Last winter Nine. Patti was staying
for a few days in an isolated village at
the extreme end Of Yorkshire. To kill
the monotony Of the place the prima dom
ma went one night to a concert given in
aid Of a certain village institution. Not
half Of the performers turned up.
Approaching the difficulty, Nine. Patti
-incognito Of course-ofered to oblige
the audience with q song or two.
Then she sang In her own glorious way
three Of her sweetest ballads.
At the close the chairman approached
and in solemn tones thanked her.
"Well, miss" said he, you've done un-
common well, and, although AIRY Ock,
the juggler, who thinks nowt Of takin'
old OF 'ot pokers and a-swallerin' nee
dies, couldn't turn up, yet you've pleased

strength Of an Alpine glacier. This un-
paralleled multiplication of intelligence
will either make or break US. Every
morning and evening our telegraph Of

news of the nation and Of the whole
world, and men write to some purpose
when they make n pen out Of q thunder

and perseverance for a man TO be ignorant

Dealings Were Professional and Many
Influences Contributed to Depression.
London, October 2o.-The stock exchange

South African situation
