Rhodes Pride in His Dutch Home

If you speak to Mir. Rhodes about his great achievements and the name he has made in the world he will certainly look bored and change the conversation; if you praise his house, however, you at once dis cover that you have struck the right note, for there is something almost womanly in the pride which he takes in his home and its belongings.
 1t was NIr. Rhodes mho made 1t the fash ion in South Africa to use Dutch furniture, and he bought up all the good specimens " hich were to be found in old Boer houses Every piece of furniture in his house is pure Dutch and antique, and he Is very careful that they are all in keeping with each other as regards their size and weight as we'll as their design. Some of the old bits of marqueterie he has secured are almost priceless, but everything at the same time is very simple.

DOM PAUL'S MILLIONS
How the Barren Transvaal Has Produced
 Riches For Kruger

Ambrose Bierce in the Examiner
 A feV years age Paul Kruger was petty official of the British government, whose suzerainty G1e then recognized ito the ex- tent of a small monthly salary. Today he is worth millions nearly all got by ex- tortion from the Uitlanders When one of these wanted a "concession'-a license to do business, or some fundamental com mercial right-he commonly got it. But commonly, too, it was observable that he had become landowner-had purchased tract Of worthless veldt from good old MT. Kruger or good old AIr. Krugers son. in-law, who had not previously been known 10 own vt. It was through such deals as thls' With otfiicals of high authority, that the ultIanders came into unwelcome pos- session or nearly all those lands, of which seven acres were required to sprout a bean. And that is tine foundation of the charya made against them of having cheated the Boers out Of all the best land in the coun- try.
 When the people of the Transyaal. who had fled from British misrule," because 1t did not include slaveholding, invoked Brit lsh mlsrule to save them from extermina- tion by the blacks, and voluntarily surren- dered their independence by way of grati- tude and continued protection, the ''reliev- ing force found not Boer in office, for there was not pound sterling in the treas- ury. Later they revolted and were again given virtual independence The Uitland- CTS, lured by promises that were not kept. settled up the country, opened the mines. built cities which they were not permitted to govern, and brought comfort and pros- perity to all Now observe the change. Last year every official In the "repubic" was Boer, and the salary list had risen from nothing to 81,216,39i sterling-more than six million dollars; about enough to give every adult male in the Boer popula- tion S2Oo a year. It is, I hope, needless to add that every adult male Boer was not invited to participate in the division.

Will Probably Double Capacity

From the Eufaula Times.
 The Eufaula cotton mills have set in mos tion the machinery for the decisive and important step for which they have been preparing for several months A meeting of the stockholders has been called for May 3, to determine the question of doubling the capacity of this successful in- stitution. Considering the extensive and valuable preparations they have made and the very excellent financial record of the mill, it can hardly Joe doubted but that the decision will be in favor of doubling. This will mean the employment of over 200 more people at one stroke dn our city, and the turning lose of that much more in wages.

Mistaken for a Minister

Cecil Rhodes and Sir Charles Warren are old friends. In the old days of the War; ren Bechuanaland expedition Rhodes was a younger and less known, but not less am- bilious man. They happened to be traveling together by post-cart-that jolting, uncom- fortable, primeval sort of conveyance which still survives in some remoter parts of South Africa. The journey occupied some days and nights, for progress in slow where there are practically no roads, and the post cart service is carried out by contract
 Every night Mir. Rhodes bored over a small pocket prayerbook, and studied it deeply and attentively. Warren asked him what he was reading. ''Well as a matter of fact, I'm reading the Thirty-nine Arti- cles,'' was the reply. You see, I'm storing them up for my degree" He was at that time alternating between diamond mining at Kimberley and putting in his time at Oxford.
 Sir Charles remarked: 'I thought you were some itinerant parson in disguise. I've been puzzling my brains every night over you and your book"
 Rhodes simply replied: My good man, why didn't you ask me before?"
