may, incidentally. also claim the dis
tinction of being, probably, the only
cabinet minister that ever has been
sent home to change his trousers be-
fore being permitted to take part IN
the deliberations of the house Of which
he was one of the most important Of
ficers. This amusing episode in the
generals career occurred in 1897, OF
shortly after Kruger. as a reward for
political services, made SHUTS state at
torney. one day he ventured to ap-
pear in the Volkaraad wearing grey
rether garments; thing that shock Ell

should be "all blacks" in clothes. at
least. and the clamor was so great that
the state attorney had, perforce, to go
back home and get into more seemly
"breeks"
This warrior-p arliamentarian. who Is
only "A today, is tall, we'll set up and
uncommonly handsome. He has fair
eyes that mark the enthusiast, and he
wears a we'll tended mustache and Il
short beard of the Nandyke order.
Though his will is of iron he is dip
lomatic and adroit in argument.
His father, a typical Boer and a
member of the state assembly. was a
farmer In the Malmsbury district Of
Cape Colony and the boy got his first
education at the South African coll
1ege. at Stellanbosch, the home Of the
young Afrikander party. Early IN his
career, by the way, he developed into
fine classical scholar. and there is i
story that, on one of his fathers visits
to Cape Town, ne made point of call
ing upon the principal Of the college.
Taking this grave professor aside he
inquired, in confidential tone, "Myn-
heer. who may this fellow Homer be
necessary to tran the Filipino people
that Jamie is always talking about?'
Industrious as well as clever, young
SHUTS took one scholarship after another
and by SO doing attracted the attention
of the man of the hour, Cecil Rhodes.
Eventually SHUTS won the Porter schol-
arship,j which would have brought him to
England, but almost Immediately after
he did 90 the bank in which its funds
were invested failed. Then Rhodes
stepped in. The empire builder declared
that a lad of such remarkable promise
ought not to suffer on this account. and
promptly offered to pay smuts's expenses
during a three years course of study at
st. Johns college. Cambridge. and young
SHUTS accepted the offer and went to
England forthwith. At Cambridge his
career was brilliant one. the young stu
dent capturing the gold medal and head
ing the list of both parts of the Law
Tripos of 1894.
These honors won, SHUTS returned to
South Africa. where he soon was made
a member OF the Cape bar. and inciden-

tains to the opposite side of the con-
t1nent. The town is in the center of
the great fruit valley of the Mendoza
river The lands are composed of the
rich silt which that river has brought
down from the Andes, and they rely
upon 1t for their irrigation. 1 saw this
stream shortly after 1 arrived on the
eastern side of the Andes. 1t is a rush
ing flood of water as thick as pea soup.
1t is the color of chocolate, and it car
ries so much fertilizing material along
its course that wherever it meets an
obstruction it builds up a sand bar or
island. Indeed, it is said that if man
can find a patch Of stones anywhere
over which the current can be turned
he will within a year have a coating
of two or three feet of soil that will
raise almost anything under the sun.
The river carries so much silt that it
frequently changes its course, owing
to the islands built up by it. 1 saw
islands that were three feet above the
level of the water, their banks Icing
almost perpendicular.
All of the available water of the Men
doza is now used for irrigation. There
ere frequent dams to direct the stream
over the fields, and here and there you
see canals leading off into them. Some

