_Wh_<=f\ he vis la London air English' ftwllfl Ollifred to show him the sights of the modern Babylon. Oom Paul fell in with the idea, and the Britain gathered him in to see a ballet show, thinking to get some fun out of his shocked feelings, 1 ut Oom Paul satalid watched the whole show with evident interest.

“What do you think of the girls; nice and fresh, ain’t they?" said the Britain,- with a sly wink at the old patria ch, H "The paints fresh enough. don`t

doubt," came the reply, through a cloud of smoke; “but I’d rather have the old shoes of the one I left behind _in Africa than I'd have all the women you've got in England, on the stage or oil" it. She was good enough for me when she was young, and she`s good enough for me now.

Travelling once with a party of wealthy

speculators in a. spar§e]y_-populated por. tion of the Transvaal,lit was discovered that by some untoward chance the hamp- ers containing the food had gone astray. They were all so hunge-ry that some of them were ready to eat a horse, if need be, provided it was some other person`s horse. One godless `money hu'nter tried to be blasphemously humurous _at Oom Paul’s expense. “You are a great be- liever in the Bible and all it’s miracles, Oom Paul," he said, with a curling lip. “I am, and always shall be,” was the quiet response. “Well, then, seeing that ravens took food to Elijah in the Wilder, ness, why don`t God send some to me by the crows? I`d have heaps of faith af- terwards if He did, old man." Kruger looked the seoffer full in the eyes for the best part of a minute, then he said: "Be- cause Elijah was a prophet with amis- sion in life. You are only a fool with an app e, and if God sends the crows to youiéi, they will probably come to feed themselves, not you.”

At one time he was very fond of riding

on horseback, as nearly all Boers are. Once when out for a ride he met an old womanhobbling along with a bundle. She looked atthe strapping young fellow whistfully, as if she envied him his com- fortable seat on the saddle. He passed her, then looking over his shoulder not- iced that the old dame hung her head wearily as she plodded along behind him. He reined up his horse, jumped' down, and without ceremony lifted the old woman, bundle and all, into his saddle. Then, taking the horse by_the bridle, led the animal carefully onwards towards his own farm. Just before arriving there theold woman said: “May G05 be 8'°0d to you for your kindness to one so old and helpless. There are not many who would do as you have done. If I had been young and comely, as I once was, I could then understand it.” “If you had been young and comely I should not have daredtodo it,” said he, witlijusta suspicion _

riflgughter in his hard-set eyes. _‘if-Not

he has been at Johannesburg in the same interest-the hal f-castes being called ‘colored` to distinguish the-:n from the blacks, and who are the product of Boer and Kaflir relationships-a most intelli- gent people, susceptible to the utmost ad- vance, but cruelly treated as the natives __ are treated by the Boers. ‘ Mr. Phillips drew a sketch of the'typiia` Boer. He lives in a country which is ` larger than France. He is scattered up and down-a mere handful. He likes to be alone, He hates the smoke of his neighbors chimney. He read the Old Testament, and regards himself as belong- I ing to a. chosen race. Allother races are inferior. The blacks are Canaanites, and have the mark upon theirforehead. They are little better than animals, and the Boers will seriously debate whether they have souls. The Boers understand two races-white and black. He will`not have the “colored” race, as a. distinct element, and he loves to' accord to the superior type-his own offspring, in fact-the same cruel treatment which he always mates out to the blacks. He is, then, isolated- living a dull life. His children are nothing but father, mother and the blacks. He is bound. in the opinion of Mr. Phillips, to became degenerate. His moral sense be- comes blunted. He has no contact with other people to give him enlarged views. He is narrow, intolerant. He goes to _ church sometimes four times a year;more generally once. His minister visits him about once a year, w hich the ecclesiasti-

cal law calls for. The ninth article in the

constitution provides that there shall never be equality ` between the white and black ,race‘, either in the family, the church, or the state.

The Boer hates the English largely be-
