RHODES AS A POLITICIAN.

Rhodes had already entered Cape poll
tics. In the Cape Colony the voters were
sharply divided into two classes-the
English and those of the Dutch descent.
The Dutchmen, who are still strong
enough to be the predominant factor in
politics, are largely agriculturists; they
are mostly intensely narrow and diff

CECIL RHODES AT HOME.

In his home Mr.. Rhodes exercises a
generous hospitality. He usually has a
number of guests and treats them with
out ceremony. Thoughtful for their COM
fort, he does more than treat them well.
He does not awe by magrihcence and in
dulges in no display. A hundred folks in
Cape Town might show a greater display
of silver upon their tables than he, but
he believes that comfort consists in some
thing else than big cigars, costly cham
payne, many servants and sumptuous sur
roundings.
For some time after he took Groote-
schurr he would allow no woman in his
house, not even as a servant. He has
always been a woman hater, or rather

Nut Dainties Tor Special Occasions.

BOYS and girls who are SO fortunate
| as to live where nutting parties form a
| part of the pleasures of the fall sea
! son. doubtless have a large store OF
| nuts Of various kinds provided for
winter use. But not all Of them know
| that with these same nuts, rev

Of an average bov or girl, can be made
q wonderful variety of dainty and eX-
cellent sweets. They are the kind
that will be much enjoyed by the
guests who may be spending Thanks
giving or the Christmas holidays at
the farm.
If you will follow directions exactly,
YOU will have little trouble and good
results. The first will be for sugared
nuts. The best nuts to use for this are
chestnuts and hazel nuts. After max
ing once or twice of these nuts. softer
nuts, such as halves of hickory nuts,
can be tried
Prepare the nuts first. Boil the
chestnuts until tender, then with a
small sharp-pointed knife remove the
shells and dark inner skin. Heat part
of the hazel nuts and remove the
brown skin by rubbing with a coarse
cloth. Use the others with the skin
on, to make variety. Have two or
three pans we'll buttered in which to
put the sugared nuts, and couple of
forks also buttered. with which to
handle them. When these prepare
tons are completed, put on to boil two
cupfuls of graduated sugar and a cup
full of water; boil until it will hang in
threads from a spoon. add cupful of
vinegar and boil it until it hardens in
cold water and begins to change color,
lift from the stove Immediately and set
the pan in another containing boiling
water. Drop a nut in, turn it over
with the fork so the sugar will coat it
on all sides, take out and lay on the
buttered tin. Work as quickly as you
can, but do not allow yourself to get
nervous, or you will not do so well or
get along so fast When you have two
pans of nuts, give those in the first
pan a second coat.
When taking the nuts out. stir the
syrup as little as pOssible-if stirred, 1t
will grain. If it gets too thick, put it
back on the stove and melt again,
watching closely for it will burn cas-
lily now. Do not try to do large
quantity of nuts the first time.
If after the second heating you find

HOW TO GET A GENIAL DOG.
(Atchison Globe.)

A vagrant dog, particularly a cur
with seven or eight different strains of
common dog in him, is the best kind
of a dog to own. He is always smil-
ing and wagging his tail at you, and
his appreciation of little favors is only
equaleG by his appetite. A fancy dog
with a blue ribbon around his neck Is
always looking for an opportunity to
snap at children. If we kept a dog.
we would get yellow one, purchased
as a pup from negro boy.
