the of forces beat the Brit ish in armed conflict and feels confident of doing so again but wise ones even those whose loyalty to the Boer cannot be questioned their heads sadly Conditions have changed greatly since dispute between the British and the Boers is a simple one The Boers have a rich country the British want it and are trying as they have been trying for years to get possession of it All the Boers is to be let alone in the enjoyment of their own They no hostile demonstrations save when their homes and liberty and poverty are threatened Efforts have been made to goad them into some over act of hostility that would afford an excuse for crushing them but these have been unavailing The Boer is slow and phlegmatic but he is no fool- He fights only when it is necessary to repel

battle Time and again the angry beast clawed but his courage and strength never failed him Like a bulldog he held his grip upon the panthers throat until he strangled the beast to death Kroger was badly lacerated Blood flowed from many wounds but his injuries he carried his faint ing sister home This exploit made him the hero of the sturdy Boers in that section It was the first indica tion of the late powers that dwelt in the coming ruler of the Transvaal From boyhood hated English a hatred which only in creased with years His boast was that some day he would raise an army to fight the
