TRAITS OF GEN. KITCHENER
Chartcterirticg of the Man Who Wu In at

HIS REMARKABLE GIFT OF SILENCE
An t alovely Personality, wet Wonrr

- III, Rrrorl
Soldier.
Trill li perultsr figure that step for
irl to take Its place In th front ranks
In the March of th Conquerors.
Evti now. with the laurel, of hi achieve
ments fresh, men acclaim him not nearly
o much for what he did an for the war be
did It.
Thla la a conqueror whoa men do not go
mad with love and adoration of him when
he ride over the stricken field.
A frightening, silent nran-well fitted to
go down In British history as The Silent
Pestroyer. Lee, man than aoldier, lea
man than slayer, loss man than machine
mark? him aa he move through thr dead
routine of field aurvey, the dead routine o(
drilling hopeless native troopa, the dead
routine of a practice march. Iron-Jawed,
wordier,, expressionless, emotionless, mark
him moving living men toward other living
men on the battlefield. Dongola, Athera,
Omdurman! Move after move, check,
checkmate! For all that any man knows
this man moved other men, discarded them,
took them, lost them with as calm method
ae the cheaa player loses and takes the
chessmen. .
All the world saw the man, with his un
readable, still fare, move to his place oa
the vast, bloody chessboard of the Trans
vaal a chessboard from which England's
piece were being swept fast; all the world
saw blm move the pieces. All the world
saw the game atlll wavering, going here and
going there, with England's pawns still be
ing swept away. And then! Checkmate!
Look hack a quarter of a century. In the
bible lands of Palestine, In Galilee, is
tall, gaunt, bony subaltern, with a hard
face, burned brick red. laying the lines of
survey, mapping the country where a figure
once went through the Paaslon for the
world. Standing there on storied bill did
that young Englishman, looking out over
the scenes of the most wonderful history
that ever was, see himself to be one day
lord of Khartoum T
Who Wa He
Men who know him as well as he permits
men to know him ay emphatically, "Yes."
They say that thla man is man con
sumed with ambition, consumed the more
that he keeps Us fires deep pent within him
and dora not let the world see ao much aa
a gleam of their flames. They say that
from his youth he moved steadily, unrest
lngly, never to be turned aside, toward the
prize that his ambition had marked out
for him. If he did not dream of being lord
of Khartoum, be aure he dreamed nay,
knew, that he was to be a, lord of men
somewhere, aomehow. Concerning all
which speculation, what reply will you get
from Horatio Herbert Kitchener? No
smile, no frown nothing but that same
level, atlll, unmoved glance that has been
cast over drill grounds In little villages,
over battle scenes and over crowds of
shouting, enthusiasm-drunken multitudes,
striking their ardor cool within them.
If any man In England had asked any
other well Informed man In England twenty-five
years ago, "Who Is Kitchener?" the
rnswer probably would have been a polite
shrug of the shoulders. There were ten
tlroea ten hundred young Englishmen like
htm scattered around the world and Its
seas, and doing -the work of the empire
well or III, and in either case unknown and
unheeded, except for the" heavy official ma
chine that fed them out and checked them
oil and kept records of them aa they gave
bone and sinew and life tor the thing that
men call a government and a country.
His history up to that time was that
of most of the other young men' whom
England sends away from home to build
for her greatness. His father was a sol
dler of no very high rank. He managed
ta climb to the lieutenant colency of
dragoon regiment, the Thirteenth, a good,
hard riding, straight fighting band. Little
Kitchener was born In Ireland, but he la
more French than Irish, for Lieutenant
Colunel Kitchener waa Suffolk man and
Mrs. Kitchener waa a Ceraller and
descended straight from patrician French
Huguenots.
The boy grew up like all English boys
of his class. On day ha waa aent away
from home to learn to ba a royal engineer.
And an engineer ha became and an engi

Certainly there waa llttl In Kitchener'
early surroundings to provoke fighting
Clood. As a royal engineer, he was trotted
around to varloua unendingly peaceable
land, to view them through the glaaa In
hi, theodolite and measure them with 4he
steel tape and otherwise disport himself.

