TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 31. G NIGHTDRESS IN ONE PIECE WILL PLLEASE THE INVALID THE UNION RESTRICTED TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR Hats and Co. IT IS to be the small hats for early spring, made of exquisite, lustrous, light braids, that is light in weight. And these little hats are soft, many of them made without a wire frame, so that they sit caressingly upon the hair and conform themselves to the shape of the head. And a few people have jumped to the conclusion that because hats are small, the matter of dressing the hair will sink into one of the unimportant and negligible details of the toilette. Such a conclusion is not reached by a course of reasoning. If you have absorbed it, "I pray you gentle lady, to unthink your speaking and to say so no more." The small hat, even more than the large one demands a well dressed coifure; for the collar is the visible means of support of the little hat. Hair, in pretty curls or fluffy waves, must keep out from under the edge of the hat and frame the face and neck, otherwise the wearer will look so if she were bald. These small hats worn over a coifure from which a few stray puffs and bobbling cords contriive to stray out, and covered with a fine floating vell of lace, are simply entrancing. These vells come in a variety of fancy colors. Nothing is prettier than a Pattern Simple In Construction and Garment Most Comfortable to Wear. Anyone who wants to make a night-dress with little trouble should use this pattern, as it is very simple in construction and comfortable to wear; the sleeves are cut in with the body part, an opening being made down the left side; the neck is cut square and trimmed with two rows of insertion ml tered at the corners, but the pattern is cut quite up to the neck, so that one row of trimming only need be used. The sleeves are gathered into insertion-trimmed bands, and are finished with lace. Materials required: Four yards 35 inches wide. Two Little Hints. Do not throw away boot polish when it has become hard through the lid being left off, but place it on top of a warm oven until it softens. I have tried it and found it worth the trouble. To open a tin of black lead, pull away the paper and put it in front of the fire—on the fender will do. It will open quite readily and better than knocking the tin with a knife. Cone of Silk Gloves. In trying on silk gloves cover the hands well with talcum and you will not tear the gloves. If a seam rips, do not whip it over and over. Turn the glove, catch one side of the torn part and then the opposite, going back and forth, and the work will not rip out. Do not knot the thread. Mend a "run" in a similar manner. THE GAZETTE Brussels net with a little dot or figure over the surface and a lace pattern in the border. Two. good models in small hats are shown here. In Fig. 1 the round, capelike turban is made of silk braid in bright champagne color, the brim and crown are both made of the braid, sewed and afterward draped on the fine light frame. These hats are not for the amateur millinery, because they require a knowledge of the art of draping. The rosette and petal is made of brown velvet and gold cord. It is a beautiful color combination and suited to almost any color in the costume. costume. The second hat is of an elegant braid in black and white. It is trimmed with a double collar of velvet and kid, and finished with velvet covered buttons. It is a cool and crisp combination of black and white which we can never hope to excel in elegance. Imagine these hats on a head with the hair drawn back and not appearing about the face and neck! The pretty face and the pretty hats would both be spoiled. The importance of the coiffure with the small hat increases. They are both well worth while. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Pretty and Useful Trifles. That Will Lighten the Tedium of the Sick Room. Among the appropriate things for the invalid are flower holders. These can be fastened to the foot of the bed, and are large enough to hold three or four carnations, or roses, generally all that are to be allowed in the sick room. Another acceptable gift is a dalynt piece of china—a flower bordered plate, a gruel bowl of eggshell thinness, or a fragile cup and saucer of delicate design. Never mind if these things are likely to break with their first tumble; because of their beauty, they will give enough pleasure, perhaps real benefit, to make their possible short existence well worth while. A lightweight leather writing case, provided with a screw-top bottle of ink, compartments for paper, envelopes, stamps, and pen and pencil, gives the invalid who is strong enough to write a certain feeling of independence. Some of these cases have keys which add to their usefulness. A plint or half pint vacuum bottle, for keeping liquids warm or cold, is another comfort-giving gift for the invalid and a time-saving gift for the nurse or caretaker. SCARF OF SHETLAND WOOL One of the Prettiest and Most Comfortable of the Season's Head Coverings. Something more than a coat is required by the girl going forth in the evening to some gala function or other. She needs a head muffling, a throat protector of some sort, and is very well protected if she has velvet or silk overboots and long wool mittens for the thin gloves. These things make her comfortable, and if they are selected, they need not be clumsy or unbecoming. One of the cheapest and most rewarding head mufflings of the season is a Shetland wool scarf or auto vell, for these pretty things can be worn over the face. These filmy scarfs come in all colors and pure white, as well as in white with gay Scotch borders. For a dark girl who is going to have a bit of vlid color in her party getup the Scotch-border scarfs are superb. They have a look of Mexican splendor and cost exactly one dollar and ten cents each! Novelties. Nets are gaining in favor as a foundation for chiffon corsages, producing a much softer effect than silk. Large velvet bags with the personal touch of an embroidered monogram in one corner are much favored. Among soarfs the newest material is fine silk tricot, like glove silk. These come in all the fashionable shades. Many of the sleeves in the new evening gowns are slashed, with any other material appearing underneath.

