have already reached $21,39O.O OO,-

be the wish Of administration lead

so as to provide approximately
$500. 100000. substantially the
amount of the war revenue law pass

The passage Of such bill
means that heavier lcvies, prob

Entertain When Delayed.

When q train is held up in South
Africa the passengers readily adapt
themselves to the situation. One con-
genial custom is to elect an entertain
ment committee. On one occasion a
very successful concert was given by
the passengers and staff ut the Rail-
way Institute, Beaufort West by which
$35 was released in aid of the Red
Cross fund. A somewhat uncommon
turn to the Beaufort folk was an ex-
hibition bout by Harold Butler (stew-
nrd on the train), who gave Chief
Steward McNickan three sharp rounds
and took on a soldier directly after
wards for the same period. Some very
original comic songs were well appre-
ciated. An incident worthy of note
was an amusing absurdity, called "The
Waiter" written on the spur Of the
moment by two stewards and q fair
''damsel' who afterwards turned out
to be Mr.. and not Miss. The eve
ming concluded with dance, and it
helped to pass a pleasant few hours
while waiting for the line to be
cleared.
