SOUTH AFRICA
HAS ITS PROBLEMS

New York. Dec 24-After n jour
ney of about 10000 miles, A. Weir Ma
son, one OF the justices Of the supreme
court of the new union of South Az
rica, Is In New York to spend Christ
mas with his son, who is a student at
the Massachusetts Institute OF Tech
nology. Justice Mason left Pretoria
on November 10 He will return ear
ly In January.
Il doubt very much whether the
American population OF South Africa
Is increasing" said Justice Mason In
answer TO a question. zone reason Is
that we are now growing our own
men The big lines of development
have been laid down. The American
engineers who were responsible have
done the big work and many have left
the country. Naturally there are few
er coming In.
South Africa Is an interesting coun-
try. We are more especially concern
ed over a problem with which you
have had to deal in this country
What are the proper relations be-
tween blacks and whites, for in our
country the former are nearly five 10
one They represent all ages We
are always looking to America to see
how you are progressing toward the
solution of this difficult problem. In
many parts of South Africa, polygamy
between the blacks Is recognized by
statute"

This statement caused Madame D'Aul-

RUDYARD KIPLING
ON MEDICINE HAT

Ottawa, Ontario. Dec. 24.-Rudyard
KlplIng. according TO a special dis
patch from Medicine Hat, has writ
ten a characteristic letter to citizens
of that place after being informed
that the town contemplated changing
its name.
so far as can make out from
what / heard when | was with you
in 1907. and from the clippings you
enclose" Mr. KiplIng writes. the
chief arguments for the change are:
Il. That some United States jour
nalists have some sort Of joke that
Medicine Hat supplies all the bad
weather of the United States. and
"2 That another name would look
better at the head OF prospectus.
Now. as to the charge of brewing
bad weather, etc. ! see no reason on
earth why white men should be
bluffed out OF their city's birthright
by an imported joke. Accept the
charge joyously and proudly and go
forward proudly as Medicine Hat. the
one city officially recognized as capa-
BILE OF freezing out the United States
and giving the continent cold feet
Believe me, the very name Is an
asset, and as years go on will become
more and more of an asset 1t has no
duplicate In the world 1t makes men
ask questions. II has the qualities
of unlqueness. individuality. associa
ton and power. Above all, il is the
lawful. original, sweat-and.dust-won
name of the city. and 10 change 1t
would be TO risk the luck OF the city.
TO disgust and dishearten old tim.
erss not in the city alone. but the
world over. and to advertise abroad

A CHRIS TMAS G.F 7

A snowflake fell to earth one Christ
mas night,
And rested on a cold, gray window
sill
Where other snowflakes clustered
fast, until
Their whteness filled the misty air
with light;
And. Iol this beacon sladdening
weary slight,
Fell like the sound Of Joy bells born
to thrill
Each soul with love, or by the
Sav'our's Will
A holly wreath with crimson berries
bright,
A blessing fell to earth one Christmas
Eve,
And rested on the doorstep Of a heart,
Which conquered lay, nor ever ceased
to heave
Beneath the crown Of thorns,-a love-
sent dart.
A crown that erstwhIIe blossomed full
and free,
With leaves and berries for eternity.
