A
TWO MEAN TOWNS.
Stories Told by Travelinjc Men About
a. Couple of Decidedly Poor
Places to Live In.
TK»E LITTLE COT.
They were talking about bad towns.
"The meanest place I ever was in, said
the man who travels for a Chicago house, "ia
down in Massachusetts. Say, do you know
what happened while I was stopping there
once ? A man had fallen through a hole in
the sidewalk and sustained injuries that re-
sulted in the loss of his right arm. He sued
the city for damages, and the case was tried
before a jury, which, the papers said, was
-composed of representative citizens. Well,
what do you suppose they did to him?
Brought in a verdict in favor of the city,
holding that inasmuch as he was left-handed
his injury didn't amount to anything."
"Yes, the cigar man said, "that'sa pretty
mean town, I admit, but I know of a worse
one. This place is in Pennsylvania. An ac-
quaintance of mine down there was injured
some time ago in pretty much the same way
the man you mentioned got hurt. He fell on
a bad sidewalk and lost one of his legs. He
sued the city, and didn't get anything. I
never heard just why, but probably because
the jurors didn't believe he needed more than
one leg in his business, seeing that he was
a barber and couldn't hone a razor or shave
a man with his foot anyway. But wait, I
haven't come to the point at which the real
meanness developed. Being a poor man, be
couldn't afford to buy a cork leg, so he had
to get along with a wooden peg, and one day
while he was crossing the principal street
this peg in some way got wedged between a
couple of paving stones right in the middle of
the street car track. It took them nearly an
hour to get him loose, and what do you sup-
pose happened then? Blamed if they didn t
go and fine him ten dollars and costs for
obstructing traffic!"—Chicago Times-Herald.
PRONE TO EXAGGERATE.
Tibia Tendency of Americans Affords
Amusement to an Enc-
lish Writer.
Americans are not notable for their strict
adherence to the truth, but their exaggera-
tions are so manifest that they cannot be
fairly accused of lying. William Archer, an
English author, has recently written a book
ia which he gives some characteristic exam-
ples of this trait. He very properly classes it
as "American humor."
"On board one of the Florida steamboats,
which have to be built with exceedingly light
draught to get over the frequent shallows of
the rivers, he relates, "an Englishman ac-
costed the captain with the remark: 'I un-
derstand, captain, that you think nothing of
steaming across a meadow where there's
been a heavy fall of dew.' 'Well, I don't
know about that,' replied the captain, 'but
it's true we sometimes have to send a man
ahead with a watering pot.' Again, a south-
em colonel was conducted to the theater to
see Salvini's 'Othello.' He witnessed the
performance gravely, and remarked at the
close: 'That was a mighty good show, and
I don't see but the coon did as well as any
of 'em.' A third anecdote that charmed
me was that of the man who, being invited
to take a drink, replied: 'No, no, I solemnly
promised my dear, dead mother never to
touch a drop; besides, boys, it's too early in
the morning; besides, I've just had one.' "—
Chicago Chronicle.
Matrimony on Small Capital.
A Wilmington clergyman tells of a Phila-
delphia couple who came to him to be mar-
ried one day. When they left the boat at the
Fourth street wharf in the city they had but
five dollars between them. Nevertheless, the
groom called a cab and ordered to be driven
to the city hall and then to the nearest min-
ister._ At the city hall he paid $3.60 for a
marriage license, which left $1.40 to pay the
cabman and to fee the minister. At the lat-
ter's house the cabby demanded $1.50. The
groom replied that he did not have it, and
the driver compromised on a dollar, leaving
40 cents for the minister. The groom, how-
ever, was not done buying, for he stepped in-
to a near-by store and bought an envelope
for a cent. In this he put the remaining 39
cents, and after the ceremony handed it to
the minister. How the newly-married
couple got back to Philadelphia is a mystery.

There was a cahin In a land
Covered by the Almighty's hand;
A savage cot it was, but He
Endowed it with His love for me;
And what was all that love? I wis,
The welcome of a woman's kiss!
It was a savage cot—I say
But Love was minister each day;
And when the lonely twilight came
'Twas Love that whispered sweet
name!
So that I said: "What e'er I be.
It is God's hand that covers me!"
It was God's hand . . . for lo you, now
There were sweet kisses on my brow —
Such kisses as th« rich might deem
The memory of a golden dream
That passed, and was no more to be—
But hers and God's love covered me!
Behold! It was a dream; I knew
In many a garden roses grew;
That many a palace and dim cot
Knew that dear love which I knew not!
Tet still I sing to hill and sea;

