6 AN ARTIST OF THE WAR. AK INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH MR. MORTTMER-MENPES. 1 Battlra Are ‘•Played o*”—Goad Storied About Rhodes, Hec tor Mnol onu Ift. Hutljwrd Kiplius, and Others. From the London News. With the instinct for actuality which is supposed to he possessed by the journal ist alone. Mr Menpes, the well-known painter, started for the battlefields of South Africa on a portrait painting expe dition. He arrived at the front in the nick of time. The fortunes of war had just begun to incline our way. He was at Paardoberg and Poplars Grove; he en tered Klmberle-y on the heels of French; accompanied Pole-Carew and the Guards Brigade on Lord Roberts* famous march to Bloemfontein; saw lots of fighting wont round to have a look at Ladysmith, and got sittings from Sir Alfred Milner, 'the busiest man in Africa,” on his way home. Here he is, in his wonderful Ja panese house in Cadogan Gardens, with hundreds of sketches of all sorts in his studio, upon which he is now at work for an autumn exhibition which should draw the town. What strike® one in listening to this enterprising artist’s stories of his adventures is the agreeable complaisance of his distinguished sitters, and the time they were good enough to give him amid the thundering? of the battlefields. “Well, what is a battle like, Mr Met pes?” I asked the painter. “Disappoint ing; one man and a puff of smoke. The pictures in London of shells bursting and nand-to-hand fighting are very fine; but. well, never mind, from the painter’s point of view the battle is played out.” The painter, nevertheless, gave me a most ex iting verbal picture of the rear-guard action which the flying Boers fought at Poplars Grove. After ttae affair at Paard eberg, French, with the cavalry, pursued the flying Boers, and was almost success ful in oatching Kruger and Stevn. The action was watched on the top of a high kopje by Lord Roberts. Lord Kitchener. Sir Hector Macdonald, wlnh the staff Our painter had also secured a good place, and hance got some fine impressions. He says it was one of the prettiest sights imaginable, to see first French circling around the Foers. and then the Boers circling around French. “The finest thing I ever sow. - ’ said that fine soldier. Macdonald. “The Boers are splendid.” Then he described how “Bobs" was the eooleat man on the kopje, the only sign of excitement he showed being the scratching of the quick of one finger with the tip of another. Lord Kitchener had a cigarette in his mouth, which he chewed nervously between his clenrhed teeth, but never smoked, for it was out. All the time the telegraph was kicking, men were dashing hither and thither, and the naval 1.7 was banging away at the foot of the kopje. How the time sped they knew by the sounding of the bell which the blue jackets had improvised on a tripod of boughs. In the middle of the kopje was the sp’endid telescope which the Lord Mayor sent to the front. It was in requi sition every moment by someone, and gave a fine view of friend and enemy. “Bobs” nnl Hls Portrait. At the front they all call it a “one-man show.’’ “Bobs ’ is the man. Nevertheless, he pave Mr. Menpes several sittings. “I must apo’ogize for my intrusion when th> whole world is looking at you, my lord.’’ said the painter when he was marched into the Commander-In-Chief’s room at B'oemfontein—Mr. Steyn's cld apartment —and was confronted with the little man —“all steel, lithe, every nerve palpitating wl*h life, at his aspe!” “Not at all,” re plied “Bobs;” “It’s a privilege you’re con ferring ' What a kindly gentleman he must be, this man of war. Kindly, court eous, considerate While the painter was at work thev chatted about various things. The talk got back to Paardeberg, ard Mr. Menpee happened to say that he hid iiaintfd Cronje. “And Mrs. Cronje?” asked Lord Rober a, simply. “No, no.’’ an*w’er®d the painter, smiling; “Mrs. Cronje did not lend herself to decorative treatment.” “Ah,” returned Roberts; ‘I don’t think the prettiest woman in the wo r ld would aft r r three days in those tranches!’’ T*he comedy of war Ls well il lustrated by this little aside. In the m'd d’e of the sitting Lord Kitchener came in with a scout, ho‘. covered with dust and dirt, and almost panting for breath. Kitchener took Roberts aside, and while they were talking in low. hurried tones, the scout stood at attention by the side of a marble Venus on a pedestal. Despite the awful pres nee of the two great men, the 7 ady fascinated him. and even while Rchers henring his very important rows do what he would, th* comer of the eye nearest Venus would turn that way. However, Lord Roberts was too en grossed to notice it. or goodness knows what the consequences would have be?n. Mr. Rhodes I.lkes Wart* nnd All. When the artist be?ged Mr. Rhodes to sit © him (Long Tom hnd only just giv-n In—the city had only Just be*n relieved) be said: “Oh. I don’t mind, but full fac e —full face No profiles! I am a pa n. blurrt man. and I like to look people full in the face. That man Ftl-dos.” (such i fame! Fancy pronouncing the distinguish ed Academician’s name as a dissyllable,) “now. began a portrait of me In profile— wanted to show one side of my face. Das tardly, I call it 1 say thru no henest min ever Fat for a side face.” Whether thl- bears bardly on the profiles in exist ence I am ur.eware. All T can say is that Mr. Rhodes, like the other' strong man. want 5 * warts and all. and I like him for it. As for Fildes* portrait, I presume it was never finished. Mr. Meiue* was a little frigh’ened by this outburst, but he soon got on fairly easy term® with the dictator, who asked Ms o. inion of his face from a painter's point of view. Mr. Menpca had already made up his mind what the “note” was, and said at once; “I am surprised 1 y its boyi*hne& ” “Ah, that's 1,” returned Mr. Rhodes. “Boyishness—dreamer. Yfs, yes. that’s what I am—a dreamer—imagina tive. romantic.” Ttmn some thought crossed his bram. he touched the bell, and, like a streak of lightning, a secretary ap peared :”€k>-and-fco when will tho c e ten thousand trees lie de’ivered?” “In six weeks’ time. Mr. Rhodes.” “Thev must be here in two weeks. Put two thousand more men on the job at <m~e.” So dd Monte Cr*sto talk to hi-* people The e you have Mr. Rhodes full face—the dr*am or and th*- shrewd man of action in on •. and each In profile. Mr. Menis full of sfortes he heard about Rhodes worship. The bitterest pro- Boer cannot but have r sneaking regard for a man who is the subject o-f this little pretty tale: “Oh, Mr. Rhodes,” sighed u poor feUtlw down with enteric; “oh. what ■would I 46*vo for a drop of milk!” (then ■woWh £5 a drop.) "Umph!” replied Mr. Rhode*, in hi# grim, gruff way, “Umph!” and he w*mt nwy umpiling. The next day tie cam© again, and after a few words slouched out. and nervously left a tiny medicine bottle on the corner of the table. “Oh, I do love Mr. Rhode*.” said the sick man. “See what he’s brought me—lt’s milk.” And so it was—value unknown. Long Tom nnd the IlnirdreMMer. When Mr. Menpes was busy in Kimber ley he used to go and get shaved at a barber’s adjacent to the club. This bar ber told him an amusing story, which il lustrates the moral effect of Long Tom admirably. Said the barber, busy with his razor: "Well, it’s like this (in reply to questions) “when the small gims were firing into the towm and the bullets came thJi way, my customers used all to fly under the counter there, and left me standing with my razor. But when Tom began business—well, I used to go with mty customers, too. Tom was a regular terror.” ’‘Fighting Mac** and the Sweet*. Mr. Menpes was also successful in &e- curing sittings from these two redoubta < ble warriors, though both of them were f very shy of the palette. They would rather face a Boer any day. ’ French was ex tremely nervous under the ordeal, and at : one or two points he even ran away and ! hid himself behind a newspaper. “The shyest sitter I ever had,” exclaimed painter, “but charming.” The famous cavalry General wa.s highly amused at the fancy pictures of him which reached him from London town. Sir Hector was easier, and talked freely. You oan-not call him a pro-Boor, but they have no keener admirer of their fighting qualities. What 6iruck Mr. Menpes about this self-made General was his dislike of luxury. When all the officers were enjoying the compar ative luxury of Bloemfontein, he stuck to his tent outside. H* \ referred to rough it on the ground. He gave Mr goo 1 illustration of the enormous difficulties of the intelligence deprTTKn? durirg the war. “I’ll to-ll you what it is,” said he,' in his soldierly way. “I trust nobody' in Bloemfontein—rot men—cerTa-inly not wo men. The children are the only saf* draws. What I do is to stuff my pockets full of sweets, go out for a walk, and talk to ; ihe children. Th**y tell yen the!r , papas have gone.’’ Then he went on to ; compare fighting in South Africa w.th fighting in the Soudan. In the Soudan it ' wa.s child’s play—easy country—no enemy. J Hete a fearful country and a brilliant enemy. “New, hew far do you think that 1 kopje is off?”—pointing to a hillock whidh ! appeared quite close, but which was really some miles off. Mr. M< npes was aware of the denrp'ive nature of the country, and said so. ’Well,” continued Sir Hector, “you would think it was an easy thing for me to take my brigade there, wouldn t you? And it looks flat country between us. doesn’t it? Yet ten thousand Poers could conceal themselves in ih?t wavy plain.’’ “But war is too horrible.” exclaimed Mr. Monpes. “I shall never forget the march to Bloemfontein with Gen. Pole- Carew. rightly railed ihe handsomest man in the aimy. 1 shall fnrgit hia kind ness to me. The sight of the dying hor.-es and mu'es which we wf re compel'e-d to i leave behind will never be ob’Lerated j from my memory. They would 1 ok up at j you wiih their pathetic eyes as much as j to say. “Oh, do ki 1 mr; don’t have me to the vultures.’ They were wheeling round and round th*n. hut there wasn’t even time to cut their poor throats.” \ Iwinquet on the Veldt. Mr. Menpes describes the difficulties of locomotion with much humor, and now that he is back egain to the dinners of his own crook, and those at the fashiona ble restaurants of the capital, he looks bark with a melancholy pleasure at his experiences. A man who lunches on a <larte, a banana, and a glass of water a> horrv\ though, is really almost case-hard ened Nrvertheb as, a biscuit and a quar ter'. a spoonful or two of bouilli, a few beastly meat lozenges, and tinned com pounds gvt me. Sometimes, by way of a treat, he dined with some general in a captured Boer wigon, with biscuit tins for seats, and the floor for a table. Even then the menu was not de luxe-a drop of soup, no bread, one biscuit, a slice of hard meat, a grain pudding, and a tas’e of whisky and water. Then there was the going home in the dark. On one of these festive occasions Mr. Menpes had to cross the Modder after midnight, his own cart bring over the water. The pontoon was soon on the way. but—bob. bob. thud—a dead Boer in a frock coat had banged into them. A few yards more —thud, thud—more dead Boers What dreams the belated reveller must have had! “Ah,” he exclaimed, “how well I remember secreting two potatoes about my person—and eating ihttn by stealth to prevent envy.” When he was painting Mr. Rhodes, they discussed art and gardening. Mr. Menpes had visited his gardens at Cape Town, and the first question Mr. Rhodes asked was how they looked. Mr. Menpes oongra tula ted him on the artistic way in w’hich he had grouped his flowers in great clusters, and amused him by con trasting this big way of gardening with the bock garden of poor London subur bia. It is not surprising to hear that a man who thinks in continents should complain that his wild beasts in his com pound at the Cape are skimped for room to room in. “They w'ant acres,” he cried —"acres—and n marble platform to walk on. You can’t see ’em now’.” Then he went on to describe the Siege Avenue which Is being put in hand to commem orate the sdge of Kimberley. It is to be a mile long; there wdll be room for four in-hands to drive through it; it will be mainly an avenue of vines, which will form an arched vault of grateful shade, on either side will be rows of pepper trees, orange trees, and eucalyptus, the ’est on the outside to protect its tenderer comrades. In the center will rise a beautiful monument of marble columns, each holding a sphinx. The only ques tion which perturbed Mr. Rhodes was w’hether the clustered columns should be roofed or open to the winds of heaven. Time will settle it. But it will be a big thing, be sure, when Mr. Rhodes has done with it. He has a fruit farm near Cape Town. He ordered a village to be built for the Kaffrs. It w’as built, and he come to see it. He come, he saw. he was pleased. ”1 like it,” he said. “Build an other.” That was nil. Rhodes and Kipling. Mr. Menr°s tells a good story of Rhodes nnd Kipling. Rhodes was showing Kip ling a view from his estate, when he suddenly noticed three apple trees in the way. Without a. word he rushed to a cot rage. It was shut. The door was locked. He burst it open. He seized an ax. He out off the heads of the offenders. He re turned to the great author: “There! Now you can see- it!”—l. e.. the glorious view*. The great author said no<hing. He rushed down to the three, picked up an old rag, hung it on a bleeding stump. He returned to the side of his host. “What the—what’s the meaning of that?” said Mr. Rhodes. “For perfect beauty you must hove a blot on the landscape. That’s my blot.” “Oh!” growled Mr. Rhodes, “Oh!” And there ended his first lesson. Mr. Kipling’s head is still on. • •**••• Mr. Kipling swears that the future of South Africa depends upon the camel. Mr. Rhode** will have it that 14 is a ques tion of grass. Camel grass grass camel-ding dong the famoue pair went at it. So the story goes. HORSE* I\ FLY TIME.

But ij killed at night we never think of a tre being struck. “By the way.” he. continued, “have you ever seen a bunch of horses under tin shade of a tree fighting the flies on : hot day?

