This course of instruction is quite spe-
cial and is intended solely to develop in
the young beauties of the seraglio every
art calculated to please the most blase
senses. Grace in department, walk and

thing, In short, that art can add to the
natural charm Of woman, is taught by
oriental experience to innocent beauty in

Moreover. outside-rivals may enter the

1t sometimes happens that the padishah
takes a caprice for some slave Of the sui
tanas, his relatives, or the princesses, his
daughters. One night when Abdul Hamid
gave a dance and ballet in his harem he
noticed among the dancers a young slave
named Meste Alem, in the service Of the
Princess Zekkie, his eldest daughter The
next day two of the sultan's eunuchs ar
rived in haste at the princess palace and
informed her that they came to fetch the
girl, Meste Alem, who was to be the OBJ

Great was the emotion Of the young
Circassian girl, who had little dreamed
Of ever rising to such dignity. Her mis-

valide sultana summoned her to her

structions. However notwithstanding
the precipitation with which they had
brought her to the palace, Ii was only on
the fourth day that Meste Alem was
ushered into the presence Of the master.

The father of the girls is a minister

sprang UP among them. Last night the

providing the Lord did.
He called his daughters and the

the girls away and they were married.

CONFESSES MURDER
OF HIS WIFE
George Wolf Dug Her Grave Before
He Struck Her With
a Club

APPLETON, Wis, Aug. George
Wolf, who murdered his wife at Chip
pewa Falls last June, has made a full
confession of the crime, in which he
revealed the startling information that
he had dug a grave for her several
days before he killed her and that she
lived an hour after he had struck her
on the head with a club.
The only reason which he assigned
as cause for the deed was that at
tentions shown his wife by other men
had made him extremely jealous. He
finally resolved that she must die and
went to the river bank about four
miles from Chippewa Falls, where he
dug a shallow grave.
Several nights later he asked his
wife to go driving. She consented.
When they had reached a lonely spot
he struck her blow on the head with
a club. Stunned and bleeding, the
woman lay in his arms for an hour, at
the end of which time he completed
his murderous job.
He then drove at once to the grave
where he deposited the body, threw in
of the grave digger's work to the Chip
pewa river Wolf returned to his work
in a local livery stable, going to Bril-
lion at the end of two weeks, where he
secured work with the Ormby Lime
company. A fellow workman gave the
information which led to his arrest.
