â-  ^ GERMAK TRADERS IN SOUTH AFRICA evlDENCE OF UNJUST DEALINGS WITH NATIVE TRIBES. German Police Aided the Traders and Furnished No Redress to Dis- tressed Colonists. There are two opinions concerning the right of any nation, however ad- \ancod, to subdue and to govecn an uncivilized or partly civilized people, even when the government is Just and benencent. There can be no two opin- lous regarding a nation that usea its power to oppress and rob its weaker neighbor. It was the Germans' own deeds in their African colonies that made iU impossble to restore those colonies after the war. In an article an the German rule in Southwest Afri- ca, printed in the Fortnighty Review, the writer quotes the testimony of an under chief, Daniel Korego, of Omaru- ru, concerning the reasons for the na- tive rebeirten of 1904. Our people, he said, were being robbed and deceived right and left by German traders; our cattle were driven by force; we were flogged and ill-treated and got no redress. In fact, the German police assisted the traders instead of protecting us. Traders would come along and offer goods. When we said that we had no cattle to spare, as the rinderpest had killed po many, they said they would give us credit. Often, when we refused to buy goods, the trader would simply unload Tgoods and leave them, saying that we could pay when we liked ; but in a few weeks he would come back and demand his money or cattle. He would then pick out the very best cows hp could find. Theft and Robbery. Very often one man's cattle were taken to pay other people's debts. If we objected and tried to resist, the police would be sent for, and, what with floggings and the threats of shooting, it was useless for our poor people to resist. If the traders had been fair and reasonable, we should never have complained: but this was not trading at ail â€" it was theft and robbery. They fixed their own prices Beginning to Rid .\frica of Its Oppressors. The work of clearing the Cameroons of Teutons is in progress. A number of German families who have been deported from there have arrived at Rotterdam en route for the Fatherland. The Camerooiis are no longer a German colony, and their room was preferred to their company. The picture shows Ger- man women carrying their luggage to the quay.

May Not Apply to You- Read It All the Same. -But The art of conversation is worth studying. There are many rules to be observed, but they are all simple, and easy to remember. First, you must know what to talk about. The following rules will help you: 1. Choose a subject which interests you. If it interests you it will prob- ably interest your audience. 2. Talk about things of which you have some special knowledge, for then you are sure to tell your audience something new and interesting. Xext you must know how to talk. 1. Talk modestly. Otherwise you will annoy ymir hearers by your self- assumed su)ieriority. TRAVEL BY FLOWERY WAYS. The Way of Peace.

Don't talk The cleansing drops still ooze from ] out Thy side. ] Oh let them tall upon the hearts of those Who represent the nations; Saviour, heal Their leprosy, true source of all our woes.

Don't the trader came and took eight cows â- for the debt and two more cows for whut he called credit: thus it cost me ten cows altogether. Just before the rebellion in 1903 things got worse than ever. All the traders came round and began to collect debts. Often their claims were quite false, and they were deliberately stealing our cattle. We complained to the German police, but they told us that we were all liars, and that the word of a Genmui would al- ways be taken, even if half a dozen of us had the impudence to contradict him. That made us feel as if it were just as well not to be alive Our people cried and lamented the loss of their stock: our poorer people no longer had enough milk to drink; all our cows were going, and every mcnth saw our property dwindle away. We saw our chiefs, who complained and complained until they were tired. No heed was taken of them, and we had no coijrts of law to which to appeal for Justice. talk to anyone who has something bet- ter to do than to listen to you. 2. Don't talk if you yourself are tired or depressed: for then your con- versation will be dull and depressing. 3. Don't be afraid that if you remain silent your friends will think you dull. In any case it is better to be passively dull than actively boring. 4. Don't hold forth if there are more interesting persons present. Try to draw them out by asking them ques- tions, and showing an interest in them. You must also know how to select i time your audience: that is. to whom you ; should talk. Therefore: \ 1. Talk to the person who is most i likely to be interested in your conver- j sation. i 2. If you are a man you should pre- ; ferably address your conversation to ! a woman, and vice-versa.

Have you over thought that writers may some day run out of titles for books? There is no need for alarm; there will be titles almost as long as there are stories -perhaps longer. Here are a few titles of books pub- lished in Cromwell's time, and they are almost as odd as ttiey are long: "Seven Sobs of a Sorrowful Soul for Sin; or. The Seven Penitential Psalms of the Princely Prophet David, whereunto are also added William j Huinius' Handful of Honeysuckles.
