THE MoHAMMEDANS.
Xos Queer Manner In Which They Nix
Up Religion and Murder

Up Religion and Murder.
The month of Ramadan, in which the
FIRST part Of the Koran is said to have
been revealed, is observed as a fast by
all Mohammedans The fast extends
oTer the whole month of raging heat"
and involves extraordinary self denial
and self control. No food or d-ink Of
any kind may Re taken from daybreak
until the appearance Of the stars ut
nj igatfall.
The rigor with which Moharl,nedan
observes this fast and the great gulf Ec-
tween its observance and obedience to
the moral code are both illustrated BIZ a
story told in the life of one of the he
rocs Of India, Major John Nicholson.
While Nicholson III 1854 was deputy
commissioner in Banru, native killed
his brother and was arrested. He was
brought before Nicholson OH a very hot
evening, looking parched and exhausted,
for be had walked many miles, and it
was the month of Ramadan.
Why" exclaimed Nicholson, lis it
possible that you have walked i'm fast
ing on day like this:'
THANK God" answered the Ban
nuchi. Il am good faster"
why did you kill your brothor?"
Il saw fowl killed last night end
the sight Of the blood put the Gevil in
to me.
he bad chopped up his brother,
stood a long chase and been marched in
here, bat he was keeping tho fast. +"
wrote the commissioner to fricad. that
he might know what sort OF blood
thirsty and bigetod paople he, Eichol-
con. had to govern.
One day wretched little child WIS
brought before the commissioner. Ho
had been ordered by his relatives of tho
Waziri tribe to poison food.
Don't you know it is wons to kill
people?" asked Nicholson.
II know it is wrong to kill with a
knife or sword. answered the child.
WHY"
because the blood leaves marks, :"
answered the TRAINED poisoner.

head of cattle that had been killed. The
case was tried before Judge who was
decidedly German. The witnesses were
examined and the case gone through
with, and the attorney for the prosecu-

conviction. He waxed eloquent, and the
judge paid close attention.
Are you troo?" asked the Judge when
the lawyer stopped.

But / want chance 10 argue my side

judge. But Peck commenced to talk. and
gradually his talk led up to the case,
and before the Judge knew IL Peck was
arguing the defense. The judge listened
closely, and when Peck had finished he
said:

But you have already decided I'm my
favor" said the other lawyer.
Oats all right. | reverse my first de-
cision. Dis man Wins" And the Judge
stuck to his last decision, and Peck won
