reached a hotel If they wanted to stay they had to sleep in the open, for the huts were only large enough for Mir. Rhodes himself Later on he built a ho- tel about three miles distant in order that he might have a place to entertain such guests as he chose This hotel is now used by the visitors as a lunching place on their way to the tomb.
 I am told that MT. Rhodes would go off and spend days by himself in the Matopos hills He would take books along and camp out. At one time he wandered up to the place where his re- mains now lie and got lost. It was some time before native appeared and showed him the way out. In describ- ing the place to the Matabe eles he was told that the hill on which he was lost was known among them as the "moun tain of the friendly spirit"
 The Rhodes Geological Park.
 Leaving the farm we passed through the great park and gardens which MT. Rhodes left in his will as a resort for the people of Bulawayo. They lie be- tween the farm and the hills and com prise a part of the latter. The park covers 1S,000 acres, and there are 15 miles of roads through it, all planted with avenues of quick growing trees.
  are cultivated here; and there is also large nursery devoted to the devel- opment of the forest.
 The geological garden is inside fence four miles long. It includes every kind of animal that will live in Africa, with the exception of the beats of prey such as lions and leopards. There are giraffes, antelopes, elands and zebras everywhere to be seen. The ani- mals are not afraid, for no shooting is allowed in the vicinity, and they are permitted to live as far as possible in a state of nature.
 The Matopos Hills.
 I wish I could describe for you these mighty hills which Cecil Rhodes Nch ose as his last resting place. They are nothing like any range l have seen elsewhere. They rise up out of the African veldt In the shape of great masses of granite, ground smooth oy the glaciers of a million odd years ago.

ourselves in the heart of a big farm es- tablished by Cecil J. Rhodes. He bought up nearly all the land between BulaWayo and tho Matopos hills, including a strsr 20 or 30 miles long, embracing number of rich valleys, or, rather, depressions iu the hills He built a dam holding mil lion gallons of water to irrigate part os this tract, and so arranged the lands about this that they form one of the paying parts of his estate There is tenant in charge of them who keeps 700 acres in crops oflvarious kinds, and l understand that he is now raising two crops of corn year. In addition there are tens of thou sands Of acres of pasture and part or this is now devoted to ostriches, part to cattle and other parts to game. There are even wild ostriches on the property but, ty Rhodes decrees, no shooting can be cone upon it.
 How Rhodes Lived.
 This farm was one of the favorite homes of the great white African king; and during my trip I had a chance to see the palace which formed his home upon it. The word palace is ironical. Cecil J. Rhodes, although he was worth millions, was more fond of the simple life than Wagner himself. One of his residences was the government house at Bulawayo, which had every comfort that money could buy but his favorite home was native hut. He had such hut outside the government house, and often left the latter to sleep under the thatch.
 Out here on the farm he had three huts and in these he spent weeks and months at a time. One hut was his bedroom, and another his kitchen and the third might be called his drawing or living room. They are all still standing His living room is open on all sides. and consists of merely a thatched roof up- held by posts covering space about to feet square. Its walls consist of screens of mating which may be rolled up and down to shut out the wind. When Ce- cl Rhodes was here they were usually up, and as the hut stand upon hill he had a magnificent view on all sides. He could look over the rich valleys in one direction and away off at the other see these mighty hills among which he loved to wander and where he directed his resting place should be-. Right under the hill there is an orchard of peaches, pears, apples and apricots now in bearing, which was set out under Mr. Rhodes direction, and looking over the valley one now sees the rich fields of corn which his imagination planned.
 A Lover of Solitude.
 I am told that Cecil Rhodes liked to be alone. While at the government house came here to the farm those who wished to see him had to drive IS miles out and then IS miles back before they

