CRONJE AS A SNOWMAN.
a Pathetic Explanation From the
Old BOcr Commander.


Old BOcr Commander.
General Cronje, the Boer commander
at Paarleberg, whose appearance in
u military show has caused some I'M
favorable comment refers in II letter
To the New York World to many letters
that have come to him from officers
censurng him for disgracing the mill
tary profession.
"In the first place." General Cronje
retorts, Il am not member of the
military profession. Therefore l can
not disgrace it. l fought as patriot,
not as soldier. IL the average soldier
were as little a Snowman as l, there
would not be SO many brilliant uni
forms covering dull men. British sol
diers have said that il is beneath the
dignity of a general to become u circus
performer. Some of the men who have
said this are the men l fought. They
are the men who robbed me of my
home and my country.
''Those who have protested against
my action. being actuated by kindness
or sympathy for the Boer cause / will
now answer.
II went, as every Boer who was a
man went, and faced the foe that was
seeking to destroy the liberty Of my
country. After many victories I was
defeated and captured. l neither dis.
graced my cause nor my beloved ma
ton by my surrender. No man could
have done better than we did at Paar.
deberg. l was sent by the British to
st. Helena prisoner.
when I returned to the Transvaal
after the conclusion of the war found
nothing but desolation and ruin. MY
country was still black with cinders
and stained with blood. In the battle
Of Paardeberg my wife was wounded
as she fought in the trenches. That
wound bled out from my heart. !
thought that had felt the worst pain.
Alas. when l saw the SCARED face of
my poor country the wound in my
heart opened and bled out my hope. I
looked into my dear old wife's SCARED
face and then across the mired veldt. /
could not help i'll cried.
olHce tndt uay L nave not DPen able
to stand straight. l was old and
weak. hungry and homeless My chill
dren had all died in defense of our
country. There we stood. my wife and
/, supporting each other in our misery.
How lonely we were! How much
alone. ! was too old to fight again and
strike another blow for our liberty.
Too old to walk behind the pillow. Al
most too old to live. My countrymen
saw my tears. They offered to help
me out of their scanty cupboards.
They were as poor as |. was SO old,
but not too old to earn a living IL the
opportunity offered.
Il hope that my critics will under
stand this poor old man and think of
the circumstances behind his actions"

The average man does not save to ex-
coed ten per cent of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars in living ex-
penses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too careful
about unnecessary expenses. Very of
ten few cents properly invested, like
buying seeds for his garden, will save
several dollars outlay later on. 1t is
the same in buying Chamberlain Collie,
