told which if true, ought to induce the
Colossus" to abandon his role Of mis-

ladies' seminary near Cape Town political
feeling had been running hugh during the
recent Cape elections.

paper which contained a portrait of Mr..
tallodes- An Afrikander young LADY

This was too much for the feelings of

battle ensued, and at one time il seemed
that Dir. Rhodes would again fall into
the hands of the stone throwing party.
But the original owner was equal to the
OCCASION and. to save the situation cram
