OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAN
How Mrs. John Hays Hammond won
Pardons From Grim OLD 10"
Paul" Kruger.

John Uovs Hammond, an American
citizen, was in prison, under sentence
of death. He had been tried ana COLI
victed of high treason TO the South
African Republic. One of four leaders
Of the reform movement in the Trans
vnaI he was charged with completely
in the famous jameson rald' louno
guilty, and sentenced to die.
Only one person lived in the Trans
vaal with sufficient power to SET aslde
the death sentence passed upon the
man who Is known today as the great
est mining engineer in the Chiteu
States. This was Dom Paul Kruger
then president Of the South A1rlcah
Republic. He was an old man-nar-
row, higoted and possessed or an III
tense hatred for the eager grasplng
strangers who he believed had sought
his country only to dcspoil II.
John Hays Hammond was among the
most cnterprieinC and, consequently
one of the most disliked, Of the foreign
residents of the TranSvaal. Fer years
first by Barney Barnato. the English
mining operator. and later by tecli
Rhodes, 10 locate diamonds in Dom
Pauls country. Dom Paul diSliked
him. He dislikcd all men who brought
swarmS of eager reckless adventures
into his country. And he made life as
difficult for them as he could.
In 1898 the world was startled by the
news that British adventurCr, Doctor
jameson, had led raiding party OF
armed men into the Transvaal. The
raid failed. John Hays Hammond
was among those arrested on the &C
cuSation Of having inStigated jane
sons attack on the South African Re
public. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to die.
But the brave, cool-headed wife OF
the eminent American mining engineer
did not intend that anything disagree
able should happen to her husband.
Ever since their marriage, in 1880.
Mrs. John Hays Hammond had fol-
lowed the fortunes of her young en-
gineer, no matter where they took him.
But when they threw him into Jail
under a death sentence, she decided
that ii was time for her TO interfere.
She made up her mind to see Dom
Paul Kruger and tell him that she had
come to save him from the crime OF
putting an innocent man to death. It
was not easy to sec President kru-
ger but Mrs. Hammond proved equal
to the task. 1t was not easy to con-
vince q man who harhored deep, ST.
lent contempt for women, that a wOm-
an was worth listening to: but Mrs.
Hammond was successful. Before she
left his office. Mr. Kruger had prom
iSed to spare her husbands life. The
president of the Transvaal republic
Kept his word to Natalie Hammond.
Her husbands sentence was cOmmut-
ed to Imprisonment for Is years and
later on, he was freed on payment Of
n fine of S125,000, and Mrs. Hammond
had the extreme happiness of knowing
that through her interceSSiOn. not only |
her husbands life but the lives Of the |
men arrested with him had been saved. |

Changed conditions in the Southern
states as regards agriculture came up
for comment during consideration Of
the agricultural appropriation b!ll, and
1t was pointed ont that the South was
now self-supporting in the way of rails
Ing foods. while only q short time ago
1t had to buy large quantity of its
foods from the North and West. The
time was in the South when they had
three great staples, cotton, cane and
tobacco, and regarded other agricul-
tural products as rather incidental.
But now the South produces wheat.
corn, potatoes, vegetables and fruits,
and, in the meat line, cattle, hogs and
chickens.
During the discussion Senator VIII
llams of Mississippi gave as one rea-
son for the change the offering Of
prizes at county fairs, and gave indi-
Vldual instances Of how corn clubs
hhd been organized and boys had been
engaged In intensive farming. While
that has helped some. the real reason
for the changed agricultural conditions
IN the South, it was brought out, is
the failure of some crops. the POSSIBLE
lty OF losses on staples, and the propa-
ganda which has been carried on by the
agricultural department for many
years pointing out the advantages OF
diversified farming, and also showing
Southern farmers that their soils were
good for something besides a few
standard products.

that it would be very difficult for the

time the Republicans believe they can

Congressman Webb OF North Caro-

which has appeared in many forms
during the last ten years, usually In

reau has not been created, for It seems
TO be about the easiest thing in the
world 10 create n bureau with salary
list attached. The Webb bill provides
that the chief of the bureau shall re-
ceive a salary Of only $4,000, and the
clerical force brings the total sum
up to only $4,000. The man who has
been behind this scheme all these years

Senator John SHARP Williams Of
Mississippi comes right out and says
what he thinks when he becomes
aroused by debate that takes place in
the senate. Recently there had been
more or less comment on what the
country was suffering on account of
the war. After listening some time
the Mississippi senator "cut loose"
and said what he thought. IN the
course of his remarks he made this
statement:
people suffering on account Of the
war! Labor suffering! Labor never
had as much money in the life Of the
world. here or anywhere else. Farm
ers suffering! They never made as
much money out Of their cattle and
corn and oats and wheat and cotton
and hogs since agriculture came into
existence. here or anywhere else, ns
they are making now"

Eulogies Of dead members of con-
gress are ghod deal Of farce. In
the house they are held on Sundays
with few people in the galleries and
sometimes not more than half dozen
members of the house present. The
ceremonies are usually slurred over
and sometimes the members who ap-
pear to have addressed the house were
not even on the floor. And vet there
are occasions when those eulogies
bring out interesting facts. Such was
the case in regard to the late Eben-
eyer J. Hill of Connecticut. Although
very few members eulOgized him, the
character Of the men who participated
showed that he had won q high place
in the house Of representatives. Speak
er Clark. Majority Leader Kitchin Of
North Carolina, Minority Leader Mann
Of Illinois, and Congressman Fordney
of Michigan, the ranking Republican
member of the ways and means COM
mittee. were among the men who paid
their last tribute to Mr. Hill.
Congressman Kitchin, in speaking Of
Hill, said: "If we except the gentle
man from Illinois, Mr.. Mann, the in
comparable minority leader. / doubt
II any other man In the house in the
last fifteen years was MS tireless n
worker or as dilIgent q student of legis-
lation as Mr.. HILL"

Several years ago there happened
to be severe criticism in the public
press upon one cabinet officer. Then,
suddenly, another cabinet officer was
the shining mark of those who write
and speak and say things about admin
istrations. The man who had been so
severely criticized came into q cabinet
meeting, smiling and seemingly well
pleased with everything. He went up
to his cabinet colleague and shook his
hand.
mfr. Seczetary-," said he, "allow
me to thank you from the bottom of
my heart for erecting your lightning
rod"
Everybody enjoyed the joke. Secre-
tary Daniels, who had been target
for at least four years, or until he
demonstrated that he had the navy
in proper fighting trim, was asked If
he was not pleased because Secretary
Baker had recently run up n light
ming rod" and was catching the shafts
and bolts which were formerly direct
ed toward the navy.
NO" said Daniels, because think
that this criticism of Baker is unjust.
Besides" he added with twinkle In
his eye you see had got used to it."
