BECHUAN ALAND CHIEFTAIN No name signed to th? historically glot Petition is more pathetic than that of Khama, the chief of Bechua naland, who begged that strong drink be kept from his people. Chief Khama has been called "Alfred the Great" of South America, and in Wilson S. Naylor's "Daybreak in the Dark Con tinent" the following story of the stand taken by him on the liquor question is told-the tale being cred ited to Mrs. Wyndham Knight: "Chief Khama's position on the li quor question puts to shame the v*eak duplicity of leaders and peoples in ? lands which for a much longer time !] have been inheritors of the gospel. The white man's drink is prohibited 1 from crossing the boundaries of i Bechuanaland. Native beer is also i abolished. These prohibitive laws are !i actively effective. They are rigidly enforced, and severe penalties are -| visited upn offenders. j "The white traders forced Khama i to strenuous legislation-a bit of < statecraft worthy the publicity it has ? received. Liquor dealers elsewhere i are credited with pertinacity. Khama 'i found that his opponents lived up to,J the reputations of the fraternity, j < Warning followed warning. Still the j' law was violated. Finally, tried be- '<? yond further endurance, Government, crystallized in the form of Khama's ? figure, took control and launched a :j phillippic. J. D. Hepburn, who acted j as interpreter, gives the ultimatum \\ as he heard Khama pronounce it: j< "I Dread the White ManV Drink." ; i " 'Take everything that you have. Take all that is yours and go. I am trying to lead my people to act ac cording to that Word of God which we have received from you white peo ple, and you show them an example ,1 of wickedness such as we never knew. j< You, the people of the Word of God! :< Go! take your cattle and leave myjl town, and never come back again!'?1 "On the ground of old friendship one dealer pleaded for pity. Khama flashed back: 'Friendship! You know better than anyone how I hate this drink. Don't talk to me about friend ship. You are my worst enemy. I had a right to expect that you would up hold my laws, and you bring in the y stuff for others to break them. You !? ask for pity and you show me no pity, c \To; I have had enoug" of such pity. T it is my duty to have pity on my peo ple, over whom God has placed me, ind I am going to show them pity, to- t iay. That is my duty to God.'' And t :he drink went. ^ "To the British administration he ? wrote : 'I dread the white man's drink ( more than the assegais of the Mata- \ oele, which kill men's bodies and is i quickly over; but drink puts devils in- . :o men and destroys their souls and ;heir bodies forever. Its wounds nev ?r heal. I pray your honor never to j ask me to open even a little door to ? :he drink.' 1 "The struggle over the native beer ^ making and drinking aroused deep ar ^ ;agonism. 'At one time,' said Khama, i I thought there was nothing but t leath in front of me. I told them they :ould kill me, but they could not con- ( a.uer me.'

"A soldierly looking man came up to me one night and brought out his discharge certificates, showing that he had served with me in South Af rica," says Lieutenant-General Baden Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, in "Scouting for Boys." "He said he could get no work, and he was starv-4 ing. Every man's hand was against him, apparently, because he was a soldier. My nose and eyes told me in a moment another tale, and what was the real cause of his being in distress. "A ?stale smell of tobacco and beer hung about his clothes, his finger tips ivere yellow with cigaret stains, he had even taken some kind of scented lozenge to try and hide the whiskey smell on his breath. No wonder no Dody would employ him or give him nore money to drink with, for that ?vas all he would do with the money if he got it. "Very much of the poverty and dis :ress is brought about by men getting ;nto the habit of wasting their time ind money on drink. And a great deal )f crime, and also of idleness, and ?ven madness, is due to the same hab t of drinking too much. Liquor-that s, beer or spirits-is not all neces sary to make a man strong and well. 3uite the contrary. The old saying, Strong drink makes weak men,' is i very true one. "it would be simply impossibly for i man v/ho drinks to be a scout. Keep 'rom liquor from the very first, and nake up your mind to have nothing ;o do with it. Water, tea, or cbffee are mite good enough drinks for quench ng your thirst, or, if it is very hot, emonade or a squeeze of lemon are nuch better refreshment." The Best Physic.

The value of prohibition was further demonstrated m a recent Sunday when at Nantas cet Beach, near Boston, not one ar rest was made. Notice to Hunters.
