LAS striking proof Of the good feel

South Africa. l will mention what has
not previously been made known; that
the most urgent representations have been
made to the British government by the
most influential and most trusted or the
leaders of the Dutch people of South
Africa in favor of the maintenance Of the
largest possible garrison of British SOL
diers in South Africa.
That is a striking and remarkable fact.
Several years ago l was engaged with

Gen. Botha in a corner. If an angel

man we were trying to kill would in so
short a time be writing urgent letters
to the British government. begging and
imploring them to maintain In South
Africa the largest force of British troops
possible l would have looked upon it
as a dream.
But the fact remains that this has

WATER DRINKERS ARE DUCKS.
Mattresses in Paris Restaurant Make
Use of Word.

Special Cablegram to The Star
PARIS, November 23.-There was an
amusing scene in a boulevard restaurant
the other evening. An English family
came In, chose their table, and, after or
dering soup, debated on the next dish
AS they were doing SO one of the wait
resses called to the cashier in passing:
"Quatre canards." ("Four ducks.')
.'That is q good idea" said one of the
English party, and ordered duck and
green peas.
The waitress pointed out that there was
no duck on the bill of fare. But at that
moment another voice was heard calling:
Two ducks at table No. ~
The Englishman became angry
IF all these people can have duck he
said, why should it be refused to us?'
The waitress tried hard TO explain, but
what with excitement and absence Of
suffi Gent French her explanation was not
understood, and II not until
ench-speaking Englshman. who was
dining in the restaurant lent his help
that the apparent mystery was cleared
away. In restaurants of the ''bOuiliOn'
type customers who drink plain water
with their meals are charged a trifie eX-
ira on the bill. In restaurant jarSon
these water drinkers are knowns as
"canards." or ducks" The mattresses
had not been ordering duck for any table,
but had been telling the cashier that
there were water drinkers, to whom the
extra trif1e was to be charged.
