The Sultan is in constant fear OF as
assassination, and it is said that his fav-
critics hatch up plots. only to discover
them and get great rewards The Sultan
believes in all of them. no matter how
absurd. For instance. a young man
nsmed Rechad Bey, of high family. was
educated in England. Here he got ideas
that were not looked upon with favor so
he was the object of official surveillance.
Ell organized q football team among
the young men Of his acquaintance and
practiced in q vacant lot behira Il high
wall in his fathers palace. The spies de-
cided that he had organized a desperate
conspiracy against the Sultan. He was
arrested in the middle of the night The
keys TO the garden and clubhouse were
seized. ard most astounding discoveries
followed. In the clubhouse were found
several footballs lot OF kerseys. and
the cOlors Of the club. with shin guards.
nose protectors. elbow pads. and othe
paraphrernalia familiar to football play
ers. To complete the daming evidence one
of the spies cunningly ascertained the
name OF the large elastic bomb which
these young men were in the habit OF
kicking around at each other was the
same term as that used by Turks for n
cannonbaH Hence it must be new kind
o. bomb or she'll. and the police authori-
tes were convinced that thcy had IN
earthed an important conspiracy to as
sassnate the Sultan and blow up the
palace. The footballs were submerged in
water to prevent their explosion. and the
sweaters and the rest of the outfit We're
carried carefully away to the palace that
the Sultan might see for himself
Football has been played for years in
Constantinople by the young men of the
English embassy and the European col
ony. and also by the students Of the Rob
crts College. but the police authorities
and the Sultan had never heard Of it.
Hence they knew nothing of the game
When the friends Of Rechad Bey learned
how serious was his predicanent they ap-
pealed TO the British embassy for assist
ance. one Of the secretaries was sent 10
The minister oftAeolice to explain the ma
ture of the game and the uses Of the ter
rible articles that had been discovered
az the clubhouse. He unlaced a football
without the slightest trepidation and
showed how it Was made. He put on the
nose guard. the shin protectors. and the
ether arInor and tried 60 convince them
Of its innocent purpose. But they were
still very suspicious. Perhaps their pride
had something to Go with IT, FOR they in
sisted upon having Rechad Bey seriously
punished. and ne was bundled of in great
haste to Teneran. Persia. where he can
not DO anything TO aid IN the disintegra-
ton Of the Ottoman Empire.

AN UE 7AMFL AR DIALECT.
London Cocxneys Talk Anything But
English, Says an American WOm-
an-Vfsit to "MObIotch."

An American woman who was lately IN
London for the first time is convinced
that whatever the language may be
which the coclkneys speak. it is not Eng
lish One Of her experiences is related
by the Washington Post
The woman wished to see the city all
by herself Somebody told her that if
she went to the terminus Of some bus
line-it did not matter which-and
waited little, she would hear the con-
ductor call out the places on the route,
and then could choose that which she
wished to visit
She found a place where buses we're
arriving and departing. and waited. She
heard many curious names, but failed
to understand much that the busmen
said. Every now and then the man on
the step of a bus would call out: Mob
lotchl Moblotchl" and she wondered
what part of London ''Moblotch" might
be. She had never heard Of it before,
and she had been studying London for
six months. At last she ventured to
address a conductor who looked ap-
proachable.
"Will you kindly tell me" she said,
Where one takes the bus for Marble
Arch?"
The man looked at her pityingly. Her
American accent was thick upon her
and he perceived also that she must be
deaf He leaned toward her and drew
a long breath. Then he beloved:
This is your bus. maaml" and be
gan to shout "Moblotchl Moblotchl'
The visitor had let seven ''Moblotch'
buses go because she never once guessed
that that is the way Marble Arch Is pro-
nounced in London.

OLD BABYLoNIAN SCHOOL.
Recently Unearthed by a German
Priest While Excavating-Iet-
ters Made on Bricks.

Rev. Vincent Scheil, a German priest
making excavations in an ancient Baby
lonian city, has unearthed school Just
as it was 1000 years ago in the time OF
King Hammurabi
II is a small house Of sunburnt brick
and stands in the midst of the most
populous district Of the city of Seapur,
just opposite the great temple. It has
many inscribed brick, from the cunei-
form inscriptions on which Father Scheil
has reconstructed the life Of the ancient
BabyIonian school. One brick says
HE who learns to write well in the
school will shine as the sun"
There were seven small rooms in the
school, each with its various kinds OF
brick. In one room we're found bricks
with grammatical exercises. The schol-
ars evidently sat on the ground in rows
with soft clay bricks in their hands,
painfully forming the hard cuneiform
letters. Father Scheil says the thumb
marks of the teacher are to be detected
where he smudged over the scholars
