Paul Kruger, though president of one of the world's smalleeit republics, has won great fame as one of the
shrewdest diplomats living today. It is already reported, however, that he is repenting of his rashness in joining
issues with England and entering the tribunal of; war. The defeat of the Boers at Glencoe and Elanslaagte is
enough to terrify the stout heart of the aged diplomat who has ld his people into the conflict. One of the most in
teresting monuments in the Transvaal ie the independence obelisk at Paardekraal. After the British rout at Ma