peck measure has been cut out for the fire. The cooking Is done over thet hole the clay pots resting upon the eoals inside 1t. In a few huts iron kettles are used, but. as in the past. most of tn cooking is done in ruGe jars of clay. made by the natives. In one hut that l entered I saw green corn boiling, and in another a half naked woman was roasting locusts while her family squatted about and smacked thei lips, awaiting the feast. Very few of the huts are more than 10 feet in diameter, and some are much less.
 Dom Jaahn and Cecil J. Rhodes.
 one of the villages we visited was that of a famous native chief, who led in the rebellion which resulted in the loss or Matabeleland to the natives. This was Com Jaahn. He is now an old man, but still has d great respect for the man who conquered him. Indeed, he is so afraid or Cecil Rhodes ghost that he will not go to his grave for fear his spirit may be how ering about it. Not long ago the manager of tie Rhodes estate nere told Dom Jaah9 that he would give him a horse and new saddle and bride if he would travel over the twenty miles between here and the Matopos hills and look at the Rhodes mon ument The man replied that he did not want Cecil Rhodes to haunt him for the rest of his life, and that lie believed It was best to let dead men lie. Neverthe- less, Oom Jaahn was a famous warrior, and during his prime was much feared. He fought well, but he gradually came tO respect the English soldiers who con- ouered him. A short time ago he was asked what he thought of Cecil J. Rhodes and his troops. He replied:
 "rThose men were men,.
 After this he stopped a moment and pro- ceeded:
 .'Those men were men of men. And he concluded, 'thcir fathers were men before them."

a bed quilt, and the largest contains only four or five acres. They are plant ed to millet and Indian corn. They have no fences around them and they stand right out in the wilds.
 Cecil Rhodes gave directions that the natives should have free any of his un- used lands, and they are charged no more now than when the whole county belonged to them.
 2 Among the Matabeles.
 I shall write more of the Matabeles in the future. I had good chance to see them during this ride. Their kraals are scattered over the country and in nearly every corn patch the women were working. The hard labor of these people is done by the women. We saw many girls who were hoeing corn. They were naked to the waist and the wht.e sweat drops stood out like pearls on tn cir brown skins as they bent low and chopped out the weeds. In some of the fields there were men, but they were mostly smoking and watching tho women to keep them up to their work A few of these lords of creation were clad in cast-off European clothing, but some were absolutely nude, save for a little skin apron tied around the waist The aprons are not much big ger than a lady's handkerchief. They are made of deer or calfskin with the hair on and are quite ornamental. My chauffeur told me that the women were the wives of the watchers, and the lat ter were out in the fields to see that their ladies did not loaf on the job. Many of the Matabeles have two or three wives, and there are some trust magnates'' who have 20 or so. Women here are a sign of wealth, and the more

 In the Native kraaIs.
 We stopped now and then to visit some of the native villages, many of which are found not far from the road way. They are fair types of the thou sands which are scattered over thls country. Let me describe one. It con sists of dozen or so huts, surrounded together and looking not unlike one of the stump fences of northern New York. Inside this wall there is ar other shutting off a space in which the sheep and goats are kept at night, and outside the latter are the homes of the people. These are circular mud huts, with walls about five feet high and matched roofs which slope upward in the form of cone. Each hut has a door at the front, and this is the only way into the average home. Let us enter. The floor is plastered with cement made of native mud It is as smooth as a school boys slate, except st the center, where hole as big as 8

always here to guard Rhodes tomb. They are replaced by others from day to day, so that some are ever pres ent
 These guards say nothing to visitors but any man who would dare to cut his name upon the rocks or mutilate the place would at once be reported to the authorities at Bulawayo and punished. At first Dom Jaahn furnished the boys free of charge as a tribute to the mem ory of Rhodes after a custom that the Matabees have of guarding their noted dead After a while, however, the Rhodes estate recognized their value as a protection against iconoclasts, and since then a certain amount has been regular ly paid to the ebony watchers.

CECIL RHODES TOMB
By FRANK G. CARPENTER.