war came however, and SHUTS went to
the front as simple burgher, but like
most of the Boer leaders, displayed such
instructive military ability that he rose
rapidly in rank and was a general before
the struggle closed. The brilliant British
commander Gen. Ian Hamilton, refers
to him in his STAFF officers scrap book
as that extraordinarily clever young
man, General Smuts," and indeed SHUTS
made both his bravery and his strategy
respected. A successful raid into the
western district of Cape Colony made
him famous, but perhaps his most bril-
liant action was fought in November.
1901, when, surrounded by the British
columns, at Glands river port, he rushed
a squadron of the Seventeenth Lancers
and fought his way through them. Later,
with Botha, he was largely instrumental
in preventing the destruction of the
mines, and by the end of the campaign
he had attained to the supreme command
in Cape Colony.
The war over, SHUTS, accepting the
inevitable. became sincere loyalist. He
was the brains of the 'Het volk," just
as he Is now the brains OF the union
government and for the next several
years was counsellor in chief to the Boer
leaders. The appointment of Lord Sell
borne saw him re-enter the political
arena, and at the welcoming banquet
he was the principal speaker and the
high commissioner, in replying, spoke oil
our gallant friend General SHUTS, and
our learned subject, Mr.. ]. c. SHUTS. .
In 1907 SHUTS was chosen to come to
England to present the Cullinan diamond
to King Edward, and at this time and
thenceforth he is said to have made
strong representations to the British gov
eminent as to the desirability of grant
ing constitution.
In England the loyalty of SHUTS was
appreciated no less than that of Botha
consequently -something of a sensation
was caused when 1t was reported in Lon
don that the former. in a speech, had de-
clared that, 100 years hence, the British
flag might no longer fly over South Afri-
ca. The general. however was the first
to repudiate the Interpretation that had
been placed upon his words. What he
really said. it proved. was this I'VE dc
not know what lies ahead of us. Today
we stand under the majesty and in the
shadow OF the British flag, but you dc
not know what will be the case 100 years
hence, and there is only one thing tht
people of South Africa can do. and thai
is. become united"
year later SHUTS assured the British
government that South Africa could de,
fend herself against any possible enemy
although. perhaps they might not be able
to send corps to other parts of the EN-.
pire. In 1910, when, largely owing to hi.
fundamentally, Sir Henry Campbell.
Bannermans government gave South
Africa its constitution, SHUTS took q
strong line against equality Of treatment
of blacks and white, declaring that the
country must be q white mans coun.

shops OF southern Europe. Many of
them are open at the front, the walls
of the building being used as a show
case. The outside Of hat store will
be covered with hats, and a great tin
hat with an incandescent light globe
hanging from the bottom of it will form
the sign over the front and only door.
Many of the hat stores are not more than
five or six feet wide, but the walls will
have as much more space for the hats.
Some of the stores have signs consisting
of pictures. For instance. barber shor,
will have over the door a painting of 4
barber at work. and toy shop will have
a sign representing children looking al
doll babies. Noah's arks and miniature
are shown buying these toys.
During my stay I went to the market.
It was filled with vegetables and had

and white. Among the muslSmelons Is
one that has a white flesh which is es-
pecially delicious and which will weight
20 or 80 pounds. This melon is said to
keep well, and It may be among the
fruits exported for our winter use. The
same melons are raised in Chile, and /
am told that shiploads of them could
be gotten for export. Another curious
fruit is a peach without fuzz. It's skin
is as smooth as that of a plum, and al
the same time the flesh and stone and
taste are those of delicious peach.

Gives Away Her Last Child

life in coy home in the new world
has been rudely shattered since she land
ed here an immigrant with her husband
and family from Hungary four years ago
has given away the last of her four chill
dren, babe months old, that she might
be free to earn the Sc week necessary
for her support Mrs. Japo appealed ia
the public last week to find homo for
the child.
Paula. wrapped in warm robe which
the East Side woman brought with her
when she was to take the child to her
new home, cooed unmindful of the new
current then setting in in her life. For
the mother it was tragedy. .
Tomorrow will be a heavy day, as I
sweep and scrub in a downtown depart
ment store,' sighed the mother but
still I will know that Paula is being well
cared for. We came from Hungary four
years ago and were very happy until one
day my husband did not come home.'
Two of Mrs. Japos children, Rosie and
Anna, are in the ST Vincent's Orphan

Mendoza Is situated under the shadow
of the Andes and on the edge of the great
plain that extends eastward toward the
Atlantic. The distance to the mouth of
the Rio de la Plata at Buenos Aires is as
far as from New York to Cleveland. and
the plain reaches for hundreds of miles
to the north and south. Beyond the val
ley in which the city lies the country is
covered with scrub and is largely desert.
The land is worth nothing without it
can have water. but water will make
everything blossom like the rose, and
the water of the Mendoza river makes
the town look like a forest in the midst
of great garden of vineyards. There Is
water running down the streets. and
every one of them is lined with poplars
and other shade trees. The city has five
large plazas filled with palms and other
tropical vegetation. 1t has a park of 1900
acres, from which you have fine view
of the Andes and it has the plaza of San
Martin, another park This stands right
in the heart of the city. The latter park
consists of sunken beds in the shape
of triangles, with tiled walks running
through them and tiled walks around the
outside. These walks are raised several
feet above the beds or gardens, and they
form the promenade of the town during
the evening. r
The buildings of Mendoza are nearly
all of one story. They are made so on
account of the earthquakes, but they ara
large and their outsdes are decorated.
The principal theatre cost $4,000. Tho
town has fine educational l'acilities and
1t is noted for its colleges and normal
schools. 1t has also a kindergarten which
stands in the midst of a park, with the
Andes for a panorama.
The city is lighted by electricity and
its electric trains have numbers on the
top of each car, indicating the route
where it goes. 1T has fine stores in the
chief business section, but the smaller
establishments make you think of the

