natural resources has led men , some travel

South Africa ns the nrst. One of thceo U
William J. Hooves of Chicago , formerly of
Omahn , who hns Juit returned to this coun
try from Johannlsburg nnd who has been In
town the past week.
MMoro gold will come out of that country
this year , " said Mr. Reevw , "than out of
California ninj the Klondike put together.
In January of last year they took out of
the Simmer nnd Jnck. the largest mine there ,
48,000 tons of crushed gold ore , which jleldcd
21,000 ounces of metallic gold. This mlno
emplojs 4,500 Kainrs and 2,000 white men.
K. L. Webster , nn old Omaha man , who bull I
the waterworks at Florence , Is the mechan
ical engineer for thl * mine.
"Tho Chicago wheat pit | H a tame jilaco
for excitement compared to the Johannls-
burg stock exchange when the Kadlr stocks ,
the gold mlno stocks , nro going up. The
place where ull their dealings In stocks nra
carried on is a section of the street that rum
along in front of the exchange building , cut
oft from through tranic at cither end by
chains. 'Uetwecn the clinlnn' Is the common
name of the place. At certain times jou can
eue scenes of the wildest excitement herb.
Millions of pounds sterling were lost and
won hero In January and February of this
year , when they had that famous boom In
Kaffir stocks. They have their own system
of conducting business , entirely unlike that
used in Chicago or Now York , and It Is hard
for n stranger to learn , A man who docs not
know It thoroughly Is likely to get the worst
of the dealing , too , and had better keep out
of 'Between the chains. '
"Tho mines prefer American machinery to
that made In any other country , on account
of the fact that It U turned out faster to
> order and Is better finished , moro attractive
and has finer work on It. Nearly all the
largo , machine manufacturing houses of this
country are represented there. And there Is
another department cf American Industry
which has already gained a foothold , or
more than a foothold , In Johannlsburg.
There It lots of American beer sold there ,
beoldos the German nnd English beers.
Y .loIiiiiuilNliui-K mill Vicinity.
"Tho country , although politically a re
public nnd nominally In the hands of the
Dutch colonists , the Doeis , Is almost run by
the English. There nre also a great many
Americans nnd Germans In Jolvuinlsbmg
The Kaffirs , the original Inhabitants of the
country , were coiiQuered by the Uoers nnd
hnvo no rlchta nt all. They are not even
allowed to walk on the sidewalks In Jo-
hannlsburc , but must take the middle of
the street. They are not allowed to live in
the town at nil.
"Tho city has about 40,000 or 45.000 In-
habltnnts. The different nationalities that
Is. the Germans , English nnd Americans-
do not dlvldo up , but mingle together. They
have two clubs there and a considerable
society of the better class. The English
are the mlno owners , principally. The poor
man has no show there , unless he Is an
extra flue mechanic. In which case ho can
command wages of 21 shillings , or $3 23 , per
day. They will have nothing to do in the
mines with nny but the best mechanics.
But living costs there about three times
ns much as in America.
"Tho 'Reef , ' ns It Is called , Is tbo place
where all the mines nre located. Hero Is
where most of the Kaffirs nre. The different
mines hnvo 'compounds , ' n hollow square
mndo of four lines of huts , In which the
Kaffirs live. It Is amusing to see n Kaffir
on a Sunday nftcrnoon pnrndlng up nnd
down hero with n war club and an umbrella
In his hands , nothing1 tout n breech cloth
on and his body made shiny with oil. The
Kaffirs and the Zulus , who nro also com
monly cnlled Kaffirs , though there la n
difference , nro very line physical speclmene.
"Thcso Kaffirs llvo ' '
on 'mealies' and
'meallo * mush , which is simply our corn-
meal. A Knffir when he travels carries with
him n sack of corn , some salt and a Dutch
oven , which ho calls n 'mealle' pot , nnd
ho Is ready to go to housekeeping any
where ho happens to be. Those who llvo
on the 'veldt , ' or plnln , and own BOUIO
cattle travel in a wngon that hns a house on
the front end of It. With this ho comes
to town -with what ho raises. The Kaffir
comes to iho mines , works about six months
nnd then goes back to where his people
nro and buys a wife. Ho first puts the
money he has sa\cd into cattle.
In a Kaffir's estimation cattle nro the real
ivoalth of the woild. With cattle ho can
get a wife ; six or seven oxen ate paid for a
wife. If ho wnnts another wife he goes back
to the mines and works again. When ho has
flvo or six wives , ho quits woiklng , goes
back to the country nud begins to accumulate
cattle. Girls are welcomed into the fnmli'y
much moro heartily than bojs , for the , boys
firing nothing , while the girls arc each worth
EO many cattlo.
"Dutch Is the language of Johnnnlsburg ,
but the Kaffirs have a language of their own
which they reinforce with clicks mndo with
itho tongue. There Is the tongue click , thereof
roof click nnd the thront click. A man not n
Kaffir doea not understand what they mean
except that they are used Instead of modula
tions of the voice. A Knffir ne\er raises his
voice. Instead , when he Is angry or In n
hurry ho adds some clicks to what ho says.

