BEING GOOD,

Brother Gardner Discovers That There

Oar am sunthin' bout bein' good

The common flying squirrel (Sciatr-

the closely-furred flying membrane ex-

is densely furred, and is quite fiat.

THE MAHDi'S PREMIER,

An Exalted Position Held by a French
Newspaper Man.
The Mahdi is willing to use foreign
ers when they can be of service to him.
Much of his recent success is supposed
to be due to his chief officer, Olivier
Pain, handsome, dashing Bohemian
who commenced his career on the
Paris press. Pain was prominent in
the Commune and was captain in the
Franco-Prussian war. Later in 1873
Marshal Mcmahon sent him with
Rochefort, editor of La La7ate47ae, and
other Communists to the penal colony
of New Caledonia. He was one of the
little band that escaped from there in
1875 and came to this country. Then
with Rochefort he went to London and
published several newspapers. From
London they went to Geneva, where
IL IntTd12SigeG79t was edited for circuIa-
ton in Paris. During the war between
Russia and Turkey Pain was among
the first correspondents on the ground.
but soon began to take an active part
on behalf Of the latter country both by
counsel and arms. He was taken
prisoner by the Russians, suspected of
being spy and condemned to be shot;
but there being great doubt that he
was one, and the fact that he was a
Frenchman, saved him. After a severe
Imprisonment he returned to Paris on
the granting OF general amnesty to
the Communists and wrote for several
of the leading newspapers. On the
breaking out of the war in Egypt he
was sent there as correspondent at his
own request, as he seemed never to be
so happy as when in the midst of tur-
MOL and excitement. While there he
changed his mission and formed that
brilliant idea of penetrating to the
camp of the Mahdi, which he alone
succeeded in doing of all the CORE
spondents sent to Egypt, and this in
the face of the almost insurmountable
obstacles and in spite of hardships and
terrors which would have appalled, the
heart of any other man but Pain
