I ALL FOR HIS COUNTRY'S SAKE
DON'T like to shoot you , , Franz ,
H I'd like to take you alive. "
"Perhaps it would be better.
Wait a moment , Charley , ' ' replied the
man addressed , trying to extricate his
leg from beneath his fallen horse.
It was a tragic half-minute in the life
of Franz Van Uliyn , * and the fatal hour
of Col. Cbaries Cooper of the West Pro
vince Mounted rifles.
A bullet from the colonel's revolver
Lad slain the steed from under his for
mer college chum , and the latter lay
J ( .niggling with his rifle to defend him-
K-lf from capture by the British. His
; -rni and leg were torturing him with
'pain , caused by splinters from an ar
tillery shell. ,
"I'll n.ver be taken alive , " said the
Afrikander to himself. "No amnesty
for me , if I am captured. All is fair in
love and * '
But lie did not finish the thought.
.Why waste the word , when he had liv
ed , moved and had his being in war ,
war , war not love fora whole league
of mouths. His rifle was free by this
time and lie lifted it to his shoulder
his left shoulder , for he was born with
this peculiarity.
Col. Cooper saw the movement and I
fired again , but the ball went wild. It
was a perilous moment for him , for
the chambers of his revolver were now
ti empty , and he wheeled his horse about
In the direction of retreat.
. "Don't go , " yelled Van Rhyn. "You
have had three shots at me. Now give
me a chance. "
No response in words came back to
GIVE ME A CHANCE. '
this bantering cry , but the clear air
bore to the Boer marksman the sound
of a fallen body's impact upon the
earth. The Afrikander had punctured
his challenge with a leaden exclama
tion ; point !
I 'As Cooper fell another Englishman
galloped to the spot.
"Now , you Boer fool , " he cried , "it
is your turn. " But the rifle of the crip
pled marksman answered him with a
grim laugh in its own peculiar accent
and another pool of Anglo-Saxon blood
bathed the head of Capt. Wilson in a
crevice of the donga. It was late in
the afternoon and the declining sun shot
lontr shadows across the veldt.
Col. Charles Cooper , the former col
lege mate and friend of Franz Van
JKhyn. was not dead. As the Boer mov
ed toward the bridle o'n Wilson's rid-
erlpss horse , the English trooper lifted
.himself , bleeding and fatigued , to level
a freshly-loaded bullet. No one will
ever know what his thoughts were as
he looked , for the last time , upon the
enemy who had once been his special
protege in school , the former 14-year-
old boy whose quarrels with the bullies
of the Cape Town academy had always
been his quarrels , the subject of many
a list fight in which he had made good
his claim to the friendship of Franz
jH Rliyn. Only the latter's thoughts
arelef t tTTspeak for the tragedy of this
moment , when another Afrikander bul
let tore through the Englishman's
vitals and left him still as the breath
of nature among the sand doons.
"I could not have done It , " murmured
the Boer as he led two English horses
to the rear of a mound ; "but I would not
betaken alive. It was either his life
or mine. "
Behind the mound there lay in the
worst tortures of fever his superior
officer. Commandant Albert Maritz ,
holding up his head with difficulty to
Inquire after the issue of the battle.
With tender care , even-by the man who
was himself in pain , the ranking soldier
was assisted into the saddle of one
horse and Van Rhyu climbed with the
aul of his uninjured hand into the other ,
uuee again he was compelled to dis
mount and meet face to face an Eng
lish cavalryman who sought to capture
the refugees. Another bullet and an
other death in the British ranks. Franz
Van Rhyn and Albert Maritz were now
safe on their way to Koegas , across the
border of the German province in West
Africa.
- . "I 'did it on your aceounj : as much as
iil.T own , " said Van Rhyn , but his corn-
par ion was too sick to ask an explana
tion.
It was on June 5 , 1902 , that the two
wretched troopers engaged in this final
Inttle of Garies several days after
l > : -ace had been declared , it is true , but
midf necessary by the desperate atti-
II tl of the fugitives toward the Brlt-
j . .Town. This is the explanation that
v.i Khyn himself has made of his
-w I. . . * He has made It with a pa-
i tone of voice , when his thoughts

