Real Power of the
Sultan of Turkey

The huge mass of his dependents
swear by him; the gladiators of his
immense bodyguard worship him, says
a writer in speaking of the Sultan of
Turkey. The traders and others who
have dealings with the palace are loud
in their praise of his generosity and
justice. There are no happier or bet
ter paid workpeopie in the world than
the 500 Greek girls in his carpet fac
tory, and the fat and prosperous culti-
vators on his farms grow radiant at
mention of his name.
Although lis treasury is bankrupt
and his revenue shows yearly deficit
OF several millions, although through
out the length and breadth of his do
minions his subjects are groaning un-
der his terrible misrule, although his
capital and every big town are ter
rorized by such a hideous system OF
espionage and consequent blackmail
as has never yet been known, al
though his army is in rags and its pay
many months in arrears, and his navy

The island of Tiburon, in the Gulf
OF California, is inhabited by Indians,
who have resisted for centuries the
efforts of white men to land upon
their soil. 1t is hard to approach in
boats, and, though the Indians have
had no modern weapons, they have
kept their foes at bay and no one
knows much about them, except that
they make raids at times across a sew
enty mile stretch of desert on the
mainland, and after securing meat for
food return to their homes. The
Smithsonian experts declare them to
be the finest specimens of physical
humanity in the world, and even the
mounted cattle herders cannot catch
them as they run across the desert
wastes.
Recently a band of Americans with
regulations for deadly shooting equip
ped themselves with Winchester
rifles, Gathngs and other munitions of
war and went to the island in a
launch and landed with the avowed
purpose of wholly exterminating the
inhabitants and having the gold,
which is known to be found there,
and the land and spoil for their trou-
BILE. 1t was an exploit worthy of
pirates. and its end was as tragic as
the plan contemplated. 1t was the

died, and the Indians who took the
spoil After the party landed they
directed the launch to depart and re-
turn after time. 1t did so and found
only the bones of tae party bleaching
upon the sands.
What heroism was shown by these
savages in attacking with arrows and
spears the well-armed invaders, and
what desperate courage the adven-
turers manifested before they were
killed will never be recorded. Bot
we're first class fighting men, and
doubtless died true to their traditions
The Indians who fought for their
homes and children are now supplied
with the improved arms, and doubt
less some will know their use and in
struct the rest. They have kept the
landing for long generations as brave

their places at Chickamauga. They

VALUE OF SMALL ECONOMIES.
Writer Says They Detract from the
Realities of Life.


A story is told of a well-known phil
anthropist of the last century which
aptly illustrates a not uncommon state
of mind. Two gentlemen were can
vassing together for a religious or
charitable society. On ascending the
steps of the philanthropist's house,
they overheard the master sharply
scolding a housemaid for wasting half
a match. 1T is of no use calling here"
said one of the collectors to the other.
But they did call, and, to their great
surprise, received a liberal donation.
The visitors were made so welcome
that the more inquisitive of the two
gained courage to inquire of the donor
how it happened that he, who was evil
IDENTIFY so generous, should think it
necessary to rate a domestic for such
a trifing offense. "Oh," was the re-
ply, 'it is simply this: If l did not

they would not lack ammunition, and
they would bring with them to the
battle ground that spirit of bravery
and determination which goes with
fanaticism, and an obstinate power of
physical resistance such as could be
shown by no other troops in the world,
