MAN WHO

A LANGUAGE

SURVIVED TRIBAL WAR Sefuls, Barotseland, Sept. 15.

A man who wrote a language and who survived days of violent tribal warfare, witch doctors, torture and sinvery. is the central figure here at the jubilee of the French Protestant Mission which has in 50 years converted from Africa this

of part heathenism.

He is the Rev. Adolphe Jalla, who joined the mission in 1889, four years after an expedition led by Francois Coillard and his Scottish wife had crossed the Zambesi into this territory and established the Mission Station. Mr. Jalla recently wrote the Sikololo dialect-previously only spoken. By this he has been able to translate the New Testa- ment into it for the natives, and to produce a vocabulary gram- mar and other books for use in schools. Honorary Companion- ship of the British Empire was conferred on him by the King this year.-Reuter,

WHEN A FARMER THRASHED THE KING

THE KING SAID "I DESERVED IT, TOO" Johannesburg, Sept. 10. A STORY of how an

old Dutch farmer once saved the King from serious injury and thrashed him with a whip-is told by a cor- respondent to a Johan- nesburg newspaper.

The farmer arranged a shoot- ing trip for naval cadets from the Cape. The cadets included the King, then fourteen-year-old- Prince George, and his brother the Duke of Clarence.

The party set off in n mule wagon, and the farmer ave instructions that nobody should shoot without his permission,

The Prince Fell Off Suddenly a buck appeared, and Prince George, forgetting what the farmer had said, tired.

The mules jumped, the wagon jolted, and the boy Prince' fell off. The farmer just managed to turn the wagon aside so that the back wheel missed the Prince.

Then, beside himself with anger the old man advanced on the sprawling boy and struck him with his whip.

The hunt, continued, and the in- | cident was forgotten in the exeite- ment of a good day's shooting.

Years later Prince George, then Prince of Wales, visited South Africa again. He gave a luncheon to the old Farmer and introduced him to the Princess of Wales (Queen Mary) na "the only man who ever thrashed, a British Prince."

"And," Buid the Prince, "a better and more deserved spanking no king's son ever had."
