our lords soul demands that you
shall die for the injury you did him.
we cannot think of killingyou without
paying every respect to your lofty
station. We pray you, therefore, to
condescend to oblige us by disem-
boweling yourself, even as he was
forced to do. If you do this we shall
be saved the impertinence of laying
violent hands on man we are not
worthy to approach
Thus. doubtless with a low rever-
ence and drawing of the breath,
the good Oishi expressed himself.
Kira declined to make an end of him
self. So, !. etiquette or no etiquette,
they had to kill him. They cut off his
head, marched QUITO a temple in the
city and laid the CORY trophy on their
own masters grave. Then they await
ed their doom.
It came with the dawn-a command
that they should all commit suicide.
This sentence they carried out, and

shown to the curious visitor to the

never work if, they can go hunting.
They have few or no f1ocks. The Hot
tentot will live and prosper where a
white man would starve to death, and
die of thirst. The Bushman will live
where a Hottentot could not subsist.,
And with the Bushman the descend
ing scale Of humanity ends. The next,
step is the Chin panzee or gorilla.
But unfortunately for the Hotten-
totts and their close friends and allies
the Bushmen, they have a glorious
past. In fact, theytare cursed with it.
Hendrix Witbeois chief of the Wit
boot Hottentots was for years the ter
ror Of all the I'll ibes in the southern
part of the colony. He was a born
leader and stratAsist. One. after an
other he met the native tribes in the
field and subjugated them, adding
their fighting men to his forces. Then
In the heydey of his power he quar-
relied with the Germans. For three
years, with wonderful skill and con-,
summate guerrilla tactics, he gave bat
tie to the whites, and finally surren-
dered on honorable terms. He is now
a pensioner of the Germans, and is
believed to he loyal.
The HettentOts have never forgotten
the good fight that he made. They
have never been thoroly thrashed, and
as the Germans have allowed the
chiefs to retain some autnOrlty over
the tribes, there is a strong clan senti-
ment amongst them. Consequently,
whenever a Hottentot has felt ag-
grieved at the Germans, he has not
hesitated to lead an expedition against
them, and this spirit has kept the
| southern end of the colony in tur-
| MOL. 4
But after fashion the Germans
managed to keep at peace with the
Hereroes, Ovampos and Damaras. They
were doing thriving trade with these
three tribes and especially with the
Hereros. This tribe, which has been
extremely rich in cattle and even in
| ivory, Is the highest type of African
native. 1t is a Woodworking, thrifty
intelligent race, and for long time
it has done. all in it's power to keep UP
it's friendly relations with the Ger
mans, and the testimony of the Ger
mans themselves show that it is due
4 to their own greed that the present
trouble has arisen. zstl& Esc7Et

TRUE STORY OF JAPAN
The "Forty seven Ronin" and Their
Death of Pride.
Lahore. India. Times.

Now it happened that a certain pro-
vincial lord, Asano Of Aho, had been
charged with the duty of carrying out
the reception of an envoy OF the Hlka-
do. Asano, bluff fighting man, we'll
aware Of his deficiencies, consulted
another nobleman, an experienced,
supple, well-born aristocrat named
Kira. Kira sneered at honest Asano,
and even told him to stoop and tie up
his shoestring.
The hot blood of all the Asanos rose
at this wanton insult. Out came the
great two-handed sword, and the next
moment the proud but. cowardly> Kira
was fleeing thru the palace With a
great cash in his cheek.
To make an uproar in the palace
was a crime punishable by death. A
board of punishmentN<co condemned the
much-proVoked tAsano to commit sui
eide by the traditional method of dis
Enforcement, his castle was conf1scat-
ed, his family declared extinct, his
clan disbanded.
Meanwhile the dead lords clansmen
had arranged a plan of campaign. They
were now what the Japanese called
nin-..wavemen''- servants without
a master, wanderers without home.
They met and swore vengeance.
Oishi, the head retainer, ordered
his men to separate. Some took to
mean trades, and, in the guise OF
artisans and peddlers, gained access to
Kira's mansion. Slowly they collected
information as to his habits the pre-
cautions he was taking and the in
tricacies of his house and garden.
Oishi himself, to disarm suspicion
plunged into dissipation. He threw
aside his well-loved wife and children
and was seen lying in the cutters, and
conducted himself as man lost TIC
all sense of shame and duty.
Two years thus passed. At length
Oishi thought he might act. The forty
seven were called together, and one
wild, snowy night in January, they
attacked the doomed lords mansion
The gate was forced, the guard killed
and the Ronin ransacked the house
for their enemy. At last they found
him hiding behind a pile of charcoal
in an clubhouse, quaking with fear.
Kira was too high-born to be killed
like a. dog, and japanese politenes'
asserted itself Oishi kneeled before
the noble wretch.
