The Queerest poliemi. "Tho strangest policemen In' tho world, are In Cape Town, South Africa," Af-rica," said a man who had traveled In the Dark Continent. "They are tho Kaffir negroe. They wear a uniform similar to that of an English soldier, but instead of a club and a revolver they carry a long spear with a red tas-Ics tas-Ics near the point and a short stick which has a heavy brass ball on the end and Is attached-to the policeman's belt by a cord some 60 feet long. They throw the ball and stick and the cord winds around the prisoner llko a ranchman's lariat and prevents him from walking, obey aro not allowed to carry firearms, and only make an arrest, when ordered by their whlto of floors to do so, but Jf they are ever sent for a man he had better go with A out Question, for he Uther goes to Jail W or the hospital ir he resists."
