OOM PAUL'S FORTUNE.
Thf Transvaal President I* Frugrtl
nn<l Economical to n Fanlt.
Form the New York Journal.
Those who are in the habit of thinking
of Mr. Kruger as a mere farmer may be
surprised to hear that he is a millionaire
at least once. How many times over that
nice round sum has accumulated in hi*
savings it Is impossible to say.
To begin with, h* ha* the handsome sal
ary as President of £7,000 z year, together
with a coffee allowance, which is sup
posed to be hi* entertaining money, of
three hundred a year. Being of a frugal
turn of mind, Mr. Kruger has for many
years past lived on his coffee money, while
out of his presidential salary and “perqui
sites” he is believed to have succeeded in
saving about £30.000 a year.
Over and above this Mr. Kruger has
many indirect sources of income. It has
been shown that he has o very large in
terest in the Netherlands Railway, while
be i* also directly concerned in the con
sumption of dynamite, as well as several
other flourishing monopolies. Mr. Kruger
owns over one hundred farms in different
parts of the Transvaal. Some are pro
ductive. other* ore not. For instance, in
the Rustenburg district many of the beet
tobacco-growing farms are his, and the
lessees pay him very handsome rents.
His gold mining farms have also brought
him in a goodly amount. A few he has
sold to the hated Uitlander capitalists;
others he retains, or hopes to retain.
Comparatively recently a farm he had
held for some years was floated into a
gold mining company, and although his
name does not appear in the list of .share
holders he received almost the whole of
the purvjha.se price in cash. It is said
that many of the Transvaal President’s
safest Investments have been made In
Holland and Germany. He is likewise re
ported* to be a heavy holder of German
consols and French rentes.
Personally, Mr. Kruger is not a generous
Individual, despite his great wealth. At
the time of the dreadful dynamite ex
plosion in Johannesburg a few years ago
the I'itlander firms subscribed a magnifi
cent total not far short of eighty thousand
pounds to alleviate the distress of the
families whose bread winners were killed
All the victims were either poor Boers,
natives or Chinamen; literally not one
Englishman suffered. Mr. Kruger was
asked for a subscription and promised
twenty-five pounds.

U very tine, but quite low-priced.
Their Chauteau Leoville is known as one
of the finest claret wines imported to the
United Slates.
Lipptnan Bros.' importations of Rhine
wines ore certainly worth the attention
of connoisseurs. They arc from the cele
brated wine grower .Martin Deutz of
Frank fort -on-lhe-Main, Germany,
His Bodenheim Rhine wine is very nice
and delicious, but low price.
His Marcobrunner Cabinet, from select

Capetown. June 13 —As there is a curi
ous sameness in the character of the
South African veldt, so there is a certain
likeness in all the fights that the Eng L-h
army has had in the present war. Ar.d
as one look.* back there is a composite
recollection which perhaps is an impres
sion of them all. To describe this Impres
sion would doubtless be quite as good as
to describe an actual occurrence, for it
might be one of several.
And what is it like? How dee* it im
press one whose business is not lighting,
but merely that of recording what he
sees or hears?
In the firs* place, a battle i c wholly
different from anything one has ima.i..el
or gothered from pictures or reading. It
is utterly and absolutely v- id of grand ur
or of glamor; it has a work-a-day aspert,
the modern battle, and yet It produs a
strange sensation of unreality. Bo let t:s
take an all-day fight which may l>o one c 2
any of the seven or eight that f have
seer, while with the western column.
The evening before rumors are rife. Th*'
general's light burns late. It is w ispend
about that fighting will begin at dayr r ak,
but exactly where is uncertain. Tne 80-rs
are the ones who have won the to s, they
are so mobile and can charge front so
quickly, their positions are 60 well hid
den: and. alas, the scouting of the Eng
lish is usually so miserable that the only
fact known is that the enemy are in
front.