Copyright, 1908, by Frank c. Carpenter). "L LYING for 60 miles over Matabele- land in an automobile.
 4 Racing at 9 miles an hour over the veldt on roads so muddy that the wheels often spin around without catch ing.
 Dashing through streams where the water splashes high into the air, and crossing ditches where the machine goes up and down with a jump.
 Now honking by swamps, Frightening the great black and white herons which live there; now racing with antelopes over the plains, and now rushing by Matabele kraals where the natives come out and gaze at us in their half-naked wonder.
 These are some of the incidents of ride I took yesterday from here to the Matopos hills to visit the grave of Cecil Rhodes.
 Across MatabeleIand.
 The great African statesman lies buried in low mountains far off from any hu- man settlement. He selected as his tomb a formation fitted for the grave of god, and the way to it takes one for 30 miles through a fertile valley, the most of which is comprised in a great estate which MT Rhodes owned and which Is still held in his name.
 It was up in this valley we went on our way to the tomb. The country is but little different now from what it was when David Livingstone, the great Afrl- can explorer, first announced its exist ence to white men. It consists of a veldt which stretches on and on as far as the eye can reach. The most of it is cov- cred with grass, as green as that which borders Victoria Nyanza, spotted here and there with a scanty growth of thorny brush. There are many native villages along the road to the tomb, and all the way out on the veldt are patches of cultivated lands. These are the farms of the natives. Some are not as big

The following tribute has been sub mitted by MT. E. V. DeJarnette:
 Mary DeJarnette Tate, entered into rest May 28, 1908, West End, Ala.
 Mary DeJarnette Tate, wife of Maj. T. S. Tate, and eldest daughter of James T. DeJarnette and Josephine Stark DeJarnette, was born May 27 1854 in Autauga county, Ala, at the old family homestead, "The Hills"
 In early girlhood she removed with her parents to Jefferson county, Ala bama, where she grew to womanhood, and in May, 1879, was welded to Maj. T.. S. Tate. Two children were born to them, Samuel D. Tate and Kathleen R. (Mrs. J. F. Beard.
 ] Mrs. Tates long residence in or near 1 Birmingham caused her to be closely identified with the people of this vicinity. Her circle of friends was wide, so that in her death not only is the Immediate family bereft. but the entire community has lost valued member. Her love of culture in it's broadest sense her love of music, and all the more refining influences of life were marked
 She loved nature deeply and with sensitive understanding few possess. She felt the spirit of God in every living creation of His.
 To appreciate her wide catholicism it was necessary to know her everyday life. where toward all with whom she came in contact she displayed a kindli- ness and sympathy that were Chrisuike. The poorest, the meanest, she ever stood ready with gentle heart to soothe, to help to befriend
 The sick the lowly, the wretched, knew her; nor was it for praise or gratitude that she bstowed her charity. If she had but brought cheer to an aching heart, or eased some poor sufferer down the Dark Valley of the Shadow she was content like Abuo Ben Alden, she '1oved her fellow men," and like his, her name will Head all the rest"

An unusually pretty and attractive
window is that OF the firm of James
Fitzsimons & Co.. No. 40 Michigan-ave.
which has been prepared especially for
the pleasure OF the downtown shop
pers. The general tone OF the win.
dow is in the Christmas colors OF green
and red.
The window represents a library.
with green rug, green hangings and
decorations OF green and cream. The
furniture is in the mission style, the
chairs, table, stools and the like be.
ing made along those severe lines. A
huge "grandfather's" clock ticks Cd
the hours and cellarette with wide.
open doors suggests the good cheer OF
the Yuletide. Besides the Morris
chairs In leather cushions, is a small
red leather rocker for a child. The
library table Is covered with red
leather spread and a drop lamp OF
brass and art glass sheds a soft light
over the scene. The decorations are
OF holly wreaths, red Christmas bells
and ground pine.
Santa Claus himself, in the custom
airy long white beard and bright red
suit. stands before the CRATE, the light
from the fire throwing bright glow
over his rudy features. Crowds OF
shoppers are constantly seen before
