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."