The camp stirs at early dawn; it is
afoot quicker than usual, perhaps; theie;

is no bugle call, the men awake in their
blankets, shake themselves and m > e
about; there is a rattle of accoutrements;
little fires are lit, and the early coffee
is brewed. It and tea art? Tommy’s righ:-
ing draughts. There Is no sign • f hush-d
expectancy or nervousness; the privates
joke and talk and laugh, they -qua abau*
the little fires, feeding them with bi s of
bush and brushwood. It seems like any
other day save for the galloping ovi rlie*
from headquarters, who. clattering here
and there, change from one regiment to
another. Lumbering batter! s of artillery
move out through the camp .lines. Roll

Fore aril!
Thrre is a line of kopjes rolling In suc
cession down to the bush dotted banks
of a river. The Boers are there. But in
the spreading morning light these k i>-
jes look as innocent as any of the hun
dreds of other mighty hutnmo ks that
have been passed In safety. There is
no fluttering flag to mark the enemy's
position, there arc no bristling guns, no
line of earthworks, nothing but the hare
rocky hills rising out of the grey green
plain. Off to the left and right siretch
ihe lines of men in khaki, they do not
look like the spruce soldiers one secs at
Aldershot or swaggering down Picadilly.
Their uniforms are weather stained the
heavy helmets are dented and battered:
their trousers are in rents, thetr boots in -
some eases are held together with strps
of cloth or leather th ir faces a;e hord
ed and burnt red br> nxe with tin sun.
But on they go from irft to rieht and for

with each xompatu mar h-s the riper,
carrying his pipes, and arm-d with noth
ing, but a long Scottish knife
You turn and look back, behind the
last tramping line. Here come the am
bulances, making the only bit of color in
the whole picture with their great flut
tering red cross flags. They draw up In
a little hollow in the rear, where they
wait for the loads that will soon be
'* irs. You can see the dostore and
, th ir assistants stretching an awning so
i they can do their work in the shade.
: There is a halt, and the dun colored
: ranks sink down in tlie grass. The men
aght their pipes; two or three take out
s raps of newspapers and begin to read.
Th y are already at work on the water
1 *ottl‘:s, although they cannot yet be
thirsty.
An otlDer standing with a group of
others passes a silver cigarett case. They
laugh and talk It migh be a field day.
Vou begin to think that perhaps, after
a l. the kopjes that are lined up ahead
j are empty. Perhaps they know it.
Little Dot* on the Plain.
But suddenly little dots appear down
; on the plain. I always look at those dots
with wonder and admiration. They may
be Lancers, they may be Hussars or
mounted Infantry. If they are Colonials
perhaps, so much the better. But, who
ever they are, they are the feel-rs of the
righting force, the advance pilots as it
were who tell of dangers ahead and shoals
to be avoided.
They move to right* and left; surely' the
i kopjes must be empty, for the dots are
almost in the dark blue shadows at the
toot. Suddenly they halt, they scamper
to and fro and halt again. A tiny speck
comes charging out from among them to
ward the waiting lines. You find it with
your field glasses. It is a riderless horse.
Farther down toward the river is an
other—perhaps there are several, and now
he docs like men are all coming back.
Some are on foot; some are leading their
steeds by the bridle.
The talking along; the hillside is stopped.
Everybody is looking a r the kopjes now’.
Listen your closest and you will hc/.r
weak little cougning repons, spa*TnodL
; barks; those are the Mausers. The Doers
i are there!
A few r sharp orders and the men lurch
| out of the grass; the lines are formed.
It Is yet two miles or more o the dark
blue shadows, but the air is so cUar that
they .-e<m scarcely a thousand yards
away.
Down upon the plain gallops a battery
iof arr.ilery, the men lashing ard the
r.orses =:ret- hing out. They seem regard-
of any heaps and furrows, they
..urge through a gap in the wire, fencing
and swerve round wirh a flourish a quar
ter of a mile or so further on. The men
jump from their limbers, it seems hard’y
. nr. instant, and there comes a sharp
; clanging report, and then a sixring. hiss
ing roar in a defined diminuendo.
Heavy Firing Begin*,
A little ball of smoke suddenly jumps
out of the sky over the black kopje.
' “What ho! She bumps!” cried a Tommy.
"Too short,” snys someone, and now
there comes another report, and then
another. You soon get used to them.
