The Turkish government has given
many important commercial conces-
sions to foreign nations, and the Sui
tan is watching the undermining pro-
cess with interest. Trade is the great
cementer of nations, and is also tho
great iconoclast. No spot, however
hallowed by tradition, is sacred from
its inroads. A. profusion Of modern
factory products thrust inconsider-
ately before every traveller widens the
gulf between the scenes Of the Bibli-
cal story and the Palestine Of to-day.
The Turkish government has shown
its solicitude for the believers In the
Koran by providing for the sinking
of number of wells along the historic
pilgrimage route to Mecca. Each OF
these wells will be supplied with a
windmill, thus lessening the hardships
of that self-imposed infection.

little acrobats I've ever seen. For in

for a pocket monkey. You will notice
that it resembles miniature gymna-
stun. There are trapezes, horizontal
bars and all sorts of things Of that
kind. Now, if pocket monkey didn't
find them in his home he would be
heart broken. OF course they don't
perform just whenever one wants
them to, but in the morning, just after
they have walked up, you will find
them doing every conceivable gymnas-
tic stunt, and If you don't laugh, you
are a person with no sense of humor."

A Historic Punch Bowl.

Quite possibly the most revered piece
of silver plate in the United States
navy is the massive 1S-pound silver
punch bowl of the battleship Indiana.
which bears the honorable scars of an
historic battle. During that famous
blockade and naval battle before Santi-
ago do Cuba this rich piece of table,
ware was struck by a fragment Of a
mortar shell fired from the Socapa
battery, and which burst in the ward
room passage of the battleship. A five-
pound bit of the shell struck the bowl
on one Of the stoutest parts of the
body, Just where the seal Of the state
of Indiana forms the central portion
of a beautiful decoration. The seal IL
still there; not as the artist designed
it, for it now forms a part Of
large, irregular indentation, which, in
the estimation Of the officers and men
of the battleship, enhances the value
of the bowl thousand times over

ible. Black slaves were sure Of q

rible. Black slaves were sure Of q
comfortable support-they were usu-
ally we'll treated-they were. not over
worked--they had their holidays and
their simple pleasures. The slavery
established by this corrupt court has
none OF these ingredients. This poor
wage slave is entirely helpless-she
can find no work-she can earn no
wages-she can only starve, live on
charity or do worse. This Is all &C.
complished by tie order Of a tyrant,
backed up by the decree Of court.
What hope Is there for laboring
man or woman who is blacklisted
when the law sustains that form OF
slavery? He or she had better get
out of the world or else procure gun
and learn how to use it.
No intelligent man believed that any
court would ever make such an out
rageous decision, but 1t is made and
it will be sustained by the higher au-
thorities.
Our judges are daily advancing In
infamy. They are making decisions
now for which they would have been
impeached twenty years ago and II

reputable a generation ago he would
not have had the privilege of an i'm

A DANGEROUS DECISION.

Some years ago a Chicago woman
was engaged in a labor strike. She
was no worse than all the others par
ticipating in the same strike. After
the strike was over and peace was
declared she attempted to get work,
but could not do so. She applied to
firm after firm and always met the
same answer. Nobody would give her
employment. She could beg, steal or
starve, but she couldn't work. There
was no way by which she could make
an honest living. She had been black
listed The decree had gone forth that
no employer should give that woman
a job. A brand had been set on her
brow. She was a paraiah among the
people-helpless and homeless. She
was like Cain, a fugitive and vaga-
bond on the face of the earth.
In her dire extremity she was in
duced to sue the cowardly scoundrels
who blacklisted her. She proved her
case all right. There was no question
about the facts. Everything was es-
tablished as above set forth. But the
court decided that employers had
right TO blacklist employees and pre-
vent them from getting work else
where. It practically decided that
slavery still exists in America. Not
the mild kind OF slavery that existed
In the south before the war, but a
condition thousand times more ter

Would he keep $4,000 drummers

Would he give away franchises and
land to irresponsible corporations?
Would he let individuals run his
railroads, and refuse to carry him II
he could not pay his fare?
Would he let them own his wheat
feds, and refuse him bread If he
lacked a nickel for loaf?
Would he let them manage his fac
tories, and refuse him clothes unless
he would pay them their own price
for the suit?
Would he let them take his own
house and turn him out on the street
because he couldn't pay the rent?
No, he would not allow any such alb
surd things. Yet this is just what the

Pocket
Monkeys

The latest fad in the way Of pets is
the pocket monkey. 1t is only about
two years since the little fellow made
his first appearance in this country IN
his present capacity, and he might be
said to have taken the hearts of pet
lovers by storm. Now his popularity
has become so great that the men VINO
make business Of catering to the
whims of the people who like pets say
that the demand for the pocket mon
key is five times as great as the sup
ply. They predict bright future for
the new favorite just as soon as the
people down in Brazil can be made to
understand what good comm rc,al
article they have and thus be induced
to make a regular business of captur-
ing these monkeys and shipping them
up here.
The pocket monkey dwells so far in
the interior of Brazil as to be almost
out of the reach of traders He is,
perhaps, the smallest member of the
monkey family known, being about
five inches long, but with tail that Is
sometimes three times as long as his
body. He belongs to the marmot fam
lily Of monkeys, and is extremely neat
In person and clearly of habit. II it
wasn't for those characteristics. he
would not be holding the place he does
in the hearts of those who have in
vested in him.

Cooled by the gentle movement Of
big palm-leaf fans, party OF friends
sat on the piazza. calmly talking Of
the heat. Presently one Of them said:
Suppose we describe In turn the
scene that our fancy pictures as Illus
trating our notion of oppressive heat.
What do we think Of? What time?
What place? What conditions"
The suggestion was received With
favor and here are some Of the re-
sponses:
"A new concrete sidewalk at noon,
with the sun beating down on 1t, and
your heels sinking in and the heat re-
flected In your face. and the air per-
vaded with the smell of tar"
1.-THE desert, with an exhausted cara
van struggling to reach mirage that
hovers on the horizon, but doomed to
perish of thirst, as persisted the man
and the camel whose bleached bones
they are passing"
Washing dishes in the kitchen,
with the thermometer at 95 out Of
doors, and 100 and something within;
with your hands so soapsudsy and
greasy that you can't lift them to your
face to wipe away the perspiration.
and with your whole being so tired
and cross and miserable that you
would cry-if you were not ashamed
to-"
1.-THE deck of becalmed yacht, with
a CLASSY sea and long slow roll and
the brasswork SO hot that 1t burns
your hand; the sun high. the sky
cloudless, the sails hanging with not a
breath to stir them; the victim pros-
trate and seasick, with no conscious
ness In the present except of heat
