in the slang of South Africa as L D. B.-ism.
Under this statute the ordinary presump-

his innocence in the clearest manner in
stead of the accuser having to prove his
guilt Sentences are constantly passed on
persons convicted Of this ofense ranging
from 5 to 10 years. 1t must be admitted
that this tremendous law is in thorough con-
formity with South African sentiment,
which elevates 1. D. B.-ism almost to the
level if not above the level of actual homi-
eide.

method Of doing up the hair, which has
since become prominent among people
whose hair like my own had not been al

Trying to Stand in With the King.
The king tired in few years of Madam
Pompadour and wished that he had not en-
couraged her to run away from her husband.
She, however, retained her hold upon the
blase and alcoholic monarch by her wonder
full versatility and genius.
When all her talents as an artistic and
politician palled upon his old rum soaked
brain, and ennui like mighty canker ate
away large corners of his moth eaten soul,
she would sit in the cleaning and sing to
him, "Hard Times, Hard Times, Come
Again No More, meantime accompanying
herself on the harpsichord or the sackbut or
whatever they played in those days. Then
she instituted theatricals, giving with the

thought suddenly occurred to him to re-
