The Athens OF As1n II InOuBanO 1ear8
Ago as 1t is Today.
Henry Norman in the London Chronicle.
The Central Asia Of yesterday lives al
nest unaltered in the cities Of Bokhara
and Samarkand. The whole world has
only two more interesting cities than the
latter-Athens and Rome. and indeed this
was the Athens Of Asia nearly a thousand
years ago. Its consecutive history, how
ever, goes back twice as far as that, for it
was destroyed by Alexander the Great.
Genghiz Khan RACED 1t at the beginning of
the thirteenth century, and Tamerlane re-
built it and adorned 1t with the superb
buildings whose tottering ruins are still
magnificent today. Russias ownership of
it dates only from 1868.
Between the railway and the native city
is the Russian town, EMPOWERED in trees,
the governors residence being a large and
handsome structure in spacious grounds
surrounded by a wall. Next in size Is the
club or casino, the only place where
decent dinner can be had, for the only
hotels for visitors are certain ''numera,"
or furnished rooms, where the accommoda-
ton is wretched and the cooking worse.
The club, on the other hand, which is
maintained solely by the officers of the
garrison. with an oficial subsidy, is spa
cious and comfortable, with excellent cook
ing. perfect service by military orderlies,

brilliant tiles Of the lion and the sun Of

TGTSld.
Behind the facade Of each madrassa is
paved courtyard, with a fountain and
few trees, and all around are the cells OF
the scholars and the imams. Time and
earthquakes have wrought destruction, the
portals are broken, some Of the minarets
are without tops, square yards of tiles have
fallen off, rubbish heaps have been formed
of the debris, but still the magnifcence OF
these great structures persists, and know
no more impressive and picturesque sight
than this great market, crowded with stalls
and shouting buyers and sellers. while high
above and all around the human ant heap
stand these vast architectural splendors OF
an age long past, the note Of heavenly blue
dominating all. The man who built them
lies not far off, under another splendid
dome, behind another porcelain facade, at
the end of another long avenue.
On the ground level is an octagonal
chamber, and within kind of fence OF
pierced alabaster are several oblong stones,
chief among them great block OF DARK
green almost black, jade, said to be the
largest in the world. Directly beneath this,
in the vault below, was Tamerlane laid SIX
hundred years ago, one or two OF MS coun-
cillors around him. Some rough repairs
have been made in the walls and dome OF
this structure, and indeed it would be q
crime to allow so memorable spot TO IAN
into decay, but on the whole the Russians
have done almost nothing to keep these
splendid structures intact. They do strictly
forbid the selling of the blue tiles but
thirty years after they came here an earth
quake wrought QeStTuCtiou, anu lAS PiS
of brick and mortar and smashed tiles lie
just as they fell.
One of the most beautiful domes OF
Samarkand, that Of the Mosque Tamerlane'
built for his spouse, the daughter of the
Emperor of China, has huge open rift
across it, and may collapse at any mo-
ment. The cost of preservation would not
be great and it is surprising that some
archaeological society in Russia does not
undertake the task which the government
thus strangely neglects.

am sorry he remarked. when he learned
that he had gone; the captain placed an
order with us for couple OF suits of ex-
ira heavy underwear and was anxious to
nave them delivered next week I wanted
to tell him that we'd have to send north
FOR the goods he added, and they NAV be
delayed. That incident set me to think
ing. There might be thousand perfectly
natural and innocent explanations of the
order, yet 1t certainly carried the infer
ence that our friend was contemplating
an early trip to a cooler climate, and-well
had strong premonition, or whatever
you choose to call it, that some thing wrong
lurked in the background. The more I
thought about it the more uneasy 1 be-
came. 1t seemed absurd to turn down an
old friend and lose a handsome sale sim
ply because he had ordered some heavy
underwear. and I knew 1 was riskine Sc
we're censure, II not my situation itself:
but before night l countermanded his pur-
chases and notified him by wire that we
mad decided to trim our credit lines for the
summer and were sorry that we could not
obige him. He sent back furious letter
and placed his order with an opposing firm,
who accepted him gladly. My bosses looked
pretty black when they heard the story,
but they changed their expression early in
June, when the worthy captain suddenly
disappeared, after turning everything he
had into cash. Just as 1 had anticipated,
he headed for a cooler climate. When last
heard from he was rusticatinG in Mani

His Magic Failed Him,
From the Detroit Free Press.


zone of the funniest things that ever
happened to me- said the old magician,
who was in a reminiscent mood, occurred
number of years ago while was making
a tour of the country. At that time my
favorite card was the box trick, where I
allowed myself to be put In sack, after
which I was locked in a box, which was
tied up and put in the cabinet, from which
I emerged a moment later, bowling and
smiling. 1t always brought down the house,
and was subject for discussion long after
1 had left
well, I gave my performance one night
at small town, and after the show was
over I went to the little hotel and retired
for the night, the old man who kept the
hotel showing me to my room with all the
difference that he would give to O. king
The bed in the room was folding one, and
no sooner was in than 1t closed up like a
jacknife. Fortunately for me, I realized
what was happening in time to roll to one
side, so that when the bed closed 1t left
my head out. But otherwise I was power
less and there was nothing to do but yell
for help, which did to the best of my abil-
ity. Finally 1 succeeded in making the
landlord hear me, and he came to the door
ana wanted to know what the matter was
This cussed bed has shut up and caught
me in it! shouted.
"'Wul, why don't we git out? he drawled.
"I can't! bawled
'Humph, Teller what kin git out of a
sack after he has been put in box and
locked up ought ter be able to git out of a
bed he answered.
I'll took fifteen minutes steady argument
on my part to convince the old man that
my skill in getting out of difficult places
did not include folding beds, and even then
he seemed to think l had caused him a lot
of unnecessary trouble.
"All he said when at last he released me
was:
'Humph, We amt ex big a man ex I
thought We wuz!"
