Miss Bloemfonteik—The war correspon dent« at Bloemfontein publish a p*per called fat Friend. One ot the editors, fascinated by the baauty of Btoemfontein, and gulled into the belief that all the people in it were glad t«> see the |army there, addrestrd » lov« letter to the bowery little city as if it were a beautiful girl; Ha called her "Misr Bloemfonteia." He aaked her to let him look into the heavenly blue of her eyes, and huld her dimpled hand, and that sort of lover«like eeatiment. Ods Bobs 1 there came to tho office 6f the Friehd^riexb day a letter from a real Miss Bloemfontein —a pro-! Boer girl—telling him that it was a coquet te and flirt, palled Misa Uitlander, who had been looking into hia eyes and'allowing herself to be o«es«ed. She md that if he looked into the true Misi Bloemfontein's eyes he would find fcolts of lightning in their blueness, and if he sought for her hand he would find it clenched. There was no doubt of the genuineness of the writei'a position ia society, or of her sentiments* Bub a grotesque thing was that she who spoke up for the Boers was a Jewess, and the man who wrote as a conquering; bu« l')Ve-':orn, Briton was an American.
