MARKS WORLD'S PROGRESS
Evolution of Matabele Territory From
8avagery to Civilization la a
Good Example.
It is n little more than twenty
years since Lohengula, the Matabele
chief, died obscurely a few months
after the complete destruction of his
military force. The stay-at-home
Englishman scarcely realizes the
rapidity and completeness of the
change that has taken place in a
quarter of a century, says the London
Standard. Bulawayo, where
bloody sacrificial rites were performed
a little over twenty years ago,
is one of the most perfectly equipped
towns in the world. It has a magnificent
railway station, man}'

?nnn, a public library, learned and
other societies, parks, zoological gardens,
first-class hotels, daily andf
weekly papers. There is a theater
continuously open throughout the
year; race meetings and gymkhanas
are held frequently; and here, where
the Matebele name was once heard
with a shudder, learned anthropologists
discuss at scientific meetings
the habtfs and customs of that fierce
race. It is hard to realizo that 21
years ago not a stone of the modern
city had been laid. I?hodt*ia has
made marvelous progress during the
quarter of a century to be completed
this year. But it has been sound
and sober progress, auguring well for
the prosperity of the country in that
not far distant time when many millions
of white men will exist in
health and comfort in one of the few
tropical coxintrics where, owing to
peculiar conditions, the climate is

WARNING TO VACATION IST8.
The state commissioner of health
calls typhoid "an inevitable accompaniment
of the vucation season" and
tells how and why the vacationist
renders himself vulnerable to tliis
dread disease. "There is a common
hut erroneous idea," says the commissioner,
"that clear water is pure
water. . . . Many a stream
which to all appearances is uncontaminated
carries the germs of
typhoid and dysentery." Whether he

invariably prefers to be near a
stream of water. Sometimes he
drinks from such a stream without
the slightest concern as to the purity
of its source or as to the contamination
to which it may be subjected
along its course. Almost invariably
he bathes in it. Bathing in polluted
water has been found to be almost as
dangerous as drinking.?Philadelphia

WHY THEY CHECKED BULLDOG.

"Don't, keep pestering me."

"I wouldn't even bo engaged to

JUST WHY NEED HE WORRY?
Lighthouse Keeper Oeems to Have the
Laugh on the Reepeeted Covrte
of California.
Living a solitary existence on a
barren island, far removed from all
the pleasures and gaycties of the
great throbbing city of San Francisco,
docs not keep one George \V.
Graves from whistling merrily, "This
Is the Life."
Graves, who is the chief lighthouse
keeper at the Farallones of San
| Francisco, was made a member of
the Alimony club by Judge Morgan
in December, 1913. In granting an
I interlocutory "d?*cree of divorce to
I If T - i i .1
mrs. jsuik'i *iraves, tne court at that
time ordered Graves to pay his wife
$30 a month.
Swallowing this medicine smilingly.
Graves repaired to his lonelv station.
where, according to Mrs.
Graves, he forgot ail about alimony.
Last January Judge Morgan issued
an order citing Graves to appear
and show cause why he had not
obeyed the mandate of the court. The
order could not be served, however,
for the reason that the federal gov?
eminent will not permit anybody to
land on the islands unless on government
business. %
On other hand. Graves, when
he did visit the mainland, failed to
mention his trips in advance notices,
"When Mrs. Graves called on Judge
Morgan the judge had to admit that
he was powerless in the circumstances.

she \vould appeal to President Wil

MAIDS REPLACING VALETS.
Men's maids are gradually takinj
the place of the valet. The stringen
money market has brought about th
change. "There's more men's maid
than men's men or valets," asserts
New York employment agent. "Yisi
any of the fashionable hotels and yoi
will see maids changing the studs h
evening shirts, pressing trousers witl
patent aloohol irons, brushing th
coats and putting fresh laces ii
boots. The average well-to-do ooupl
travels with a maid, but not with
maid and valet. For, after all,
valet is very expensive and his dutic
occupy only a few hours a day, and i
maid can get through all of then
just as well. So the average lady'
maid is a man's maid as well?mai<
