MR.. kRUGER's BIRTHDAY.
r rormer President Of the TransvaaI
Republic Seventy-Eight.

Paris, Oct. 10.-How swiftly even
the most famous Of men pass from the
public mind when they are no longer
In the limelight is evidenced by the
TACT that very few if. anyone noticed
the anniversary today Of Mr.. Kruger
former president Of the Transvaal
republic, whereas the same occasion
but one or two years ago was marked
by public demonstrations and a food
OF congratulatory messages. Mr..
Kruger was born Oct. 10, 1925, and
consequently this is his seventy-eight
birthday. He is living very quietly at
his villa in the south Of France. For
while his place was the Mecca for
Boer leaders and for Frenchmen ana
others who desired to show their SYM
pathy for Engiands fallen enemy,
but Of late Mr.. kruger has received
very few callers. He has never fully
recovered from the shock of his wife's
dea,h and the most of his time is
spent in reading the Bible and in
reVerie.

N stOTy snthity, the fOet.
The poet Shelley called one afternoon
upon Mrs. Southey and was offered a
cup of tea, which he accepted Then
plate of tea cakes was handed him,
but these he declined.
A slice of bread might have been
welcome to the Spartan youth, but hot
tea cakes, heaped up in scandalous
profusion, blushing with currants,
shocked him. He watched Southey,
who was hungry and liked tea cakes,
clearing his plate with evident enjoy
ment, and at last said:
why, SOuthey, | am ashamed of
you, 1t is awful to see such man as
you greedily devouring this nasty
stuff"
Mrs, Southey listened in angry amaze
ment.
What right have you, Mr.. Shelley,
to call my tea cakes, which l made
myself, nasty? You ought TO be
ashamed of YOURSELF"
Mr.. Shelley Immediately took up a
cake and, finding it good, began to eat
as greedily as Southey himself.
Mrs. Southey was pacified and prom
ised the recipe to the poet, who de-
clared that he intended to have hot
tea cakes every evening forever"
