DO YOU WANT THE BEsTe Ross's Barber Shop is the place to go. Exchange Hotel.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1901-12-27

In May last some of the wild tribes
men of Morocco stole Spanish boy
and girl who were living with their
parents at one Of the Spanish settle
ments on the north coast Of Africa.
The Spanish government, knowing
we'll that the children would be killed
II the ransom demanded by the ban
dts was net paid, adv. need the money,
and the children were released. Then
Spain made a claim for the amount of
its disbursement. and also for dam
ages, upon the government of Moroc-
co. Recently the government paid to
Spain the sum of $4,000. and an ad-
ditional sum of $1,000 to be given to
the parents Of the stolen children.
Several incidents of the same sort
have occurred In the past two or three
years. and each time the sultan has
been compelled to take large sum Of
money from his treasury to meet the
claims of Spain. He seems incapable
of preventing these outrages. Probably
few persons have any idea how weak
the sultan Of Morocco is in the large
country he assumes to govern. The
fact is that his rule extends over only
about one-sixth Of the territory deslg-
mated on our maps by the name OF
Morocco. 1t is easy to distinguish be-
tween the territories over which his
rule Is we'll established and those in
which his authority is not recognized,
and whose inhabitants refuse to pay
taxes unless the taxgatherer is sup
ported by large force of soldiers. II
we look at the map showing the distri-
button Of the population of Morocco
we will observe two areas, roughly
triangular in shape, which are inhabit-
ed by Arabs. The most northern
area extends from the Strait of Gibral-
tar to the coast town of Rabat with
Fee, the largest city of the country,
near the apex of the triangle. The
base of the southern triangle lies
along the coast between Mazagari and
Agadir and the city of Morocco in the
interior is near its apex Practically
all the Arab population live within
these two triangles. All the rest of
the country is inhabited by Berbers,

Amateur Photography In Mexico.

Amateur photography has taken a
firm hold on the City of Mexico. Cam
eras are now almost plentiful there as
burros, and they are being put to
strange uses. The Mexican Herald
tells how one Jacinto Rivas earned q
large stake with small picture. Sus-
pecting that girl living near him was
about to elope with sweetheart who
was particularly Objectionable to her
parents, he lay in wait for them with
his camera. When they met he fol-
lowed them to the railroad station
and secured a snapshot Of them as
they were boarding train. Then he
went home and waited until the angry
father had offered reward for the
name of the man who had stolen his
daughter, when Rivas called upon him
and mentioned that he had taken
photograph of the clippers. He thought
that 1t was worth $50 under the cir
cumstances, and he parted with it for
that sum. Up to date the angry father
has not realized on his investment.

How to Sustain a Pose.

Professional models, in posing for
artists, appear at first glance to re-
mair perfectly still, but closer inspec-
.tion of them always shows that they
sway continuously and regularly from
side to side, says the Philadelphia
Record. In discussing this swaying
movement and its advantages, a model
said the other day:
I'VE sway because, somehow, 1t rests
us, and because through It we can hold
a pose quite ten times longer than we
could il we kept ourselves rigid and
still. A model, as soon as he strikes
an attitude, begins uncOnsciously to
sway, moving in the tempo, as investi-
cation has shown me, of his heart
beats. Why this swaying helps him, I
don't know, unless 1t be that it keeps
his limbs from getting cramped and
from falling asleep. 1t does help him,
though, immensely, as without 1t be
could not possibly hold pose for an
hour. a test of endurance to which any
good model is equal
Posing is very hard work at the
best. You. or any amateur, would find
difficulty in posing for ten minutes in
even the easiest attitude. If you
should make trial of it some time
you would conclude that the profess
sional model is rather underpaid at
the rate Of so cents an hour which pre-
walls"

John Doe" In England.