WASHINGTON.—Never was there a prouder father than Thomas Pryor Gore, the senator from Oklahoma, and according to him, there never was so bright a baby as that recently born to Mrs. Gore at their residence, 1863 Mintwood place. He is a handsome youngster, too, though pathetically enough, the blind statesman must learn this from the mother and from his numerous friends who have called to see the child that may some day carry on the tradition started by his father and become a statesman whom the young western state will delight to honor. MRS. GORE AND THE BABY MANY ACRES SAVED One-Fifth of Total Area of State of Minnesota Is to Be Recalled, According to Report of Drainage Commission. St. Paul, Minn. - Reports of the state drainage commission on work done in Minnesota from August 1, 1988, to August 1, 1990 have been placed in the county legislature. lands of the region. The commission estimates that Minnesota had originally 10,000,000 acres of swamp land, too wet in their natural condition for agricultural purposes. This vast area, comprising about one-fifth of the land of the state, is fast being transformed from swamp lands to productive farms. Conservative estimates place the total area reclaimed during 1909 and 1910 at 1,500,000 acres. 000 acres. Ditches are constructed by the state and by the various counties. These are made by the drainage commission only where such ditches will benefit state lands. Incidentally private lands are also benefited, and in such cases the cost is defrayed in part by assessing private lands according to the benefits. Lands owned by railroad companies are assessed like private roads. lands. During 1909 and 1910 the commission has constructed or has had under construction 15 state ditches, having an aggregate length of 460 miles, requiring an excavation of 6,828,378 cubic yards, costing $605,873.30, or an average of 8.8 cents per cubic yard. These ditches will drain and land 141,144,63 acres of state land and 402,640,81 acres of private lands at an average cost of $125 per acre. cost of $11.1 million. The policy of the commission has been to drain only such lands as immediately will become available for agricultural uses and lands requiring little clearing or other expense to bring under cultivation. The work to a large extent has been confined to localities in the proximity of railroads and trade centers and open meadows and marsh lands, the commission avoiding as far as practicable the drainage of lands where info of valuable growing timber would be undeveloped. would be constructed in ditches, public highways were constructed along the side of the ditch from the earth excavated from the ditch, wherever such construction was practicable. When drainage work was constructed for in the years 1809 and 1910 is completed, there will be 400 miles of graded roads along the several ditches, constructed at a small additional cost, the average cost being not more than one-half a cent per cubic yard, or $75 per mile of road. The commission, with the co-operation of the United States, geological survey, has made a topographical survey of a large area in Ottertall, Douglas, Grant, Traverse, Stevens, Pope, Swift and Big Stone counties. The same two departments have made surveys of the following waters in the state, for the purpose of devising plans for their improvements and preparing estimates of the cost of the work, to the end that drainage work may be facilitated and disastrous overflows prevented. Parts of the Minnesota Mustanka, Watowan, Elhambur, Relied, Codar, Chippewa, Long Prairie and Wild Rice rivers; Stony brook Denton county; Oklahoma creek, Jack county; a chain with rough Porcupine, Bright and Turtle lakes, Nile Lakes lake.

The legislature of 1309 appropriated $200,000 for the use of the state drainage commission. The commission says that if it again receives such a fund, it will be able to drain practically all drained state swamp land available at the present time for agricultural purposes. Anticipating further appropriations, the commission has caused surveys to be made and maps, plans and estimates prepared for several systems of ditches, which, if constructed, will drain 100,000 acres of state land and fully double that amount of private lands. All of this will become available immediately for agricultural purposes. The state drainage commission consists of Governor Eberhart, State Auditor Iverson and Secretary of State Schmalh. George A. Ralph is state drainage engineer. FISH THAT LOVE DYNAMITE Winsted (Conn.) Variety That Feed on High Explosive Are Not Wanted by Women. Winsted, Conn.—Highlaw lake fish are at a discount owing to the discovery that they dine on dynamite cord like it. and men. Workmen who are blasting in the neighborhood made the discovery by accident. Since then they have amused themselves by breaking little bits from dynamite cartridges and throwing these "crumbs" overboard to see the perch grab for them. House-keepers regard the experiment with disapproval. They fear the dynamite-fed fish would fry too notolely, and instead of rejoicing quietly on a plaster might suddenly decide to serve themselves on the ceiling. Wearing of Proper Colors Makes for Worldly Advancement, Says New Thoughtist. Denver, Colo.