greedily. Soon, one of the cubs began
to bat his companion over the head

had now seized the other fellow, for he
hopped up and down, staggered around

FEW SETTLE IN SOUTH AFRICA
The Expected Rush of Emigration to
the New British Colony Does
Not Materialfze

There is a decided lack of public in
terest in the settlement and develop
ment of South Africa. The publicati ion
of a number of tentative schemes, Of
fetal and otherwise: has not resulted
thus far in any rush of emigrants. In
fact, the United States embassy seems
to have supplied the foreign Office with
large proportion of the applicants
for South African passes, many Ameri-
cans having registered applications.
None, however, could properly be
classed as smigrants. .-
The pro-Boers are quite gleeful at
the apparent fulfillment of their
prophecies that the wages of the
whites would be lower under the Brit
ish than under the Boer regime. The
always acute problem of working the
mines is now more difficult than ever.
1t is said that the supply Of workmen
is 100000 short of the demand The
; ~kafrs, like the Filipinos, are strong
ly disinclined to settle down to steady
work after the comparatively large
pay and easy life of army employment.
The lack of agriculturalists is equally
marked. - ~

Plucky American Woman Resents an

Mrs. Margaret Sidney, a beautiful
and athletic young matron from

band, who evidently had been belated
beyond expectation. Seeing the lady
alone man who was dining at the

Mrs. Sidney called waiter and or

walters intervention rather loudly,
went smiling in a superior way to the
American woman's table. and said:
"Now, dear girl, don't be foolish"

Chicago Workmen Take Steps 70

Committee Reports in Favor of.Pur-
chasing 5000 Acres OF Land in
Wisconsin, to Be Used n Y
Z Resort for Union Men. 81

The workingmfen of Chicago are to
have q summer home of 5000 acres in
the vicinity of Marinette, Wis. The
movers in>the plan are henderson, the
machinists' union Of that city, which
sent a committee recently to Mari
nette to look.at the Land, which is
owned by the Chicago Milwaukee d
St. Paul road. The committee was
pleased with the tract and returned
home to report. . . @ f.
The members said they were: the
agents of so others who had organized
a cooperative. plan whereby every
workingman in Chicago and other cit
les, if they will, can have a sharein the
new home. The charter members will
pay $40 and after members will pay SIS.
1t is the plan to have a place where
workingmen can spend their summers
at less cost than in the city.
Arthur Roebuck, of Marinette, who
acted as agent for the property, was in
Milwaukee the other day, and said he
had heard from the company that the
recommendation of the committee
would be accepted. An application for
charter, it is stated, will be filed in a
few days at Springfield.
1t is the intention, after time,
to divide up the larger part of the tract
into farms, to be apportioned among
the stockholders, although the orig
inal plan Of maintaining the summer
home will not be abandoned. The

paid for the land Mr. Robeck did not

SIS Some data regarding mortgage
loans to small land olders under gov
5Sernment supervision has been for
swarded to Judge Henry c. Ide, secre-
5tary Of finance il the Philippine is
lands, Ian by Charles "A. Conant, who was
, an 7 the Philippines last summer for the
purpose Of studying coinage and
banking conditions there Mr.. Conant
says it seems that mortgage loans un-
der government guaranty are success
ful vi even under the conditions existing
in Turkey, and that Lord Cromer is
preparing to extend the system in
Egypt. The National Bank of Egypt
has already made loans of about $2,-
3OOO,0OO of this character, but as it is a
commercial bank is indisposed to lock
up further capital in this form of Sc
cual.r:ity. A new bank is therefore in
process of formation to engage ex-
clusively in small mortgage and agri-
cultural loans The government is to
guarantee dividends of three per cent.
on on the capital and is to employ the
public tax gatherers if necessary, to
collect the interest on loans. Mr..
Conant said the other day:
II know that some means of aiding
the farmers is a subject very close to
the heart of. Gov. Taft and Judge Ide
There is already Spanish law in the
philippines permitting the creation of
mortgage 7 banks, but it apparently
needs the support and active initiative
OF the government to put a plan of
relief for the small farmers in prac-
tlcal operation. Gov. Taft and his as
sociates have so many problems before
them that it will probably be some
time before they will be able to take
this up, but it will be greatly for the
benefit. Of the Filipinos when they are
able to borrow enough to equip them
selves with the best seed and with nod
