 Now ye firste Cooke was fatte & proude. Yea, his tayle-feathers were long & glossy & ys spurs were sharpe needles; also he hadde wondrous fine voice, x ono coulde hear him many myies whenne atte break of day he flew upon ye barnyarde fence & crew to greete ye rising sunne.
 Butte ye other Cooke was leane and scrawny. He was kept on ye runne by ye proude Cooke, so thatte he was unable to lay onne any fatte. He dared notte so much as crow above a whysper lest ye boss Cooke should gette wroth & kyck ye gizzarde out of hymme X drive hymme forth to live inne ye brambles. Of a truth hys was a hard lotte, x he was much to be ptied.
 & ale ye Hennes sneered at ye scraWny Cooke t& bade him to go.
 'Whatte homely figure he hath!' quoth one.

THE MAD MULLAH.
Mahomet Abdileh, of Somaliland, the
 Second Mahdi.

From the St. James Gazette.
 The name of Mohammet Abdileh con- veys little to English ears, but neverthe- less it is that of d man who has a very wide reputation, and whose appearance in the newspapers is an every day occur renee. As the Mad Mullah of Somali- land, Mohammet Abdileh is well known But little is known of this second Mahdi whose influence over the warlike tribes of Somaliland has caused so much trouble and expense to the government He was born of poor parents, owning a few cat tie in the southern portion of Somaliland In his youth Mohammet was initiated in- to the mysteries of the occult sciences and sorcery. These he learned among the tribes of the Danakil, which has always been renowned for its magicians. A study of the Koran and Arab writings followed in the Marabout school. When quite young the future Mullah was taken with the idea of making the pilgrimage to Mecca, and, not content with one jour ney made the sacred visit three or four times His object was to obtain great CT reputation for holiness than that held by the other pilgrims.
 After his last pilgrimage Mahomet re- turned to Berbera, but met with small success in that commercial town. Seeing no prospect before him but that of re- maining a poor. begging pilgrim, he de- termined to strike out a new line for him self, and establish himself among pow erfu inland tribe. Here he made his posi- tion secure by his appearance of holiness, his impressive airs and assurance with wLch he made his prophecies At this time and thereafter the magic learned in his boyhood stood him in good stead whenever his holiness was not able to overawe his somewhat turbulent follow ers He assumed the title of Mullah (priest and heaven sent). and even that of Mahdi. (propheD. Overwhelmed with presents by his credulous followers Mo- hamet Abdieh soon was among the rich est of the land. and with his riches his influence grew apace

There was much squawkynge and fiappynge of wynges; and whenne ye sunne rose few houres later-beholdel ye leane Cooke i founde hymselfe alone among ye fiocke.

he himself was the living Koran, and that he was to be obeyed as a new pro- phet sent from Allah. Not content with persuasion, the Mullah following the ex- ample set by Mohamet the Great threat ened with death all those who dsbe- lieved, and in following up these threats caused the disturbances which brought about the Somaliland campaign. Possess ing the power of calling forth enthusiastic support of the tribesmen, the Mullah has not had to rely upon himself alone for the conduct of his campaign. If reports speak truly, besides the Austrian, Karl lnger, he has as lieutenant an English navel officer, who, after his disgrace in the service, sought a career and revenge in the midst of the Mullah's tribes.

Relief
From Headache and
Neuralgia
In a Few Minutes
After Taking
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
Chronic Case Cured.

Il cannot speak to highly of your remedies
and | will always tell my friends how much
they have done for my husband and myself
for sudden attacks of headaches, neuralgia
and rheumatic pains. There is nothing
equal to DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
are simply splendid and give rslief in fifteen
or twenty minutes. l used to be subject to
attacks of headache, which had become
chronic, and took a course of Nervine and
Nerve and Liver Pills in connection with the
Anti Pain Pills. The result is | now have
very little trouble in that way. My husband
has also taken these remedies and praises
them very highly. We always have some of
both kinds of pills in the house, and do not
feel that we could get along without them
MRS. KATE X. JOHNSON, McClellandsville,
Delaware.
There are many reasons why you should
take DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills, but the best
reason is that they will give you almost instant
relief from headache or other pain. In cases
of chronic headache, when the sufferer knows
an attack is coming on, Pain Pill will usu-
ally prevent it entirely. In cases of extreme
nervous exhaustion, when the brain is too
tired and the body too nervous to rest, an
Anti Pain Pill will sooth the nerves so that
sleep may come. They never fail, yet con.
tain no opiates and are non-laxative.
All druggists sell and guarantee DR.. Miles
Ant-Pain Pills. They are non-la xative; con-
tain no opiates, never sold in bulk, rs doses,
