storekeepers diamonds in payment for
goods bought. Moreover, 1t was an
established custom for natives coming
from any outside places to present to
the chief (Magato) on return some of
the minerals or parts of the minerals
which were unearthed by their labor;
and as each would secrete at least five
or six diamonds for the king, and as
this process had been going on for
years, it Is not inconceivable that the
statement that Magato had at one time
a bucketful may be correct. So far
the theory has merely demonstrated
the possession Of the diamonds. AS to
the date Of their being hidden, of
how they were hidden and possibly
where-here is the connection with the
hidden treasure which has started the
various expeditions on their earnest
search. Just before his death Magato,
who hated his nephew, Mpefu, and the
heir to the chieftainship, and who hoped
to see one Of his indunas installed in
stead, determined, at any rate, not to
leave him any riches. So when he felt
that his death was near he sent for
four of his indunas, and addressing
them solemnly on their duty and 10y
atty to himself, requested them to d.
vide the diamonds into parcels and
take them far away and bury them In
some wilderness. This they promised
to do, and the diamonds having been
distributed among them, two indunas
set out for Matabeleland and the 9TH
er two trekked toward the Selati, in
the direction in which the remains Of
the murdered man Van Neikerk were
subsequently found.
The facts leaked out in one way or
another after Magato's death, and
there must be many Of Magato's peo-
pie, as we'll as few persons who know
these details-perhaps even there are
some traders in Zoutpansberg today
who may remember two Of Magato's
indunas going on special mission to-
ward the location of Majiji, the mys-
terious "she king" as the Kaffirs term
ed her.-Chicago Tribune.

WHAT CAN'T BE CURED

A man never knows how badly he
wants Life Insurance until he has been
rejected once or twice. You may be In
a physical condition today that will en-
able you to pass a successful exami-
nation and get any kind of policy you
may apply for, whereas in less than six
months you may be In such a condition
that no respectable, honorable physi-
clan would examine you for life insur-
ance, much less pass or recommend you
as a desirable risk. During my four
teen years experience in the life In
surance business I have personally
(face to face) urged a number Of men
who were apparently good risks to ap-
ply for insurance, but who said mot
now, but at some other time I think I
will take out some insurance" and have
In several instances written their ap-
plications later on and had them re-
jected. It is no trouble to induce the
n an who has been once rejected by
respectable company to sign an appli-
cation. II you are in good health,

AN AFRICAN ADVENTURE.
Paul du ChaiIIu's First Encounter With
a Monster Gorilla.

In his Explorations and Adventures
In Equatorial Africa" Paul du Chaillu
tells of his first encounter with a go
rilla.
I'VE saw an immense one coming
straight toward us out Of the woods,
he wrote. LAS he came he gave vent
to terrible howls of rage, as much as
to saw I am tired of being pursued
and will face you.
1T was a lone male, the kind which
Il always the most ferocious. This fel-
low made the woods resound with his
roar, which is an awful sound. resem-
bling the muttering Of distant thunder.
He was about twenty yards Off when
we first saw him. I was about to take
aim and bring him down where ne
stood when my most trusted man, Ma
laonen, stopped me, saying In whls-
per, mot time yet
I'VE stood in silence, gun in hand.
The gorilla looked at us for a minute
or so, then beat his breast with MS
gigantic arms-and what arms he hao!
then gave another howl of defiance
and advanced upon us. How horrible
he looked!
mot vet whispered Malaonen.
again the gorilla made an advance
upon us. Now he was not twelve yards
off. His face was distorted with rage.
His huge teeth were ground against
each other so that we could hear the
sound. The skin of the forearm was
drawn forward and backward rapidly,
making his hair move up and down
and giving a fiendish expression to his
hideous face. Again he roared, a
sound which shook the woods like
thunder. 1t seemed as if 1 could feel
the earth trembling under my feet.
The beast looking us in the eye and
beating his breast, advanced again.
Don't fire too SOON said Malaonen.
If you don't kill him he will kill you.'
This time he came within eight
yards of US before he stopped. 1 was
breathing fast with excitement as l
watched the huge creature. Malaonen
only said, "steady!' as the gorilla came
up. When he stopped Malaonen said:
Now
And before the beast could utter the
roar for which he was opening his
mouth three musket balls were in his
body. He fell dead almost without
struggle.

NOT UNAN1MoUS.-R Representative
William Sulzer of New York was
standing in the members lobby In rapt
contemplation Of the Oil portraits of
former speakers. Speaker Cannon
came along, says the Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Inter- Ocean.
Hello, William!" he said.
How are you, Uncle Joe?' Sulzer
effervesced. Uncle Joe, you are the
best looking man I ever saw"
II am glad you think so, William
Cannon replied, without the culver of
an eyelash.
Yes, sir. You are also the smart
est and the shrewdest and the kindest
and most successful man I ever knew
WELL" observed Cannon 1T has
taken you a long time to find that
out, William. but I am glad you have
seen light at last"
"Furthermore, Uncle Joe," contin-
ued Sulzer, you are the best man l
ever knew. You are good, absolutely
good. I often wonder when 1 sit In
the house and watch you why 1t is the
angel Gabriel does not float down
through the glass roof some morning
and carry you away to the fields Of
everlasting bliss"
well William said Cannon, Il
have wondered about that myself at
times, but under the rules Of the
house of representatives such action
would require unanimous consent, and
William, somebody would be sure to
object"
