There are real | grass tennis courts, a real regimental band, and, before the war the best polo team in the colony. Such it is to-day, and yet, only twenty years ago, the quaint little fort in the cen- the of the town was the scene of one of the grimmest sieges of Britain's |. many frontier wars, Only the fact that all eyes were turned on South Africa at that time prevented the siege of Coomassie from taking its proper place in his- tory. But we who have experienced the inconveniences and discomforts of trekking "de luxe," and who know how much is needful in this part of the world to make life even bearable, can appreciate somewhat the sufferings borne by the defenders of the fort and the agonizing sus- pense that they endured until they heard the first shots of the relieving force. The ohied commissioner of Ashanti now lives in the fort which gave its meagre protection to Capt. Bishop, Lieut. Ralph and Dr. Hay, with their 125 soldiers, during those intermin- able weeks. One now has an evening gin and bitters on the very spot from which those three officers could see | the fires of burning villages and hear thes wailing of starving women and children. The Ashantis themselves seem to have shot their last bolt in the way of "frightfulness," however, and no longer rank among the brave tribes of the colony. Only one trace of the romance of the past remains. Where is the golden stool of Ash- anti? It disappeared in 1896 and has never been seen since. On it the Ashanti chiefs had sat and dispensed their own peculiar form of justice from the earliest days and, as far as is known, it is étill concealed in the innermost recesses of their land. But it would be a brave European who openly attempted to track it to its hiding place, and there is just a possibility that it has been privately sold during a period of financial Stress. Kofe Karikari, the King of Ash- anti in 1873, behaved' in an even more sacreligious manner, He secret- ly opened the mausoleum of his an- cestors and robbed their bodies of the golden ornaments without which no Ashanti of any means is ever lowered into the tomb. It would never have been discover- ed had not the lynx eyes of the queen- mother observed that the favorite wives of the king were inexplicably wearing rings and bracelets of an- tinque workmanship, A little inves- | gation, and she demounced him publicly. , An admission of his guilt was the only thing left for King Kofe. He had sold the major portion of his plunder, so he magniloquently in- formed his chiefs that he intended \ THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. eyes! your Lots oF headaches-- lots of weariness-- ¢ "nerves" ' bad temper -- and come to blow himself and them up with | gunpowder in order to obliterate his | shame.

Sete ag simmers Soldiers Wear Whiskers. There are signs that whiskers are being cultivated again. It is a re- markable thing that, although both King George and his father, King: Edward, were bearded, very few of their subjects followed their lead. In fact, from the days of the later Btuarts to e Crimean War, all { Europe wasfclean-shaven as well as bewigged. #The bearded warriors of the Crimea brought homethe fashion, | and for forty years society d from eye strain. And in such cases, ' nothing but skilled and careful attention to your eyes will remedy these disor- ders. If day after day, night after night, you are straining or overtask- ing your eyes--sooner or later--small disorders grow to large ones. Sooner or later your eyes will have serious, perhaps permanent, defects. L If "things don't seem to,be normal,"--if your eyes "dont feel exactly right"--Why not find out definitely what is wrong--and have it corrected now? Go to your Optometrist. Let him investigate. If it is not your eyes that are the source of trouble, he will tell you. If you need glasses--or need different glasses--he will tell you.
