A commers is a German stag, where
beer is free in unending streams. and the

roughly constructed boaid tables running
the length of the building. and seated
about them were 4G0 men. In every

POVERTY TO POWER
How Emily Keene, an Eng
1iSh Governess, Became
the Sherifa of
Morocco.
HER HUSBANDS POSITION AND INFLUENCE
Life of the Women of the Army
Odd ColOrs and Their
Odd Names.
HER HUSBANDS POSITION AND INFLUENCE

There is now a fair prospect that at
half English lad will become sheriff of
Wazan, and virtual dictator of the policy
of Morocco The lad is the oldest son OF
an English governess, who married the
sheriff nineteen years ago, and his name
is Mulai Ali Ben Abdesalam Ell
Wazani. Ben simply means "son OF"
and so his real name is not so long as
first view it seems. The whole family
history is curious and romantic.
To begin with, the Sultan of Morocco Is
simply monarch, with some religious
powers attached, while the Sheriff is Il re
ligious and tribal chief with some polit-
ical power an immense influence and
pedigree so long and honorable that the
Sultan OF Morocco Is parvenu IN COM
parison and the Sultan OF Turkey would
yield him a certain precedence. He IS
titular chief priest and prophet OF the
Mulai Taib, a Mohammedan sect which
dates from the ninth century; he has four
or five palaces and an income OF about
10000 year.
About twenty years ago there was in
Tangier an English governess named
Emily keeue, who won his henrt and mar
red him on condition she should be his
only wife. He was faithful to his promise
for many years. and even after he took
some young wives and concubines,
she retained her influence IN the
government. She has Two sons, who
are believed by ths people to have
the same gifts of healing and prophecy
as their father. Some time ago the sheriff
was inveigled by the French to the city
of Algiers. where he is living in great
style at their expense. Meanwhile the
sherifa, his English wife, IS training her
sons for their future duties.
The French want to extend their rail-
road through the oasis of Touat, and
claim the sheriff has jurisdiction
over it, while the English, who
are gaining a strong foothold in
Morocco, claim that 1T belongs to
the sultan of that country. and Spain
hints that she is willing to give up her
rights in Morocco for possession of Gibral-
ter. The whole situation is curiously
complicated, and when the sultan drops
off as lie soon must, and the scramble of
Europeans for control of Morocco be-
gins, the sheriff may have the de-
cisive vote. Both French aud
English seem to have decided that the
best way to reach and redeem the Soudan
is by a railroad across the Sahara, and the
rapid development of civilization in that
part of the world is large element in the
romance of current history.
