BARGAINING IN ALGIERS.
Beating Shopkeeper Down From Forty
to Fourteen Dollars.

Beating a Shopkeeper Down From Forty
to Fourteen Dollars.
You select your goods with slow delib-
Grafton, pile them up together casually
in a little heap, eye them askance with
an inquiring glance, and take contem-
plative pull or two at the inspiring weed
in solemn silence, says writer in the
Gentleman S Magazine. Mohammed Ali
responds with puff from his cigarette
in grave concert. Then you walk once
or twice up and down the piazza slowly,
and, jerking your head with careless
ease in the direction of your selected pile,
you inquire, as if for abstract reasons
merely, in an off hand tone, your. Mos
lens friends lowest cash quotation for
the lot as it stands.
Two hundred francs is the smallest
price. Mohammed Ali paid far more
than that himself for them. He sells
simply for occupation it would seem.
Look at the work, monsieur. All craven
brass, not mere repousse metal, or real
old chain-stitch, alike on both sides
none of your wretched, common
place, modern machine made embroid-
cry.
You smile incredously,. and remark
with a nod that your Moslem friend must
surely be in error. A mistake of the
press For 200 francs read 90 francs.
Mohammed Ali assumes an expressive
attitude of virtuous indignation and re-
sumes his tobacco. Fifty francs for all
that lot Monsieur jests. He shows
himself very poor judge indeed Of
values.
Half an hours debate and ten success
sive abatements reduce the lot at least to
fair average price seventy francs. Mo-
manned declares you have robbed him
of all his profit, and pockets his cash
with inarticulate grumblings in the Arab
tongue. Next day you see in the Rue
Bab-Azzoun that you have paid him at
least 20 francs too much for your sup
posed bargain.

A Peculiar Game Revealed by Shooting
Case In Arkansas.

A letter from Basesville. Ark, to the
Globe Democrat SAYS: For some months
the country about Melton's has been i'm
tested by bold and daring band of horse
thieves which has defied detection. Pub
lie gossip connected the name of Miss
Hetty Turner. who later became better
known as "Sorrel Sue, with the gang,
as its supposed leader. She was given
the latter name because she always APP
peared in public riding sorrel horse
peculiarly marked with dark face
She is not remarkably beautiful, but
she is what is very rare in this country,
being bleached blonde, and her excel
lent horsewomanship and her dashing
manner brought her many admirers. Two
of her admirers, both members of the
gang, fought for her favor. One was killed,
aud the survivor, Duke Boland, was
severely woun ded. A surgeon was sent
for from this place He mistook the di-
rection, and walked into the cabin occu-
pied by ~Sorrel Sue Before he could
be hustled out he saw certain things
which aroused his suspicious. These he
reported TO Sheriff Simcoe, who with a
posse managed TO surround the den of
the horse thieves, capturing Sue and two
of her gang.
The Sheriff, though pleased with the
capture, was more than elated at the dis
covery of the peculiar method of dis
guising the stolen animals adopted by the
gang. He found that Sue had applied
the means of bleaching her own hair to
that of the horses. When the posse en-
tered they found horse enveloped in a
Jacket made out of rpober coats, being
treated to a sulphur vapor bath. The
appliances were very ingenious and
worked very wen. A black or bay horse
would be stolen and run into the bleach
cry. After its color was changed and its
tail and name trimmed the disguise be-
came so pronounced that without any
risk the animal could be taken in day
light through the very district from
which it had been stolen.