—Success and character are merely a matter of colors. If you want to be successful, wear a bit of exerald green. If you are nervous at a high strung, wear more blue and calm down. Also wear good clothes and mingle with rich people, even if you are not financially able to back up your fine "front." Opulence is a matter of vibrations and by mingling with the rich you will absorb their waves. These are a few of the theories advanced by Mrs. Elizabeth Severin, new thoughtist, who announces the establishment of the Psychological society of Denver. "If a man wants to know the essentials of a woman's character, all he has to do is note the colors she wears," she said. "Red signifies love, and persons fond of it are emotional and full of life. Orange stands for pride and ambition. Yellow signifies wisdom. Those who favor violet are spirituelle. "Black should never be worn under any circumstances. It is the negative of all things and depresses immeasurable." mature woman should not dress according to the shade of her hair, but should wear the colors that her temperament calls for. If she wants to please her mood, let her change her dress. Neuras her heels and antecues Dr. Hart Says Other Cities Are Closing Orphan Asylums and Putting Children in Homes. Chicago—"Chicago is far behind the east in the care of the orphan and neglected child, although the east took up and followed along the lines told down by Chicago years ago. laid down by Chicago "Orphan asylums in the future will be unheard of. In some states they have already disappeared. "Chicago must wake up and make haste along the lines originated by itself, by which other cities and states are prefixed." have plenty of settings H. Hart, who is an expert in the care of neglected children, spoke these words in an address before the City club the other day. "The east, especially Baltimore and Philadelphia, have developed at a remarkable pace, after following in the footsteps of Chicago," said the speaker. "Those cities have used family homes in providing for the motherless and fatherless and have closed up in asylum." their orphan is not kept up, with the pace. Chicago has not kept up, with the pace. Boston receives $125,000 a year for the support of its orphans. New York, exclusive of Brooklyn, is given $500,000 a year for the support of the children's society, while Philadelphia gives $85,000 for the same purposes. in- "New York City has $20,000,000 invested for the sake of these children, while Chicago has but one-half that were possibly three-quarters. sum, or possibly that the orphan asylums being closed in Massachusetts and twelve in Indiana." Dr. Hart, while declaring that Chicago was lagging behind in the matter of orphaned and neglected children, insisted that the orphan asylums now conducted in Chicago were excellent in every way and the finest institutions of the kind. But home and family life, he said, should be provided for the children and there should be no more asylums built in Chicago. should have a good share of their household furnishings in red. It should supply the color lacking in their makeup. Color of course is a mere question of vibration; and success is, too. If a woman wishes to succeed let her put on her rustling silk skirt and her ostrich plume and mingle with those who have already found success. The success vibrations are bound to radiate her way. It is so simple." Collegians. Down and Out. Oakland, Cal.-In an address before the students of the University of California on "College Men I Have Met in the Slums and Prisons of New York," C. M. Mercer, special secretary of the Association for Colleges of North America, said: "There are 12,000 college-bred men in New York alone who are down and out through liquor and fast living. There has been a marked decrease of the proportion of graduates who fail since the prevalence of college athletics amounting, I estimate, to 50 per cent." $30,000 for Moslen, University.

Constitution so as to permit the popular election of U. S. senators, with the several states (instead of congress) in control of elections, was killed the first of the week, and doubtless a good job, under the circumstances, done. The Sutherland amendment, preserving to congress the supervision of election of U. S. senators was included in the direct elections resolution as voted on and probably caused its defeat. The amendment was particularly objectionable to southern senators who want to complete the work of disfranchisement carried on so successfully in many states of the south, under unconstitutional "laws" which neither the U. S. Attorney General, the Supreme Court, the President nor Congress take proper cognizance of, or make any effort whatever to have declared null, and void—their sworn duty. Every one of the south's disfranchisement "laws" conflict with the fundamental law of the land, the U. S. Constitution, and rob thousands upon thousands of citizens in that section of the country of suffrage rights (or privileges) in federal elections at least, conferred by this same Constitution. It is high time the three branches of our government, executive, legislative and judicial, were doing their clear and sworn duty in the matter. The people, especially our people, should be vastly more active and incessant in their demand for proper and prompt action, than they are. We should be thoroughly organized, too, for this work. --- Colonial Meeting Houses in Winter. In winter the colonial meeting house was a cold place. It may be said that the congregation sat "shivering on the brink" of perdition, if the fry temperature of the house and the terrible doctrines of the sermon are to be taken together.

