ORIGIN or The so6Rs.
They LEFT France Ia 1883 and settled Id
Cape Colony.

It IL extremely Interesting, says Mr..
Ganthony In The Sketch, To inquire ms %
who and what the Beers really are and
whence comes this heroic and stubborn de-
tense Of their rights which has exalted
these South African agriculturists in the
eyes OF the world. After the revocation of
the edict II Nantes by Louis XIV num-
bers OF Huxuenots. In 1883, left France and
settled In Cape Colony under the Dutch
who then had possession Of IL, which gov
eminent at that time denied the very priv
neges TO the Huguenots that their de-
scendants and those Of the Dutch have un-
til recently denied the Johannesburgers
which has led to this unfortunate revolt
against the government OF the Transvaal,
as In the eighteenth century 10 led to the
French exodus from Cape Colony. Two
centuries ago. when the Huguenots In
Cape Colony presented petition TO the
government for electoral rights, Van der
Stell was enraged and dismissed them
with severe reprimand "to restrain their
French impertinences, which had IA par
allel I'm Pretoria lately, when some reason
able appeal for representation by the nit
landers was received with jeers" by the
members Of the raadzaal.
In 1909 the use Of French in addressing
the government on official matters was
publicly forbidden. In 1724 the church
service in French was permitted for the
last time, and some 20 years after the ar
rival of the Huguenots i'm South Africa
their children ceased to speak French en-
tirely. When the settlers could no longer
endure the tyranny Of the Dutch, they
"trekked," or tracked, into the interior
and 1t Is therefore quite rs likely that tn,
Dutch speaking Frenchmen are more en-
titled to be called the owners of the Trans
vaal than the Dutch themselves-that is
II we consider, as civilized nations do, tina
the original native has no territorial right
whatsoever. II the original Huguenot

The Way 1t Acted.

A tailor named Sam Smith from n
country place visited N large wholesale
warehouse and ordered quantity OF
goods. He was politely received, and one
of the principals showed him over the es-
tablishment. On reaching the fourth floor
the customer saw speaking tube on the
wall, the first he had ever seen.
"What is that!' he asked
"Oh, that Is speaking tube 1t is a
great convenience. We can talk with it to
the clerks on the first floor without taking
the trouble Of going down stairs"
"Can they hear anything that you say
through itp'
"Ycs, and they can reply"
"You don't say so. May 1 talk through
ir'
Certainly"
The visitor put his mouth to the tube
and asked:
"Are Sam Smiths goods packed yet''
The people in the office supposed 1t was
the salesman who had asked the question,
and in moment the distinct reply camO
back:
"No. We are waiting for telegram
from his town. He looks like q slippery