- h-5 nd of his boyhood ; but pathos
> ; .iven place to a sturdier and more
Vi useful note when his mind turned
to the recollection of the cause for
which he fought , the principle of the
British and the overthrow of Kruger.
Franz Van Rhyn Is an exile from his
native land and he has told his tale as
an explanation of his presence in the
United States. Maritz is dead , as he
could not long survive the fever that
beset hiiif , and his body now lies in
American soil.
"The poor fellow was regarded by the
Boers as their fourth commandant in
the4 scale of importance , " said the sur
viving soldier as he finished the account
of the death of Col. "Charley" Cooper.
"He and 1 together raised 11,000 men in
'
Cape Colony to fight for the African re-
j public. '
"After we had made ourselves safe
in German territory we took a vessel
and went to Maderia. Thence we ship
ped to Southampton , remaining there
several days in disguise. We called
ourselves the brothers Wilson , and
during our stay there my hand never
left the butt of my revolver. It would
have gone hard with the man who tried
to take me. When the health of Com
mandant Maritz permitted we sailed
for America. Maritz died at Chicago.
Of the rest of the twenty-six men that
made the ride from Lilyfontaine to the
German border or were taken on the
field at Garies I know nothing. "
The name of Van Rhyn was made fa
mous in Denver recently by the report
of his intention to start an ostrich
farm in Colorado. The Boer fighter
has determined to make this his home
until the English see fit to issue him
a pardon. This he does not expect , and
hence he will engage in the endeavor
with which he is familiar and import
ostrichs from his father's farm to
start a flock of his own.
Van Rhyn is only 20 years old , accord
ing to his own statement , but he tells
a remarkable story. One would be
prone to doubt it if hedid not carry
papers that seem to establish his iden
tity and lend credence to what he says.
He wears on his vest a medal of the
Matabele war in 1S93. when he says he
fought with the Charter company of
Cecil Rhodes ; also a Mollobach medai
which he says was presented to him by
President Kruger.
TREE AS AN INQUISITOR.
Bears Fruit Which Malaarasya Think
Poisonous , Fatal Only to Criminals.
There is a peculiar tree indigenous
to Madagascar which is believed by
the natives to possess the power of
divination. They are firmly of the
opinion that , while an ordinary person
may eat its fruit with impunity , a
criminal will die after partaking of
the smallest morsel of it. The tree
is known as the tangen. Forceuturies
(
it was the custom to use the fruit of
the taugen for the purpose of ascer
taining whether criminals charged
with grave offenses were guilty or not
In each case the prisoner was
brought into court and. the judge
thereupon solemnly handed him a fruit
from a tangen tree and told him that
if he ate it and it did him no harm he
would be considered innocent , but that
if it killed him he would l e considered
guilty. As there is a great deal of
poison in the 'fruit it can readily be
seen that very few , if indeed any , were
able to pass through this ordeal un
scathed.
It is said that some criminals who
had great political influence or consid
erable wealth managed to escaps
through the connivance of the judges ,
but , on the other hand , the criminal
records tell of many cases in which
prisoners died a horrible death very
soon after they had eaten the noxious
fruit m
More civilized methods of adjudication ca
cabi
tion now prevail in Madagascar , but bi
biX
though this barbarous custom is obso X
lete , the tangeu tree Is regarded with bi
bib
almost as much aversion as it ever b
was. A proof of this may be found in
in the fact that a French naturalist fo
fob
recently tried to obtain some branches b\
and fruit of the trees , but , though he bk
asked several natives to aid him in k
the search he was unable to obtain the tt
slightest assistance from any of them. ttbi

The Jewelry Peddler.
There is apparently about as much
ei
trust in the jewelry business as there eiw
is between brokers on the stock ex-

. A number of the

manufacturing jewelers permit the , frw
curbstone brokers in jewelry to have tt
large stocks of goods on memorandum , 01
and it is rare for one of these rnen , tl
to defraud the firm. They carry their fa
stocks to down town offices , where faal
Wall Street men congregate. It has al
been found that many men who would alal
never go to a jewelry store are tempt alal
ed to buy articles which are displayed tt
to them by the jewelry peddler. From
the standpoint of the wholesale dealer tl
this business is conducted almost en tl

