Luck aud Diamonds.

The sheerest luck guided the men
who discovered certain of the most
famous diamond mines in South
Africa. Here are the stories of two
of them:
One day just fifty years ago, says
a British magazine, poor Boer
farmer named Van Wyk saw one of
his children trying TO pick out a peb-
BILE from the mud walls of his rough
house. He looked at il and found IL
TO be tiny crystal that emitted vari-
colored lights. Turning TO the walls
of his house. he saw in them scores
of similar pebbles He picked out
few, showed them to an expert and
learned that they were diamonds.
The walls of his house were literally
incrusted with them. Thus was dis
covered the famous Dutoitspan mine,
which in a single generation was des-
tined to yield tens of millions OF dol
lars worth of diamonds.
Riding out one day at sundown 70
bring in his horses. Boer farmer
saw a meerkat scraping earth from
its burrow. The earth had an odd
look that led the Dutchman to start
TO fill his handkerchief with ii. To
his astonishment he presently found
in his fingers a three-fourths' carat
diamond. He paved over more OF
the earth and found more diamonds.
He had found the Wesselton mine.

conist of Greenyille. S. c., is becom-
ing something OF fox raiser these

log a short distance from the river.
He started out at an early hour
the other morning when his dogs
struck the trail OF the mother. but
instead of following the frightened
animal Mr.. Forbes called in his dogs
and inspected the log where the old
fox came out Of He pretty soon dis
covered that il was her home, and
much to his JOY and surprise, in a
few minutes came upon the five little
fellows, which had grown almost
large enough TO be released by the
protecting mother.
The five which Mr.. Forbes already
had at home were captured several
weeks ago. and were so small at the
time that he was forced to turn them
over TO the protection of an old house
cat Pussy proved an admirable
mother indeed. and looked after her
adopted children in a way that
has created much surprise and fun.
She handles them exactly like she
would one of her "shore nuf" babies.

mouth and transferring them from
place to place when she feels the
spirit OF wanderlust troubling her old
soul.
Mr. Forbes told several men this
morning that he plans TO keep the
little animals confined until they get
large enough TO look ont for them
selves. when they will be released in
the low grounds to furnish sport dur
ing fox hunting season.

misery due TO the lack OF il in cold
weather will be greater next winter
than in any period since 1915. AL
most no clothing has been available
in Central and Eastern Europe for
the great masses of the population
since 1915. The relation of wages
to the cost OF living since the drop
in the rate of exchange that followed
the war has made such purchase
practically impossible, even were the
goods TO be found People can live
through the summer without much
clothing although not without dis
comfort and mental suffering. In
winter, however. clothing is neces-