away a big surplus, its profits at times
being equal to so per cent of it's capital
stock. The bodega was started in 1856
and it has since it's beginning made
enough wine to drown a good sized city
and enough to give a large goblet to
every man, woman and child upon earth.
The Tomba bodega lies on the edge
of Mendoza and I was able to reach
il by street car. 1t is close to the great
vineyards belonging to the establish
ment, and standing upon it the vines
seem to reach to the horizon on all
sides except that facing the city. The
buildings are low. but they have enor-
nous cellars underground and their
floor space covers acres. The grapes
come in by the carload and pass
through crushing machines. The pulp
is then put through four-inch pipes to
the fermenting watts. My Spanish was

Everything is of the most modern

structed for the carrying of wine from

wine which are to be sent over the
country. Altogether there were several
hundreds of men employed On the
work.
I am delighted with Mendoza. 1t is
one of the prettiest cities I have seen in
South America and it is one of the newest
and freshest as far as appearances go.
This Is so Notwithstanding it is one of the
Oldest cities of the continent. 1t was
founded 70 years before Boston and was a
thriving municipal organization before
New York was begun. 1t had already
lived about 300 years when 1t was destroy
ed by an earthquake. This was in 1881.
The CONFUSION occurred while a large
number of the people were in the
churches, and more than 10000 persisted in
the ruins of the falling buildings. The
city of today is largely built from the
materials taken from the ruins, but it
has been extended and grown until it is
many times it's old size. A few years
after the earthquake it had only 5000 pop
uation, and as late as 1895 its number was

leave the future in the hands of the great
fact that what I have to do this minute
Is quiet within my reach.
This hunger for higher things makes
us admire heroes, at least when we are
sure that they no longer stand in the
way OF our own advancement. The Chris
tian church tells US of the greatest Of all
heroes of history. We are told that when
God would give to the world this pat
tern man, who has stood the scrutiny OF
shines out more conspicuously prominent
and perhaps dearer to the human heart
than ever before. He did not Great body
out of the dust of the earth, a body
worthy of this highest type of humanity.
He looked down upon a humble house
in lowly village and there beheld Il
sweet young woman busy about the con-
Germs Of a little country horne. We may
picture to ourselves just how humdrum
and commonplace those duties doubtless
were. The people were poor There We're
the same domestic tolls for Mary as make
up the special duties of the home of the
poor today. People who have visited the
hamlet Of which we speak. tell us that
there Is shown to the curious visitor the
well In the middle of the town, known as
the Virgins spring, where Mary used to
draw the water and bear it home upon
her head to supply the household needs
from day to day.
1t was to this obscure home and to
this humble Virgin the messenger came
that she was to be the mother of the
greatest figure in the history Of the world,
and we can be sure that the reason she
was a fit mother for this illustrious son
was because she had fulfilled the obliga-
lions Of her life before the great call
came to the fullest satisfaction of Him
who held her destiny in her hand. There
Is a tremendous stimulus in the contem-
platoon of scene like that, and we may
all do well to profit by 1t and find the
true incentive that gives the zest to
life.
The highest ambition is the parent Of
the truest humility: it makes one realize
that our ultimate aim is SO high that we
need q power far beyond our own for the
accomplishments of SO transcendent a
work; that II we are truly to be co-work-
ers with Almighty God himself in the
working out Of the great scheme that
rules the universe. the task Is far too
great for our unaided efforts, and we may
confidently rely upon q power divine to
help Us In all our needs.
