Lord Miners Expensive Bath.

Some of the unfortunate happenings
in South Africa were caused by the
failure of officials in high places to
note warning conditions which were
obvious to people occupying less eX-
allied points of view.
Some time before the war was de-
clared there was a water famine in
Johannesburg. The city fairly gasped
with thirst.
The citizens had other grievances,
and 1t was decided to invite Lord Mil
ner to Johannesburg, and lay matters
before him. The first morning after
his arrival he amazed the hotel at
tendants by ordering a bath. Bathing
was luxury which even the rich were
denied at the time. Poor people had to
go unwashed. while the wealthy dipped
dalntily into basins filed with import
ed English soda water at two shillings
a bottle.
But Lord Miners orders could not
be ignored.
Fill the tub with soda water!" ex-
claimed the proprietor
So Lord Miner splashed, all uncon-
scious of the drought and panic his
additions had brought uIon the rest of
the establishment.
Later that day, among the grievances
submitted to him was the woeful scar
city of water.
Scarcity of water?" he repeated
i've observed no scarcity. gentlemen:

reached Valecia, Porto Cabello, and
La Gqayara. The revolutionary gen.
