" it I" II ''or Or kN TOW n n When the liew was fniiinc and the eveiiiiiK vrna dark, a small figure niove.1 toward the KHte of the farthest ostrich camp, driving a lilr.1 la-fore It When the pate was opened and the bird driven In and the gate fastened. It turned away, hut then suddenly paus ed near the stone wall. "Is that you, Waldo?" said Lyndall, hearing a sound. The boy was sitting on the damp ground, with his back to the wall, lie gave bcr no answer. "Come," she said, bending over him. "I have been looking for you all day." Ho mumbled something. "You hnve hnd nothing to eat. I have put some supper In your room. You must come home with me, Wal do." Sho took his hand, and the boy rose slowly. Sho mado him tak.j her arm and twisted her anmll fingers amoncr Ida. "You III list forget," sho whispered. "Since It hapiiencd 1 walk, 1 talk, I never sit still. If we remember, we cannot bring back the dead." She knit her little Angers closer among his. "Forgetting Is the beat thing. lie did not wntch It coming." she whispered presently. "That Is the dreadful thing to see It coming'" She shuddered. "I want It to eome so to me too. Why do you think 1 was driving thnt bird?" she added quickly.- "That was Hans, the bird that bates Bonaparte. I let him out this nftenoou. I thought be would cbnse him and per Imps kill him." The boy showed no sign of Interest "He did not can b him, but he put bla head over the half door of your cabin and frightened him horribly. He was there, busy stealing your things. Perhnps he will leave them alone row, but I wish the bird bad trodden on him." They said no more till they retiehed the door of the cabin. "There Is a candle, and supper Is on the table. You nuist eat," she said authoritatively. "I eannot stay with you now lest they find out about the bird." He grasped her arm and brought bla month tloo to her ear. "There Is no God," be almost hissed, "no God, not anywhere!" She stnrted. "Not anywhere!" lie ground It out between his teeth. and she felt bis bot breath on her 'cheek. "Waldo, you are mad," she said. drawing herself from btm Instinctively. He loosened his grasp and turned away from ber also. In truth. Is It not llfe'a wnyT We fight our little battles alone, you yours. I mlno. We must not help or find help. When your life is most real, to me you are mad. When your agony Is blackest, I look at you and wonder. Friendship Is good, a strong stlrlc. but when the hour comes to lean hard It gives. In the day of their bitterest need all souls are tlone. Lyndall stood by 'him In the dark, pityingly, wonderlngly. As he walked to the door she cnine after him. Eat your supiier. It will do you good." she said. She riililHd her cheek against his shoulder nnd then rnu away. In the front' room the little woolly Kaffir girl was washing Tanf Sannlc's fii't In a small tub, and Itouaparte, Who nut on the wooden sofa, was puli ng off his shoes and stockings thnt his own f.Mt might lie washed nlso. There were three enndles burning In the room, and he nnd Tanf Sannle sat t!ose together, with the loan Hottentot tot far off, for when ghosts are about much light Is needed. There la great strength In numbers. Ilonn parte had completely recovered from the effects of his fright In the afternoon, and the numerous doses of brandy thnt It had been necesanry to administer to him to effect his restoration had put him In singularly pleasant and amiable mood. That boy Wnldo,' said Bonnpnrte, rubbing his toes, "took himself off cool ly this morning as soon as the wagon came and has not done stiver of work all day. I'll not have that kind of thing now I'm master of this farm." The Hottentot maid translated. "Ah, I expect he"s sorry that his fa ther's dead," said Tant' Sannle. "It's nature, you know. I cried the iwholc morning when my father died. One can always get another husband, but one can't get another father." mid Tanf Sntiule, casting a sidelong glance at Itouaparte. Ilonnparte expressed a wish to give Waldo his orders for the next day's work, and accordingly the little woolly beaded Kaffir was sent to call btm. After a considerable time the boy ap peared and stood In the doorway. If they had dressed him In one of the swallowtnlled coats and oiled Ms rlr till the drops fell from It and It lay as smooth as an elder's on sacrament Sun day, there would still bave been some thing utianolrited In the aspect of the fellow. As It was, standing there In his utraiiL.