FREEDOM OF LONDON.
It is Conferred Upon Lord MiIner-A
lingo Crowd.

London, July 2S.-The presentation of
the freedom of the city of London to
Lord Miner of Cape Town at the Guild
hall today was made the occasion or
a. demonstration in favor of the South
African policy Of the government.
Jos. Chamberlain, the colonial secre-
tary, the Duke of Devonshire, president
of the council and other celebrated min
listers, Lord Cromes and Sir Claude Nc
Donald, formerly British minister to
China were among those on the plat
form. Lord Miner in a. speech said the
compromising of the settlement of the
South African situation by injudiciouS
concessions must not be thought of nor
should the risk of a popular rising be
run by treating deliberate and crime
stained treason as an ordinary offense.
The speaker said there is an immense
difference between the stout old
burghers of the late republics and the
rowing ruffianS" narrowing their fellow
subjects of Cape Colony. While it was
resolved to treat the old burghers, when
the war was over. with fairness and
even generosity, convincing them that
though they had lost they had not lost
their freedom, continued Lord Miner,
the 1oyalists in South Africa who had
shown such splendid devotion to the
empire and the work Of reconstruction
already going on, should not be alfeni-
ated by the government.

girl whose fathers name was Noah,
made herself q, beautiful hat from the
soft papyrus which grew in her papa 5

She distilled from the rare blossoms
Of the lotus and pigweed a quart or so
of gorgeous hued dye, into which she
dipped the papyrus hat, and made it a
thing of beauty.
Just about this time a shower came
up. Old Noah invited his daughter in
to the ark. but she preferred to stroll
up Kansas avenue and down the dim
side streets, showing her papyrus hat
to the fresh young men who stood in
front of the cigar stores and joints
It rained forty days and forty nights,

Noah looked like a wilted mushroom.
