WHY DR.. JAMESON LAUGHED

Sir Leander Starr Jameson. still
better known to thousands as Doctor

change for the better in South Africa
as result of the stirring events that
have been taking place there.
A good story is being told about the
days when Doctor Jim was admins
traitor of Rhodesia. One of the officials
under him was very pompous indi-
vidual who rejoiced in a high-sounding
double-barreled name. He was very
much upset because his colleagues
would ignore his real title and persist
in clubbing him .-Muggins''
At last he could stand it no longer,
and went straight to his chief before
whom he made long and indignant
complaint.
Il think you will find said Doc
tor jim" that you only get called
this name when you are inclined to
put on side"