-e old coetume, bis head pre senting ranch the appearance of hav ing been deeply rolled Id sand, bla eye lids swollen, the hair banging over his forehead aud a dogged sullenness on his features, he preaeuted most the ap pearance of an UI conditioned young buffalo. "Beloved Lord," cried Tanf Bannle, how be looks! Come in, boy. Couldn't you come and aay good day to tuer Don't you want some eupperT" , He said be wanted nothing and tut red bis heavy eyes away from ber. There's a ghoat been seen In your fatlier's room," said Tanf Saimle. "If you're afraid, too can sleep Id the ' kitchen." . ! "I will sleep la our rootu," said the boy slowly. - TtME-S EY OLIVE BcimErrrEit A TALE OF LIFE IN THE BOER REPUBLIC. e, is? up eiit iuj uoy, luiei- buy, rupted Bonaparte, smlllnj;. "I am to be master of this farm now, and we shnll l good friends, I trust, very gissl friends. If you try to do your duty, my dear Ixiy." Waldo turned to go, and Bonaparte, looking h'WlTiily nt the in mile, stretch ed out on.' uustm-klnged foot, over which Waldo, looking at nothing In particular, fell with a heavy thud upon the fhior. "Dear me! I hope you are not hurt. my boy," said Bonaparte. "You'll have many a harder thing than that, though, before you've gone through life," bo added counollugly as Waldo picked himself up. The lean Hottentot laughed till the room, rang aguln. and Tanf Sannle tit tered till ber aides ached. When be hud gone, the little maid be gan to wash Bonaparte's feet. "Q Lord, beloved Lord, bow he did fall! I can't think of It," cried Tanf Sannle, nud she laughed again. "I al ways did know be was not right, but this evening any one could see It," sho added, wiping ti.e tears of mirth from ber face, "ills eyes are as wild as If the devil was In them. He never was like other children. The dear Ird knows. If he doesn't wnlk alone for hours talking to himself. If you sit In the room with him, you can see bis Hps moving the whole time, and if you talk to him 20 times he doesn't hear you. Daft eyes he's as mud as mad can be." The repetition of the word mad con veyed meaning to Bonaparte's mind. Ue left off paddling bis toes In the wn ter. "Mnd, mad? I know that klw of tnnd," said Bonaparte, "and I kuow the thing to give for It- the front end of a little horsewhip, the tip; nice thing; takes It out," Bald Bonaparte. The Hottentot laughed and trans lated. "No more walking about nnd talking to thcmielvex on this farm now," saM Bonaparte, "no more minding of sheep and rending of hooks nt the same time. The point of a horsewhip la a little thing, but I tli ink he'll hnve a tnste of It before long." Bonnpnrte rubbed his hands aud looked pleasantly across his nose, and then the tbree laughed to gether grimly.

Doss sat among the "karroo" bushes. one yollow ear drnwn over bla wicked llttlo eye, rendy to flap away any ad venturous fly that n 1 1 trli t settle on his nose. Around I1I111 In the morning sun light fed the sheep; behind him lay hhi master, polishing his machine, ne found much comfort In luiiuUIng it thnt morning. A dozen philosophical cssr.ys or angelically attuned snngs for the consolation of the bereaved could aev- er have been to him whnt thnt 'tittle sheep shearing machine was thnt day. After struggling to see the unseeable, growing drunk with the endeavor to span the Infinite and wtlthlng before the Inscrutable mystery It Is a renovat ing relief to turn to some simple, feel able, weiglinMe substance, to some thing which has a smell and a color, which mny be handled nnd turned over this way nnd tlint. Whether there be or be not a hereafter, whether there be any use In calling aloud to the unseen power, whether there be an unseen power to call to, whatever be the true nature of the I who c all and of the ob jects arotinil tno, whatever be our meaning, our internal ess"tice, our cause land in a certain order of minds ncnth nnd the agony of loss inevitably twnken the wild d 'slrc, nt other times smothered, to look iuto these things), whatever tie the nature of that which lies beyoud the uub.-oken wall which the limits of the human Intellect build np on every hand, this thing Is certain a knife will cut wood, nnd one cog ged wheel will turn another. This la sure. Waldo found an Immeasurable satis faction In the hirlling of his machine, but Doss winked and blinked and thought It nM f rlt'litrully monotonous out there on '.he Hat and presently dropped asheri, sitting bolt upright. Suddenly his 1 yes opened wide. Some thing was coming from the direction of the homestead. Winking his eyea and looking Intently, he perceived It was the gray nmre. Now, Doss had won dered much of late whnt had become of ber muster. Seeing she cnrrled some one on her back, he now came to bis own conclusion nnd liegun to move his mil violently up and down. Presently he pricked up one ear and let the other li.uitr Ills tall became motionless, nnd the expression of bis mouth wns one of derided disapproval bordering 011 scorn. lie wrinkled his tips up on mi ll si,... into little lines. The sand was soft, and the gray mnre came ou so uoUelely that the boy heard nothing till Bonaparte dis mounted. Tl.-n Puss got up and moved back a step. Hi did not approve of Bonaparte's appearance. Ills costume. In truth, was of a unliiue kind. It was combination of the town and coun try. The trills of his Mark cloth coat were pluneil up behii.il to keep them from ruhhlue: he had on a pair of moleskin tr. -oners nnd leather gaiters, and In his hand lie carried a little wTilp of rhinoceros hide. Waldo stinted mi l In. kin! up. Hnd there l".on a iivim.-i.t's t ine he would bave dug a hole In the snnd with bis bands and lmrl.il his treasure. It was only a toy of wood, but he loved It, as one of necessity loves what has been born of him, whether of the flesh or spirit. When cold eyes have looked at It. the feathers are rubbed off our but terfly's wing forever. "What b av ey on h. Te. my latiy'w'd Continu il on fourth Page. DWTH1CT I'OSSOLIUATIOX. -'it. II. A. Hall, of this county iH.