A nndlr Timed nnth.

In his biography of Cecil Rhodes, Howard Hensman tells the following story: Rhodes, it seems, then premier of Cape Colony, was to open an ex- tension of the Cape Town Suburban railway, and many conspicuous per sonages were present on the occasion. After a luncheon at Cape Town the brilliant company adjourned to the shore, where the railway station was located
 Everything was In readiness for the opening ceremony. when suddenly it was noticed that the central figure, Rhodes, was missing There was some little consternation at this, and messen- gers were sent In all directions Co find him. Presently the prime minister was espied calmly enjoying a bath in the blue waters, totally obllvlous of the fact that he was keeping every one waiting. At length the situation seem ed to dawn upon him, and, hastily get ting into his clothes, with the sea wa- ter dripping from his hair, he declared the line open for traffic, maintaining the while perfectly serious and com posed face"

 The stage drew up before the Empire hotel. Five minutes later Whacker Bill stumbled up to the bar and asked husklly for his usual drink.

 They shook hands on the deal. and whacker Bm went down for another drink The Rev. John Rollins had a letter to write. It was addressed to a struggling young lawyer in an eastern city. and it wound up as follows;
 "So I send you the trophies of my lrst victory. likewise the first use l have ever had of my geometrical studies. Hang the souvenirs in your den along with the check you receive for your first case. You ought to have a falrlsh collection if all the old crowd contribute, scattered, as we are, from Dan to Beersheba.
