ANECDOTES OF CECIL RHODES
The Personal Side of His Character
 Illustrated.

LondOn.-If d man is rightly to be measured by the space devoted to him in the newspapers when he dies, then, indeed. none can deny that Cecil Rhodes was great. It is not the pur- pose of this letter to discuss Rhodes s features or the story of his life. Pos terity will settle the former and the events of the latter are sufficiently well known. A few stories dealing with the personal side of his character may, however, be interesting.
 His personality seems. indeed, to have been the most striking feature of the man. Those who have written of him that he was subtle schemer. as some few have said. have been wrong. Fol the most part he seems to have been of q frank. almost unblushing nature His speeches are described as having sounded like the words Of man think ing aloud. And it is certain that ii Rhodes could only meet man or a committee personally he could talk either over.
 One of the widest spread stories of Rhodes is that which credits him with having declared that he had never met a man whom he could not buy The SlplN Is iiOl U ut IL Has US 10TH III ctl expression of his which showed his con- fidence in his own powers Of persuasion When asked now he proposed to carry his Cape to Cairo telegraph across tie Soudan, which was then under the domination of the Kha1ifa, he replied:
 ''Oh, leave that to me. I never mel the man yet that I could not come t. an agreement with. and I shall be abl5 b fix things up with the Ehalifa right enough when the time comes."
 SYMPATHY WITH THE NATIVES.
 Sympathy with the natives. Dr Jameson aAfrms. was one of Mr Rhodes's most prominent characteris- tics. He says: He likes to he with them; he is fond of them and trusts them, and they admire and trust him His favorite recreation every Sunday afternoon was to go into the De Beers native compound, where he had built q fine swimming bath, and throw shill- ings in for natives to dive for. If there is a man in South Africa who deserves the title of the black mans friend, il IS Cecil Rho6es."
 Another s ry bearing on this point tells how on day he took some friend.
