We would say to Bro. Bailey at
Britt that Prof. Kies is not to blame
for what has occurred at Britt in the
past and that it is not fair deal to
him, to discount his work in the Britt
schools for the coming year. Prof.
Kies is fine educator. popular with
the students and the public. He has
made big success at Dow City and
the people there would be tickled to
death to have him back again. He
is an expert at foot ball and base
ball. and that will please the boys.
and an honorable gentleman which
will please everybody. We know 1T
is hard to see good man nut out of
the schools through intrigue and spite.
The punishment for that should come
on the school board, and not on the
man WHO comes with the intention of
doing the best possible for the schools.
Prof. Kies is now Instructing in the
summer school at Denison in the col
lege WHARF Prof. Bagge. of Garner,
was at one time an instructor.

The old man was a great favorite at

inmates, who came with bated breath

TWO WHITE MEN HAVE TERRIBLE

Try to Complete Journey
on Foot.

London.-Two Vryburg men, Sidney
Smith, well-known local farmer. and
J. y. Brymer have had terrible ex-
perience in the Kalahari desert. where
they were three days under a blazing
sun with neither food nor water and
hardly came through alive.
They left home together in a Cape
cart drawn by six oxen to visit George
Lennox, OF Kingstown, farm some
distance into the desert. The travel.
ers were mainly relying for their
water supply on the trsmmas. a spe-
cies of wild melon which grows album
dainty on the sand dunes and con-
serves its water for months. but they
found to their dismay that these had
all been consumed by the focks and
herds OF the nomadic natives Of the
kalahari. The meager stock OF water
they had brought with them soon gave
out, and after trekking for two DAYS
without a drink the oxen collapsed.
The travellers were still about so miles
from their destination.
Abandoning the cart and oxen they
determined to make the rest OF the
journey on foot. Eight miles tramp
through the heavy sand reduced Mr..
Brymer 10 a state OF exhaustion. and

RouX was in state OF collapse from

went on ahead. promising 10 send back

When still a long distance from Mr..
Lennox's farm Mr.. Smith met some

to struggle for more. At this point his
fine collie lay down and afterward sue

Slightly inyigorated by his meager
refreshment, Mr.. Smith toiled on. The
sun was now high overhead and the
heat intense. He was following the
SOu2S SC VI du Olu river pea. and for
tunately was able 10 obtain some
slight shelter from a few trees along
the course. His method was TO dash
forward for a couple OF hundred yards
TO the nearest tree and then lie down
TO recuperate for the next effort. So
he held to his task until at length
Mr.. Lennox's farm came in sight. Here
kind hands took him in charge and

hours he was able to talk nationally
