THE MUCH BANQUETTED PREMIERS.
Last week we gave some interesting cartoons from English papers on tbe Colonial Premiers at the recent Imperial Conference. Tbe above, published under the title of "Will they look like this?" is Cartoonist Haseklcn's impression of what the Colonial Premiers might be expected to look like when
all the banquets and dinners were over. (By the end of the first week in May the Colonial Premiers had attended over twenty banquets and luncheons specially given in their honour.) The visitors were in danger of being killed. or at least their health seriously impaired, with kindness during their stay
in tbe Old Country. Tbe advice of one who also ran much risk in that wav, and how he protected himself, should have been of value to them. "I am," said the late Sir H. _. Stanley once, "almost the only survivor of all my comrades who came home with mc from Darkest Africa, and I ascribe my life
to my determination not to allow myself to be killed by the overwhelming hospitality of my friends. Ai the great banquets I took but one glass of champagne, and I never allowed my glass to be replenished by the waiters, but kept filling it up _nysclf with sodawater."
