“Grand Old Man" of South Africa.

Paul Krueger, the “grand old man” of the South Africaq Republic, is a third term president. He was elected to the five-year term in 1883, and was re-elected in 1888 and 1894. It has been largely owing to his sagacity and courage that the Boers have been able to combat British influence in their affairs. The celebration of President Kruegei’s seventieth birthday at Pretoria on October 10 was made a national fete day.
