p,avs nasepall without Arms.

A little negro lives near Uniontown,
Ala, who is quite freak in the base
ball line. He lost both arms some time
ago in gin. He was SO badly cut that
they were both amputated near the
shoulder. Yet he loves to play the ma
tional game. He generally is pitcher for
his team, and his method of playing
would paralyze a National Lacquer.
He throws the ball with his foot, and
is said to be good pitcher.

The Story Of the Treasure Tower Of Bag
dad Breathing on the Bicycle.
A Year Of Great Mem.

Every schoolboy knows that Bagdad
was the seat of Arabic learning in an
ciens times, and that its name often APP
pears in that most delightful book
Arabian Nights' Entertainments''
with that Of the caliph, the good Hnoun-
al-Raschid That famous parsonage died
long before Marco Polo visited Bagdad,
but the stories Of the Arabian Nights
were commonly believed by the people
Of those parts In Marco Polo's day
Bagdad was known as Bandas, and one
Of the chapters Of Marcos. book Of tray
els, as given by st. Nicholas, runs thus !;
Baudas is great city, which used 70
be the seat Of the caliph Of all the Sara
Gems In the world, Just as Rome is the
seat Of the pope Of all the Christians.
A very great river flows through the
city, and by this you can descend to the
sea Of India There is great traffic Of
merchants with their gocss this way.
In Baudas they weave many different
kinds of silk stuffs and gold brocades
and many other beautiful tissues richly
wrought with figures of beasts and
birds. 1t is the noblest and greatest city
in all those regions.
Now, it came to pass on day in the
year of Christ 1855 that the lord of
the Tartars of the Levant. whose name
was Alau, brother to the great khan
now reigning, gathered mighty host
and came up against Baudas and took IL
by storm. 1t was great enterprise, for
in Baudas there were more than 100, 600
horse besides foot soldiers And when
Alau had taken the place he found there
in tower of the caliph g which was full
of gold and silver and other treasure-in
fact, the greatest accumulation of treas
ure in one spot that was ever known.
! When he beheld that great heap Of
treasure, he was astonished, and, sum-
moning the caliph to his presence, be
said to him:
"Caliph. tell me now why thou hast
gathered such huge treasure? What
didst thou mean to do herewith
Knewest thou not that / was thine en-
emy, and that / was coming against
thee with so great host to cast thee
forth of thine heritage? Wherefore didst
thou not take Of thy gear and employ il
in paying knights and soldiers TO defend
thee and thy city7'
The caliph wist not what to answer
and said never word So the prince
continued, Now then, caliph, since
see what love thou hast borne thy
treasure, will cen give it thee to eatl'
So he shut the caliph up in the treasure
tower and bade that neither meat nor
drink should be given him, saying,
''Now, caliph, eat Of thy treasure as
much as thou wilt, since thou art sc
fond of it, for never shalt thou have
aught else to eatl''
So the caliph fingered in the tower
four days and then died like dog.
Truly his treasure would have been oa
more service to him had he bestowed i!
upon men who would have defended his
kingdom and his people rather than lei
himself be taken and deposed and pui
to death as he was. Howbeit, since that
time there has been never another caliph
either at Baudas or anywhere else.