-l week, diHt-unvic trire the De -aliment of Superintendence, at Kao'u), the rnpOHition of conrtoliilat ing rural school district. He gave a lii-it'irlcal review of toa question htaii.ig that during the last decade, the question had been raised aa to wlie her it was better to bring the school to the child or the child to the srhiJ. Iiriefly dialed, the plan pro porusi for this purpose wns to cot soli ditto lnlf a dozen or iiAire of the ordi nary rural districts into a single (lis trie!, with one central school, organ ize.1 pjathe graded school plan. The pupil--, except those who lived eaft9lking distance, were to be re. gultiily transported to and from school lu carriages or otherwise, by partie under regular contract to pe, form tucb service. The pupil brought together could bo taught by less nurulsr of teachers, and the money, thus saved would pay fur the increased cost of transportation. The following benefits of conaolida tiou ware claimed where the system bad bctn tried: First, better school houses.healing, ventilation and sanl tallon; .second, better equipments such as maps, globes, charts, books, blackboards, eSc.j third, larger more regular and punctual altendcnoe fourth, Ringer school terms and bet ter tcacher; fifth, the inspiration and ciass emulation that comes from Urger classes, 1 Some Spanish officers are rinding the British reverses In South Africa a parallel to their own (allure in Cuba, and are drawing the lesson from then that figMIng hatlles sev I imhikiikI miles from home is ihlUi-uU business at bcrt. This is, of course, correct. Thelioi'rs, however are a much more formidable enemy tin. n 1 lie the Cuban insurgents were Pney are uot braver p .chaps, but they are more numerous, and are armed, having been longer in pre paring for war, and bave stronger tmturrtl defencttt. The lioers, like llie Cubans, have many advantages, among which a thorough knowledge of the country in which they are op. rating i'i not the least. Neverthe less, the British defeats, like those of llie Kp"i inn's, nay be attributed in a const. leraiAu degree to bad general -d ip. The fighting qualities of both British and Spanish soldiers are as 4H"1 as those of any armies in the world, hut their leading ollleers are tint qtial to the demands which mod e n warfare makes upon them. Ry the election in the Seventh Kentucky district the other day all the seats in the House were filled, and the votes of the Democrats, Pop. ulists and all the other non-Republican elements in that chamber reaches 172. This gives the Republicans mojority of thirteen over all. The majority will be much greater than this, however, for all important measures which the Republican; will put forward. The gold standard bill cot a lead of forty. Eleven Demo- . nit-i voted for it, and other Demo. .rats d.slged a vote, and thus reduced the strength of their party on the di vision, W hen any question touch ing the general policy of national expansion comes up the majority on the Republican side will be still larger.

The enemy's position beyond San Fabian at San Jancinto, the lett wing of the advance the ad battalion was under Major Morse as reserve, the right, or 1st was under command of my old Captain's son-in-law Major Crowin a gallant young officer as ever lived and the command was in support, 2d ballation was advance, and in comman J of the finest of all officers for such a task as lay before them, Major John A. Logan, Jr. The ad vance was through water and mud waist deep and as the second echelon of the advance entered the noat vo'ley struck tbem; right in front of Major Logan a poor "buck" soldier who prehaps was worth nothing to anybody, had been shot through the abdoman and was about to drown The Major went into that hole pulled him out and as he went to lay him down, he (Ihe major) was shot through the head by a sharp shooter located in the top of a coconut tree. Thua died, a man who could swing the fairest bells of a brussels ball room, cover the best at the course, handle the foil or pistol with any Frenchman, a man who at last show ed the world that he could die doing the noblest duty that any true Amer ican officer or soldier cai do. Died in saving the life of a "pole" who would have joined an anarchist crowd and throw dynamite at the liveried turnout of his superior, a year ago. If there is a neaven, m hj. John A. Logan's spirit must tie there, For greater love hath no man than he lay down bis life for his brother." I tell you that the men of "A" Co, 3d Inft. who served under Logan at ElCaney, and were complemented by him, are a sorry lot at his death. He was the handsomest, noblest looking specimen of manhood I have seen. don't know what h'story will give as his list words, but his orderly heard them, they were delivered to him, "Tell Col. Hare to detail an acting major for the 1st Battalion, I am gone." 1 will write again, i can write no more at present. 