A Marriage
If It were nereesary o give an opinion
as to what Is the first aud chief constituent
of a happy marriage one might hesitate
for a moment over the thought of many
almost Indispensable virtues, and dally over
that of absolute trustfulness on both sides,
but one. If thinking snd weighing dellb
erstelv, would decide trefently that the
real requisite for happiness in marriage 1
good nature. Not that a tempest once in a
gret while may not be worth while to
clear the air aud to show how good th
other Is, but In the long, round year the
sunshine and fair weather Is the beet.
What will you not pardon to a sunny-
faced rogue? A man may commit count
less peccadilloes, a thousand offense
against good taste, even be guilty of sins,
but an unfailing sweetness of disposition
will win forgiveness of them all. A woman
may be extravagant, a poor housekeeper,
even slatternly, or a provoker of scandal,
but there Is no disruption In the household
of which she Is mistress as long as with
smile she acknowledges her fault, though
her sin is ever before ua. A pair of dimples
has saved many a little scamp from a
whipping; they are Just as useful when the
camp Is older and the dimple are slipping
into wrinkles. For the dlmplajs not only
evidence of the smile itself, but it stimu
lates the smile of others.
Who can. rebuke too sharply or too fre
quently when reproach la always received

During his farewell visit to his boyhood
home at Hannibal. Mix, Mark Twain
preached the first sermon in his life in the
Baptist church during the regular Sunday
service. The church waa crowded, there
being at least 1.000 persons In the audience.
many of them being friends and compan
ions of his youth. Rev. Everett GUI, pas
tor of the church, preached a sermon of
about fifteen mlnutea. taking a bla text
'Garlands for Ashes." In the course of
his remarks he paid an eloquent tribute to
Mark Twain by speaking of hia sterling
character, the life work of sixty-seven
years. On closing he asked the humorist
to take the pulpit.
Mark Twain, filled with emotion, arose
from the pew In which he sat, with all
eyes of the Immense audience turned to
him. The occasion was a most Impressive
one. The veteran writer, with his long
white hair hanging in curly lock, was to
preach to the people of the city where he
had apent hi boyhood day. The theme
of his sermon was "The Gospel of Good
Cheer." The remarks were listened to
with intense interest.
"I thank Rev. Dr. GUI for the privilege
which, be has offered by permitting me to
say -a few words," he said. "I will not
take the pulpit, for I should be embar
rassed with unsanctlfied tongue If I did.
It might be well for me to atand there on
a weekday, but on Sunday I think the place
for the layman ia in the pew, so with your
permission I shall remain here at my seat
and tell you what I have to say. Here
anyone can talk without reproach. Even
here In this humble rapacity I am doing
what you are always doing preaching. The
art of preaching 1 to Influence you. From
the pulpit and from the mouth of all of
you the preaching goes on all the time.
Our words and acts are not for ourselves,
but for others. They are like, the tidal
wave of the aea that encircle the earth.
They are heard about ua when they are
uttered. We are preaching all the time.

we carry Influence. We ought to remem

reminder. We had better see that our con

world today, is owing to the work of the
man who since then has been depicted in
European print a a hanger of men, a
layer of babe, and a acourger of womea.
Ia Cypres.
In 1STS England, in the methodical move
ment of her red tape machine, sent him to
Cyprus, where he did "something or an
other" about the organization of the land
court. England had only Just then ac
quired Cyprus, and there was lots of dull.
deadly, monotonous work to do. He re
mained there, off and on, until 1883.
Imagine the man who waa to be My Lord
Khartoum, sitting in his hot office in that
year, listening to the drone of a sleepy
complainant and a atlll more aleepy de
fendant, both quarreling about a matter
concerning which truth lay at the bottom
of a well far too deep for human aoundlng
and not three hundred mile away British
guns roaring and British shells thundering
at Alexandria, and young Condor Beresford
lying under Dre and "having the time of hi
life" and big history making all around'
Now It la almost an established fact that
one Kitchener did witneaa the bombardment
of Alexandria. It la a completely estab
lished fact that there 1 no official record
giving any Kitchener leave to go away from
Cyprus. But Cyprus did not suffer, nor
did the bombardment.
Then things began to happen fast and
furious In Egypt. And then did a certain
brick red, bony and almost unpleasantly
allent youth rage In high quarters against
law courts and civil organization and office
work In Cyprus, where a man had to wear
a dress suit at dinner every night and do
other things equally futile.
Dres utt thereupon became thing of
th past with Kitchener. After Tel-el-
Keblr aaw the breaking of Arabl', mad
might, England had to take in hand tha
reorganization of the Egyptian army, o
called by eourteay. Sir Evelyn Wood waa
appointed sirdar (commander). He de
manded twenty-five British officer for the
work. Being about as hopeless and un
pleasant and unprofitable and unpromlaing
a Job a ever tared white men. tber waa a
rush of young Britons. Kitchener waa
among them. He became an officer in the
glorious army of th khedlve on of that
curious corp who worked loyally for the
little brown ruler and were ready at any
moment to knock hla head off if tbey or
dear old England didn't like anything that
h did.
A Heweless A may.
The Egyptian army waa a band of under
paid, underfed, under treated and under
mined fellaheen. It waa an army without
stomach, without heart and without back
bone. It went forth to war only with a
view to retreating at the earliest possible
moment. It slouched and loafed and did
not wash. It could not shoot. And
Kitchener worked over those helpless reeds
ef broken natives and gripped them and
aqueezed them, and, being a man himself.
found the man in the weak-kneed levlea
before him.
He mad such men out of them that tn
1SS7 they mad him commander In Suakln,
and there are remnant of desert hordes
yet who remember carta la ensuing lean
year. They remember yet how the gaunt
man stepped calmly Into their camp one
night, unarmed and alona. and cheerfully
flicked their sacred chief Into the face with
riding whip in the midst of hla apear
bearer and gun carrier,, because that
sacred chief waa Just preparing to axeeut
a British aoldier who had been raught that

