MISSIONARIES MAKE APPEAL.
want British Government to Assume
 Control in Congo.

London, Aug. 21.-Through the Sec retary of the Congo Reform Associa- lion. forty British missionaries today addressed an appeal to the Foreign Minister, Sir Edward Grey, for the British Governments immediate as- sumption of consular jurisdiction In the Congo Free State in order to protect British subjects there,
 The missionaries say they realize from their experience of the Congo judiciary that 1t is almost impossible to obtain Independent witnesses in cases which have been brought against sub jeets of Great Britain owing to the fa- cilities of the state authorities to intim-' idate witnesses.
 The appeal recognizes the serious na- ture of the charge, but points out that 1t Is supported by the republic of King Leopold's own commission.

He Was In Such q Hurry.

A man who has resided in Cairo told
this tale as an illustration OF the dill
atory ways of Arabian trades people:
"A certain gentleman ordered a
swing to be erected in his garden for
the use OF his little boy, aged six. He
waited and waited, but the swing new
er arrived. In due course of time that
boy grew up to mans estate and be-
came himself the father of little boy.
" eli his son was six years old he
remembered how his own father had
ordered q swing to be made for him.
So he called on the tradesman. who
lived at his gate, and asked him to
send up the swing that had been order
ed twenty years before. The man
agreed to do so. The little boy be-
coming impatient after three weeks,
his father called again and remon-
strated with the Arabian as to his dill
atoriness. The indignant tradesman
replied that he could not really under
take to serve any one who was in
such fearful hurry"
