BC Historical Newspapers
The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

I PIGMIES' LIFE IN LONDON (Continued from Page Two) anger of any of them since they came to London is short-lived, and Mari- api's habit of eating more than her fair share of the honey provided is not.going to lie cured by Pigmy jesting. Sixteen large pots of honey dis: appear every week in the Blooms- bury household of the Pigmies, ,and it is washed down by seven or eight bottles of limn juice, diluted. The Pigmy, wll<" (,oes T,ot kl'ow alCol,ol> is not temperate when lime juice abounds. In all their habits, however, since their arrival in London, the natives of the Jturi Forest are mostly ev- | emplarv. Mr. -William Hoffman, the interpreter, gives them a good character- He was in their country with Stanley on his 1887 expedition, and he knows what they arc in Africa as well >a<"-'n London. They like, he says, when possible, to run on the grass, climb .trees, and shoot their arrows at animals or iiirds. When " Lord Londcsborough had them at his residence, Matuka shot two rabbits with arrows. He and his brother Pigmies wanted to shoot at thc ferrets, too,'but when the use of the little animals was explained to them, they declared they would take some ol them to their homes, far, far away���������"to hunt elephants " The Pigmies' sense ot proportion is often si rained. . When seen at thc Hippodrome the Pigmies wear _n certain amount of clothes. Tn the Bloomsbuiry pension they take lifcmoic easily. It ' was warm enough yesterday for any London resident, and apparently at tea- time the Pigmies found it so, for they left their clothes in the house \1h3n they went into "the back yard for their tea. .Bread and butter and hard-TjoiIed eggs disappeared rapidly before their fierce attack, but the- tea, languidly sipped with spoons, offered more resistance. The Pigmy seldom seems astonished for lon������. He has got" to believe that the white man can do anything-- The electric light, puzzled him; he wanted to see how it was made. Now every one of the six little Af- licans gets amusement, when he can, by switching off the light. Matches caused wonder also, but yesterday ��������� Bokrani lit a match and smoked an , Egyptian cigarette.
