CRUSHING THE KAFFIRS. treated Like 8lavei, Even by Whito Children In 8outh Africa. In "The Real South Africa" the au thor, Ambrose Pratt. ' says that tno Kaffirs are not only enslaved by the Boers, but it would seem also by the other whites, who ought to know bet ter. The white children born in South Africa acquire incurable habita of pride and Indolence before they reach their teens. Their , manners are haughty nnd overbearing: . The flret day I landed in South Africa 1 witnessed a email Incident that will tell ita own atory. Strolling through the city of Durban In the enr ly morning I saw a great hulking Kaffir carrying a bundle of papera to Hie floor of a newa agency, where a little boy about ten years of age was waiting to receive them.i The Kaffir very respectfully placed the bundle on the steps at the child's feet and mov ed away. He was immediately recall ed and most imperiously. Tou cheeky devil!' shrilled the child. 'How dare you leave the papers there! Take tue bundle into the shop at once auu un tie itr The Kaffir silently and humbly aheved. Now sort the papers!- oraerra rue phllrl. "A rrnin the Kaffir obeyed, wnen u teak waa completed the little boy con- mnfnnimln nolnted to the door. 'Get mit!' ha anirl. Tha Kaffir inclined reverently ana har-lrer! out of the abop aa thougn inn ing leave of royalty. The child did not even amlle. The sneer on hla face waa fixed." PITY THE.PtiOB LIONS. Huntera In Afrlea Aotuaiiy ".tor mm Brutes Out of Their Way. A clobe trotter and a hunter, by name Percy Stanhope, is an fcogusn man who may or may not have a sense of humor. Here is what he snid iu New York recently about Hon minting In Africa: Von hear them talk of lion bunting In Africa na though it were the king of nnrts It's a beastly aname uie u) thpv treat the poor beasts, w ny. wueii 1 was out in British East Airicn iwu years ago there waa n movement on foot to punish lion huntera for cruelty in nnlmala. In fact they were serious ly taking up the question with the home government 'The lives of the poor none are oeing made a burden to them. I can remem ber when the lions would come In out nf tha lunrde and sit on the piauorm of the railway stations, ana some or those cruel Englishmen actually booted th beasts out of the way. Think of IK tha cruelty of it all! "There being no foxes avauame, me nortsmen out In those parts have a habit of Bttrrlng up a Hon and pursuing Mia nnor beast with whoops and yells nntll It drops dead of exhaustion and actual fright The poor beasts bare been so terrorized that when they sea a white man they whimper from fright This fear shortens the life of the lions, and unless drastic steps are taken to nut a stop to tbe cruelty there won't be any of the animals left t in Africa." New York World. f Notice to Taxpayers. There is now dneon all nnpaid taxes a penalty of 5 pel cent to be. paid on or before the 81st day ot August.
