Boer Praise For American Barbers

Bound for his old home in the Transvaal, J. H. Munnik, former state mining engineer under the Transvaal government, sailed the other day from New York on the steamship St. Paul. 

"I have been treated well," he said to a reporter of the New York Press, "while here and do hope the Boer generals now in Europe come here if only to get shaved by an American barber. I never knew the luxury of a shave until I came to this country.

"I predict a great future for South Africa. It will rise out of the ashes and become one of the greatest countries in the world."