WINTER CAMPS IN THE LUMBER WOODS
ARE THE TRUE ESSENCE OF LIBERTY
( s pleasure and independence in the winter life In the lumber
woods that is more than recompense for its many disagreeable conditions
THERE
ditions , " said one who has had personal experience in that life. "The
wholesome exercise , the pure , brisk , spicy air , the very isolation of
the woods , where , for weeks none in the camp sees anything of the out
side world or even hears from it , conduce to good appetite and good diges
tion , hence to health and cheerfulness and content , so that even the tyro In
the camp can join with a good heart in this lusty song of the woodsmen ,
with which generations of their robust forbears were wont to begin their
labor or round out the evenings in the firelit cabin :
"The music of our burnished ax . h _
Shall make the woods resound
' *
And many a lofty , ancient pine ' ,
, ' Shall tumble to the ground. ' -
At night , around our good campfire , . < * - '
t ft We'll shig jvjjjle rude winds blow ;
Oh , we'll range the wild woods over
As a-sluiubering we go !
"The companionship of the lumber camp is anything but .iliuod. The
food is by no means dainty. One does not wrap the drapery" his couch
about him and lie down to pleasant dreams on a spring mattress , for the
couch may be a straw-tick in a boarded bunk , on a pile of fragrant hem
lock or spruce boughs , qn the cabin floor , as he may choose. When he turns
in for the night , if he were blind his nose would tell him that felt boots
and woolen stockings , in use all day in the snow , were drying by the fire.
But freedom is in the air. Sickness or poor appetite is unknown. The
food , though coarse , is well cooked. A bad cook in a lumber camp would be
run out of it without delay.
"A" lumber camp is a true democracy. Every man is as good as his
brother , but no better. A malcontent is shunned by his fellows until lie
either sees his folly and becomes congenial or the camp becomes unbearable
to him and he leaves it.
"Nothing like a life in the woods gives strch opportunity for the prac
tical study of animals in the winter. Then the prowling bear hides awaj
under the roots of some fallen tree , in the hollow log , or even beneath a
coverlet of snow.
"The cunning coon snuggles in some hollow tree or crevice in the rocks
and sleeps away the cold days and nights , his family huddled about him.
The woodchuck curls himself up in dry knolls far beneath the reach of
frost. The frisky squirrel tucks himself and his wife away in their leafy
nest in the crotch of some old oak or chestnut tree , and lives like a king
on the store of nuts lie and she have worked all through the fall to gather.
The hedgehog rolls himself up in some snug retreat and sleeps.
"And meantime those Avinged challengers of the cold , the hawks , the
owls , the woodpeckers , the little chickadees , and others that scorn to seek
the South because old Boreas blows , screech and hoot and hammer and
twit , seeking food and pleasure.
"Whatever animal orbird does the woodsman knows it. He knows more
§
about them than books or bookmaiccrs. Daily he learns from the woods
something new about animal and plant and tree , and knows well that
although he continues daily and nightly of and among them , he has not
years enough to live even if his life be of the longest wherein to learn
it all. " New York Sun.
METHODS OF THE SERVANTS IN MANILA
WOULD NOT SUIT THE AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE
my friends here I learn that much of the patriarchal system of
FROM still prevails even in Manila , " says an American woman in The
Dutlook. "In some large houses there are from twenty to thirty depend
ents of all degrees , from poor relations to cooks and scullions. These
persons live about the house , sleeping in corners , and are clothed and fed
by the mistress. They marry , nave children , and raise them in a harum-
scarum way that would drive an American woman to an insane asylum.
Again and again I have seen in one of the finest housese here small naked
children asleep behind the parlor door , while large eyed , placid women nursed
babies , quite unabashed , as they crouched on the floor in the hallways.
These servants have their home , their clothes , food and from three to five
pesos a month. In a way , I suppose , they earn this money , as they non
chalantly polish the hardwood floors or carelessly flap dust from the center
of tables and chairs. They sit on the floor in kitchens in front of a pan ot
water and wash the dishes that are piled up around them , and stack them
edgeways along the wall to dry. Surely their ways are not ours , and it
is A { shock to the nerves to see a kitchen in the heat of preparation for a
banquet of which one is to partake later. It requires some skill to pass
between the various dishes being prepared on the floor , where cats and ii
dogs and babies , meats and fruits and vegetables , seem hopelessly jumbled
up. I always forget about it later , for a delicious dinner will almost always
come forth from the chaos. Many of these servants have lived all their lives
in one family. They feel themselves dependent on their masters , and the
idea of their going or being dismissed
away never occurs to either master or
servant. There is consequently a family feeling between them , and a
freedom of intercourse that we , democrats though we are. would not tel
erate. A friend told me that his head servant always remonstrates with- him
when he disapproves any course of action , and sometimes I have witnessed
an altercation between a mistress and maid in which the maid prevailed. At
one house , I remember , there was a difference of opinion at dinner as to-the if
kind of wine to be served , and the servant ' had his way ; yet they are not
considered impertinent by their masters' "
CLAMS AS RAT-CATCHERS.
Careless Rodents Get Too Close to
Stock of Bivalves.
The clam in his time has played
lany parts , ranging from a table deli-
the ' * f contentment
acy to symbol < ,
ut the clam as a rat-trap , says the
tew York Mail and Express , is the
rand-new role successfully essayed
y two large round bivalves recently
i the New York aquarium feed room ,
orinerly the magazine room when the
uilding was Fort Clinton.
A barrel or more of hard clams are
ept < constantly in the ( feedroom , as
his is the chief food of a number of
arieties of the fishes and the inverte-
rates in the collection.
On the occasion in question the keep-
rs and attendants in the building
fere startled by prolonged squeaks
nd scamperings , coming apparently
rorn among the clams. The surprise
ras made complete when , on opening
he door , they found two rats held , pris-
ners , one with a clam on his tail and
lie other with a hind foot hard and
ast between the shell of another clam.
The one with his foot fast was un-
ble to move , but the other scampered
bout , tjie clam bumping up and down
fter the manner of the tin can tied to
he caudal appendage of a dog.
So ludicrous was the situation that
he keepers were unable to do auy-
hing but laugh. Examination showed
hat the rodents , doubtless in search
f food , had been reckless of the par-
ially opened shells of the clams and
he latter had closed , entrapping the
nimals. A clam will stay closed just
s ! long as any movement near his shell
evident , and the frantic efforts of
he rats to escape only served to make
he odd traps firmer.
The rats were dispatched after ev-
ry one within call had had a look and
laugh. *
GATE TO MATRIMONY.
Demand for Women Stenog
raphers Due to Cupid's Competition.
For workers in one occuption the de-

for women stenographers continues oibi
despite the constant bi

From the colleges and schools of Chicago oi
cage the stenographers come in the- hun ithi
dreds. They have little difficulty in en hi
tering the oflices of business houses , irdi
corporations , and firms. Their prede di