Say* flic President Made a Direct Promise and Tlroke It. From the Philadelphia Times. Washington, Aug. 4.—United States Sen ator George L. Wellington, of Maryland, Republican, has made a formal statement of his attitude in the present campaign. He says: ”1 am unalterably opposed to the re election cf Pres.d-nt tycKinley. Bryan is a better man in every way than Me Kinley, and I regard his election as es sential to the preservation of the republic. "I regard the Philadelphia platform as a grave departure from the faith of our fathers. It is not the Republicanism of Lincoln, but an indorsement of the ini rrfial policies forced upon the country by McKinley. “I am an anti-imperialist. I do not talk otip way in Congress and another way on the outside; nor do I talk one way and act another. 1 am not like old Hoar—able to appeal to the past and the future, and thtn stultify myself. I see only the pres ent. The past is gone and the future can care for itself, but I will help take care of the present. “1 am convinced there is a secret alli ance with England beyond any doubt. You remember the cry that was raised against Cleveland of subserviency to England. There was not one-quarter the ground for it that there is for the same cry against McKinley. He would not dare to do a thing that w’ould be unacceptable to Eng land, for he is nothing 'more than an English pro-consul. President lletrayecl Him. "President McKinley has betrayed me. I was opposed to the Paris peace treaty, and would never have voted for its rati fication of my own volition. I told the President so, and he induced me to vote for it by solemnly pledging me that it was not the intention of himself or the government to forcibly hold or perma nently acquire the Philippines. He fur ther said that his perosnal desire was to restore law and order in the islands and then submit the matter to Congress, with the idea of having it grant absolute free dom and self-government to the Filipinos. With that pledge from President William McKinley I voted for the treaty. Without It l never should have done so. “The resolution I offered in the Senate, and w’hich w’as the basis of my speech on the Philippine question, provided for ex actly what the President himself told me he desired to bring about. “Bryan is absolutely right on the one great issue involved in the campaign, and with the money question at rest for four years he is a bigger, a better and a safer man than McKinley. Even if the money question was not settled Bryan is n man of too much sense to undertake to tam per w’ith the currency. "Bryan is certain to be our next President, and I shall be glad to see him elected. “McKinley is totally unfit for the office of President, because he is so weak and vacillating that he cannot stick to an opinion over night. It he could know his own mind and he consistent for twenty four hours at a time he might do, but such a thing is impossible with him, and for that reason he is unfit to be Presi dent.” BOY’S FIGHT WITH A H*EIIOX. \ Plucky StrnKf&le on Both Sides, In Which the Bird Succumbed. From the New York Times. Danbury. Aug. 2.—Oliver Taylor, Jr., the 17-year-old son of a wealthy former of Ball’s Pond, killed a monster blue heron this morning after a struggle in which the bird came near besting Us captor. He was walking about h fish pond on his fa ll.® > premises when the bi/d swooped down from above and caught a flsh which was sunning itself near the surface of the water. Young Taylor, unable to resist the temp tation. picked up a stone and threw it at the bird, striking it on the breast. The t heron dropped the flsh, and wheeling with lightning-like rapidity, attacked the youth. The onslaught was so sudden that young Taylor had no opportunity to se cure a club or other weapon with which to defend himself, and he had only his hands with which to tight off the fierce rush of the bird. With claws, beak, and wings, the bird rained a shower of blows on the boy. His clothes w'ere torn by the long talons, his head was cut in many places by the horny beak, and his face and body were bruised by the wings, which the heron used with tilling effect. Striking and grasping wildly at the bird, young Tay lor at last succeeded in catching it by Up slender neck. When it felt the pressure the bird fought more fiercely, but the plucky boy squeezed with the strength of desperation, and gradually the blows of wings and claws became weaker, till the heron fell limp on the ground. Young Tnvlor did not release his hold until he was sure the bird was dead. Then he fell down on the ground beside •he body of his plucky opponent, so weakened by the conflict that he could stand no longer. When he recovered his strength he carried the bird to his hom*. a short distance away, where it was found to measure *lx feet across the wing* and over four feet In hight. Widows in < liinn. From the London Mail. The average Chinnnun has a noted aversion to widows marrying a second time. Years ago it w r as impossible for a widow to have a second husband, but al though the law of the Celestial Empire now allows widows to marry again, the oman* who thus offends custom is heid n very low esteem. Occasionally Chinese vidows marry again, in spite of public pinion, and of late years the number has rgely increased. Hut a widow’ who remains a w’idow’ is ly popular, and if her family is well -do and she suffers no inconvenience, is much better for her not to enter gain the matrimonial estate. She has abundant opportunities for gaining favor, and her works of virtue- are much appre ciated. The greatest virtue, however, is that of remaining a widow, and what ever her personal disposition, the Chinese will not hear a word against her charac ter if she conforms to custom in this re spect. Although honored in life, she is honored more in death, and some of the graves of widows excel in magnificence the tombs of the richest mandarins. %RHIVEf> THIS MGIIMVG.