But on the left and center the khaki men
are moving, the skiimishers aieout ahead,
tramping steadily on at equal distances,
rid behind them fo low the grayish yel
low lines, waving and undulating. They
s*-em to b end into the color of the ground
ui 1 it is hard to follow them without the
use of the glasses. They disappear over
a rise in the plain not before observed.
A little knot of men press forward by
thems- Ives behind the others. They carry
no arms, but bear ominous looking brown
invas rods on their shoulders.
It Is not the time lo philosophise, but
somehow the qtiemion. "What is the use
of it id?" flashes into your mind. Why
should the men on the kopje want to kill
the other men advancing? What should
the men on the plain want to make holes
In the men on the kopje for? It is past all
reasoning, perhaps, but, strange to say,
there does not appear to be anything hor
rible In It. It has all been done In such
a casual manner. It looks quite harmless.
It has not os yet the contagious excite
ment of a fire, or a football game. It Is a
bli unreal and Ineffective as a spectacle.
You move closer down. As you start
forward, except for the regular discharge
of the battery guns, the day might be like j
any other. The tame little ground birds
hop ahout close to your feet, a startled
springbok leaps and bounds over the
veldt. The sky is clear and blue. It is
growing very hot. You look at your
watch and are surprised to And that folks
at home are generally In bed l Una biu,j
Suddenly off the front there breaks out a
noioe.
It begins with a few muffled explosions ;
like the first bursting of firecracker? in j
a barrel, then a roar of them. The whole j
pack is off. There comes a whizzing j
buzzing noise overhead; one of the strays
of the battlefield has passed you. A lit
tle thump and something strikes the
ground near by with a spiteful little kick
up of dust. At the sfme time there comes
a larger noise from the direction of the
kopje, and a sound like that of a small
planing mill whirling through the air. A
muffled report, and a red cloud rises near
where the battery of horse* are standing.
“So they've got a gun. too.” you think.
Yes. two of them, or three, perhaps, for
more screeches and more red spurts fol
low. The battery of horse does not move,
the drivers sit apparently unconcerned and
the men at the guns jump hither and
thither at their work. The little puffs of
smoke still rise in the air ir. front.
Marked for a Holiday.
But It is Fourth of July in front, and
you perceive that the little hollow into
which the infantry ha3 disappeared is
a good place to go. As you mark the
rise, the huhble bubble grows clearer—
a man 1* walking towards you. his coat
is hanging loose over his shoulder. Ills
arm is tied up in a white bandage, it has
red spots on it. May be the man is smok
ing a pipe. “How’s it going on up there?’’
you ask. “Oh, very* good. sir. The Buffs
ie well in front.” (It might be any other
regiment, but the answer would be the
same.)
This wounded man doesn’t to care
much. He'd stay and chat with you if
you liked. He's quite pleased with him
self. Perhaps he has visions of the three
weeks’ holiday at Wynberg down in the
colony, where they feed men on jellies ar.d
give them flowers, and where well-inten
tioned young iadiee speak freely without
introductions.
At any rate, there doesn't seem to be
anything frightful about it. So you wish
him good luck and go on toward the knoll.
(Of course, I am taking it for granted
that your curiosity ie not yet satisfied.)
It is, perhaps, here that you get the first
shock, as it were, for you suddenly come
upon the dressing station, pitched amidst
a little siuit in the rocks. There are two
score of men sitting or lying about, the
doctors are operating in the center. Some
men stand up, others lie down to it. The
doctor works like a seam serf's* fitting
on a gown; he tries to seeing how much he
can do in a minute in order that his cus
tomers shall not be kep< waiting. There
is no complaining. It is all very* business
like; there is no tossing about, groaning,
no praying, although near by lie several
still figures covered up in brown blankets
with their hob-nailed boots protruding or,
perhaps, only with a handkerchief or a
helmet covering their faces. Names and
numbers will be posted in the war office
to-morrow, end people will come and look
a: them and go way.
The bearers with the Red Crose ban
dages on their arms bring in more bur
dens. One of the burdens is an officer. He
is badly hurt. The men grouped aho.it
whisper. The surgeon greets him by
name. The man on the stretcher smiles
at him faintly.
