AFRICAN CONvICTS FEEL
LASH OF BRITISH WHIPS

live happily and lazily in their
own wilds for several months.
Life and work had become al
most impossible for the British
colonist when the law was passed
that servants or hands must en-
gage themselves by the month or
period of several months, and
that running away before that
time was desertion.
Often the negro is given his
choice between a month of hard
labor or % strokes of the "kibo-
o" or whip of hippopotamus hide,
which all but draws the blood.
The negro generally chooses the
kiboko.
Though It Is painful at the time,
he has an excuse for escaping a
little work instead of being forced
to do a maximum of work for 30
days.
On an average there are in
Nairobi $50 negro convicts out of
a residential native population of
some 5000. There is little sick
ness among the convicts. They
seem, indeed, to thrive under the
Effects of the work to which they
object. The only difference not
ed when they come out, and 1t is
a sign by which they always can
be identified, is that they are
rather thin and slightly muscular
instead of fat and flabby like the
native in his primitive state OF
lazy bliss.

NATRoBI. British East Africa,
May 29.-The principle of the
American southern negro that
stealth vittles amt thievin' ="
is shared by his African cousin,
and furthermore is extended to
articles of wearing apparel, Just
as it is also by the southern ne
gro. When one has black skin
and a primitive nature. anything
needd for bodily nourishment or
protection comes as fair game,
and often without idea of dishon-
esty.
The crucial difference between
conditions in Africa and the
southern states is that In the
south a negro Is lodged and fed
by the government more comfort
ably than he would be at home,
as recompense for having COM
mitted a petty theft; whereas,
here, instead of being sent to Jail,
he is compelled to do hard labor,
though it be only a short sentence.

 She dared not say more. Rosamond broke into wild sobs Then suddenly she ceased and said with fierce determination:
 You are thinking what is not true! When you came in yesterday-it was not as you thought. He was telling me that he loved another woman, that I might , know he could never love me. And now he hates me. He says that it is through me that you will think that he is a false person. He said that he could never ex- plain to you"
 The revulsion of feeling in Dorothea was too strong to be called joy. It was a tumult in which the terrible strain of the night and morning made restraint pain As she was whirled homeward she could perceive only that this would be joy when she had recovered her power of feeling 1t.
 To Will, who had been drawn back to Middlemarch by a power that he could not resist, and who now roamed the streets in desperation, there came a note that evening from Rosamond. It was short and very simple T have told Mrs. Casaubon." it said. q told her be- cause she came to see me and was very kind You will have nothing to reproach me with now"
 A day afterward Dorothea and Will stood in the Casaubon house at Lowiclx looking out-upon a wild summer storm. Their hands were elapsed like those of two children.
 There is no hope for me- said he. "Even if you loved me as I love you even if l were everything to you-I shall most likely be very poor always. It is lase of me to have said so much. I meant to go away into silence but I have not been ablo to do what I meant"
 Don't io sorry" said Dorothea in her clear, tender tones.
 Her lips trc1nbled and so did his. They came tegether uneonseiously. They kissed treinblingly and then moved apart. He turned away and said "Goodby."
 "Oh, I cannot bear tiny heart will break!" said >Dorothea, starting toward him. The flood of her young passion broke down all the Instructions that had kept her silent. Great tears came and swept away everything except the thought of him.
 ''I don't mind poverty said she. T hate my wealth."
 In an instant Will was close beside her and had his arms around her. but she drew her head back and held his away gently that she might go on speaking. while she sad in a sobbing, child-like simplicity: we could live quite well on ny own little fortune. You did not know l had 1t. It is too much-f7oO year-A want so llttle-no new clothes-ano will learn what everything costs.

From Judges Library.
 The prosperous wholesale grocery dealer had sold out his business preparatory to denarting for the west to live. He was reflecting the next morning. on the pros- meet of getting a good price for his house, which the day before he had advertised for sale, when the door bell jingled mer- rily.
 sir" said the maid, putting her head in at the library door a moment later, its the old beggar from the corner near your store, sir" \ "Old Jo, the beggar, eh?' rejoined the retired business man, taking from his pocket a coin. T presume the wretched old fellow missed my customary contribu- tlon this morning and is come for it. Here, give him this dollar"
 The maid went away with the money and again returned.
 T gave the dolldc, sir" said she. "and he seemed very thankful for it; but he says he'd like to speak a moment with you on business, sir.'' What business can that old beggar have with me?" ''Ie says that if you can bring the price of this house down to s2Q,0o0 cash, he'd buy 1t, sir!'