have been no servers In Johnnnlsburg up to

Johnnnlsburg Is not an unhealthy place
"The government derives a considerable
revenue from the fines Imposed on those who
Klvo or sell liquor to the Kafllrs The
Kaffirs are Riven to drinking a good deal , but
It Is forbidden to eefl or give them liquor.
Xcverthless they gct hold of a good deal
of Knfllr beer. They nre better protected
In many ways hero than they are In the
Capo colony ,
"U'ood nnd feed nre scarce nnd hlgh-prlcod
articles In the Transvaal. All the wood tim
bers used In the mines hnvo been Im
ported nnd almost all of them came
from the Puget sound country. Of late jenrs
they have had fair success at growing n
sort of gum trco nnd are getting n sinnll
nmount of lumber from that. Hut nil the
buildings of Johannlsburg , and there nro
many Jlno four nnd five-story ones , nro of
brick or stone. The resiliences of the middle
ctass nre made of corrugated Iron , because
wood Is so expensive. And feed commands
such prices that It costs about ? 7f > per month
to keep a horse. When you take a horse
to ft feed 5tablo you always watch him fed ,
otherwise ho will get about one-third of
what you pay for.
"Tho railroads are about the snmo In the

that first-class there would bo about equal

rug or blanket to sleep In nnd also a canvas
water bottle to cool his water In , for Ice U
scarce , too. The water seeps throush the
cnnvas slowly and evaporates on the out
side , making what remains on the Insldo
very cold
Varied Ktpprloiicrn ,
"Travelers In that country have all kinds
of experiences , some of thorn amnslne nnd
others not so much so. A fnvorito pastime
of parties of foreigners Is to shnko dice to
see who pnjs for six bottles of pop. Then.
Instead of drinking the pop , they use It to
wnsh their faces and hands In , The man
who throws highest washes his fnco In It
first nnd the rest follow In turn. Then
number one washes his hands In It. The
water there Is so filthy In the summer time
thnt It Is not oven used to wash In.
"They have a way of advertising Ameri
can goods there nnd putting up n great
tnlk nbout how American their things nre.
In one of the places that had a largo sign ,
'American Drinks , ' out In front I asked for
a Manhattan cocktail. The bartender , who
spoke with n Whltecluipel dialect , put a
llttlo of every cordial he had In the house
but ono .Into a tall champagne glass. I
think ho used glass for Ice , too. Tl en he
offered me the mixture.
" 'Hold on there , ' I said. 'Haven't you
forgotten ono of the Ingredients ? There's
the crcino do menthe bottle over In the
corner I haven't seen you touch that'
Well , In go three or four dashes of the
cremo do mentho.
"Then I offered him a shilling to drink It
and a shilling nnd six for n straight drink.
But ho wouldn't drink It and I had to pay
for It and cct a straight drink besides.
"Another tlmo n theater advertised to
have nn American voc.illst who would slug
American coon songs. Some men I knew
went down to hear her and the next day I
asked how they liked her. They said she
sang the coon songs In a Whltcchnpel
dialect !
"A representative bill of faro In one of
their restaurants reads Hko this : 'Scotch
mutton bioth , mutton pie , country sayle ,
roast mutton , with mint sauce ; mutton stew ,
Fanib , with mint sauce ; mutton fricassee ,
lamb chops , slowed mulberries and rice. "
This meal would cost five shillings , or $1.25.
' 'Tho railway trains In that country are
wonderfully accommodating. Once I was on
a train thnt stopped out on the open plain ,
nnd every passenger asked what It was stop
ping for. The guard told us that the fire
man had refused to obey 'tho engineer's
orders , and the engineer was thrashing him.
When the thrashing had boon given the train
proceeded.
HiitN OIT to the- National Aiitliem ,
"On the boat from Southampton to Capo
Town there Is nlwajs a band and sooner or
later It gets around to 'God Save the Queen , '
when every man's hat comes off. I took
mlno off with the rest. Ono day I found n
piece of music I had picked up in Johannls
burg. It was a medley of 'Marching Through
Georgia , ' 'Way Down Upon the Suvvaneo
River , ' 'Yankee Doodle , ' 'Hot Time' and
perhaps a few moro. I gave it to the band
leader nnd nskcd him to make out , some
parts to It for the band. He did and the
next day he was ready toplay It. When
the band started up on the first part of that
medley I whipped off my hat and said to
the gentlemen on the deck around me-
" 'Genti'emon , this Is < ho American national
nnthem. Wo always take our hats off to It. '
'All right , ' they said , and they 'took their
hats off. There was an English lord on
board whom I had met and I went up to
hltn nnd bald :
" 'Lord So-and-So , this Is the American
national anthem. ' And his lordship took off
his hat. Then I went up Into the wheel
house , where the captain was , holding my
hat In my hand.
" 'Captain , ' I said , 'this Is the American
national nnthem. ' IIy this tlmo the band had
got around to 'Hot Time,1 but the captain
didn't know the difference , and didn't
hesitate.
" 'All right , ' ho said , and he took his hat
off and held It In his hand until the band
had finished. "

