In 1869 Cecil. whose lungs were too
weak for the English climate, was sent
to live with him.

His Early Ambition.
The story is told that, on arriving at
Natal, the boy of 16 laid his hand upon
q large map of Africa, exclaiming:
"All that my hand covers will one
day be miner
A merchant who heard him said:
That is your dream, is it?"
THAT is my dream" replied the
young man.
We'll, I'll give you ten years to
wake up" was the reply of the mer-
chant.
Two years after this the history of
South Africa changed. Diamonds We're
discovered ON the present site of KIM
berley and Rhodes, with his brother,
fastened to the place where the future
empire builder laid the foundation of
lis fortune. In 1889 all the diamond
mines We're consolidated under the
name of the De Beers Consolidated
Mines Oimited), capitalized at $19,-
100000, with Cecil Rhodes president.
Meantime Rhodes brother had died,
turning over to the former his interests
at Kimberley and Cecil himself had
found time to return to England and
graduate from Oxford
While busy with his mines Cecil
Rhodes did not neglect politics. Early
in the sos he was elected to the Cape
House of Assembly from Barkley. AZ

1889, he started back to Africa to open
the new lands.
There was still the unexplored region
of the Matabeles left. The King of the
Zulus was Lobengula, who pursued the
usual Zulu policy of exterminating all
weaker people with whom they came
in contact.and approprlating their cat
tie and wives, but they had whole
some fear of the whites.
Far to the north of the land of the
Matabeles was Mashonaland, Il nation
conquered by the Zulus, and the King
of the Iulus gave to Rhodes permis
sion to dig for gold in the land of Ma
shonaland Railroads were built and
with them came the telegraph and
mail.
The Matabele War.
Mashonaland doomed for two years,

wealth was overestlmated greatly.

African Company. Something must be
hone The gold miners were clamoring
for chance to locate claims in Mata-
beleland. Then was started the Mata-
belle war, the barbarities of which ex-

country The Matabeles gave the ex-
cuse by sending warriors TO punish

According to II lecture on Siam dellv-
cred recently in London by John Bart
lett, that country has more than its
share of priests. The population of
Siam, he said, amounted to about
10000 and curious feature was
the large preponderance of Chinese,
more especially in Bangkok. The Chi
nese practically controlled all the trade
and commerce OF the place. There
were hardly any Siamese merchants
One million of the people were In the
priesthood. lie had travelled up river
through the main territory of Siam for
n distance of $50 miles, and during the
journey 1t had been absolutely impos-
slblc TO get out Of sight of Il temple.
In each temple there were from 10 to
800 priests, supported entirely by the
people. or the 100000 priests only
100000 were actively engaged. The re-
naming 100000 were passing through
the priesthood.

that professional men have an easy

TITS an amusing mistake. The farmer
stops ut shutdown, and the laborer
works ten hours at the outside. The
average professional man works from
l. TO Ii hours day iii and day out, all
the year around, Often. ut pinch, he
will work from IL TO 20 hours for sew
cral days in succession, and he will
work when he is sick or suffering Sc
we're physical pain, something the man
ual toiler wouldn't dream of. OF course
he takes short intervals of rest, like
everybody else. The human engine

endeavor for over an hour ut stretch.
watch day laborcr, who seems to
be plodding along like Il machine and
you'll find that he really rests more
than half the time. He looks at some
well dressed doctor, lawyer, broker or
man of affairs and says to himself:
oh, you doggoned lazy rascal! If you
only had to work like me- The truth
Is that the chap he envies Is putting an
amount of concentration and continued
energy into his daily toll that would
kill the man who works with his hands
alone In less than Il week.
Il don't mean this as any reflection
on the laborcr, who Is also no doubt
doing his level best. | simply mean
that the demands ON brain production