Mihholland, under the auspices of the Advancement of Colored People, at the Friends' Meeting House, Philadelphia, on Washington's birthday: "Trace the history of education down through all its various ramifications after the advent of Christianity and you will find, as Gibbon clearly demonstrates, that throughout the Roman world the education of youth has supported the development of Augustus and Marcus Aureolus down almost to Charles the First, the first in our modern world to establish schools by the state and usher in what Hallman aptly terms 'the golden age of universities,' and it is indeed a terrible indictment of our Republic that we should fail to recognize the importance of more than a thousand years ago, viz., that real lasting reform is impossible until the curse of illiteracy has been abolished. Were Charles alive today and in contemplation of our nation's shameful plight I can almost hear him say with characteristic emphasis: "If you want to clean up conditions in white as well as the black. The Negro's environment must be made better, more unprejudiced, more tolerant, more enlightened. If he is to have the full benefits of education and culture. Give the South good schools in abundance, good roads everywhere, and an administration of its affairs, firm and efficient, with reasonable probability, long experience, favors such a conclusion. "A church on every hill and a school house in every valley" was a cry that rang through the New England of brain, and conscience, but the regions of the United States, where a school bell is never heard, are depressing in their vastness and desolation in helplessness and misery. Well, what are we going to do about it? Are we to sit down in helpless contemplation and say with the Soudanese, "Klismit, it is the will of Allah," or are we to address ourselves to the task in thorough-going American work and in the work done? We have frightened any further sacrifice? Why longer handicap the lives of the little ones? A Federal Education Bill is the absolute imperious requirement of the situation, and the man or woman who does not realize this does not understand existing conditions or the way other petty, piecemeal, conventional means, and with what result? At least one whole State does not spend a dollar per capita annually for popular education, and it is stated by those who should know that even in Montgomery County, Alabama, only forty cents of income is required in the education of Colored children. Dr. Booker T. Washington himself confesses that Negro school teachers in that State actually receive less salary than is paid for many of the Alabama convicts. Nevertheless, within the last two years Alabama Negro boys successfully passed the Roles Scholarship, one of them beating no less than ten white competitors for the honor. Tallapoosa County is a fair example of the average hill county in Alabama. It has only three towns of more than 1,000 population. The report of the Alabama Department of Education, for 1906-7, states that the school population of Whites in Tallapoosa to be 7,273 and Blacks 4,196, or total 11,469. There were enrolled in the county during the school year 1906-7, 4,319 Whites and 1,655 Colored; total enrollment, therefore, 5,974. The average attendance of the White was 3,550 and Blacks 1,288, total being 4,788. The average length of duration of the White schools was 130 days and of the Colored schools 85 days. STILL ANOTHER CHARGED WITH LYNCHING. Newark, O.-James Marlow (whie) of Zanesville, was brought to this city Monday to answer to an indictment for first degree murder, in connection with the Etherington lynching. Marlow admits being in the city on that occasion. The special grand jury now in session probing further lynching evidence, has examined 400 witnesses to date, and is expected to report Wednesday. It is rumored there will be a number of indictments, several of well known people, including two women. HALTS BAND OF SETTLERS.

Walker, pres.; Mrs. B. M. Shook, vice; Mrs. Maud Whiting, sec.; Mrs. J. Chambers, asst.; Mrs. C. Hunicut, treas.; Program committee; Mrs. J. M. Gilmere, Mrs. Arthur Abbot and Mrs. Rose Whiting. At the time of her appointment as president, Mrs. Walker in discussing the "unfortunate local agitation in favor of a "jimrowcw" Y. M. C. A, said: "As a race we have not had the opportunity of other races in this country, but I pray that the time will come when we will have the same opportunities and stand shoulder to shoulder with every other class or race.

Let us not do anything to start such discrimination but do all we can to help keep it down. There is much that this intelligent club of ladies can do if it will, and I hope you will agree with me. At a later date, I may have more to say on this subject. Meantime I would like to hear from other members. Mrs. J. Walker's excellent discussion with me followed a general discussion which rounded out in the following set of resolutions bitterly opposing the establishment of a "jimrowcw" or separate Y. M. C. A. in this city; 1. Such a step is a backward movement. 2. It will only tend to bring about other discriminations, such as separate schools, cars, etc. 3. There is absolutely no need for 4. It could not and would not be supported, and would only be a disgrace 'to the, community. Furthermore it would not reach the very element persons advocating such a thing imagine it would help. 5. That there is no consistency in fighting discrimination and prejudice, and in asking for it. 6. That in consideration of the fact, that for 40 years we have been fighting to achieve what we have, that it would be unjust to ourselves, our sons, our families and our race, for the majority of our race in the city of Cleveland to sit down, with folded hands and allow the tew to make all the good that has been accomplished. Our sentiment is that this declaration of our belief that the police may know what attitude we take on this very important question.

The large audience, one of the largest of the season, liked it so well that more of the same was given, followed by ringing applause. The soloist of the day was Marinus Salomons, who played the "Emperor" concerto. He showed the "summertime" work of Beethoven, reading the second movement with a poetic tenderness and then launching into the rondo, gave it a merry swing of brilliance. 'At the last concert, on March 12, arrangements have been made for Carl Reimenschneider to play with the orchestra, and he has selected the big Grieg concerto, which should call out the biggest audience of the year. There is a possibility that this concert will be postponed one week. 'Arrangements are being made for the Singers' Club and the orchestra to give a big popular concert on Sunday, Mar. 19, er 26, after the close of the series. ALWAYS "RUNG TRUE."

