OLD AGE PENSIONS.
“ Those arch-rivals, Mr Chamberlain and Mr Kruger,” writes a correspondent to a Home paper, *• still hold tho board* as they have done any time dating the past few years.

Tho curious may also note that the two statesmen have exchanged roles, and with no little success. MrUhftmbetlain baa laid aside ‘Old Age Tensions * for matters of mote Imperial moment, while Mr Kroger—somewhat lets promptly, it must be admitted—has thrown up dreams of an Afrikander Empire and reached Europe, it is understood, with two million Sterling in his pocket. If Mt .Chamberlain can give points in Empire building to Mr Kruger, the late President ban assuredly give the -Colonial Secretary a long Start and a beating in solving the problem of * Old Ace Pensions.’ ” 6