EDWARD FEXN occupied the posi-
tion of watchmaker in a large and
prosperous jewelry store. He was a
man much envied by the clerks in the
store, for, as an expert, he demanded
and received a generous salary. The
clerks all spoke of him, however, as
"Old Fenn," and, because they had little
in common with him, they regarded
hiro as a most unsocial being.
In reality he was a shy, retiring man,
nearly 45 years of age; anxious to be
friendly, but unaware of the best
method to adopt, finding it easier to be
silent, lost in his own thoughts, than to
exert himself and enter in with the chat
of the lads behind the counters. He
seemed to be always alone; patient, sol-
itary, and content to live out his life
in the same narrow groove in which it
ran, apparently waiting only for the
death that would make so little differ-
ence to any human being except him-
self.
"I can't understand what you think
of all day, Fenn," his employer had said
to him once, and Fenn had looked up
with his rare, singularly sweet smile,
and said':
"Mr. "White, have you never had a
past ?"
That was all anyone within the store
knew of Fenn. His landlady found him
a most excellent tenant, who paid
promptly for his one small room, and
never found fault, even on the cook's
day out. No one had ever see% him an-
gry, but, or, the contrary, no one had
ever seen him joyous. His life ran on
evenly, as undisturbed as any clock un-
der his watchful eye. He appeared
each morning on the stroke of eight,
and departed with equal promptness
when the store closed for the n ight.
His luncheons he had eaten at the same
restaurant for 15 years. Except for the
fact he did his work with minuteness
of an extraordinary kind, he appeared
the most commonplace individual in the
city.
One bright spring morning, when the
sun poured in through the broad win-
dows, turning the jewels displayed
there to liquid fire, and when the soft
wind came puffing in at the doors as
though determined to lure away every
restless clerk for a frolic in the coun-
try, Mr. Fenn paused for a moment to
speak to one of the men.
"Good morning," he said, courteous-
ly, "can you tell me what the date is?"
"The 15th of Ma3r," replied the one ad-
dressed, somewhat surprised at this de-
parture from Mr. Fenn's usual rule.
"Thank you. It is. as I thought, my
birthday."
There was a moment's pause before
another spoke up, cheerfully:
"Many happy returns of the day,
sir!"
"Eh? O, thank you. It is a long time
since anyone wished me that," and so
saying, Mr. Fenn passed on to his table
in the corner, with his usual impassive
mien.
"Poor old Fenn," the clerk said, com-
passionately. "I dare say he is lonely."
As the morning wore away towards
noon, a young woman entered the shop
and approached Mr. Fenn's desk. He
glanced up with his customary look of
quiet attention, which changed sudden-
ly to one of keen interest as he eagerly
scanned the newcomer's face.
"Is this the watchmaker?" she asked.
"Yes."
"I have a watch here, which won't
go. I wish you would look it over and
tell me what the trouble is."
With hands that shook Mr. Fenn took
from her an old-fashioned silver watch.
"This is not yours?" he said.
"No. my sister's."
"Then I am right; you must be little
Lucy!"
"My name is Lucy, but—" she hesi-
tated.
"You don't remember me? Well,
child, you naturally would not. I have
changed since you saw me. Tell me,
did you ever hear—he paused a mo-
ment, then continued—"your sister
—speak of Edward Fenn?"
"Mr. Fenn!" she cried. "You are not
the Mr. Fenn I used to call Uncle Ed?"
"Yes," he answered, smiling, sadly,
"and your sister. Is she—well?"
"O. yes, quite well. It must be a long
time since you have seen her?"
"Twenty years," Mr. Fenn said, quiet-
ly. "Twenty long years. She probably
has forgotten me. Her—her husband
is living. I suppose?"
"Husband? Ellen has never mar-
ried."
"Xot married ? But surely I heard
that, she was to be."
"Yes. I know there was an engage-
ment, but I was only a child then,
and she never spoke of it to me but
once. That was to say, it had been
broken off in a moment of misunder-
s-tanding, and that she had never seen
the man again to make it up. She be-
lieves him to be dead now, and can-
not bear to have him spoken of. I
don't know why I teJl you these
things, but surely you were a good
friend of ours then?"
"Friend?" he echoed "Yes, and I
still am devoted to your interests, Miss
Lucy."
"That is good. We know few peo-
ple here, and now I must go to meet
Ellen."
'You are
going to meet—her—
now?"
"Yes."
"Well, ask her, Miss I/uey, to step
in and get the watch herself, and
don't tell ber who I am, you know.
Let me have my little surprise."