We Crew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours With Embarrassment. ADVENTURES IN ARABIA EXTENDING across the whole of the Old World from Morocco to Manchuria there runs a great belt of waste land, a zone of country composed for the most part of sandy deserts, only broken here and there by a rich fertile valley or an isolated island. Arabia, Eastern Persia, Turkestan and Mongolian are the connectings in links in this great desert zone. The occurrence of such names at Natuf, which means "exhausted", Robl el Khali—the abode of enemies," and Gobi or Shamo—conveys to the mind only too clearly the character and climate of these Of these desert countries Arabia is the least known, and, therefore, the most interesting. Few people realize that Arabia, the great desert peninsula, though situated close to the western world, is still practically terra incognita." It is to all intents and purposes a closed country, for few travelers have attained the penetrate its deserts, and still fewer have succeeded, and the center of Arabia has been called "a lion's den," and it is certainly easier; to get into than to get out of. For a quarter of a century Arabia has been passed by and entirely neglected by explorers. This is not because Arabia is without interest, or that it is all a hopeless waste of sand, possessing neither inhabitants, nor history, but simply it is such a difficult place to travel in. On all of Arabia presents a hostile, factoid fact to the traveler. Fanaticism, pirate-hunted coasts, and safarism, robber-infested deserts are Arabs of the Desert. the drawbacks to travel in Arabia, and complete the isolation of the peninsula. Only the hem of Arabia is known. Aden, Mecca and Muscat probably the only place that the majority of people connect with Arabia, one of the few countries left of the explorer, holds out that greatest of all attractions to the adventure—the hostility of the inhabitants, loe, barriers guard the pole, flewers and swamps long held Central Africa impregnable, but added to the natural difficulties of Arabian travel: is the determination of the inhabitants to keep out strangers. It is as "forbidden" a land as ever, Tibet was. Indeed, it offers to the traveler the minimum of danger and discomfort and the minimum of reward. ; Over the immense area of deserts only one form of existence is possible—nomadism. In Arabia, the barrenest of all countries on earth; nomadism is found in its purest form. In such a land of nakedness man can only exist by constantly changing his abode and seeking pasture for his flock in different localities. Two thirds of the population of Arabia is nomadic. A scarcity of water and lack of food, variable rainfall and therefore a changing pasture, forces a nomadic life on the inhabitants of barren lands. in Arabia Nature seems to show herself in her most cruel form. Sand deserts of the most utter desolation, mountains of black lava and red sand, stone, and horrid volcanic tracts most difficult to travel over are features of nature. The fact that the whole peninsula is lacking in flowing water, coupled with the powers of the vegetation, renders the conditions of life difficult in the extreme. The nomad's existence is a continual and relentless struggle with Nature. His environment has made him cruel and warlike; of the desert, he has entered into his soul and made him bitten all men. ter townships. These empty places, with their wild tribes of wanderers, have always exe- sured an extreme fascination for me. It is easy for civilized man to run wild, and after a year of travel in the steppes and plateaux of Central Asia I continued my journey into Arabia in order to become acquainted with the nomad tribes of that region—the pure Bedouin. The Arabs are true Islamices, and have no definite abode; their life is THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. SATURDAY. MARCH 4. 1911. a constant wandering. They never cultivate the soil, but live entirely on the produce of their hords. Their tents are therefore adapted to their restless life, quickly taken down or put up and easy of transport. They are made of wood, soosely incorporated on poles by very long guy-ropes. They are sufficient, however, to protect occupants from the hot sun, but not from the rain, and in winter the encampments are the most uncomfortable places imaginable to live in. The women occupy one-half, the men the other, partitioned of brightly-colored curtains. The average tent measures twenty yards by six. At the best of times the Bedouins are half-starved, camels' milk and bread being the staple food, but all day long, they appease their hunger by sliping strong black coffee. On occasion a feast takes place, especially on the return of the men from a successful hunt, and then there is a constant wandering. When necessity arises the tribe to migrate, which is very often, for grazing is not sufficient in any one place to support their immense herds of camels for any length of time, the whole tribe moves at once. Early in the morning the tents are taken down by the women and rolled up in bales with which they load up the camels with other household impediments. When the camels are laden the small children are lifted on to the top of the loads, and, all being in readiness, the migration begins. The great tribe, divided up into groups and families scattered over the desert moves off in search of new pastures. Early in the morning the herds had been taken. These are now followed by camels camels laden with the tents, camp kit, and small children. The women walked by the side, or rode perched on the top of the tent loads, singing Bedouin songs as they moved, heedless of their poverty but reveling in their freedom. The men rode far in advance or at the rear, on the look-out for enemies, and scouting the country in search of pasture. Sometimes they indulged in a course of greyhounds after securing camelz. It is a fine sight to see a large tribe on migration, imbued with the spirit of "divine unrest." When the tribe reaches a well, the camel herds are watered quickly, and the tribe moves off, never camping beside the well. As of old, the most frequent causes of quarrel are the waterings. Robbers he in wait at wells in order to catch enemy strangers coming to drink. Around every well that saw there was an ominous hideyard. During a journey of over seven hundred miles I found but five wells, but the supply of water in these was almost unlimited. Eventually, when the chief finds a suitable grazing ground he lights a fire as a signal to the rest of the tribe, who are scattered in a large stretch of desert. A smoke of the fire shows the undersers the direction of their chief's tent; then they gather round and pitch their own in groups. In this arid, inhospitable land there is scarcely substance enough to support human life, and even what there is has to be wrested from Nature. Flocks need grazing, and as the herds increase they need more extensive pastures. The men therefore fight for the best and widest pasturages, and also to secure larger herds of camels. Although the Arab's life is one of supreme idleness, given up to the breeding of his herds, yet the desert air is not conducive to rest. The Bedouins lie in their tents for a week at a time; then the fit comes on and they collect in bands of 60 or 100 individuals and go off. On a marauding expedition. They are daring robbers, and their one elevation from the dull monotony of life is systemate thieving. These raiding parties render the whole of Arabia unsafe, and are the terror of all travelers. The bands are composed of from 20 to 150 men. Mountains on swift dromedaries, armed with breeching-loading rifles, carrying food and water for many days, they are the most mobile warriors to the world. rivers in the Arabian travel is only possible by means of camels. The prancing Arab speed is a moth to the traveler in the peninsula. I never saw a horse woolly looking at in those desert regis- tics; indeed, I cannot see how horses could be bred to perfection in such berbess land. Without the camel life would be impossible. The "humpy herds" are the sole products of the desert, and on them one must wander from well to well if one determine to brave this most inhospitable and dangerous of journeys. Camels form the chief concern of the Arab's exist- ence; they supply him with all his wants, tents, food, clothing, and transport, hence the breeds are well selected and pedigrees carefully kept Poetry and Prose.

