walked to the fence to see what was want
ed. AS soon as he arrived there a blow
from Mr.. Gladmon. landed under his jaw.
caused him to stagger and fall. and then
the irate father did his best to pull a board
from the fence, intending to follow up his
victim and give him good. sound beating.
His wife pleaded with him to desist. and
for her sake, it is said, he returned to the
house and let Lucas get away.
Sergeant Barry and Policemen Horton
and Carlin were soon at the house. and
they made thorough search for the fugi-
tive but failed to find him.
After Lucas reached the fourth precinct
station he talked to the police and others
about the case. To Star reporter he said
he had only had the child on his knee, and
had padded her, as he had many children
before. So far as having any intention of
assaulting her is concerned, he said that
he never even imagined such a thing. Theirs
Is no claim that the child has been Injured
A charge of simple assault was preferred
against the prisoner. and he will be given

The author livests himself Of all Occiden-
tai prejudice in order to attain the heart
of the Eastern faith. The heroic 9th
man (Osman) whom Allah chose, for his
strength and genius and beauty, to be the
first great leader of the Osmanl and
founder of the Ottoman Empire, becomes
the object of the poets atfectionate re-
gard He is ''our' Gilman, the enemy
of ''our' enemies, the Christians, And
even stubborn reader shares the poet S
| sympathy as he traces the beginning of
Gilman love for Malkatoon; the years
of trial in which his wild nature got it's
discipline from eagles and lions; his sub
| lection of the tribe that supplied the first
| Osmanli warriors; his victory over the
Christian lord of Eskischeer; the splendid
vision in which the Mohammedan Empire
was promised to him. In other words,
the sympathy and the imagination of an
American writer have achieved an epic of
Islamism, an absolute novelty in English
literature And it would seem that the
present wide spread mistrust and hatred
of the Turk should make the publication
of this appreciation of the Turkish ideal
almost sensational event.
The play, 'Commodus," filling the
second half of this volume, celebrates the
courage of an outIawed chieftain named
Maternus, who, when the Roman Emperor
Commodus had sent his legions so that ian
army closed upon them from the north,
another from the SOUTH another from the
east, and from tie west one, /" conceived a
gigantic enterprise, in which the means
were as audacious as the purposes: his
| followers were to make their way, Sin
twos and singly,' from the Danube to the
Tiber; to rendezvous and first to recog-
nize each other at the gates of Rome. ''By
way of answer and reprisal to an edict
| which consigned him to persecution and
| death, Maternus crossed the Alps in quest
OF its author, sought him in the innel
| recesses of his palace, and there would
have 10 dyed dagger in his heart but for

The value of employing a lawyer who
knows something OF sea life when case
pertains to nautical matters, is again

In an insurance case the counsel asked
an old sailor at what time of day GER

reply:
'About the middle of the first dog
watch"
In summing up the case the barrister
enlarged upon the Information thus i'm
parted, as follows:
'You can imagine, gentlemen of the jury,
the care which existed on this occasion,
when as appears from one of the plain
tiff's own witnesses, this valuable ship
and her cargo and the lives of passengers
and crew were intrusted to what, gentle
men why, to the mere watch of dog"'
