Drake sailed round the globe with the
gold of Spain has brought more glory
TO his country with less expense to his
Government than he. He has taken

He was born on July ), 1853, and his
father was Rev. Francis William
Rhodes, vicar of Stortford, town
about twenty-five miles from London.
His elder brother, Herbert, had a
plantation in the south OF Natal, and
in 1869 Cecil, whose lungs were too
weak for the English climate, was sent
to live with him.
1t is impossible for those who know
him now to think of him as a consump-

Natal, the boy of 10 laid his hand upon

Two years after this the history of
South Africa changed. Diamonds were
discovered on the present site Of Kim

hastened to the place where the future
empire builder laid the foundation Of
his fortune. In 1889 all the diamond

While busy with his mines Cecil
Rhodes did not neglect politics. Early

1889, he started back to Africa to open
the new lands.
There was still the unexplored region

Zulus was Lobengula. who pursued the
usual Zulu policy of DISCRIMINATING all
weaker people with whom they came

Far to the north of the land of the
Matabeles was Mashonaland, a nation