WHERE FIGHT RAGED Cask Rook Marks Historic Maine Battleground. Was the Landing Place of American Troops and Is Named for a Drummer in the War of 1812. Portland, Me.-Popular as a summer resort, and teeming with interesting bits of historical notes, bordering on Penobscot bay waters, it was little town of Castine, Me. It was once surrounded by water, by reason of the traches due by the British while the territory was in their hands in it, but it is now part of the mainland. The town has relies and historical bits of interest, forts of French, British and American build, and an old blockhouse, all of which linger the historian. One of the most interesting of these old sites is "Trask rock," once called "Hinkley's rock." It is situated on the western shore. It is the landing place of the Americans at the time of the Penobsset expedition, when they made an attempt to capture, possession of the Island. secure rock is of a peculiar whiteness. It is large and shows, made conspicuous by a background of bowed and a preface. It is stunted about halfway between the point where the blockhouse was located during the war, and the front of the lighthouse on Dyne Head. This side of the island, being weakly protected by the Americans were enforced to make a successful landing. The landing took place on the night of July 28. The weather was damp, and a slight swell tossed the vessels as they moored along the coastline just beyond the reach of the British muskety on shore. About three o'clock in the morning preparations were made for a landing for about 400 men in the screen of the firing for about 400 men and militia landed on and on the Marask rock. A section of the landing force was under command of Captain Hinkle, who landed on the Trask rock as the British opened fire, urging his men on up the step bank. He was killed in the rush by a shot fired from the side of the enemy on the Trask long bore his name. "Hinkle rock" took him until after years, when he Mr. Trask, who was a drummer in the Amerikan ranks, visited the town Trask Rock. He had played marital abs all through the fight and the name was changed to Trask rock in commemoration of his bravery. Trask at the time of the war was a boy of eighteen, and long after the war he visited the rock and the harbor and told the story, he said that more hun 100 boys were lost on the American side in that fight out of about 400 engaged. In the year 1828 the Dyce's Head lighthouse was built on the north side of the entrance to the harbor, being named after the first settler in that part of the town. It was originally built of wood and was very shabby constructed. It became the need of repairs that made it in turn down and another one built in its place. The head was properly named for John Jacob Dyce, who owned it in 1775. THE OLD CUMBERLAND ROAD It is Now Proposed to Reconstruct the Famous Pike, Nearley 800 Miles In Length. Baltimore, MD.-The old Cumberland land is attracting attention to itself in the various states through which it passes and there is a growing appreciation of its historical value. Some of the states have undertaken more or extensive repairs along the distant thoroughfare. Pennsylvania is resurfacing her part of it and many of the counties in Ohio and Indiana are doing what they can to增进 the great highway, which in its day was by far the most important in this country. It has even been suggested that the federal government might be persuaded to co-operate with the states in a scheme for the reconstruction of the famous plike all the way from Cumberland, Md. to its western terminus at St. Louis. Nearly $80 miles in length and following an almost perfectly straight course from Atlantic tidewater to the Mississippi river it would furnish a magnificent pathway for automobiles. If this shall be accomplished the cold road will again become a busy thoroughfare. "Averns will open their hospitable doors at frequent intervals along its length, as in the ancient days, and then in the present in the palm of the Alleghegy mountain, which is awakened by the cheerful hailing of motor herds—just as in former times they responded to the merry footing of the coach guards' camppets. It would become the fashion for automobile parties to "do the pike," the long straightaway stretches of which would afford most attractive opportunities to it in a gasoline car might be deemed worth taking for the mere sale of the extriforidally pleasurable and beautiful scenery. ZELAYA WAS BRUTAL SLAYER Uncle Sam Now Ready to Punish Ex-President of Nicaragua If He's Caught. Washington.—The United States department of state has a secret report, which places an entirely new light on the execution of Leroy Cain and Leonard and who were shot upon the orders of former President Jose Santos Zolaya during the recent rebellion in Nicaragua. As a result of this report the deposed President Zolaya, now at large in Europe, if captured and brought back to Nicaragua, may be treated as a murderer, and a vigorous lesson given the warring Central American countries relied upon to the rights of American citizens. The general impression had been that Gross and Cannon were caught within the lines of the enemy and were treated as spies, in accordance with the laws of war. This southeast heightened by misleading newspaper reports and by the statement of one of victims, that it "the fortune of war." On the contrary, it appears that Gross and Cannon were captured while asleep, that they were