Forty-nine years ago died two near
relativ sin the legal profession-of
the celebrated Mrs. Harris"-John
Doe and Richard Roe. For centuries
their connection with landed property
had been extensive and peculiar II
Smith wished to eject Jones, Smith be-
came John Doe, the plaintiff, and Jones
was compelled to join in the legal
comedy by becoming Richard Roe, the
defendant Those names were also
inserted in criminal proceedings as
pledges to prosecute. A curious Incl
dent happened at the trial, in 1874
of Louis Houssart for the murder OF
his wife. Among other pleas in bar
to and abatement of the proceedings
he pleaded that there were no such
persons as John Doe and Richard Roe"
To this it was replied that there were
two such persons in Middlesex, one
weaver, the other soldier, and this
fact was sworn to. This legal fiction
was abolished on October "a, 1867

RIDING ON AN AUTOMOBIL

Racer Describes HIS Sensations Durinb
Fast Spin.
What are the sensations of a racing
automobilist? A good many people
have, no doubt, asked this question
mentally the past week, especially
those who saw the races at Oakley last
Monday A Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune man put the query into words
ON that day and while the crowd was
waiting for Fournier and his Blue
Devil" and Mr.. John Duttenhofer, who
had made a good race in the first
event, answered it by inviting him
and two others to take spin around
the track in his automobile.
AS the machine whirled out OF the
paddock and onto the track the wind
struck it with full force, but the
speedy little racer seemed not to mind
that whit. In a moment 1t had
spun past the grand stand and was
taking the first run like thorough
bred. People, fences, and the land
scape in general now seemed to be a

whirring softly over the course and
leaving a little cloud Of snow-white
steam in their wake.
AS they turned into the home stretch
the wind caught them again, and those
who rode let go their hold on the seats
long enough to turn up their coat col
lars.
1T is more like sleighing on
packed road of snow than anything
can think Of" said one.
The next minute the quiet little
auto had come to stop at the pad
dock gate and the race against the
novice's ignorance-for there was
nothing Else to race against-was at an
end.
Yes" said Mr.. Duttenhofer, at Is
like sleighing, especially on a day like
this. Take look at the rear Of the
machine as we run in; even the auto
can see it's breath"

| ROYALTY TO
| VISIT AMERICA

Royalty is really going TO pay a
visit to this country in the person OF
King Chulalongkorn of Siam and his
queen.
Haslilton King. United States min
lister at Bangkok. Siam, has been in
formed, through Prince Devawongse,
Siamese minister for foreign affairs,
that King Chulalongkorn of Siam
would like to pay visit to America
in the near future. His majesty has
it in his mind to visit Japan, and
would be pleased to avail himself of
the same opportunity to visit the Unit
ed States also. The minister thinks
that such a visit would lead to bet
ter appreciation of American institu-
lions on the part of the Siamese.
The king of Siam appreciates that
for one monarch to visit the realm
of ano. her means an invitation from
the sovereign host and more or less
recognition on the part of the govern
ment to which he Is of necessity in the
position of a guest. He at the same
time appreciates that with our repub
lie he must be quite otherwise. and
while he fully understands this and
would be glad to come to the United
States in private capacity. il ne
could do so, for the sake of the edu-
cation it would be to himself and his
people, he feels fear that to go in
such a manner might be regarded in
Siam as indicating something of hos

"A cat!'

Alden met many enthusiastic admirers,
chief among whom was Miss Isabel
Graham. who was sitting for her por
trait
How thoughtful of your aunt" the
young lady exclaimed at first sight of
the cat. "Mr. Gordon, you must be
proud to own that dear creature" and
Gordon was not wicked enough to ask
which.
Before the second week was over
John Allen signified his determination
to see something Of outdoor life, and
fought so frantically at the window,
screens that Gordon took him to the
boarding-place, where there was
strip of yard. This was too narrow to
suit His Majesty for more than a day,
and as the landlady could not watch
him all OF the time, he stole out and
sought the acquaintance of the alley
cats. Gordon gazed sadly at the dirty,
tangled fur, as Puss strolled in wear
lily one evening. Once more His High
ness took mp his abode at the studio.

Things Ono Cannot Do.

A man cannot raise from a chair
without bending forward, or putting
his feet under the chair or outside of 1t.
Many man will back himself to give
another start Of fifty yards in race
of 100, provided the man having the
start hops all the way. But no run
ner, however swift, can give that
amount of start to an ordinary man.
For the first five yards they go at
practically the same pace. Therefore
the runner, to 60 ninety-five yards
while the hopper" goes forty-five,
would have to run more than twice as
fast, and it would be weak man who
could not hop forty-five yards at a
pace equal to twenty seconds for 100
yards; and that would mean the
runner would have to beat all previous
records.

