ANENT MOTHER GOOSE.

Oh, when was little boy,
With ringlets flying loose.
I loved before my finest toy
The rhymes Of Mother Goose:
And now, though my bald headed days
Have turned my whiskers white,
l read these ancient baby lays
With all the old delight.
! read them with the same old joy,
And fancy flowing free.
Unto my golden headed boy
As they were read to me.
He claps his hands and, all a whizz.
His features glow and shine,
Until the thoughts that now are his
Are those that once were mine.
Perhaps when he like me. Is old,
He'll take upon his knee
His little child with curls of gold
All floating fair and free:
And read him all these rhymes abeam
To make his spirit glad.
And for tlccting moment dream
About his dear old dad.

$4,000 lives would be sacrificed In the

army of 100000 workers. Rhodes

now being built.
Mr.. Rhodes was born July z, 1858.
He was one of seven brothers. HIS
father was a country parson, Rev.
Francis William Rhodes, at one time
vicar Of Bishop Stortford, Hertz.
The man who controlled the des-
tinies OF Africa and who has been
called the most active man In the
world. never had time to get married.
For all that he was a highly polished
man and shone In woman's society. It
may be that with wife his gigantic
plans would have sunk to the cares of
the family man and the course Of his
tory might have been changed by SO
slight cause.
When the two brothers arrived IN
Natal they first went on a cotton plan
tation. Then the rush to the diamond
fields of Colesburg kopje. now known
as Kimberley. began. and the young
men went to the mines and laid out
claims.
As miner young Rhodes swung the
pick and dabbled in the blue mud
for diamonds. In surprising short
time he won health and fortune, too
With health and strength the ideas
OF the dreamer became widened.
Wealth to him was but a means by
which to rise to higher things. But
1t was absolutely necessary.

Wonderful Career
of Cecil Rhodes

In 1871 a young Oxford undergradu-
ate, broken in health by consump-
ton, left England in charge of his
brother, with the despairing hope that
In the highlands Of Natal his life
would be prolonged.
Two years later he had been re-
stored to health. He had laid the
foundation OF a meteoric career that
has won for England the south half
of the African continent and gained a
unique place in the history of the
British empire.
Romance has been outclassed by the
life OF Cecil Rhodes. There was no
project too great for his ambition and
he firmly believed in the maxim that
"a man can get anything he wants, if
he only wants it enough" The great
struggle now going on in South Africa
Is the direct outcome OF his gigantic
plans for the overthrow of all control
save that Of England, and the weld
ing together of the Inhabitants under
the Union Jack. He lived to see the
vision almost realized.
One Of the most gigantic railway
schemes ever thought OF was the
Cape to Cairo railway, which Mr..
Rhodes determined to construct. His
wonderful powers were exerted on
Kaiser William of Germany, who,
after a conference with him, gave per-
mission to build the road over a part
of the German possessions In Africa.
No other opposition of Importance has
been met. The road is projected to
run through the interior of the CONT
nent. .s
Rivers must be leaped, swamps
drained, morasses made solid, and
mountains bored through. Hostile
tribes and deadly climates have to be

indian Prayer Sticks.

Those acquainted with Indian GUS
toms know of the prominence that
feathers hold in the religious and So
cial ceremonies of the red men. Par
ticularly among the Navajos and Pu-
eblos are these plume emblems be-
lleved to have the utmost efficacy for
good or bad.
All about any Pueblo town may be
seen carefully whitfield sticks, each
with tuft of downy feathers, general
ly white ones, bound at the top OF It.
They are prayer sticks, and are quite
as curious as the prayer wheels of
Burmah and the paper prayers OF the
Chinese The feathers. stick, and man
ner OF tying the feathers vary accord
ing to the nature Of the prayer. The
Indian who wishes to ask a favor of
the ''Trues" prepares his feather prayer
with great secrecy. Then, taking 1t
TO a proper spot, he prays to those
above. and, planting his stick. leaves
It to continue his petition.
