PHILANTHROPIST’S IrouMeit I h laatrvctJn^ the American People-'tlleCtit of (Hffarent Views of the War Problem. - When the war between the English and the Boers broke out I was in­ tensely--interested. I read every­ thing 1 could find on the subject, studied up the history- of the Trans­ vaal, learned when it was first settled, got the former war down to a fine point, in fact kept reading and study­ ing until 1 knew all the whys and .wherefores of the. present war, and kpew just which -side was in the wrong, and which in the right, a fact of which, I.was aware the majority of ’the American people were densely ignorant.. True, some of them he- lived as I did, but they couldn’t give an. intelligent reason for the ••faith” that was iu them. A great many were on the wroug side alto- aether. These must be convinced of the error of. their ways, the former miist he instructed. Sii, Xstarted out upon a gratuitous, - thanklesB mission. I knew that X ought to go upon the platform, but peoplewouldn't know of my eloquence and superior wisdom, and perhaps wouldn’t come to hear me. There­ fore, f concluded that 1 could do more good to the-world and help my brethren more, by* private conversa­ tion. - True, I had written quite an extensive editorial for one of the leading papers of the country; but the editor was a conceited cuss, who ' thought be knew more about the Boei}. ,wur thau X did, and sent the manuscript back. The first fellow I approached was u short, thick, heavy-set fellow of the . bull-dog order. Just as suspected . from his obstinate appearance, he bad the wrong view of the case eutirely. I tried ray best to tell him the true State of affairs, but he wouldn’t listen to me. He said that I didn’t know what 1 was talking about—me who hid spent months studying the war problem. I told him that he was n blankety-blank idiot. He said that I was a brazen-faced liar and enforced . his remarks with his fist between my eyes. When I came too my friends had carried me home and my head was tied up in arnica. After this adventure I didn’t say anything about the Transvaal war lor several days, my first attempt at Instructing the American people al­ most discouraged me, and I was al­ most constrained Co say that the American people could become ig­ norant numskulls fur all that I caret], but finally my patriotism and love for iny fellow beings prevailed and I started out again, The next fellow I approached was a good friend of mine, who I knew wouldn’t do me bodily harm. He lisieued patiently to all that I had to tty and gave assent to all my state­ ments. I spent an hour instructing him and left him feeling that I wssja public benefactor, The next day, however. I came up, unnoticed, to where he was talking with another fellow. The fellow was just asking him what he know about the Boer war, and he replied that he didn’t know anything about it, Just then Ire caught sight of me and that look came over his face that always comes over one when he knows that he ha# hurt another’s feelings. In spite of the fact that ho had forgotten all my instructions of the day previous, 1 was willing to give him another hour of my valuable time; but ire said that he was in n hurry and couldn’t wait, His wife had sent him up town for a coup!* of pounds of ice rnd he must flurry home. Bo I left him and *>/ . prophaey mi that he will go down to the grave m ignorant * mj cat* be; knowing only those things that concern his temporal welJfcre* altogether tm- fftindfal of those gigantic problem* lh«t a rt shaking the world aroaad hint. Again my aon! aank within me *«d I frit aompistriy dhamimgsd. With thaw two M hww sw tfrw tla* hint any other’matt would have given up in dispair. Not so I, For some time post I had been pay-, ing quite serious attentions to a little blaek-luiirei), bluck-aytri, rosy cheeked dHiimel, whoXhad begun to think waa the only girl in the world, aud who I was sure was head over heels in love with nie. Bo that evening I dressed up in my best clothes, and started for her hotne,! determined after astonish­ ing her with my superior wisdom on the Boer question, to make a pro­ posal of marriage.' I called, and. found her at Inine, and after a few* preliminary remarks opened up on the war question, and.for a quarter of an hour amazed even myself with my invincible, logic. When I stopped for breath, she said that she didn’t.' care anything about the war, "aud didn’t believe men ought to fight any -1 how. 1 immediately tried to expluiu to her that there was a difference in wars; that seme were right and others wrong, and that in this war, /me side was in the right and the' other side must be whipped. She said that she didn't cure anything about a war, no matter whether right or wrong, and then commenced telling me about her poodle,dog. But, I insisted that we should cuntinuc the conversation about the war, feeling that as she was to he ray wife she ought to become in­ terested in these things.' Then she? did the most foolish thing that a girl can do, got load, and told me tiiat I could go home and stay there if I couldn’t talk about anything else but that old war. I went, aud that girl can die an old maid for all that I care. The news of a battle a few days aftewards only stirred me Up tbes more, and the next time I broached; the subject, it was to a stranger (ip town. A man whom I had never seen, and to say the least, l have no anxiety to meet again. I had merely stated my aide to him, when be told' me that I was altogether mistaken and then commenced to prove to me. I never saw a man talk so fast in my life. He talked at the rate of 500 words a minute, so fast that I couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Of course I got tired of this talk in about ten minutes and tried to get away. But ho grabbed me by the nrtn and held me there talking like sixty all the time. He refuted all my argument# and never gave me a chance to answer him. The only way I could do wu« to stand there and take it, aud let him run down, and don’t you know X bad to agree to everything that cu& said before be would atop talking or let me go. He must have been an es caped lunatic, At last, heart-sore aud weary, I poured the story of my wrongs iu the ear of my old mother. 8 be listened patiently aud then asked me to ex­ plain it to her. I did so and she said that it was grand, she never heard anything more eloquent. She de­ clared that I ought to be in Congress. She was sure that the men there never made grander speeches. She. advised me though not to give any more discourses on the war unless I was paid for it. And I have taken; her advice and the result is that have; been silent on the question ever since., People would rather spend their money for the frivolities of life than on such weighty questions.

SHALL WE HAVE A LIBRARY? On last Tuesday evening a number of the prominent citizens met. at the Mayor’s office, to take action to procure a 'Public Library fur Cedarville and Cedarville township. The purpose of the meeting was not generally known and there was not as many present as the promoters of this scherao would have liked to have seen. Neverthe­ less the meeting was a very enthusiastic one, quito a good number making stirring speeches. I t was then determined to have another public meeting next Tuesday evening, at which it is to bo hoped that every publicspirited citizen, either iu thei town or township will be, present. It is not necessary to go into any lengthy discussion to prove the great benefit a public library and rending room would be to this village. It is sufficient to say that it would bu u place where everyone could find ready access to the best books and periodicals of the world. I f we lmd such a building a great deal of the lime which is spent by some of opr youths in low resort#,, would lie spent in reading and studying standard literature. Now, it is to he hoped that the Opera House will be crowded next Tuesday evening to help to promote this excellent attempt. Let every one come, both ladies and gentlemen and let us hare an enthusiastic meeting. has been of several months duration, but has been patiently and uncom­ plainingly borne. Never vere sons and daughters more attentive and de­ voted than were these whose hearts are filled with sorrow. Every desire, so far as possible, lure been granted; wishes have been anticipated; they have contended hard with death; bnt the body was worn out and Jife de­ parted. The last words lie said to the pastor were in auswer to the question about the future. They were but three, but quite sufficient. Ho said, “I am ready.” On last Saturday at half past one o’clock, the struggle came to a close.