not spying, that Former President Zelaya. they had not attempted to blow up a barge with dynamite as originally requested, that they were shot upon the direct order of Zelaya, that they were given only a tactical trial, and that they were captured to the ordinary treatment of combatants captured in war. Of the men who constituted the court martial, one is dead and the other has disappeared. Zelaya, the man responsible, whose order resulted, in the death of the two adventurers Americans, is a marked man and may never return to Nicaragua, nor to any portion of the world where the United States is influence. "Courmartial and shoot at once," was the first order given by Zelaya, and when the court hesitated he finally sent the order "shoot them immediately." This last telegram how is laid to be in the hands of the government of the United States. The story is a recital of one of the most outrageous exhibitions of high-landed power ever known, even in the semi-barbaric Central American republic. This is not only evidence which the state government has against the deposed Nicaraguan tyrant. It is told of that he exercised the absolute power of a Nero. The present government of Nicaragua has promised to make amends to the relatives of Gross and Cannon in the payment of money to their relatives. But the American government will not regard the ends of justice as having been carried out, so long as Celaya is at liberty. WONDERFUL MEXICAN ESTATE Great Farm Which Is Said to Have No Equal In Size and Value. City of Mexico.—The splendid estate of Don Luis Terrazas, in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, is probably without equal. Terrazas is said to own the greatest farm in the world. His estate includes 5,000,000 acres of fertile land and extends 150 miles east and west and 200 miles north and south. On its mountains and through its valleys roam over 700,000 horses, 700,000 horses, he has been tended by an army of 2,000 horsemen, herdsmen and shepherds and hunters. Each year at least 150,000 head of cattle and 100,000 sheep are slaughtered, dressed and packed, this ranch being the only one in the world which maintains its own slaughtering and packing plant. On this gigantic estate are five reservoirs, which cost $500,000, and 300 wells, which cost over another $500, 000. Don Luis Terrazas is a scientific farmer, and raises every kind of grain in his great fields. His homestead is described in the housebook. It is capable of modulating 500 guests at a time, and was erected at an expense of $230,000,000. It is a veritable country palace. On the homestead alone are employed over 100 male servants. FARMER CUTS OFF HIS ARM deronically Severs It With pocketknife When Member Is Caught in Corn Shredder. Springfield, Ohio—Charles Deaton, a farmer living near Addison, heroically cut off his arm with a pocketknife, as it lay crushed and bleeding in a corn shredder he was operating, and to that act owes his life. After the arm became fustened in the maiden Deaton called for assistance, but no one came to help him. Realizing that his arm was opened on his freeing himself, he opened his pocketknife and deliberately cut away the crushed flesh and bone, which held the arm fast, and freed himself. Indian Buried His Wife Head Down. Tescon, Ariz.—Because his wife would not get up and give him medicine, Antonio Teocoleo, a Yaqui Indian, crushed her head with a hammer and buried her, head downward, in the yard in his home here. He considered the woman his personal property and falls to understand why he is charged with murder. Change of Heart By DONALD ALLEN The family of Judge Winters had known the family of Colonel Bellelire for years and years. That meant that Fred Bellelire and Agnes Winters had known each other as boy and girl. The fathers hadn't settled it. After their wine and cigars that they should be a marriage. In fact, the two young people didn't take to each other well. It was only in after years, when Fred had finished college and Miss Winters was in society, that there was any feeling stronger than acquaintanceship. It was not necessary that young Bellelire should choose a profession. He had been left money, and he drifted, along as other rich young men do—the clubs travel—Newport—golf-autoing and the races, and in the intervals he spent this time admiring Agnes Winters and falling in love with her. On their side, she liked her, so she had no stronger feeling. She was a bit of a bride and had old-fashioned notions. "Oh, come on, if you understand know," I don't. When you enter Hattling Bellelire, Agnes, you are old and old for the mayor of the enjoey. Your own father "My father is str, and there is must answer in hope that you in the hope in you," say, now.

"I have thought," she said when the week had expired and he was back for his answer. "When you are going to decide against me," he whispered as he read her answer in her face. "I am, and I want to give you my reasons. You are a butterfly—a fitterer. You have accomplished nothing, and you have nothing in view. Aside from the society journals, you are a nomenity." If you say go to the south pole I'm ever stoutly satisfied Fred. "You water on the races and other things. You play for high stakes at the club. You have the gambling spirit in you." "but I almost always win." "Then it's even worse. You're got money, but you throw it in the A In 30 Seconds He Was Down and Out. Most reckless manner. You are senselessly extravagant.

