJ
tanned his education in an American
school.
One day while he was taking out a
dead nerve from the tooth of a native
Persian a royal courtier burst into the
office with the Jews that his royal
highness, Maud lilies Sultan, had a
raging toothache.
"He wants you to come and pull 1t
out" exclaimed the messenger. I'll
you succeed in granting him peace he
will make you rich"
Such sudden fortune the doctor had

at the dead nerve and hurried to the
palace.
On his arrival he found that Maud
had been persuaded by his court at
tendants not to trust the American
humbug," as they called him. They
said that the doctor would poison him,
and that he should let his court barber
pull out the tooth. So the barber was
called in and told to go to work.
Maud was commanded to lie down
on the floor, and then the barber rest
ed a knee on his chest. After pryiEa
open the royal mouth the barber adj
justed a pair of tweezers to the in.
famed tooth, and, bracing himself still
further, gave the tweezers a savage
twist.
The barber at once landed on hi!
head and his highness on his feet. 4
royal yell resounded through the pal
ace. The barber was ordered to b.
buried alive, and then DR.. Wagscha
again was summoned.
By the aid of a little cocaine tn
doctor pulled the tooth SO quickly tina
his highness did not know it was out
The doctor found that all of Maud
teeth were decayed, and, after sever
months of patient coddling, all of tn
royal teeth were finally extracted.
The doctor made his royal patien
several sets of teeth, and so please
Maud that he promised to pay tn
doctor a pension the rest of his life
The pension, however, has gone unpai
for eight years.

No Fare for n Doll Under Three.

True kindness does not abound in
any particular place. A conductor on
q Ridge avenue car the other day gave
an example of how the ordinary things
of life may be made attractive by the
presence of a little kindness. The
car stopped and a little girl carrying
a large doll got On. The conductor
came in to collect her fare. The little
girl, who was about six years old,
handed him a nickel. He looked at It
and then at her, but didn't register the
fare. Her expression was that Of per-
plexity. The conductor then leaned
down and asked her for the dolls fare.
That request made the little girls per-
plexity even greater. But the con-
ductor quickly asked her whether the
doll wasn't over three years old and
to her negative reply he said: "Oh!
I thought she was, and I was waiting
for her fare" Then he smilingly
| pulled the register strap and the other
/ passengers who had witnessed the oc-
currence somehow or other felt better
for this little touch Of whimsical
! comedy.-Philadelphia Record.

THE WAY OF DAY AND NIGHT.

Where is the way where light dwell
eth? and as for darkness, where is the
place thereof?'-Job xxxviii, 10.
An endless ride on a course worldwide
Is the race of Day and Night.
Day speeds ahead where the dawn is red,
On the path ablaze with light.
Across the seas, to awake the breeze,
And above the hill and glen
He sends his cries to the paling skies
Till they echo back again.
And the fiecks of frost by his wheels are
tossed
Where the winter has it's hold;
And he filings the dew to the roseheart,
too,
Where the summer morns unfold;
But he has no rest either east or west
For he must keep on his round
On the cours hat swirled all about the
world
At the hour Tim was unbound.
Over earth's broad rim, to the rear Of
him,
There arise the banners gray,
And there comes the beat of the muft1ed
feet,
Telling Night is on the way.
Then the Night sweeps high in the fading
With her trailing stars a-rush,
Till she holds the seas n the grooming
breeze
In her calming, worldwide hush.
Yet the Night must look at the path Day
took,
And must haste DER plain and steep.
In her arms there CLEANS all the gold OF
dreams
And the silver seals of sleep,
And she filings them free over land ano
sea
To the host of day-worn men
Then she hurries on at the shout of dawn
For the Day is come again.
Thus they sweep and swerve up the long
long curve
That is laid from east to west;
And there is no stay on the reaching
way
Neither pause, nor halt, nor rest
But the two rush or with the dark ant
dawn
Or the path that lies before,
In the endless ride on the course world
wide
Until Time shall be nc more.

he jumped in head foremost. There was
no water in the tank, and he struck the
cement bottom with a thud. Both his
wrists were badly sprained and he sus-
tanned a severe scalp injury. This will
probably be Jennings last season on the
professional diamond, as the vetertn
player is now a senior in the Cornell col
lege of law, and is said to be eager to
begin the practice of his profession.

Likewise, he has earned enviable repu-
