soldier disciples had spread the faith OF
Islam through every land from Syria 10
Morocco and now the turn of Persia
had come at last
The native warriors fought as stout
ly as men could do; but they were
matched with men who had never met
their equal in war.
Caliph Omar, wiping his heated
face with the sleeve of his robe, watched
keenly the giving away, little BY little
of the pointed Persian helmets before
the white Arab turbans, and hurled up
on the wovering enemy, just at The de
cisive moment, the thousand picked
men whom he had hitherto held in re-

last charge to them; "for God Himself

LAW AND DUTY

Judge Stewards decision in the
Mullan- Morrow case is in all res
poets proper one and strictly in the
interests of law and order. 1t inter-
feres in no way with the rights and
liberties of any law abiding citizen
and may be accepted as a suggestion
to mobs aud inccndaiies, no matter
under what name they are organized,
that the state authorities intend to
use every means to protect the lives
and property Of the citizens or any
association Of capital engaged ia e-
climate business Organized unions
for the advancement and protection
OF common interests are in all re-
spects worthy, but when objects are
subverted and become organizations
OF crime and viscious social doe
trines, it is time for public policy to
intervene, overthrow the system and
punish the criminals, no matter what
the cost
Molly Mcguire methods are no lon
ger to be tolerated in the adjustment
OF social differences, either between
capital and labor or any other ques-
lion OF similar Importance.

This sudden charge of fresh and Wig.

But he stil held his ground unfiinch-

The post was wild and woeIly spot
in those days. 1t was the only trading
point for miles around, and was infes:-
ed with gamblers, desperadoes, Indian
traders, fugitives from Justice in the
states, with now and then gang of
cowboys, who would come in to the
post to get 'red eye" and incidentally
shootupth town and anything and any
body who objected to them shooting up
the town. Here in the shadow almost
of the post have arisen and fhrived such
desperadoes as the James gang. the
Daltons, the STAIRS, Cherokee Bill. ETC..

until civilization and the farmers
cleaned them out.
This old house has seen MANY stir

women and brave men. and if it had
tongue it could doubtless tell many
state secrets, as we'll as many interest

Many are the proverbs about cats In

I St Francis de Paula performed sc
many miracles that the devil was made
ill with envy. Once he entered the cell
OF vt Francis In the shape Of grand
nobleman with box full Of heavy zolS
pieces. Here, Francis" said he, "take
these. don't remain In this miserable
hovel, enjoy life; it is strewn with
roses, why do you collect all tine
thorns?" st. Francis, without mucf
ado, raised his hand and made the sigr
OF the cross, whereupon the fine gentle
man disappeared amid clouds of sui
phur smoke. Another time the devil
led lovely damsels, barefooted anG
lightly clothed, into the cell of the
saint, and then queens and expresses
OF glorious beauty, covered with jew
els and wrapped in mantles of gold It's

a log of wood, and at last made the
sign of the cross, when everything
disappeared. The devil was furious
Il must find some way to make this
stolid fellow lose patience
After much thought he rubbed hi.
hands with delight. He created mice
and they multiplied by thousands IN
the wink of an eye. The cell of st
Francis was filled by them, and he
tried in vain to drive them out Will
his hands and feet. But as he drove
them out of the door they swarme6
in at the window, and when he closed
both door and window they crept uI
through holes in the. brick floor of

ceiling. Then they clambered up the
saints tunic, made beds in his straw
mattress, played pranks in his provi

ing fervent prayer, burst out laugh
ing. The mice were beginning to at
tack him in thousands, when beauti
full little cat was created in the sleeve
of his tunic. So he cried to the mice:
II implore you to stop and go youI
way or you will repent it"
The mice answered by pushing theiI
noses against the bare skin of the saint
