IN SPEAKING Of the land act,
President Dole says it is made
comprehensive from the fact that it
takes the place of all statutes upon
the subject. Mr.. Dole points out
that the first five sections of the
bill constitute the law in main, the
rest of the act being explanatory.
The President says that criticism
of the act is desired and that the
purpose is simply to provide law
that will protect the interests of all
whose rights are involved and Ell

THE Labor Commission does
better with the subject of cooper
alton and profit sharing" Its
account of the coffee industry was a
rather weak production. Under
the head of cooperation and profit
sharing the Commission presents
a considerable quantity OF testi-
monv from first hands. This evil
dence is in the form of statements
from plantation managers VINO
have made trials of share enter
prises. At Eva and several other
places there has been profit to the
men and estate owners. In a
number of instances cited failures
have been recorded. The conclu-
sion reached by the Commission Is
that until the small operators are

ing: O Abu-l-Hasan! Dost thou not fear
God? What son brought up as thou hast
been beateth or withstandeth his mother?
And he said: She is none other than an
ill-omened sorceress and | am the Prince
of the Faithful, whereupon they said:
This man hath become mad! and not
doubling his insanity they fell Upon him
and bound him and dragged him away to
the hospital for those who are mad, and
they beat him with a bullwhip daily and
chained him by the neck to wall and
dosed him with abominabe medicines,
making him a mailman in spite of himself.
And he remained thus, naked and in an I'M
fortunate condition forthe space of ten days,
meditatlng upon his case and seeking for
an understanding of that which had be-
fallen him. And at the end OF ten days
his mother came in to him and said: o
nv son, fear God in thy conduct If thou
vert the Prince of the Faithful thou
wouldst not be in this predicament. And
when he heard what his mother said, he
replied: By Allah Thou hast spoken
truth. 1t seemeth that was only asleep
and dreamed that they had made me
khaleefeh. Reason had returned and in
toxication had fed from him, and he re-
mem bered that he had beaten his mother
with an almond stick, and he said: | beg
forgiveness of God fer the actions COM
mitted by me.
They therefore took him forth from the
madhouse and took him to the BATH and
when he had recovered his health he made
a feast and repaired again to the bridge in
search of a boon-companion. And 1t so
happened that the Prince of the Faithful
came again that way. disguised as mer-
chant for he had sought Abu-l-Hasan from
the time of his confinement, but had not
seen him. And when Abu-I-Hasan saw
him he said: A. friendly and a free and
an ample welcome to thee, O, King Of the
jam. So FIR Raschid said: What have 1
done to thee? And he said: What
more couldst thou have done, o filthiest
of the jam? for through thee | suffered
madness, and have beaten my mother, and
the neigho Crs have seen my folly. There
fore, depart from me and go thy way.
The Khaleefeh smiled at this and said
courteously: o my brother, when | went
out from thee l inadvertently left the door
open, and probably the devil went in to
thee. So Abu-l-Hasan related to him all
that had happened, and Err Raschid could
hardly conceal his laughter. But he said !:
Praise God that | again see thee in pros
perity, and | was at least the means of thy
obtaining thy desire on the Imam and
the four sheykhs. I desire therefore that
| may be thy guest again this night. But
Abu-l-HaSan said: He that stumbleth
against stone and returneth to 1t is to be
blamed and reproached. And E. Raschid
said: Perhaps something will happen to
delight thy heart more than did the ac-
complishments of thy desire upon the
Imam. At length Abu-l-Hasan said On
condition that thou swear by the inscrip-
ton upon the seal of Sulyman, the Son
of Daood ION both of whom be peace),
that thou wilt not suffer thy efreets
TO make sport of me. and Err Raschid said

of the richest viands, and he was waited
upon by the female slaves and male and
female attendants beyond number, and
the slave girls stood behind his head, and
Abu-l-H asan looked toward one and said:
What is thy name? And she answered:
Kadeeb-el- Ban. And he SAID to her: 0
Kadeeb-el- Ban, who am 1? Thou art the
Prime of the Faithful, she answered. But
he replied: Thou liest. By Allah! Ye
girls are laughing at me. So she said:
Fear Allah! o Prince of the Faithful.
This is thy palace and these glrls are thine.
And upon this he said within himself:
This is no great thing to be effected by
God, to whom he ascribed might and glory!
Then the slave girls led him to the drink
ing chamber where he saw what aston
ished the mind and he continued to say to
himself: No doubt these are of the jam,
and this person who was my guest is one
OF the kings of the jam, who hath encom-
passed this matter upon me. May Allah
deliver me from them happily. And the
slave girls piled him with wine in abun-
dance, and one of them put into his cup
lozenge of benz, and when it had settled
in his stomach he fell back senseless.
Then Err Raschid gave orders to carry
him to his own home and to place him on
his bed, and this was done, for he was still
IN state of insensibility, and when he
awoke in the latter part of the night, and
found himself in the dark he called out to
the slave girls: Kadeeb-el-B and o
Shejeret-ed-Dur and his mother arose
and came. saying: What aileth thee,
my son? What hath befallen thee?
And he regarded her intently. with
auger in his gaze, saying: 0 ill-omened
old woman, who art thou that addresseth
the Prince of the Faithful in these express
sions? She answered: | am thy mother,
0 my son. But he said: Thou Hest. |
am none other than the Prince of the
Faithful. And she was alarmed and be-
gan to pronounce spells and charms and
said to herself: Doubtless he went not
to rest save with his door open, and the
devil hath entered and hath condemned his
reason. And to divert his mind she began
to tell him of what had transpired in the
quarter on the preceding day, and of the
hundred pieces of gold she had received
from the khaleefeh, and of what had be-
fallen the Imam and the four sheykhs.
And when Abu-l-Hasan heard her words
his soul nearly quilted his body, and he
cried out: | am he who gave orders to
beat the sheykhs, and who sent thee the
hundred pieces of gold with my salutation,
and / am verify the Prince Of the Faith
full!
And he arose against his mother and
beat her with an almond stick so that she
cried out: O Muslin.s! and the neighbors
heard her cry and came to her relief, say