QUEER WILLS OF moH MEN.
Some Extraordinary Requests That Havs
Passed Into History.

some EXTRAORDINARY Bequests Anht nSvs
Passed Into History.
It does not necessarily follow that
because man has been shrewd enough
to amass a great fortune he Is wise
enough TO dispose Of 1t in sensible
manner. The records Of the probate
courts show that requests fraught with
onerous, even impossible, conditions
are not uncommon. 1t Is as though
the testator, resenting the scramble for
his property which he foresees Will fol-
low his death, desires to make the lot
OF his heirs as hard as possible.
Within the last few months there
have been several OF these eccentric
Wills. A brother left his sister $2b.-
coo under the express condition that
she should neither marry nor become
nun. In default of carrying out the
stipulations the money is to be dis
tributed among other relatives.
Very different toward marriage was
the attitude of wealthy Italian who
died recently. To each Of his three
daughters he left $500 year i; they
remained single and Ave times as
much, $500 yearly. If they married.
A member of the English parliament
just deceased bequeathed to his two
daughters his entire estate Of $780,
900 with the provision that they can
only inherit If they attain the age OF
IS without wedding either Hebrew
of citizen of the United States.
A curious evidence Of the foresight
Of Benjamin Franklin Is furnished by
one of the items of his will. A small
sum Of money was left with thu pro-
viso that it should not be used until
the twentieth century, and that mean
while the accommodating interest should
be added to the principal.
The gift has now become available,
with the result that the trustees OF the
Franklin fund have at their disposal
1916, 900, which will be used to erect
Franklin institute in Franklin square,
Boston.
More singular even than any "
these odd requests was the obligation
that Lord Butte imposed on his heirs.
AS he lay dying he expressed the wish
that his heart should be taken to the
holy land and buried there, adding that
unless this was done his relatives
would never rest happy in possession OF
his estate. So strong was this appeal
that the order was carried out to the
letter.

these triangles white men may travel
in comparative safety without being
compelled to disguise their origin. All
the chiefs are servants Of the sultan.
and are held accountable for outrages
committed upon the whites. 1t is a
mistake to<suppose that the sultan of
Morocco encourages outrages upon
white visitors to his country. They
are comparatively safe in all the re-
gions where his rover is supreme; this
is not to say that the Arabs have a
very friendly feeling for whites, but as
a rule they dare not attack them.
Pierre Lott, in his vivid picture of
Morocco as he saw 1t twelve years ago,
tells of woman beggar who, while &C
cepting the aims given to her by MEN,
bers of the French embassy with ap-
parent gratitude, was at the same time
repeating over and over again the
words: Courses upon you and your re-
ligion," thinking that none Of them
knew the meaning of what she said.
But in the vast territories inhabited by
Berbers not even the sultan nor his Of
ficials dare venture unless accompan-
led by regiments of troops. No white
man would think Of penetrating these
regions openly. No drawer explorers
ever lived than Foucauld, Harris and
LEM, who, with only handful OF men
in their parties, passed through the
thick of the Berbers, traversing the
country in all directions. These ex-
plorers were so we'll disguised that
they were never suspected of being
white men. II their identity had been
known they would have paid for
their temerity with their lives. II we
examine map showing the routes of
explorers in Morocco we will see that
they are very numerous in the tri-
angles occupied by the Berbers. Thus
it is the hostility evinced, not only
against white men, but also against
the sultan himself, that has kept five
sixth of Morocco from being we'll
known, and has limited satisfactory
explorations to the small triangles oc-
cupied by the Arabs.

or with dog soap and comb them out
with fine comb"
Gordon purchased three combs be-
fore he found one that would not
break. He bought three different
kinds Of soap, and returning to John
Alden he combed, he bathed. he rubbed
and then combed again. At the end
Of the tussle John Alden lay snugly
sleeping under a warm drapery high
on q bookcase and Gordon dressed his
own torn and bleeding hands and cap
tared two live tleas on his coatsleeve.
He has since come to believe that those
insects flourish on strong soapsuds, for
after this performance John Alden did
little but scratch and dig at his poor,
tormented skin. He lost his appetite
and grew thin. Miss Graham advised
more combing and warm catnip tea.
Gordon bought catnip at the druggists.
He bought also walnut wash recon-
nended by the chemist and bottle OF
cat tonic Still the fleas increased and
John Alden diminished.
Gordon wrote to his aunt. Take
him to a veterinary surgeon" advised
she. "for the feas will kill the cat II