1 only hope if I die here It will be in a simi lar cause. Guy E. Brown Q. M. Egt. Co. "A" 3d Inft, WARSHIPS Hid TO MASILA. Interest in the speed contest be- tween the New Orleans ana tne Brooklyn on the voyage out to Man ila has not yet subsided among naval officers. A calculation made at the navigation bureau shows that, de- ducting the stops made along the routr, the actual steaming time of the two vessels was forty-eight days for the New Orleans and forty-six for the Brooklyn. In other words, the Brooklyn covered the 15000 miles out to Manila In two days' less steam ing time than the New Orleans. The Brooklyn is an American designed and built ship, while tl New Or leans is English built. We bought her at the beginlng of the Spanish war in 1898. VALUES or VRAM POKE. IS XAKIS0 The director of tha Montana ex per. Iment station compares Ihe value of different grain foods for pork as follows : By a combination .ol grain and leguminous pastures pigs can be grown to a weight of 150 pounds at a cost of 2c a siund. Alfalfa, clover, peas, wheat and barley make the best of pig feed. Alfalfa or clover pasture, with a little grain In sum. mer, affords conditions for the cheap est growth and ths greatest profit, Pigs fed on barley or barley and wheat at present market prices will paylor all food consumed when pork is 3jc a pound. The pea, combined with grain, is well adapted to the. wants of the growing animal, and will give the greatest gains on the smallest amount of feed. The lot, fee? I qtial epsrta of barley, wheat and peas made h. gain of 1 pound In weight for t.55 Miunds of ood when the pigs were between the weights of 117.8 and 2(1!) 8. Pigs make the greatest gains aud at a less cost o gain before they reich 200 to 210 pounds iu weight. The quality of pork produced from wheat, barley and eaa in the various combinations used is firm and well adapted for the production of hams ai.d b.icon, the fat and lean of the meat being wel distributed. IT.LIliU Y ABOLISHED. A special to the St Louis Globe. Democrat dated Berlin, Dec. 21, says; Interesting news has been received here via Rio Janeiro and Carlsruhe in a clerical newspaper, containing the. text of the papal encyclical abol Ishirg celibacy as a requirement for flyrgy in Lilin America. TlieSouth American Bishops' council at Home last spring petitioned this indulgence, The encyclical was published on July 10 iu South American papers, al though carefully suppressed through out Euros9. Tho encyclical states that iuiismu as celibacy is a church ordinance aud not a dyvine command, established when candidates for the priesthiKHl were numerous, Mid inasmuch as the priestly calling has fall, n into disre pute iu Latin America and many parishes are without pastors, and iu asmuch as celibacy is the main rea son why the youth are disinclined to become priests in these countries, it seems advisable for those without sufficient moral strength to choose a worthier condition by marying. SEKUMS TO l'KOI.ONd LIKE. The Paris correspondent of the London Morning Post describes one of the greatest discoveries of modern science, which has just been made al the Pasteur Institute. He says that Prof. MetchnikofT is engaged in seek Ing accurate doses of a series of lymphs, each of which will rejuven ate a particular organ of the human body. The correspondent eays: "A sovereign remily against anaemH has been disqt.vered. An entire section of the Pasteur Institute is now working to find the specific serums for each particular organ. If the blood serum acts on the red glob ules of the liver, tho serum have i similar effect on the cells, of the liver, that ol tho brain on the brain, and so on, the experiments have demon strated this. "A specific kidney serum was found some days ago. The professor is now determining the exact dose for medical purposes. The discovery has now passed the period of mere laboratory exH?riments. The cele. orate.! itiai is now at work ou human serums." The correspondent draws attnntion to the obvious result, the great pro longation of human lite, if every thing is successful. frMALL ROE It LOSSES. According to Boer reports, and there is no reason to doubt their ac curacy, the loss of the burghers at Magersfontein was less than 100 kill ed and wounded. The British loss was originally placed at 90, but ad ditions have since lvn made. Gen. Gatscre lost 700 men, while his an tagonist's casuality list was five kill ed, fourteen wounded, a proportation of 1 to .16, In Buller's attack at Colenso the British losses were over 1000. The B:a-rs fought under cover and it is doubtful If their casualties number 100 in all. They have lost few hundred prisoners, chiefly at the battle of Elandslsugte. It is one of the peculiarities of the situation that though the Biers have been in superior force they fight de fensively and screen their men In action with the most scrupulous care. Probably their total lest up to this time is not more than 1200, and may be less. . At the same time almost uniform success has strengthened theii confidence ai d sense of effio ency. O England, where is thy victor . British naval guns have been fire ing some more shells at the B.r on the Tugela, hut at a distance of more than five miles.
