MIGHT HAVE SHORTENED WAR
English Soldiers scrupIes, Which
Did Him Honor, Prolonged Fight
ing in South Africa.

4 military correspondent of the
Manchester tEng) Guardian writes:
"In a life as replete with adventure
as was that of Christian De Wet dur
ing the BOer war, there were said to
have been countless occasions when
the Boer hero went near to death.
The nearest occurred in 1901, when
the guerrilla leader, at the height of
his fame, was extricating his raiding
column from its affair in the Cape
Colony. He was headed off by sew
eral of the pursuing detachments.
From one Of these couple of very
young British cavalry troopers had
been sent on forward patrol. They
stopped at Q waysids store and
stabbed their horses in back shed
"When the Boer commando came
through In haste the woman Of the
store. who was friendly to the two
English boys. sent them up into the
garnet above her shop. Here they
crouched with their rifles at the ready
while the scouts and the main body
Of the commando went through. Then
Cape cart came along and drew up
at the store to elicit some Informal
ton. In 1t were seated Christian De
Wet and President Steyn.
"The corporal recognized De Wet
from the pictures he had seen, but
though his finger was upon the trig-
ger his heart failed him. AS he said
had not the heart to shoot a man in
"Civies" in cold blood This lads
natural scruples probably prolonged
the Boer war by eighteen months. Of
such incidents is history made"

VICTORY OVER SWEET TOOTH
Woman's Fierce Battle With Appetite
Can Only Be Understood by
Those Who Know.

1t was hard struggle, but she won.
there struggling in full view of the
homecoming crowd moving through
Thirty-fourth street, says the New
York Sun. Perhaps she was noticed
particularly because there was so
much of her to struggle. Certainly
more than 200 pounds.
Everybody understood what was the
matter. She said it with her sad and
longing looks as she stared into the
window. She was not young and ev-
erything about her appearance was
quite conventional, except the express
sion of her face, which had drOll
droop about the mouth and chin and
defeated expression in the eyes.
Five minutes she stood and looked
into first one window and then an
other. She started to enter the shop,
but turned back. But she stood out
side and looked some more before she
gathered up the courage to so on.
What was in the window? Just
candy. Beautiful big pieces of soft
fondant, shining white, dawn pink and
pale spring green. And a whole tray
of taffy, cleaning and golden as am
Der. There are those to whom such
things mean nothing, but every shape
ly fondant, every chunk Of taffy,
meant something to her. AS she stood
there she seemed to count those pieces
over one by one. But she gave them
up. She won her fight. She went on
without spending so much as 10 cents.

Ieopards Not All Tropical.

When we look at the leOpards In a

Human "eame Preserve" in Australia

In Australia a preserve or sane
tuary, has been established for the
benefit of human beings, the remnants
of a native race that is still in the
stone age of civilization.
These modern men of the stone
age wander over % vast region in the
arid interior Of Australia. About
their number little is known, but the
total is estimated at 1000 or there
abouts. Many of them never have
seen white man. \ large portion Of
this region is practically unexplored
because Of water scarcity and the
