far as we could learn, while attempting to pass a wagon iu his buggy,
somewhere on the wretchedly narrow

Greenwood, Mr. Wake's rig was overturned and he himself sustained a fracture of the lefl. leg. Why more accidents do not, occur on this road is to

A VEXED QUESTION.
Tlle Spokesinan-lieview again raises
Unit muchly woriied question ai.enl
the truedeHiulinn of ihe iiitKiitntioiinl
boundary line.   It says:
"A prominent banister ot Nelson,
B.C., who visited iu lliis cily Ibis
week, slates that lhe mutter is of inure
than a little concern lo il.e people on
bis side of the line, and the general belief is Ihnt Ihe variation, on a line running east from the Pncilic c asl, is of
such a degi'cejts will place thu town of
Russland nearly Ihree miles sou lb of
the llllll parallel when once properly
established,"
Surely Ihere is a mistake here. If
lb., "prominent harrlsler of Nelson" is
quoted aright, he either has gained a
very erroneous idea of what is llle
general belief oo lllis side of Ihe line
regarding lhe question, or he is a
member of a liu.il ed bul despicable
class, who |,n gain popularity ur a
cheap notoriety, are not afraid when
visiting a country not their own lo
make rash or even uul run slaleiuents
r ,'ardlesH of consequences at lhe e. •

KBUEGER'S FAITH IN PRAYER.
This Hlory from lhe Transvaal hears
every indication of truthfulness, because, by Ihe photographs of old
Ki'ii.'ger, nnd by lhe accounts of his
iirhicveiiii-uts during lhe past year, it
is a clear case llial he does no. spend
any time in prayer without expecting
an answer. Tbe story runs ns follows:
Before lhe Transvaal was a republic
there was a famine in Ibe land, and a
parly was organized lo hunt thehnrte-
beesle. For days Ibe parly scoured
llle veldt ill vain. Then one of Ihe
Boers declared his ini.mi. u of rel'ilng
inlo lhe bush Io prny for succor, He
accordingly lefi lhe parly in company
will) a native, Some bomsnflerwards
the Boer relut'iii'd ..ml informed lhe
parly thai be hnd prayed and lu three
days' lime a very huge troop of linrle-
beeste would pass lhat way. Sure
enough, iwo days afler lhe promised
game appeared iii sight, and lhe Dutchmen made a greal haul. From that
moment the "ihiiii of prayer" hernine
lbe popular ban.. Thai was Paul
Ki'iiager, Some time afterwards the
native Who accompanied Kl'llrgi-r
staled that when Krueger entered lhe
bush be did not pray, but struck oul