"Very well, I will. I am sorry I can-
not come back with her. but I have
an engagement."
Mr. Fenn, with a sudden heartiness,
grasped the slender gloved hand ex-
tended to him. "Good-by," he said
"You came in like the spring sun-
shine, Miss Lucy."
After the girl had gone Fenn sat for
some moments lost ia thought. How
many memories the girl had. stirred
within him! How like she was to that
other girl—Ellen—whom he had once
known.
With a deep sigh he turned, from
force of habit, to the watch before
him. He well remembered that disa-
greeable little monitor which had dis-
turbed so many pleasant hours! His
accustomed fingers pressed the large,
old-fashioned plate which protected
the works from dust, and there feL
into his hands a folded paper, yel-
lowed with age, which opened as. ha
reverently touched it.
There, exposed to view, was the face
of the young man who had glanced
back at him from the mirror, and with
it was a withered violet, which lightly
fluttered out. It was brown and dry,
but it preserved its freshness and
fragrance in a faithful woman's heart,
it seemed—and in one other, as he
well knew.
For a long time Mr. Fenn sat ga»
ing at these relics of a sunny past, his
hand over his eyes, his expression lit-
tle betraying the disturbance within.
Finally he shook his head sorrowfully.
"Did Fenn look like that?" ^ie
thought. "Was there ever a time when
I was really happy? I have changed
in appearance"—he smiled bitterly—
"and not for the better, but I have
also grown in charity. "What a young
fool I was! To have such happiness
within my grasp and then to scorn it
—to throw it away—because I was too
proud to demand an explanation! Ah,
well!" He roused himself and looked
up in his old, absent-minded way at a
woman who stood awaiting his atten-
tion. Her eyes were riveted upon the
paper in his hands'—she had not
glanced at Mr. Fenn's face—while his
gaze never left her countenance dur-
ing their entire interview.
"I see," she said, in low, faltering
tones, "that you have already opened
the watch my sister brought." As she
spoke the color rose in her face in the
same dear old fashion, taking away
the pressure of the years, until she
seemed a girl again in the eyes of the
man who watched her.
"Yes," he said, ge-ntly, "but do not
begrudge me my peep intio paradise,
Ellen—"
At the first sound of his voice she
had glanced incredulously up, her
knees trembling under her as she lis-
tened—-and looked.
"Edward!" she gasped. "Why, it
can't be Edward!"
"Yes," he said, reassuringly, putting
his hand over hers! as it clutched at
his desk. "Why not? We were
bound to meet some day, you know."
"Yes," she murmured, "I have al-
ways felt that if you were living 1
should see you again." Her eyes fell
under his and rested on the relics on
his desk. "But these things"—her
flush deepened—"I am sorry you ever
saw them."
"Oh, no, Ellen, not sorry, but glad.
Stay, I will show you my treasures."
As he spoke he drew forth his own
timepiece and opened the back. There,
smiling up at him, was her own face
as it had looked 20 years before, fresh
in its girlish beauty.
"All these j ears?" she asked. "Have
you never married, then, Edward?"
'"Married some one else, Ellen? You
know better—you must have known
better all the time."
"Yes," she whispered, "I knew."
"Ellen," he urged, softly, "one day,
ever so many years ago, a boy said
to you that he would never ask you
for love again. He does not, but a
man does—now. He asks you for all
that boy threw away, because he has
wanted it all his life."
"What do you mean?" she asked,
faintly.
"Nothing to frighten you, dear. I
want you to marry me still. I have
wanted you every day since we parted,
but I thought you had long ago mar-
ried—there is no use going into that.
We are not children now. How do you
feel about it, Ellen? Are you willing
to pass the rest of your life with me?"
Ellen lifted her eyes to his—eyes
that appeared young, because re-
deemed from age by the radiant light
of love within them.
"I will do just as you say," she said,
simply.
Promptly the watchmaker stepped
out from behind his desk, passed her
hand through his arm and approached
the astonished proprietor.
"I want a vacation, sir," he said. "I
haven't asked for one in many years,
but I want one now. My assistant
can do all the work we are likely to
have at this time of the year."
"I shall be glad to give it to you,
Mr. Fenn. but why have you decided
so suddenly?"
"Well, you see, sir," Fenn replied,
"this lady has just consented to be-
come my wife, and we have waited so
long for our honeymoon that we want
a proportionately long honeymoon
now."—-Chicago Tribune.

