Alden guards the lower entrance OF
the Red sea. 1t is built in the crater
of an extinct volcano and all the land
is barren. This is the country where
1t never rains. There is good reason
for this in the eyes of Mother Nature,
and reason, good or bad. according to
the pilots who guide the boats among
the islands of the sea. And all the
natives are of the same mind, espe-
cially those who have listened to the
stories of hardship and trials told
them in their childhood as they swung
in their grass hammocks in the shad-
ows Of their huts. Mahomet Begin his
flowing robes of blue and his turban Of
green and his yellow shoes, told the
story as he sat before his open door
scanning the sea for a sail or the
smoke OF a steamer looking for pi-
lot:
"Once the rains fell here as they do
in Port Said at the other end of the
Red sea, and even as they do In Co
lombo and Singapore, and all the rest
OF the world" Mahomet Bey shook
his head and sighed as he thought of
times when no one had to carry wa
ter from the springs beneath the tides
OF the sea. But this was in the days
of long, long ago, and all we know OF
that time or Of the things that hap
pened then is what Is told us by our
elders or sung TO us as we lay in our
cradles. According to the legends Ras
Sanailah, which same is now Alden,
lay in a beautiful valley with palms
waving on the hills and figs and vines
trailing off as far as the eye could see.
In this valley was beautiful city, and
in the center Of this city stood the pal
ace Of the queen. Surrounding her
were her attendants and her armies.
But the soldiers had little to do, for
the whole land was at peace.
Zone evening when the sky was
filled with q red haze, the enemy came,
riding upon the sea and swarming
across the land, trampling under foot
this beautiful valley and finally sit
ting down before the gates of the city.
crying for its surrender. Black were
the hearts of the besiegers and dark
were their deeds as they went back
and forth. The queen was helpless in
her palace, and after a time all the
provisions were eaten. One dark night
when the thunders were crashing and
the floods were descending upon the
earth captain of the queens army
opened the gates just little way that
he might slip out and SO escape in the
storm to the hills. Another captain

THE GRAND MEDICINE MAN
Elaborate Ritual of the OIbways Cover,
Ing Several Days.


The ceremony of the Grand Medi-
cine is an elaborate ritual, covering
several days, the endless number OF
gods and spirits being called upon to
minister to the sick man and to
engthen his life. The several degrees
Of the Grand Medicine teach the use OF
lncantations, of medicines and poisons.
and the requirements necessary to con-
stitute a brave. When a young man
seeks admission to the Grand Medicine
lodge he first fasts until he sees in
his dream some animal (the mink, bea-
yer, otter and fisher being most COM

skin is then ornamented with beads
Or porcupine quilts, and the spirit of
the animal becomes the friend and
companion of the man" The medicine

Dreams; Lies bow of Promise.

Youth dreams and the rich color of
expectancy lends beauty to all the
coming years. Man dreams and the
vision strengthens his hand and makes
gentle his heart. Age dreams and the
spirit picture has suggestion which
softens pain and holds glad promise
of the life beyond the hills. The year
without a dream is barren, fruitless
time. Dreams are the sowing and
sometimes the harvest. Happy, three

his capacity to dream through all the
laundering days, his ability to use the

II AItL DADIl I'm ADLlNs
There was a great cry from all the
houses in the city and the palace.
When daylight came not one was left
alive. Even the two captains were
caught and carried back to their suf-
fering fellows and their bodies were
added to the great procession which
headed for the sea.
Now 1t so happened that this queen
was the daughter of god, who at
that time was on hunt in the wilds
and jungles of the desert, and so did
not know of the trials his daughter,
the queen, was enduring all the days
of the siege. AS she was mortal she
had to die as the rest had died, but
her father, the god, was very wroth
when he learned of the fate of Ras
Sanailah and hurried away across the
deserts and jungles of Africa to this
land. The enemy was living in all
the good houses of the city as well as
I'm the palace. In the market place
before the palace a new temple to a
strange god was being built.
The father of the queen sat upon the
walls of the city and thought what
would be the most severe and lasting
punishment that he could infiict. He
knew IL he should put them to death
other people would come and take
their places. Then he bethought him

Indignation Over Fraud.
There is another sin that we are Of
tentimes called to be angry with, and
that is fraud. We all like honesty, and
when it is sacrificed we are vehement
in denunciation. We hope that the de-
tectives will soon come upon the track
OF the absconding bank official, of the
burglar who blew up the safe, of the
clerk who skillfully changed the figures
in the account book, of the falsifier who

arouses the nations wrath. 1t is the
interest of every good man and good
woman who reads of the crime to have
1t exposed and punished. Let it go