SOOTHING A TROUBLED BOY

DIFFICULT DUTY OF KEEPING QUIET

On HcciillfiMlmi * of I'dlx
A distinguished portrait painter bearing
the Kronen nnmo of 1'ellx Moschclcs paid
n visit to the United Stntcs several years
ago nud was so Impressed with what ho
saw that ho opened studios In New York
nnd ClHr.'fio Ills experiences In this coun
try were sufficiently novel to bo preserved
In book form under the title , "Fragments
of nn Autobiography , " which was Issued re
cently.
Ono chapter of the book Is devoted to his
experience with a bright Omaha boy , the
then 4-yenr-old Hobcrt Morse , son of W V
Moise. Mr. Moschelcs gives n description
of the boy , bis mother nnd the difficulties
they both experienced In getting the joung-
stcr to sit patiently for his portrait. Ho
writes thus of the Incident :
"I had got very busy In the studio I had
taken In Chicago , where 1 was npendlng the
winter of 1S87 , when n very pleasantly
worded letter reached mo , Inviting mo to
transfer my studio to Omaha , two dajs'
Journey farther "west. I could not accept
the Invitation and so It was arranged that
nt least ono of my Intending models should
bo brought to mo to bo dealt with accord
ing to the severe laws of the portrait
painter's art. Uobert Morse was 4 years of
ngo and had n distinct objection to bo thus
dealt with nnd out of that circumstance
arose a series of difficulties. But , oh , ( low
beautiful ho was , I sec him now
as do was handed out of the
carriage on his arrival nt the Hotel
Uictiellcu , his golden curls escaping fiom
beneath his Phij-glan cnp of liberty nnd
cascading o\er his shoulders. Wo were In
the depth of winter nnd his sturdy llltbj
llgure was warmly clad In the nmplo folds
of the toboggan costume a sort of ulster
mndo of deep-toned red flannel , collar nnd
cuffs of the snmo material , but dark blue ,
nnd the cap to match. His mother led him
unstolrs or I tlould more concctly say ,
speaking of this t > plcal American child ,
was led upstairs by him. After forty-eight
bouts' traveling that lady stepped out of the
train much ns if It were ono of those boxes
maikcd "Worth , Paris. " She was a lovely
woman , ns I soon learned ; lo\oly not only
In outward appearances , but In that moral
and Intellectual scnso which the American
language connects with the word. "
A Dctcriiiliifil M le Sitter.
Then follows a description of the mother ,
the determination to paint the boy In full
length nnd n head portrait of the mother
Then ho begins his story of the difficulties
made by the boy , who declined to sit or to
lca\o the studio when his mother wap sit
ting. Ho tells of the devices used to cir
cumvent the powers of reslstcncc , all of
which failed miserably. Even the wife of
the painter succumbed to the boy and his
determination not to do what was wanted
of him. Mr. Mosc-heles Illustrates this feat-
turo thus :
"At all hours of the day Robert was de
lightfully ibrlght , but his cutcness seemed
sharpened as bedtime approached. Not that
ho objected , as most children do , to going to
bed , but however sleepy howas his spirit of
resistance seemed somehow to revive when
the moment came to recite his llttlo prayer.
On ono occasion all -went smoothly as long
as ho prayed for his father and mother , his
brothers and sisters , but when It came to his
uncles nnd aunts and to their numerous off
spring ho made a decided stand , putting It
plainly to his mother , 'I say , mamma , why
can't they pray for their own crowd ? ' An
other tlmo there had been In the course of
the day a distinct difference of opinion be
