for One Hundred Thousand Dollars.
In the doorway of an Episcopal
church in Evanston a girl in short
dresses turned her back upon her faith
er, who had gone there to meet her
with presents of Ef ster lilies for her
and candy for his little son. Taking
the little brother by the hand, the girl
turned coldly and drew him away from
their father. From this episode, enact
ed in view of church-goers in Evanston

a woMAN's INGENUITY.

a At a certain well-known hostelry in
this town there occurred very anus
ing incident this week, when the usual
terrapin a la Maryland was supplanted
by an innocent looking lemon pie. An
order was heard given to the bellboy by
q feminine voice emanating from the
reception room to secure her lemon
pie at once, as she wanted it for a sick
man Soon the boy returned, apologize
ing that there We're only two in the ho-
tel and they must be reserved for
guests and menu orders With a scorn-
full look she brushed by the bellboy and
summoned the head waiter, where even
earnest persuasion and silver-lined or
atory failed to secure the coveted lemon
pie Finally a happy inspiration seized
her. '.How many slices in a pie?' she
blandly inquired. Six, madam"
Inen," shriekins again in the car-
trumpet, "come on; I'll go into the din
ing-room and order slice after slice un-
til I've gotten that whole pie, for have
it l WILL And ten minutes later this
amused page looked across to the table,
where the two women sat surrounded
by six slices of lemon pie which were
being hastily tied up into the ineVita-
BILE shopping Woman's package and car
ried triumphantly forth to the sick man.

Called "E1Eir Group" and One
of xlc l-lcncS, Men in

Now that Cecil Rhodes is gone the
attention of those political students
and spectators who are following the
course of affairs in South Africa is
naturally directed to the man upon
whom will devulVe the burden of car
rying out many of the enterprises left
unfinished by the dead dictator. For
Alfred Belt, the physically insignili-
cant son of a Hamburg jew, the secre-
tive capitalist of BiShopgate street,
the mining king of Kimberley and the
Rand, is the central figure in the syn
Gi'ate in whose hands now rests the
management of the Rhodes interests.
Some men say that Alfred Belt is the
richest man in the world, but lhat is
probably an eNaggeration, although il
the South African war results in an
early settlement advantageous To the
British he will esume his money maxi
ing upon a.scale which will probably
double and even treble. within a few
years his present cuuservatiyely esti-
mated fortune Of $l30.0J0,00O.
1t is coincidence worth noting that
Belt was born in the same year as
Cecil Rhodes. He was well educated.
for his father WAS man of means. if
not of refinement. who undcrs tuod that
the education denied TO himself might
be of ines timablr value to his son.

He made money at Kimberley in

perfect his great cons solidatiOn scheme,
which placed the Kimberley mine own

the diamond merchants of the world.
When Rhodes. Belt and the late Bar
ney Rarnato became life governors,
under the original charter of the DE
Beers company, they little thought
that the provision securing them a
fourth part of the profits after a diyi-
dend of 80 per cent had been paid TO
the shareholders would prove in itself
a source of enormous revenue. In the
decade Immediately preceding the lioer
