work. without the least worry or fuss.
The private secretary introduced me, and
Mr.. Chamberlain was extremely cordial.
II is commonly supposed by those who have
not met him that his manner is brusque
and cold; but, as a fact, there is no public
man more courteous. He has a distinct per-
sonal charm. and at times he displays an
almost pathetic eagerness to please. This
was shown at the outset CT our talk.
will you have a cigarF" he asked.
"They' are from your own colony, and you
will agree with me that the Jamaica cigars
are the best in the world
1t was impossible to keep fro-" Wonder
ing whether he kept other boxes in his
desk filed with Trichinopoly cheroots for
visitors from Ceylon and Borneo cigars for
the men from Borneo.
Let me Introduce you to the earl OF
Onslow," he proceeded. I'VE try to look
after the colonies as well as we can to-
gether."
The contrast between the two men was
remarkable. Mr.. Chamberlain's face was
alive with eager, intense intelligence.
None OF his photographs does him Justice.
He looks like a man who is pure brain,
without an ounce of the animal, and he is
much better looking than he is represented
to be. Al drst sight he seems not more
than As, but a little scrutiny reveals that
hiA let black hair is dyed and that in other
ways art has repaired the ravages Of time.
He is precise about his personal appear
ance and appeared on this occasion as II
he had just been turned out of q bandbox.
Lord onslow, on the other hand, was
slovenly dressed. His get-up was more
like a petty shopkeeper's than a states
mans. His face was heavy and gloomy, his
expression dull, his conversation feeble and
in-informed. Yet he had governed great
British colonies and held the post of under
secretary of state for the colonies.
AS we talked, Mr.. Chamberlain showed a
marvellous knowledge OF the petty local af-
fairs Of the West Indies. With the enorm-
Gus strain Of the South African war on his
shoulders. he had yet found time to study
the latest developments of their intricate
parochial politics.
Lord onslow could not conceal his ad-
miration.
"'Pon my word, Chamberlain" he said,
you seem to know everything about every
colony there Is. How do you manage it?'
at is simple enough, onslow.'' was the
quiet reply. II only know what one in my
position ought to know. One works, that's
all. Don't you ever read Dispatcher
Presently Lord Onslow was moved to en-
ulation and began to make suggestions on
his own account. We were talking about a
new subsidized steamship service, and he
urged that the vessels should be sent to a
certain town in Jamaica.
at is an excellent idea. my dear onslow,"
said Mr.. Chamberlain, with a s~atirical smile.
1.-THE only objection Is that the steamers
would have to sail overland to get there"
His lordship collapsed and said no more
throughout the interview. s
1 told Mr.. Chamberlain that the British
colonies In the West Indies were falling
more and more every year under the com
mercial sway of the United States, alike as
regarded imports and exports.
There is nothing the matter with that"

|9k berlain. Yet there is no Eng
- glishman less known. Here are
two gllmpses Of Mr.. Chamberlain's person.
Rlity and character, which show the man as
be really is-not as he is painted by his
Enthusiastic friends and by his bitter foes.
? One foggy November morning In 1901 /
met Mr.. Chamberlain at the Colonial Office
in London. ! had just arrived from tho
West Indies, and he sent for me because
he desired certain information regarding
the political and commercial conditions Of
chose islands which I happened to be In q
position to give him.
3 The newsboys in the streets we're selling
Especial extras" like wlldhre. The name
of Chamberlain doomed big on their plac-
ards; It was on the lips Of every passerby.
Two nights before he had made a speech
which caused bad blood between Germany
and Englani. Count Won Buelow had Just
made a bitter reply. and everybody was
wondering whether Mr.. Chamberlain would
return to the attack in another speech
that evening. Engiand-Europe even-had
not been so excited for months.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Chamberlain was quietly
sitting In his room at the Colonial once
discussing with an insignificant c~olonist
such details as the depth of water in the
smaller harbors Of jamaica and the best
way to tax the jamaican peasant. You
would have thought that he had never heard
of Germany or Count Won Buelow. T. 20
As we talked a private secretary, bear
eng a telegram. entered the room and said-
'Mr. Balfour has wired, sir, asking you
60 TAX his place at the meeting tonight.
He Is indisposed and cannot speak. He
kuggests that you should reply to the Ger
man chancellor. ~
Tell him l am sorry, but II is lmpossi-
pie" Mr.. Chamberlain answered. 81 am
busy this morning with this gentleman
from jamaica, and cannot prepare anything.
Tonight l have to see a gentleman from
Ceylon."
: Gould you not postpone that?" the Sec
Rotary v~entured to suggest.
b Impossible said Mr.. Chamberlain,
hharply. HE has come thousands Of miles
20 see me, and, in my case, colonial bust
mess takes precedence Of everything else.''
Herein lies the secret of Mr.. Chamber
Hams power. He never spares himself
trouble, he goes to the roots Of things, and
he is not moved a hairs breadth by the
wind OF popular clamor. Europe may
shrek II It cares to. but he goes right on,
unrufied. with his days work.
Mr.. Chamberlain received me in a large,
Observation-Disclosures room. hung with
portraits Of former colonial ministers. I'm
bike the ofnces OF most British cabinet
ministers, II was absolutely destitute Of
official papers or any signs Of work. Mr..
Chamberl0in does not burden himself with
the work Of a secretary, like many politi-
plans. He sits down comfortably in an
easy chair. with a cigar, thinks for a mo-
ment. gives a few sketchy orders to an
Amanuensls-and the thing is done. It
may BIO a new constitution for South Africa
or the appointment of a prison warden In

Argansas lcgisIa-
ture on account of the new game law
enacted by the recent general assem-
bly,. The Sportsman says:
The solons of Arkansas passed a
law at the recent session which bids
fair to prove a serious handicap to
the sportsmen of ST. Louis and Mis-
souri, Hundreds of gentlemen in Mis-
souri, have invested money in swamp
land in Arkansas for the purpose of
assuring few days sport annually.
The mossback legislators of Missou.
ri's southern neighbor have seen fit
today that non-residents of their state
shall be prohibited flom hunting or
fishing in the future. and already one
st. LOuisan has been fined for daring
to cast a line into one of the lakes
in the swamp region. The Sportsman
is in favor of game protective legis-
lation but believes remedial measures
should be logical, and to prohibit
sportsmen who have spent large sums
of money in constructing club ouses
and assisting in the protection and de-
velopment of game, without notice
Of any kind, is worthy of the dark
ages and is disgrace to the legisla-
tCrs who allowed the measure to be-
come law. Game protection is a
necessity; prohibition of the kind
adopted by Arkansas is a disgrace
to present day civilization and un-
worthy the endors ement of Ameri-
cans The land of the free! In plu-
toclatic Europe any gentleman has
the right to shoot and hunt anywhere.
provided he secures the permission
of the owners of the property. Even
this provision is denied in democrat
ic Arkansas!
The Sportsman is rather drastic in
its comments, but there is more truth
tnan fiction in what it says. There
are non-residents who own thousands
of ac.es of swamp lands in Arkan-
sas. and it is doubtful if law which
prohibits them from fishing and hunt
irg on their own premises will be up
held by the courts as constitutional
1t was silly piece of legislation.
