FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
Row British and Boers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long
Siege Of Kimberley.

During the Boer war Mr.. Rhodes
YVES shut up In Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
l~ong-range artillery. They we're not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed IL people.
Meantime, MI. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat Of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town. 1t was a regular modern rifed
gun, and fired shells-also homemade
-on each of which was stamped,
With compliments of @. J. Rhodes"
The Beers themselves were not
without a sense Of humor. During
Christmas, 1899, they we're b~esieging
Ladysmith, and on Christmas eve they
fired ten plugged shells into the town,
each with a piece of plum pudding in
side, and each bearing the words,
With the seasons compliments"
Two Of the shells were found by the
garrison, and it was discovered that,
like Mr.. Rhodes, they were home
made, having been cast in a foundry
ut johannesburg.

First Military Censor,

. Hannibal was in a bad temper, re-
lates the Cleveland Plain-D Dealer.
"Who is that little fellow over there
with the stylus and tablet?" he asked
his first aid.
That's a war correspondent from
Carthage, general"
What's he doing?"
He's counting the elephants and
the Balearic singers"
What's he doing that for?"
He's doing 1t because he's a war
correspondent"
The great Carthagenian emitted a
deep growl,
"HamiI." he said, I'm going to hold
you strictly responsible for this mans
copy. If he writes at all let him be-
little everything. Let him say l have
ten elephants where I have so. Let
him write that l have three legions
where | have ten. Let him call me
o wooden-headed blunderer. Then
let him lose his copy where our Ro-
man friends will find 1t. It's up to
you, Hamil. If the fellow gets balky
tie him to u biggest fighting ele-
plants trunk, when the next batch of
Roman senators comes up against us,
and let him get all the war he wants
at short range, Hamil."
And the first military censorship
was established.

greeting In London is How are you
getting along with your war song?'
Every one is writing war song.
hoping to give Britain another Mar
seillaise. But so far none of the re-
eruiting songs which the music halls
are trying to popularize has taken
with the recruits, whose favorite re-
mains the entirely unmartial Its q
Long. Long Way to Tipperary." The
favorite whistling tune on the march
is by all odds the Marseillaise, al
though the soldiers chorus from
Faust" and any spirited air has only
to be started to be taken up by the
entire line. This is why most of the
war song composers choose the old
tunes rather than those made to order.
One amateur poet sent set OF
verses to the Times with the chorus:
Here's to Lord Kitchener, brown as
the sun, T.. ~. - .
Gentle, persuasive and balmy,
Giving his orders and getting them
done, r..
Ali that he wants for the army.
In this case the writer's attempt
to rhyme balmy with army caused
greater indignation among the untnt'
ored recruits than among the scholar
ly poets for barmy in common use
means weak in the intellect.
Barmy, however, is used in its cor
rect sense by the brokers' battalion
oil. the Glasgow stock exchange, who
cali themselves Cameron men. Their
wall begins:
Why did we Join the Cameron men?
Why did we join the army?
Why did we come to Aldershot?
Because we're bally we'll barmy.
Skilly and duff. skilly and duff,
Because we're baily well barmy.

Every week during the last elk

notice relative to the meetings Of the

ing at length the interesting speeches
OF some prominent overseas or local
speaker, amongst whom have been
numbered such men as Sir Newton

ments, and others, and yet one is
continually hearing the question asked,
What is the Million Club, and what
are its aims and objects?'
It is these questions which propose
to answer in the following remarks,
though it would take an ADLER pen than
mine and much more lengthy article
than this is likely to be to adequately
describe the benefits which ought to
be derived by the state of Western
Australia from the establishment Of
the Million Club in It's midst.
Origin Of the Movement.
/ II is to Mr.. A. IL Ford of Honolulu
that indefatigable worker in the cause
of unity Of aim aad purpose amongst
the lands bordering on the Pacific
ocean--that must belong the credit of
inaugnrating the movement which led
to the formation Of the club He had
been here but three days when he had
got together small devoted band OF
workers, who were to carry son the
movement after he had left the state.
That little band Of men, numbering
II in all, met together on January 20
last. They framed constitution. APP
pointed officers and formally launched
the club, being convinced that such a
movement would be likely to meet
with hearty reception. would prove
q financial success and become a
power for good In the land.
DEPRESSING for a moment from a
closer inspection Of the objects of the
Million Club Of Western Australia, it
is interesting TO note that Mr.. Ford.
together with Mr.. Percy Hunter OF
Sydney, was instrumental In establish
ing the Million Club of Sydney III that
city some six years ago, and so sue
