DISAPPROVED OF "GEORGE"
: o j King Not Up to Standard
"EVIL SPIRIT" POLITICS
Capetown, July 30
I King George V. of England came j In for a great deal of criticism outi side the Ladysmith Magistrate's I Court, where five native constables j spent an uncomfortable two hours j guarding a native woman suffering | from an evil spell which had been I cast on her.
i "George," as the old woman dis- ; respectfully culled him, was far too ■ apathetic about South African af- ) fairs. If he look more interest and ! displayed a firmer hand in the adI ministration of the country, things J would not be nearly so bad as they j are. It was a great pity that I "George" was not a little more like i the .."beautiful spirit"—Queen Vicj toria —who always bad the interests j of her native subject at heart. ', Police Routed j One of the constables, horrified a!
• the leso majeste, tried to quieten j Rosalina. He was sorry a few miu- | ul.es later, when she turned her ! tongue to a description of the con- | stable's relatives, remarking that it I was a pity that they had never j married and a greater pity that they bad ever brought him into the world.
j The other constables enjoyed the t joke immensely until Rosalina ] turned her attention to them, j When the court orderly announc|ed that it was old Rosalina's turn ] to enter the court, she decided that j it was time to break into song. The i consequence was that Rosalind | never entered the court, but on an i order from the magistrate was com- : milted to an institution. t 'XJAZOI, Pastilles flo aot disturb tbe i stomach —no offenflivn nmell or taste —to rfrllevp Colds HoarseiißH* J .no* of Vrvlcfi. 1/8 rw>T.
