London.—“I t ’« all In the game!"
In that laconic sentence; was ex­
pressed the fatalistic philosophy of a

the dreams of avaricd and who now-
Uvea In complete and lonely poverty
la a remote section of the Transvaal.
Nearly half a century ago the name
o f Samuel Honeyball wps famous
throughout the world as one of the
four mining prospectors who discov­
ered the richest gold deposit In the
world, the Rand gold mines which
have been valued at <1,000,000,000 and
which have yielded five times that
much to their Lucky owners.
Found Wreck of Pauper.
Honeyball recently was found liv ­
ing In penury—shaggy, unken.pt, aged,
the wreck of a roan who c. '.aed a
world and lost It, the living hr:.« of a
stronger and more fantastic tale I ban
novelists ever told. But he bus »«••
regrets, no resentments, no Ill-feelings
and but one explanation for the turn
in his fortune.
It was nearly fifty years ago that
Londoners were startled by the amaz­
ing news from Africa that a rich gold
deposit, the richest yet, had been dis­
covered by four men In the bleak ra
vines of the Transvaal.
• Stories of untold wealth began to
be beard and before many months
men from all corners of the world
began to sift into the Transvaal.
Great Discovery Made.
And Honeyball was one of the he­
roes. of the rush, rich and famous.
And deservedly, for with his three
companions Honeyball prospected In
the wild ravines and baboon-infested
plains.
Then the great discovery in the Wit-
waterstrand district was made. Gold,
conglomerate beds of It, were found.
And in spite of the amount of pre­
cious metal the Rand mines have given
up since they were discovered nearly
half a century ago, the amount still
there, waiting to be dug out, is still
measured In billions by mining ex­
perts. But Honeyball Is living In a
remote section of the country, depend­
ing for hla livelihood upon a pension
of <3.10 a week.
How he lost his untold wealth Is
not known and Honeyball will not
tell. He prefers not to discuss the
matter.

Roles for bathing In the Benedictine
monasteries of the Fourteenth century
have been discovered at London, Eng­
land, In the regulations of S t Angus-
tln e X Canterbury and SL - Peter*!,
Westminster.
Monks were allowed to take baths
twice a year—before Christmas and
Pentecost Previous to the Fourteenth
dentury, four baths were allowed an­
nually. but this number was cut In
half because bathing was considered
a luxury except when necessary for
the sick. .
Only four monks could bathe in one
day, so It took more than two week»
to accommodate the sixty nx«»nks In
the monastery. No baths were ellowe«!

The monks had servants to ww«h
them. At Westiiilnater these servant*
received extra food and beer on "lintb

The bHlhs were tHken sitting in «

ably the secular custom at the rime.
Monks were not all«»wed to stay In
the baths to “soak" after they hud
