worked out. Only one digger went down
about 200 feet but he was stopped by the
rainy season which set in. He left about
200 tons of solid blue earth lying on the
floor and left ths country.
= After four months Barney walked over
the mine and foand a thirty-carat blue
white diamond lying right on top of the
soil which came out Of the 200 foot shaft.
With the action of water and air the
ground got pulverized. and small tor
tune was looking on Barney. He sold
the stone and peggei all the mine out
IN his name: there were several thousand
claims, worth at least 1000, 600 pounds
sterling at that time. Lot after lot he
sold out to different companies for cash
and interest. ard through this streak of
luck lie was tb, possessor of about ., 009,-
600 pounds.
Much as current interest now centers
in Barney Barnato. the multi ilionaire
magnate of the South African mining
region, more tender sentiment will be
entertained toward his beautiful wife and
their two interesting children, Primrose
and Jack.
Mrs. Bernato was born in Africa. and
she is both beautiful and charming. a
devoted wife and mother, she nevcrthe-
less finds time for such social obligations
as her position in life demands, and to
those who come within her favor she is a
most lOyable woman. The fabulous
wealth Of her husband puts within her
reach every luxury that even the fcmi-
nine mind can conceive, and she wears
the distinction which such wealth con
fers with an unostentatious grace that
makes her queen among women. 1t is
not surprising Therefore that her bus
band escapes from the exciting turmoil
of money making wherever the oppor-
tunity presents itsef, or that he is hap
piestsand appears at his best when. hav
ing cast aside the cares OF business, he

able to push him through. Not only
has Barney got Sir Edgar behind HIM,
but he also has Cecil Rhodes, prime min
lister of the Cape Colony, at his COM
mand
These two men have heaped up
tremendous fortunes through the shrewd-
ness of Barnato. There are several 9TH
ers who are similarly indie bted to him,
and who are pledged TO stand behind hi m
financially in any kaffir deal he under
takes. The combined wealth OF the
"Barnato Circle" as it Is called, is est-
mated at $1,000, QUO. 900, or more than
treble the combined wealth of the Roths-
childs.
While much has been written recently
about the money making Of Barnato.
very little has been said about his odd
personality. He i, having f2O0 900 palace
built in Piccadilly. and for the present is
living in Earl Spencer's town house. He
is little man, scarcely more than ave
feet In height, but likes to have full
length photogra phs OF himself printed.
and he always assumes a pose which
would indicate that he was very. big

One OF his Injuries is said to be a

best friends say that Barney would never
waste so much good wine he thinks too
much of it. He is fat and short-legged,
and not more than 40 years old. He
smokes three-shilllng cigars.a and is lavish
with them and his wines when ld-time
friends call to see him. but lie never lends
money. One of Barnatos sayings is:
"I'll buy any man drink, but I'll lend
no man fiver.'
There have been many stories as to
how Barnato got his start in this African
diamond mines, but the following is said
to be the correct one:
Shortly after the mines of Kim berly we're
discovered, there were about %, 900 dig

the expenses, which will amount to more
thnn million pounds sterling, they will
be invaluable to an establishment OF the
kim projected in the way OF Introducing
patrons.
When Colonel North builds his casino
and Barney Barnatu stages his play Eu-
rope will have more than little to talk
about.
There is one advantage which Colonel
North has over Barnato and that is ne
enjoys to a certain extent the friendship
of the Prince oS Wales. As one of the
moneyed powers OF the English turf. Col
onel North of late years has been thrown
considerably across the path of the prince.
But while Wales acknowledges the ex-
istenoe OF Colonel North when they meet
NJ tho race events, it is not often that the
nitrate king tgures in the social set of
the prince. BY the iudicious expendi-

aside by the colonel and zach succeeding

STIFFNESS BY THE LAKR

Come, seeker after quiet, guide
Thy footsteps here.
And moor thy troubled thought beside
This sleeping mere.
No breath the holy pause impairs;
The enchanted reed

So still is he.
What was it that the wind said ere

Was il a song he sang, some rare
Seductive lay,
Whose falling melodies have stayed
This waters wild,

Was it "a praise he whispered sent

The marvel of his peak ascends,
Before that rare

His shadow grow.
