Stories Of Paul Krnger.
London Dispatch

! At seven yearsnf age Paul
Kruger, the late President OF
the Beers, was shooting big
game; at eleven he killed his
first lion. whan thirteen he
was fighting with his father
against the blacks, and at
seventeen he held his first
public offi"e as a magistrate
He was born Oct. 10, 1925
! and his grandfather, the first
settler Of the family in South
Africa, came, not from Hol-
land, but from Germany. The
name in the Transvaal is
pronounced Kreeger, and is
written Kruger and not with
the umlaut, as some .Ameri>
can and English newspapers
write it. Like Joubert, the
Boer General he was a Cape
Colonist by b irt h, having
been born at Rastenburg, in
the Coleshurg district OF the
colony. He was only ten
years old when his parents
moved thereto by what they
regarded as the uniustifiat]e
interference OF the British
Government with their slaves
migrated north ward with
some five or six thousand OF
their compatriots into the
unexplored veldt,
The tales Of Kruger's
youth are well nigh past be-
lief. He himself vouches for
his ability when a boy to
stand on his head on a gal
loping horse, and the stories
of his skill with firearms and
OF his strength are on a par
with his feats of horseman.
ship. He stood six feet high
weighed 225 pounds and his
depth Of chest and breadth
OF shoulders were those OF q
Colossus. He had the rude,
brute strength OF an tx, and
a yarn current and universal
ly believed in the Transvaal
has 1t that he once killed a
wild buffalo by holding it's
head in the water until the
beast was strangled.

The Presidential Succession.
Philadelphia Record.

The Presidential Succession.
Philadelphia Record.
Republicans are makingan
amount of fuss over Mr.. Dn-
Wis age that would be ridlc-
ul0us if it were not signif1-
can't OF their trepidatlon and
their shyness OF the real is
sues in the contest.
So far as the continuity OF
government goes the death OF
a President is a very consid-
erable matter, and if there
were no Vices President it
would make no practical diff.
ference, Mr.. Hendricks and
Mr.. Hobart died IN the vice
presidency. There was not
a citizen of the U. s. we trust
so foolish as.to be nervous
over the continuity of the
goyernment, or even the po-
litical control Of the admins
istration. The latter was in
some peril until the presiden
tial succession law OF 1S
years ago, hut since then
there has not been a remote
possibility that the will OF
the people expressed IN q ma
tional election would be de-
feated by two deaths.
The Secretary Of State is
more likely to be n man Of
presidential size than the
Vice-P President, 1t would ney-
or have occurred TO a Repub
lican convention to nominate
Theodore Roosevelt Tor Pres
ident, nor would Mr.. McKin-
ley or any other. President
appointed him Secretary of
State. Yet according to the
assurances OF all Republicans
he has proved to he one OF
our greatest Presidents. Why
should anyone fear, then,
that the presidential func-
tions would devolve upon a
man untitled to bear them?
DO not our Secretaries OF
State occupy greater places
in the nations history than
our Vie Presidents? Ii Mr..
Mckinley had been succeeded
by John Hay instead of The
odore, Roosevelt, If General