Why should a gentleman learn how to pound any one with his flats? No gentleman is ever attacked: Should he be, he carries a cane to defend himself with, or if he calls the man, Neither your father nor has had to resort to such a greetice as boxing." Fred Bellaire could have told her that he had seen the judge and the colonel knocking each other about at the gymnasium at 50 years of age, and having a lot of fun out of it, too; but he knew there was more coming, and he was making ready for it. "And hastily," continued Miss Bellaire, "she sat in the paper one at the table among the list of attackers at a club where a prize fight was held. It's there in plain print. The next thing you will be figuring as one of the principals. I do not care to be the wife of a prize fighter." Sport in British Columbia The coast range of mountains of British Columbia contains an abundance of black and grizzly bears, to be found in the spring on the open slides, where the young grass first begins to drift, and in the late summer along the small creeks that afford the salmon crowd to swim, and afford an abundant food supply for the bears before hold up for their long winter sleep. Here, too, the quant mountain goat and the little black-tailed deer are more numerous than in any part of the province, quite sufficiently protected by the inaccessible nature this forbidden range of mountains thousand miles in width, mostly unexplored in, practically impenetrable to any distance from salt water or the navigable stretches of the incoming streams. The white man in his motor boat and the Indian, in his canoe may harry the outskirts of this district; but until the perfection of "my father is not under discussion, str, and there is no more to discuss. I must answer no to your proposal and hope that you can change a change in your life." "Say, now, Agnes, you can't mean it, let's because a fellow—" I'll be proud to excuse me, Mr. Bulle- l. I beg you to excuse me, Mr. Bulle- l. Whether Fred went away or sat down and resolved to become an angel is really not known. He managed somehow to live through it and society didn't notice any great falling off in weight and appetite. It was three months after he had received his cone and his boxing-master had said that he was in excellent condition when he motored out Westchester way to see an old chick. On that very day Miss Agnes Winters had started out in his manhole for a blot of a spin. The two had not met since that evening. For a month afterwards she had been upheld by conscience. Then a still, small voice began to trouble her by asking if she hadn't been too hard on Fred. She had almost come to the conclusion that she has and she wanted to be out in the city and alone to settle the matter with herself. queues after a smooth run of two miles the runabout came to a halt. They do that sometimes. Then it is clearly the duty of the driver to find out why and go an again. Miss Winters was finding out why when three men from the bushes rushed out of her. She was wearing a dunlion at her throat and they had a right to believe that her gloves concealed valuable rings. He fed Bellaire on the scene. He wasn't aching to be a hero, but it was forced on him. His auto came up in such a cloud of dust that he didn't at first recognize the girl who was screaming and battling. The three men threw her beside to meet the rescuer. They were a tough trio. In place of running away, they made a light of them. Miss Agnes climbed back into her. Miss Fred's chauffeur down behind the car he was. The toughs must be given credit for fairness. Had they rushed Fred he must have gone down, but they didn't. They gave Liam time to peel off coat and waltsteed and then one of them stepped forward with fists up. In 30 seconds he was down and out. The second one lasted about a minute. "Good!" exclaimed the third as he came forward. "You are a great little man. It months since I had a scrap and I'm thankful you came along. It's Queensberry rules to govern and may the best man win. If that driver of yours hasn't swallowed his teeth let him get as timekeeper." Did Miss Agnes jump out and run down the road screamter? Did she sit, there with her hands ever her face? Not quite. She sat there open-eyed and watched the prostit little scrap that ever took place on a highway. Fred never looked her way, even during the rest between rounds. The two men who had been knocked out recovered in due time and sat up and watched the fun. The light was as fair as a ring battle, the companies giving and taking and smiling as they got in or received the light of battle was in their eyes and the joy of contest in their hearts and the girl sat there and noted every move. Flvg-six—six rounds. She even counted them, though she never would admit it afterwards. And then, just at the close of the eleventh round, Fred settled matters with a blow on the point of the chin and he stood puffing and blowing and leaning against the wheel of his auto when snapped for a few seconds and then awoke to nod to his fellow. Then the three disappeared. When they had disappeared called out. "Fred, please come here!" "Fred, please come here!" "Yes?" he answered as he advanced. "I'll think I have undergone a change of heart. I shall be pleased to have you call this evening. Never mind your black eye and skinned nose!" Fred called. That Elusive Line.

"John, are you still down here?" called Mrs. Stubb from the top of the stairway. "Yes, I'm still here," bellowed John in his most sarcastic vein. "Dear me! You'd never do as a gunner in the navy." "Gunner, in the navy! Why not?" "Because you are such a poor range finder." And then what Mr. Stubb said about ranges in general would fill an encyclopedia. The Real Reason. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the government's food expert, was discussing in Washington the fall in the price of meat. "The reasons given us for this fall are ludicrous," said Dr. Wiley. "They are as ludicrous as the young woman's reason for avoiding tight lacing "Is tight lacing unwise" her teacher asked this young woman is a physiology lesson. "Yes, it is very, unwise," was the reply. "Why is it unwise?" the teacher pursued. "Because it busts the corset," said the young woman."
