Like the Mahdi, Abdullah wished to
destroy even the recollection of the old

This is the reason that they DESTROYED
so many of the Old towns which had
attained some measure of prosperity
under the Egyptians. Old Berber was
deserted and a new Berber was built
by the Khalifa's command just north
of the old town. This is the reason and
the only one why by far the finest city
in tropical East Africa was laid in

day thereafter the work of demolition
began. Houses were pulled down the

Were They Both Rude2

A Senator of the United States, q
man who has been ih public life foi
many years, and who has never been
regarded as Of a hasty or Belligerent
temper, sometimes narrates to bis
friends an incident which amuses them
by its unlikeness to anything they
would have expected frem him.
He was travelling on German rail
way, and was one Of three persons whe
were locked into a small compartment,
which had two windows.
At one eff the windows sat the Sem.
tor, while at the other sat d "big-mous-
tached, warlike" man, apparently some
member Of the resident nobility. The
American had his window open, and
was gazing at the landscape and sniff.
1ng the air, when all at once the maA
with the soldierly moustache rose,
stepped forward, and without q word
Of apology, put down the window.
The Senator was astonished, OF
course; but what could he say2 There
are some kinds Of insolence which it is
hard to know how to deal with
However, the American statesman
rose to the occasion. Instead Of undo
ing what the German had done, he
stepped to that gentleman's seat ana
put his window up.
Whether this was In all respects a
proper thing to do, Is d point as te
which opinions may differ. One thing
Is certain; it was now the second mans
turn to be astonished. His mouth re-
mained shut, and his window remained
open.
Throughout the scene, so far as can
be gathered from the Washington Post,
where we find the story, not a word
was uttered on either side.
