ONE GOOD WOMAN
HE IS RELIGIOUS
with a gloomy, stern religion, which
makes han believe, as did the Coven-
anters, as much in the Old Testament
as in the New. Like all people Whose
belief in the Bible is ot that uncom-
promising kind, he is more or less sup-
eretitious, He is moral. He does not
believe in divorce laws. He marries
early in lite, and is convinced the
highest blesaing Is an abundance of
children. He is sturdily built, as a
rule, theatre to hie way of life, which
if' the same as that of hitt father and
his aneestore for many generations -
ant open-air life, with Iota of beef and
cabbage and milk. He is a good horse-
man, and a re.markable markaraan. He
understands that the man who can
shoot straight and without ex-
citement, makes nowadays, the best
soldier. He fears God and loves his
country, but cannot understand the
needr of a taxgatherer.

time the sua rises. The men are out
and about at once. The women have
plenty of work about the house. 'The
genuine old Boer farm furnishes itself
every necesaary to its occupants.
The furniture is often made by the
farmer, or he has great, unwieldy,
carved, chests and bureaus which have
come to him from his ancestors. He
can make his own shoes. His women
dress and weave Ins own sheep's wciol,
and make theirs and his clothes from
it. There is almost nothing he needs
to buy. He does not *care a rap for

sind1 a full beard is fashionable. All
he .really has to buy is terming im-
plements, and of these he prefers the
prixnitive sort, though enterprising
agents have introduced such things as
m,owing and other machinery.
During the day he works leisurely,
content Wo make a living out of the
ground. He has been seen sitting in

terprising, hustling, ilitlander, with
wonder as the foreigner worked con-
tinuously with all kinds of new -fang -
led nandaines, producing far more from

thus, shaking his head in pity and not

anti, there, by some chance, was taken
to luncheon at the home of the Eng-
lish Bishop. She could not speak Eng-
lish, but her hosts had been at the
pains to learn aomething of Dutch.
The farmer's wife was so much struck
by the neat and polite daughters of
the Bishop's wife that ahe went home
aaddened. She felt that, after all, her
swans were but ugly ducklings. For
a tang time she worried, until, one day
along came a tramp -a wallaber, with
whose appearance she was struck. He
was English, and the old lady had a
happy thought. He waa a tenderfoot,
and knew not a word of "teal," but an
interpreter was found, and the tramp
was hospitably told he was to stay
right there and teach the youngsters
E,'ngliale speech and English manners.
He protested that he could not teach
English if he did not know some Dutch
bot the old lady was obdurate, so tie
accepted the poet. Hill first appear-
ance at the table was a signal for the
mother to gather her flock and make
them watch how the amazed and un-
happy Englishman handled his knife
and fork and rso on. He stayed at the
farm a long time, and as he really
was a gentleman down on his luck,
probably earned his board. At any
rate, the simple old farmer's wife felt
her peace of mind restored when her
Win:id-rem had had ''an English educa-
tion."
So the Boer farmer and hunter per-
suee his even way, as his people have
ever done, and if what he considers
the accursed gold had never been
found, in his land, he might so pursue
ik to the end of the chapter. It is to
be feared, however, that foreign capi-
tal anal railroads and telegraphs tind
lightning -rod agents have broken up
his idyllic life forever, or, rather. win

NOT A MONEYMAKER.
He does not waut a bank account. So
he drives his slow-moving ox wagon
away on the hot and duety trek, medi-
tating on the want of faith these (lit -
lenders have, who cannot trust the fu-
ture to God and be content with to-
day.
He dines heartily at noon and sops
heartily at evening. His day hardly
differs from that of eny farrner in any
country, only, he sings at his work,
it is likely to be a psalm that he eings.
He smokes a great deal while be goes
about -a habit derived from his for-
bears in Holland. He is fortunate in
having no winter -no frost, no enow,
only the dry season, when his cattle
suffer, and the rainy season, when the
rivers and ponds are flooded.
His house anti barns are low and
roomy-ainaply furnished as to the
house rooms. The great featherbed is
usually the most rudiceable feature,
unless, perhaps he stones in little
hadmonium for his daughter t o pick
out. ihymn tunes on, of a Sunday. Juel
before the sun goes down, at a time
which varies very little all the year
round, the Boer calls his family to-
gethet and they have household pray-
ers and pious singing. No lights are
needed, Or if one is, it is an old-fashe
ioned lanthorn, or, more likely, a
rush dip, floating in a cup of home-
made tallow. Ere the daylight has
fairly gone the farmer has bolted the
deed and everybody is in bed.
He has no amusements, according to
European or American lights. Know-
ing nothing of theatrea or picture gal-
leriee, he does not want them. He
hardly ever reads anything save I be
Bible, and thnt is a secret/ duty, and
with stammering and difficulty. The
hunt is his chief eport, for big or lit-
tle game, and there ie keen rivalry in
the display of trophies. Also be has
one favorite aport of much the same
kind -the shooting matches. For this
however, he does not dress up in pic-
turesque attire; as a German doe.° for
a Schnetzenfent, but goes to• -it with
his folks in his usual drean, seeing to

South of the trestle is quite an in-
cline, on which the car rfin down nt
a very fast rate of speed. After it
ran on to the trestle fur about 10 feet
the trucks left the rails, anti then the
car continued on the tiles for about.
75 feet, when it went. off 1 be trestle
and dropped into the pond telow, over-
t urning conapletely a no upending.
When the car struck, the motor, which
weighed four tons, and t lie hen vy
trucks crushed into I:, Inerantly kill-
ing many of the passengers.
Word was quickly ant to Bridgeport
and three ambulances and a police
waggon MIR hui tied to the Ferenc. and
the injured were leken to the Bridge-
port General hospital. A number of
other conveyances wore also preened
into service to convey persona to the
hospital. Medical Examiner Cogges-
well, of St ratford, Improvised a mor-
gue in room of the Town flail at
Stratford. and in a very plod time
twenty-three bodies were laid out,
awaitinz identification.
The rallne of the accident will prob-
ably not b. known until after the eor-
rnes,s investigation, One treory ad-
vantSed is that faulty construction was
reepoinsible for the accident. Al the
point where the cars leave the read for
