tramped hundreds Of miles northward
from their kraals on the southeast
coast of the continent to seek work In
the City of Gold. Yet, so firmly bound
are they to their tribal chiefs that
a call to arms, as in the recent Zulu
rebellion, will send them hurrying in
hot haste homeward to enroll in their
regiments. 1t is difficult to identify
in their smiling faces the descendants
of the fierce warriors who made the
Zulu name a nightmare throughout
South Africa for nearly century.
They hire their 'rickshaws from the
owners, paying at the rate of about
three shillings, or rs cents, day,
and receiving all their earnings. The
'rickshaw is in general request in 10
hannesburg, being cheap, comfortable
and just adaptable to two persons sit
ting rather closely together. Hence
it plays a leading part in bringing
about fiirtations, and is requisitioned
in dozens on moonlit nights in winter,
when the band is scheduled to play at
the Wanderers club grounds, and the
sitting heat and the dust storms are
nullified by brisk canter through the
empty streets. The Zulu 'rickshaw
boy would consider himself dishonored
in the eyes of his brethren if he did
not attire himself in garments of an
esthetic value. The specimen shown
in the illustration appears to have
combined the horns of the Evil One
with the wings of the seraphim. 1t
is probable, however, that this com
bination possesses some weird, secret
symbolism of its own, known only tC
the wearer.
Zulu as Serving Maid.
The Zulu is one of the mainstays oi
the housewife in South Africa. The
maid of the up-country Boer woman
is usually yellow Hottentot girl; but
the Zulu takes in the towns, the place
filled in Northern countries by the
serving maid. He is the housemaid
nursemaid, errand boy, good cook
| and a fair coachman. To take care oi
the baby is, however, the chief pleas
ure of his existence. When he reaches
/ this acme of confidence his life is one
series of capacious smiles. 1t is an
amusing sight to see small children
in Joubert park, carefully tricked out
in white sunbonnets and finery, at
tended by some stalwart Zulu of siz
feet and more, who, almost uncouth in
the clothes, or rather, half-clothes ot
civilization, stalks proudly along, al
most overcome by sense of his i'm
portance, wheeling the go-cart or hold
ing the tiny hand in his enormous
ebony fist.

THE GREEN BUG

This little pest has done consider
able damage to wheat In localities,
but its rayages seem now to be al
most at an end, since the university
has been propagating and sending
out small insect that destroys Mr..
Green bug very rapidly.
The little fly destroys the bug b,
deposlting on its body a tiny egs
which soon hatches out little grut
that bores into the body of Mr.
Green bug and CLUES it fast to the
stalk ofwheat.
Our University is surely paying
back to the farmer all it a cost by
its efforts in protecting The wheat
crop. Several years ago when the
wheat was about 10 be destroyed by
chintz bugs, the University come 10
the rescue and destroyed the bugs
and now the green bugs are going
down by the same agency.

Mrs. Amanda j. Jacobs, living in

Mrs Jacobs died, Tuesday morn

with her drst husband, Levi McCord
ia Aphl 90. She and Mr.. McCord
pcated at once on the farm, neal
Ufbana where she has lived ever
nnce, till the last two months dur
ag which time she and Mr.. Jacobs
ave lived in Chanute.
The remains were quietly laid
way in the Shaw cemetery, besides
nose of her first husband, Thurs
ay afternoon, the Christian preach

Jacobs had been a member of the
Christian church since young girl

1t is about time for the. railroads
of this country to call a halt on
themselves and consent to be
governed by the laws that govern
private individuals anI not seek by
political manipulation to mould the
laws il the interest of corporate
greed.
1t does seem like railroad sys.

honesty to all men as well as dis
criminat,ngly in the interest of the
few. The recent development in
the investigation by the railroad
commission of this state into the
manner in which railroad property
is returned for taxation shows the
unfairness of the companies IN this
item.
And SO the railroads want this
agitation stopped! So does the

behind with the other. Especially
with long rope the bulk of which
is cooled up in front of the buggy.
We may not know much about
farming but we know this much by
experience. The colt got excited
md started to run. The COW
stopped. The rope began to spin
out behind We felt violent tn

wound around the axle and stopped

WHY GRANT NEVER SWORE

In an article about General Grant
in the Michigan Christian Advo
cate, the writer says:
"Whlle sitting with him at the
campfire late one night, after every
one else had gone TO bed, | said to
him: General, it seems singular
chat you have gone through all the
tumble Of army service and frontier
life, and have never been provoked
into swearing. | have never heard
you utter an oath or use an lmpre
caution
" We'll, somehow or other, /
never learned to swear he replied.
When boy / seemed to have an
aversion to it, and when became a
man | saw the folly of it. l have
always noticed, too, that swearing
helps to arouse mans anger; and
when man flies into a passion, his
ad sary who keeps cool always e S
the better of him. In fact never
could see the use in swearing. !
INK it is the case with many people
who swear excessively that it is
mere habit, and that they do MOI
mean to be profane; but, to say the
| .ast, it is a great waste of time. -

WHY IS IT SO?

A gentleman who was in business
in Chsnute, eighteen years ago,
visited here, last fall. He was
driven out northeast of the city six
OF eigh; miles, out one road and
back another.
He p:narked the absence of cat
tie and hogs in any quantity and
fuc,hcT stated chat the locality had
charged but little in the eighteen
seaTf he had been absent.
Come to thiUk the matter over, he
is about right. But few new houses
and barns have been built in that
looality and the old farwps present,
as G. rule, abGut the appeat&noe they
did fifteen or twenty gears ago.
What is the reason for this? DIive
southeast in the German settlement
and new hoyses and bar0s and well
kept farms greet the eye on every
h&nd.
We notice much more stock in the
German settlement th.an IN the
other and must attribGte much Of
Iocal prosperity to this fact. The
farmer who hauls his grain to market
Instead of feeding it to stock, loses
half his profit. The farmer who re-
lies solely on the sale Of his grain
cage never prosper as the one who
markets it ia the shape of live stock.
rae former takes every thing off Of
mis- land and receives only the bare
shipping value for his grain, while.
the other receives an extra price fof
ns grain in the shape of beef ano
pork and his ground has been ferti-
lized and rendered more productive
by reason of herds. Stock cannot
ne raised without some additional
expense in the way of fencing, pre-
paraiion for water, ETC., but every
dollar judicioasly expended for this
purpose will pay four fold. The
better the stock the greater the pro
fit.
1t costs 10 more to raise and fat
ten a good hog, and really less than
a common scrub 1t costs more TO
get start in stock but it isl
money well spent.
In au early day it used to be said
mere that farmer could not stock
up with hogs for fear of a corn
failure. Surely that argument does
not hold good now. Each year,
every shipping station on our foaus
is swamped with an avalanche of
corn waiting for Shipment.
This should not be. The corn
should be fed at home, at least the
great bulk of it, and the community |
would rapidly grow in wealth, while
the face of the country would be
beautified by fine buildings and
other Improvements. We hope to
see more stock raised and less
gram shipped out, in the years to
come.