He Was Mittakcn.
The young man was telling the
}roung lady that he believed there
must be some sort of affinity between
them. And he went on to say ttiat
the other day when he was walking
up the street he felt that she was
coming up on that next car, nay, he
knew she was in that car. Sure
enough, when the car rolled by there
she sat, and not only that, but she
turned and saw him walking, A few
days afterwards the young man was
forced to make a confession to the
young lady. He had told her about
"feeling" that she was coming up in
another car on another day. He knew
that she was coming, and as the rum-
bling and roaring of t"he car grew
nearer he was more and more curious
to see if his premonition was correct.
"Well," said he, "that came right
along and I was as sure as could be
that the next instant I would turn
around and see you."
"And then?" she asked.
"And then," he went on, "that rum-
bling and roaring and bumping came
by arid—no, you weren't there. It
was a freight car full of cabbages."—

[Special Correspondence.]
As was foreshadowed in these col-
umns several weeks ago, the govern-
ment of Great Britain has been
forced, by recent events in South
Africa, to mobilize its entire reserve
and to call upon the volunteer corps of
the United Kingdom for service away
from home. Had anyone suggested
two months ago that such desperate
steps would be necessary to hold the
farmers of the two little Boer republics
in check he would have been written
down a visionary or a fool.
Surface observers forgot that the
Boers did not engage in this unfor-
tunate war for purposes of conquest,
but, as they firmly and honestly believe,
for the defense of their homes and their
liberty. A brave people actuated by
Euch motives—even though they may
be exaggerated—becomes an enemy not
to be despised in any circumstances.
And when such patriotism is supple-
mented by rare bravery, warlike skill
and a complete military equipment it is
a match for any power, no matter how
great, rich and powerful.
The British reverses at Ladysmith,
Stormberg, on the Modder river and at
Tugela ferry were not accidents. It
may be true, as some British authorities
assert, that they were due to the inef-
fectiveness of British artillery; but
even admitting this rather lame ex-
cuse each of the engagements men-
tioned proved the Boer leaders to be
more efficient generals than their Euro-
pean antagonists. In every instance
the British troops walked deliberately
most notable beiry the battle of
Kandahar, in 1SS0. He was at that
time commander of the British forces
in Afghanistan. In July he received
news of the defeat of Gen. Burrow
by the redoubtable Ayoub Khan.
Koberts at once marched to the re-
lief of Kandahar and in a campaign
of three weeks wiped out the rebel-
lious Afghan army. On his return to
England he was the lion of the day.
He°was presented with the freedom
of the city of London, thanked by
parliament and made baron of Kan-
dahar and Waterford. Later he
served in Natal and the Transvaal and
commanded the troops in the Madras
presidency from 1S81 to 1SS5, when
he was elevated to the chief command
of all the forces in India—in which
post he was succeeded by Gen. White,
who is now bottled up at Ladysmith.
Lord Roberts, familiarly known to the
rank and file as "Bobs," is 68 years
of age. He was born at Cawnpore,
India, educated at Eton and Sand-
hurst, and entered the army at 13,
going to Bengal. He served with dis-
tinction through a number of cam-
paigns in Africa and India before
achieving his great fame at Kanda-
har, and during the Sepoy mutiny
earned the Victoria cross for saving
a number of men. Since 1895 he has
been in command in Ireland, a post
next in importance to that of com-
mander in chief. His opponents—and
they are not a few—express grave
doubts as to his ability to conduct a
brilliant campaign in South Africa,
and assert that his total inexperience
with civilized fighting methods will
lead to a repetition of reverses.
Gen. Lord Kitchener, Field Marshal
Roberts' chief of staff, was made
baron of Khartoum in 1898 as a re-
ward for his services in Soudan where,
as sirdar of the Egyptian troops, he
destroyed the power of Mahdism and
its attendant evils. Gen. Kitchener,
who is now 49 years of age, entered
the army as lieutenant in 1871. Three
years later he joined the survej' of
western Palestine under Capt. Conder.