tween Robert and his mother on the ad
visability of his going out sleighing. Ho
gave In wllti unwonted docility , but when
the evening came and the fond mother
folded her hands nnd knelt by his bedside
ho shook his .head and said , 'No , mamma ,
no sleigh , no prayers ! ' "
Finally Mr. 'Morse ' came on t < 5 assist , as
the tlmo was growing short. The painter
says the fattier stood the boy's doings for
a tlmo and then. In a decided manner , took
him awav to another room. Mr. Moscheles
continues :
"nut If I expected howling nnd gnashing
of teeth I was to bo disappointed. Nothing
broke the silence until after some time the
door opened nnd father nnd son reappeared.
Robert took his place , clutched the cord
attached to the toboggan and listened with
rapt nttentlon to his fnther's words. These
WCTO spoken slowly nnd Impressively , giv
ing mo tlmo to apply whatever fnculty of
correct drawing I possessed.
The Pntlier i\iilnlilN It.
" 'Sir , ' ho began solemnly , 'Robert wishes
mo to communicate to you what has pawed
between us during our atosenco from the
room. It did not take me long to elicit from
him the fact that ho has no desire to ECO his
portrait finished. Ho has even assured me
that as far ca ho was concerned it need
never have been painted at all. He further
stated that ho at no time formed a desire
to visit Chicago , and that ho much prefcrroJ
Omaha to that city. Also , ho said ind 1
think with some show of reason that hav
ing no playmates hero ho would Hko to re-
turrj to those ho left behind , moio espe
cially hlH brothers and sisters. Now , sir ,
you are aw are that I , on the other hand ,
wished him to make It possible for you to
finish that portrait and I could see no
cause why I should recede from that posi
tion , so I politely but flrmly requested him
to do as I desire. There aie , no doubt ,
some boys , who , when thus thwarted and
opposed , would not have hesitated to strike
their fathers , but Robert Is not n boy of
that description. Ho would at nil times
respect his father's Independence Still ,
you see , wo were nt whnt jou might call
loggerheads. Wo had gotten flxcdllko In
a dark place with no door behind us , the
windows left out and n stone wall In front
Under these circumstances I cast about In
my mind , and It occurred to mo wo should
do well to make straight for arbitration.
Now Robert said ho did not know the pre
cise meaning of arbitration , so I explained
to him that when two pnrtles could not
ugrco It was usual to call in a third to
dccldo which way things were to bo settled.
I wanted to nominate jou , sir , but Robert
put In his opinion that jou might not bo
the right person for our purpose. Ho eald
I myself should do better , so after giving
the matter careful consideration I decided
that Robert should eomo In and take
friendly to that toboggan and cord and that
ho should generally make himself portrait-
able. I further decided that as long as It
lasted I should elt hero patiently and wait ,
but that as soon ns you had finished I
might go and procure- horse to have a
rldo on the rend to Omaha , and that I
should also procure a pony EO that Robert
might accompany mo on that ride. '
"Robert listened Intently. I painted ditto.
They say In Omahn , where the portrait
hangs , that it Is good. So 'all's well that
ends well. ' Of that I am glad and as I
recall the Incident I am once moro lost In
admiration of the American child that from
Its earliest days is ever ready to elicit the
noblest qualities of patience and forebear-
auco In the parent It U training. "
