Now th# Empir* Builder Ruled tho Savage Nativa Chiefs. John Hays Hammond, the noted mining engineer, tells in the American Magazine of the most wonderful man he knows. He names Cecil Rhodes as this man, and he says: "The influence of Mr. Rhodes on I the South African natives was al-1 most uncanny. Once a grave native war let loose against the white settlers. Rhodes undertook to stop the J combat single handedly after the British commissioner had been treated with studied contempt by I wftliwA rtKinf TTio ^nolrtr moioa.

Even then he gave the envoy no satisfaction. "Rhodes then took the matter up and arranged through messengers for a talk with the native and then kept him waiting?exactly three days. "Despite the fighting men who surrounded the chief, Mr. Rhodes scorned to carry a single weapon or allow a single soldier to accompany him. He had in his hand only a riding crop. "The king squatted in state on the only seat available, leaving Rhodes standing. Rhodes ordered him up and took the seat. arWhat do you mean by killing my white people V he demanded. "At ?rst the native was offended, but the personality and fearlessness il?A AmntWA KIIII/IAV OAAT1 AAWPtl VI II1C umpxiu V/UXXUVA 9VVU VVTfvvt him. When Rhodes left he carried a solemn pledge that not another shot would be fired. Not only did the chief keep his word, but when 'the great spirit of Africa* died and was laid to rest in the lonely, uninhabited Matopos representatives of the chief fired a royal salute over his gTave, an honor never before or since paid to the memory of a white man." Partial Eclipse of the Honeymoon. In earlv American households maternal authority was not lightly to be defied. When Charlotte Fenwick, a southern beauty of the Revolutionary period, was fifteen years old she took advantage of the absence of her mother in England to fall in love with a northerner, Major William Leigh Pierce, and to marry him. On Mrs. Fenwick's re^ * 1 1 13 1 turn to aavannan, wnicn naa oeen hastened by news of the approach of the English array to Charleston, she was highly indignant to find her daughter married to a stranger. "And who is this Major Pierce?" she demanded. "A gentleman, madam!" young Mrs. Pierce haughtily replied. "Go to your room, madam," commanded Mrs. Fenwick severely, "and stay the rest of the day!" . And the little bride meekly obeyed. Pon* In tho Tropics.

Bronze or brass pens or those coated with bronze do not 6eem to be thus affected. Ink deteriorates very quickly in tropical climates and often has the consistency of gum. On the ordinary steel pens this aids the rust and is hard to wipe off if left for a short time. With the bronze or brass pen or with a pen coated with bronze the coated ink is easily wiped or burned off.?Indianapolis News. ru. u.i... I (iv viiuo vi buuwmvm Late statistics show that uneducated laborers earn on the average $500 per annum for forty years, a total of $20,000; high school graduates earn on the average $1,000 a year for forty years, a total of $40,000. This additional education requires twelve years of schooling of 180 days each, a total of 2,160 days of school. If that many days adds $20,000 to the income of life, then each day at school adds $9.02. The child that stays out of school to earn less than $9 per day is losing money, not making money. Whole Hog or None. AIO at nnnn" tA n iiuiu Jiv/g ux uvuu xo tv wuv alleged custom of Mohammed to allow his followers to eat all except one portion of a pig, which portion, however, was not specified. The result, therefore, was that if a Mohammedan did not wholly avoid the use of pork he might as well run the risk of consuming the whole hog as to eat any portion thereof. Zinc.

ELIZABETH CITY M PRAISES INI Says He Thinks There is Noth Have Taken it Alsc Stomach' A Non-Alcoholic, Highly Concentrated Iron Remedy.

Because: Pork is the principal meat of the army, city and farm. Pork is the most satisfactory meat for shipping long distances on train, boat or wagon and for long storage after reaching its destination. Pork is the most satisfactory meat for curing. Pork always finds ready sale benause there are so many ways of placing it on the market in attractive and highly palatable form, combined with most excellent keeping qualities. There is no other meat from which 30 many products are manufactured^ Almost 50 per cent of the total yalue, in dollars and cents, of the meat and meat products handled in the packing houses of the United States is derived from the hoc:. No other animal equals the lard hog in its fat-storing tendency. As a consumer of by-products the hog has no equal. The hog is by far the most efficent of domestic animals in convertng grain into meat. Mr Farmer, you should endeavor to raise more hogs.