nature Is better than any impeccability?
We have, most of us, seen exquisite
housekeepers who all but follow the in
truder about with a broom, who are ready
to dust the chair you rise from, require
overshoes to be left outside the door: who,
if you take a book from one room and lay
It down, carry it back before your eyes;
who make more circumstances of broken
china than of broken bones. And most
of us prefer for a companion the home
body, who make no fus about anything,
but who ia tender and caressing and gay
and consoling and sympathetic and always
sweet tempered, although there be fluff on
her floors, and nicks on her dishes, and no
meal ready at it appointed hour. And
most of us, again, rather than with the
petulant and fault-finding man. or with the
stern and sour and solemn Incarnation of
all the virtue, or with the lofty and su
perior soul, without whose wisdom and
learning the world could not revolve, would
choore companionship with the off-band,
happy-go-lucky fellow, who. If the dinner is
late, says: "Never mind; it will be all
the better when It does come," or tf we
ourselves are late for church or theater or
outing says: "Well, we will enjoy it all
the more when we get there;" or. If the
servants are rebellious, condone. It by de
claring: "We can't expect perfection for
the price we pay." And this man may
have his better faults, he may not be at

on and on with me. Although there are
many long silent In the grave they have
not ceased to so preach. They did not

Preaching when dead is not lost. Wash

President Eliot of Harvard college was
arguing in favor of education by "showing
how," before a claas of kindergartners. He
said that he was learning something every
day by being "shown how."
He illustrated his point by describing the
training of medical students, and concluded
by telling of an old friend of hla who had
suddenly becomo deaf in one ear.
"How did this happen?" I asked him.
"Well, I was blowing my nose the other
day, when I felt something snap In my ear,
followed by an aching and dullness.
"When the doctor came he said the drum
had split and asked how I did it.
" 'I only blew my nose, I told the doctor.
" 'Well, had you opened your mouth when
you blew your nose you would not now have
a damaged ear drum,' was the medico'
reply.
"You see, my friend had lived aeventy
years and bad never been show how to blow
his nose," concluded President Eliot.
Nothing ia more beautiful than the old
age of a man and wife who have grown
dear to each other by the manifold experi
levies Into Handuh one day. The great
bearded Emir and the savage, hairy, fight
ing men laughed through their teeth when
they saw htm come. They had made the
poor rice eaters of Egypt run too often to
dream of anything else except an easy
laughter. But thla time the men whom
Kitchener had found in the fellaheen were
behind thoae brown aklns, in which one
there had been room for nothing but quak
ing hearts. And Emirs and hairy fighting
men snapped their teeth in the dust In
dying and spearmen fell to rise no more.
The troops were beaten oft at last, but
Kitchener, although defeated in this his

Within a year after Handub he led a
brigade of Soudanese over the trenche at
Gemaizeh and Incidentally over Osman'
men, who had incautiously occupied them.
In 1889 h again commanded a brigade. All
thla time he was gazing at th Soudan,
studying it, laying his plana to subdue it.
He had profited by all the experiences of
others. As intelligence officer with Stew
art's Ill-starred desert column, he had noted
for future use the breakdown of th system
of communications.
It waa Kitchener who plunged Into the
Korosko desert and in less than three week
cam out not only alive (then a feat in It
self), but with th Information that he
had succeeded in establishing a chain of
outpost extending to the Red aea and
guarded by 1.000 friendly Arab.
It was Kitchener whose native cavalry
aent the Dervisbe in rout across th desert
and atopped all Arab invaalon for a year.
And it was Kitchener who, In 18&0, was
appointed Sirdar.
And In 1898 the Soudan was conquered.
Before be could move to conquer the
Soudan he had o conquer the khedive. He
did. The khedive said something Insulting
about British officers. Kitchener rode up
close to htm and the khedive Issued a
general order praising the army and par

