As Good as a Native,

General Sir Herbert Kitchener, the
Sirdar commanding the Anglo-Egyp-
tian expedition in the Soudan, is evil
IDENTIFY a man of resource, if a story
told of him be true. The Sirdar is a
tall, dark-skinned mai who in dis
guise would easily pass for a native,
and his knowledge of the character of
the tribes, and of their language, gives
him m advantage in dealing with the
people.
At one of his camps on the Nile, SO
runs the story, two Arab date-sellers
were on a certain occasion arrested,
being suspected of being spies. They
were confined in the guard tent, and
were not long left alone, for soon after
their detention a third Arab prisoner
was unceremoniously bundled into the
tent.
Thereupon an animated jabbering
began, and was carried on for a few
minutes. The two prisoners were by
no means reticent in the presence of
one of their own race, who was, like
themselves, a prisoner, and they let
their tongues wag fast.
After a few minutes conversation
the sentry was surprised to see the
latest arrival draw aside the door and
step out.
SAIL right, sentry" he said. 81
am going to the general"
It was Kitchener, and he had him
self Investigated the case to see that
justice was done.
A few minutes more passed, and
again the door was opened. This time
an orderly appeared. He handed a
spade to each Of the prisoners, and
they were then marched outside, made
to dig their w graves, and shot.
They were, in truth, as had been sus-
pected, spies, and the general had con-
WINGED himself of the fact.-Youth's

Mourning for the Dead.

The Israelites neither washed mel

of mourning, which upon extraordin.

White was used in mourning for the
imperial family at Constantinople, 1913.
I The ordinary color for mourning in
Europe is black; in China, white; in
Turkey, violet; in Ethiopia, brown; it
was white in Spain until 1893. Anne
of Brittany, the queen of two success
sive kings of France, mourned in
black, instead Of the then practice of
wearing white, on the death of her
first husband, Charles VIII 1885,

The Republican Standing Com
mittee met in the Court House on
Saturday and completed the arrange
ments for holding the Republican
primary election on May 18th as
formerly announced. Some enthus-
iastic Quay admirer handed an elab-
crate eulogy on Quay to the Com
mittee for adoption. The committee
decided that eulogies were out OF
place for worn-out politicians and
came to the conclusion that the
people of Snyder County needed a
reduction in the rate of the interest
and in the rate of mileage charged
across the Pennsylvania Railroad
bridge at Selinsgrove and instructed
their representative and senator to
urge such legislation.

1t was time to get downto endorsing
something for the peoples good.
They tore the original resolutions 50
hard that the father of them will not
be able to recognize his own off
spring. They asked that their repre-
sentatives vote for thebill now pend
ing to reduce the legal rate of inter-
est. The committee has gone farth-
er than that they have asked their
senotar and representative to intro
duce Il bill to wipe out the unjust
discrimination in the extra rates for
passenger and freight traffic charged
across the river bridgeat Selinsgrove.
The committee deserve the congra-
tulations of the people for getting
away from the old rut of endorsing
WORKOUT politicians and getting
down to the peoples interests.