How "Woman Was Made.
A small boy in the Mission Sunday school
of Bishop Fallows' church propounded an
entirely new theory of creation last Sunday.
"Who made man?" asked the teacher, be-
ginning, as in the good old days when ortho-
doxy used catechisms.
"God," was the prompt reply.
"And how did he make him?"
"Out of dust, ma'am; nothing but dust."*
"And who made woman?"
"God made her, too, ma'am."
"How?" - .
The small boy hesitated, and then replied
cheerfully: 'He caused a deep sleep to fall
upon man and then took out his backbone
and made the woman."—Chicago Inter

TUGELA FERRY, THE SCENE OF GEN. B CILLER'S DEFEAT.
Into a strategic trap from which they
extricated themselves only after most
stubborn resistance and terrible loss.
The bravery and courage of the Brit-
ish privates and subalterns cannot be
praised too highly. Their valor was
magnificent, but, like the gallant
charge at Balaklava, it was not war.
Hundreds of noble lives were wantonly
sacrifices to the shortsightendness of
commanders who failed to take even or-
dinary precautions against ambuscades
and who conducted their campaigns
along the lines of semi-savage warfare.
One after the other of the British gen-
erals—from White down to Methuen,
;Gatacre and Buller—had to learn that
there is a vast difference between fight-
ing Indian mountaineers and savage
Arabs and standing up against a foe
who knows how to handle rapid-fire
guns and is an adept at skill and trick-
ery. The world now knows that these
generals have already sacrificed S,000
men in killed, wounded and captives to
become convinced of a fact which has
been patent for years to every war office
on the continent of Europe, but which
was denied and even ridiculed by every
British commander from Wolseley
down to the lowest general officer in
the pay of the British crown—the fact
that the Boers were fully prepared for
the struggle and had for years been
trained by European experts in the art
of modern warfare.
- Mistakes in military operations are,
and always have been, looked upon as
crimes unless, perchance, accident con-
verted defeat into victory. Gen. Bul-
ler, whose arrival at Cape Town a few
months ago was hailed with joyand pop-
ular acclaim, met the enemy—and the

In 1877 he was placed in sole com-
mand of the party which executed the

consul at Erzeroum. In 1882 he vol-
unteered for the Egyptian army, then

(From the Latest Photograph of the South
African Commander.)
loss of 1,100 men and a number of guns,
was an incident for which th& com-
mander's superiors could patch up no
satisfactory excuse, and consequently
Buller had to be sacrificed. From com-
mander in chief of all the troops in
South Africa he was reduced to u plain
corps commander; and Field Marshal
Lord Roberts designated to assume
command of the troops already in ihe
field and those jibout to be sent to Natal
and Cape Colony. To make the British
position still stronger, as far as head-
quarters is concerned, Gen. Lord Kitch-
ener, the hero o* Khartoum and con-
queror of the Soudan, was instructed to
join Lord Roberts as chief of staff.
Whether Roberts, who is one of the
bravest men in the British service,
will succeed in invading and subju-
gating the Boer republics remains to
be seen. Buller is as brave a man as
ever rode a horse; yet he made a mis-
erable failure, principally because he
had never had an opportunity to fight

Africa.)
tain communication with Gen. Gor-
don. After the catastrophe of Khar-
toum, which led to Gordon's death,
Kitcheuer returned to England, was
promoted to the rank of lieutenant
colonel and made temporary commis-
sioner at Zanzibar, in 18S3. In the
following year he was appointed gov-
ernor general of the Red Sea littoral
and commandant at Suakim. He ad-
vised the successful operations
against the dervishes in 1SS8, and waa
made a C. B. for the gallant action at
foski in 1SS9. In 18ic0 he was made
sirdar of the Egyptian army, in which
capacity he achieved his greatest tii-
umphs and victories.
By the end of January these two
commanders will have at their dis-
posal a force of 150,000 men—the flow-
er of the British army. Opposed to
them will be about 40,000 Boers, com-
manded bv Gens. Joubert, Cronje and
Schalkburger, all of them men with-
out technical training, but familiar
with every foot of ground, with every
hill and every farm house located
within the radius of mliitary opera-
tions.
At the beginning of the war it was
supposed that the Boers would be
without effective artillery, but subse-
quent events demonstrated that in-
stead of being without guns the farm,
ers were in possession of far more ef-
fective weapons than the British in-
v^lcJers- There is a bare possibility
that with all its wealth, and glory,
and power, Great Britain will evert'
tually be compelled to give up South
Africa* a contingency which would
not please the American people, be-
cause it would lead to the disintegra-
tion of the British empire, whose gov-
ernment, although guilty of many
mistakes and much cruelty, has in the
main represented the spirit of civil-
nation. The loss of South Africa by
itself would mean nothing, either to
"eland or the world at large. But
the spirit of rebellion which Boer sue-
cess would kindle in India and else-
^ ere might undermine the stability
and prosperity of many a state which
to-day seemingly stands as firm as a