A year paeaed by and still the army

blow of pickaxe and the acraplng of

In fact, good nature is a charm that
never dies. Beauty fades, accomplishments
fall, but good nature survive till all else
falls to dust. It blends the oppoalng and
contradictory elements like a fortunate
solvent. It act precisely as sunshine does,
and where you find It happiness flourishes
and life Is enriched. In any individual
it declares the existence of a calm and
etrong nervous temperament, and nothing
lends lwelf more to peace and prosperity
in a household than that. It la a blessed
thing, then, that such a trait can be es
tablished; that represaion here, and ex

ences of life, says the Youth' Companion.
So nothing is more grim and hideous than
such an old age when the long years have
heaped up bitterness and discord only.
In many a country household, where wife-
beating would be regarded with horror,
there is practised a cruelty no less terrible
and even more persistent.
An old couple who had been married fifty
years finally separated because the man
wanted a half-bushel of ashes on the hearth
and his wife wanted a peck. They had
argued the question unremittingly and sav
agely for forty-nine years and at last
ended the bitter sport by a stormy parting.
There is a grim humor in many of the
countryman's expressions of his domestic
irritation and discomfort, but they are none
the less significant of untold suffering.
One night a country doctor was detained
at a farmhouse, where husband and wife
were notoriously Incompatible. From the
"kitchen bedroom" where he waa Installed
he was forced to hear every word of a
tirade, which; the woman poured upon the
head of her husband. The victim bore it
without a word. At last, the doctor re
lates, the farmer rose to go to the barn
for bis nightly visit to "the critters." With
his hand on the latch of the door, he
flung back over hla ahoulder:
"Waal. Salrey, there's that In ye that
nothin' but the ground'U ever take out!"
An old blacksmith drove borne from the
funeral of his wife with a lifelong friend.
As they rode slowly through a winter twi
light the widower half soliloquized:
"She was a good cook an" a first-rate
housekeeper. She . was savin. She alter
kep' me well mended up. But I never liked
her!"
The grotesqueness of the incidents doe
not conceal their tragedy. That might be
made the text of a sermon on self-control,
cheerfulness, loviogness and the other
homely, useful domestic virtues. These
same virtues must be planted and culti

rear the shouting followers of the Prophet
were cutting out the wagon trains of sup

no rushed camps, no sniping, no desultory,
heart-breaking fighting.
The march began. Day after day, week
after week, month after month, the slow
progress went on. Men worked all day to
move trains and barges; they slept all
night as securely as If they were In the
heart of friendly country. To a world wait
ing for glorious deeds this was gall .and
wormwood. Kitchener became a byword for
something that defied patience. Thl was
not war. Thl wa ahopkeeplng, farming,
land-measuring, anrthlnr but war. Ani
Kitchener, the unlovely, who they say never
looked at woman with tenderness or senti
ment, beard the talk of the world as It
drifted to him In hi Nile camps. He
listened to It with that level, unanesklnv
glance and sent war correspondent back

of time. That wa his answer. In it no
word was wasted.
Ana the Osndaranaa.
And one morning, on September i, 1898.
sometnmg happened in a far place called
Omdurman, where there were gathered
great hosts of brave Emirs and tall desert
lighter and women of the harem and much
treasure. And when the something had
aone nappenlng the field was "white with
Jlbbah clad corpses, like a meadow dotted
with anowdrlfts." Khalifa Abdullah, who
had boasted that morning that Kitchener's

brave Gordon' head rolled, was hiding
The fierce Osman Dlgna, the Sword of the
Soudan, was fleeing with a handful of sur
vivor,. Along the river mounted British
troop were cantering and spearing the
Dervishes who had escaped the bath ef fire.
The despised Egyptian troop,, thoie same
men who once had been sheep before the
Dervish wolves, were guarding 15.000 sullen
desert dweller, whose desert were never
to know their fierce forays again.
And that night Sirdar Kitchener rode
through the camp and he looked around
him as he had looked around him at drill
many years before. In that hard., unmoved
face was sign of neither triumph or elation
or relief or weariness. His men cheered
when they saw him, but even the cheer
rang out they would die away, for this
grim, changeless, passionless creature wa
not one to arouse wild bursts.