“Going to send me down the line, old
chap? ’ he asks. The doctor makes r.o re
ply. He’s busy bending aver him. The
officer is going a longer Journey thin
“down the line;” you can see that at a
glance. The doctor whispers to him. He
nods his hea<|.
How Eay to Get in the Row.
You may feel as if you w'ere intruding;
a desire comes to you to see what all the
row is about over the crest of the hill.
And it is strange now quickly you get
into it. It increases in clearness with ev
ery 6tep you take; row it is like the jolt
ing of a wagon, and now like the sound
of a boy running down the side of a
stretch of palings with a stick. You can
see the fighting men. Some are quite clo?
to others on so far ahead that you
wofidCr how they got there, and they
are still moving forward. On, on, on,
they go!
They are on the foot of the kopje,
away off from the left a little band has
almost gained the crest —the row* is awful
there—but there is no smoke, no enemy,
nothing but invisible, death-deo.bng
sounds.
The men laugh and talk; some imes
they grunt, fall down, and lie limp mid
dles in the grass.
Suddenly an officer comes gall -ping
back. He is the first mounted men you
have seen for a time.
“The So-and-sos have turned the
flank,” he shouts. “The cavalry are work
ing up from behind. We’ve got them on
the run!” Then off he goes to look for a
general, where the red flag waves on the
hill.
A lull follows, preceded by a few drop
ping obstinate sound n? shots. Every
one moves forward. Looking hack you
can pee the water cans with th Ir tug
ging mules, and far beyond the dark line
cf the transport. So you climb the hill
with the rest, and many limp figures are
there.
A few unkempt, bearded farmers,
some gray, some hardly more than boys,
lie here along the crest. If they are
alive, they glar> at you at first. The
soldiers stand about anl lock at them
with curiosity, while others knH beside
them and offer water bott-es. Behind the
rocks in the well concealed trenches are
shining pile.* of ammunition. Pencil-lik*
mausers, clumsy Martinis, and, alas,
deadly explosive missils that the Tom
mies pick up and curse. Tt is over—all
but the recovering, for shouting there is
none.
Where has the day gon Where are
the guns, and where rest cf the
unkempt, bearded ones? Cleared, van
ished, made c-ff with the guns that they
had laboriously drawm up lo the top of
the kopje.
They are back some seven or
eight miles in another line. Seme may
be watching now from river bank.
Asa Tommy facetiously remarked.
“They are not dead, but gone b-fore.”
And this is what a battle is like, and
not one battle, but many in South
Africa There Is a meaning there, here
are things that have caused one much
wonder and ail these I leave out of the
telling James Barnes.
SUPERIOR MERIT,
Remarkable Curntire Properties of
a Remedy for Indi&entlon noil
Stomaeli Weakness.
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets, a | repara t on
for the cure of dyspepsia and the various
forms of indigestion and stomach tr u I?,
owes its great success as a cire for these
troubles to the fact that it Is prepared for
disease and weakness of the stomach and
digestive organs only, and is- net r com
mended or advised for any other di-ease.
It is not a cure-all, but for any stoma h
trouble it is undoubtedly the safest most
sensible remedy that can be advised with
the prospect of a permanent cure. It is
prepared in tablet form, pleasant to taste,
composed of vegetable ar.d fruit essences
pure pepsin and Golden Seal, every one
of which act effectively In digesting ihe
food eaten, thereby resting and invigorat
ing the weak stomach; rest Is nature's
cure for any disease, but you cannot rest
the stomach unless you put into it some
thing that will do its work or assist In
the digestion of food.
That is exactly what Smart's Dyspep
sia Tablets do. one grain of the dig sti e
principle contained In them will digest
3,000 grains of meat, eggs or cimi'ar
wholesome foods, they will digest the food
whether the stomach Is in working order
or not, thereby nourishing the body and
resting the stomach at ihe same time and
rest and nourishment is nature's cure for
any weakness.
In persons run down in flesh and appe
tite these tabieis build up the atr ngth
and increase fleeh. because they digest
flesh-forming food which the weak stom
ach cannot do, they increase the flow of
gaetrlc Juice and prevent fermentation,
acidity and eour, watery risings
