Mysterious Timbuctoo.

A city long surrounded by mystery is
Tim Ductoo, in the western Soudan BY
looking on a map of Africa you will find it
little north of the Niger river A writer
tells in Golden Days that Timbuctoo was
visited by Europeans but five times in $50
years. The first visitor was Paul Imbert,
French sailor, who in 1880 was ship
wrecked on the African coast, fell into the
hands of the Arabs and was carried TO
Tim ouctoo as a slave. He died in bondage,
leaving no record Of his experiences. In
1925 Major Laing, an Englishman, COM
miss oned to explore the Niger river,
ssed the desert from Tripoli, reached
TimDuctoo in 1926 and was there murdered,
leaving no record of his visit.
Nothing daunted, Rene Caille, an adven-
turo1s Frenchman, in 1928 started from
Sene gambia to explore the secrets Of the
mysterious city. He learned Arabic and
the customs of the Arabs and in the guise
of pilgrim travelled by slow stages and
made his way inland through various Mo
hamnedan tribes. Finally he reached the
forbidden city, where he spent some time,
and when he returned to Morocco and
thence to Paris he told the story of his
travels
Twenty-Five years later Doctor Barth, a
German savant, entered Timbuctoo and
confirmed Cables reports Then the city
remained isolated, as before, until Doctor
Oscar LEM, another German explorer, en-
tered its confines in 1880, and from his
recently published work it is learned that
Timbuctoo is a big market, a meeting
place of traders, where the products of the
south are exchanged for those of the north,
but It is not likely to develop into large
city, unless under European influences.
There are, however, indications that Tim
buctOo will soon cease to be a mysterious
city, as the French, descending the Niger
in gunboat, have twice reached the en-
virons of the town in the past three years

The Mandarin and His Rat,

A mandarin once caught rat
Upon sunny day,
And thought he'd teach him little trick,
To pass the time away.
BE gave his cunning captive cheese
The captive liked the fun;
And soon, attired in soldier clothes,
He learned to shoot gun.
The children all would crowd around,
And clap their hands and grin,
To see the rodent roll hoop
To please the mandarin.
Full soon that rat with little sticks
Would drum upon pan;
Or lightly skip across rope
With parasol and fan.
The rat he liked the mandarin,
The mandarin the rat:
And when his day of tricks was done,
He'd sleep within his hat.
They grew at last to be good friends,
And liked each other well;
And thus they lived together long
How long / cannot tell.
