head like a club and hit the ball with
the butt end, the game proceeded. 1t
lasted about three hours, and then the
Sultan gave it up in disgust. He had
torn the cloth into ribbons, broken his
cue, and only scored eleven. Sir Har-
ry had made less than twenty. That
was the end of billiards so long as
was at Marakesh. The Sultan voted
it too tame.
wild Boar Hunt i'm the Palace
Court
Next day his majesty, who told me
that I had won him for a friend. be-
cause l knew how to ride a wheel,
took me to see his private ZOO in the
palace grounds. l was rash enough
to admire a fine herd of wild boars.
"Well have them out and chase
them about the grounds" he exclaim-
ed delightedly, overjoyed to have
found a new amusement to divert the
English stranger.
l hardly saw the beauty of the
sport. The boars had magnificent
white tusks and wicked little eyes.
thought they looked much better be-
hind the bars, but the Sultan. having
got the idea, was determined to carry
it out. He sent for ponies and spears.
Half a dozen of us mounted, and the
bears were let loose.
AS The stood stock still in the
courtyard, the Sultan rode up and
gave one a gentle prick on the Shout
der. Instantly it rushed at him, but
he swerved his horse aside neatly and
gave the beast another prick. We did
the same to the rest of the herd, and
soon the place was like half a dozen
Spanish bull fights rolled into one.
L.. I vag,1n Il
so knew how to dodge on horseback.
My conjuring friend was a bad rider,
and the boars would have rolled him
over and over again if the Sultan had
not gone to his rescue. His majesty
was in the thick of the scrimmage all
the time, darling over the grounds like
a streak of lightning, and showing
fine pluck. Luckily, nobody was hurt
during the afternoon of pig sticking,

is He Who Must be Obeyed, SO we
mounted our machines and did our
best. I am pretty fair cyclist, but
l came a cropper over a big rock be-
fore l had ridden thirty yards. Soon
my machine was hopelessly smashed,
and l had to take another. The same
mishaps befell the Sultan, Sir Harry,
and the court entertainer, and l am
safe in saying that in the Hbur his
majesty kept us awheel we succeeded
in hopelessly wrecking dozen BIZ
cycles.
At the end of that time the Sultan
thought the sport was not sufficiently
exciting, so he suggested that we vary
it by riding into one another and see
ing who got hurt most. Even that
palled on him presently, and he sent
for some of his ministers and a couple
of venerable gray-bearded ulemas, and
made them cycle, too, despite their
piteous protests. AS they had never
seen cycles in their lives before, they
were better hands at smashing them
than any of us, and before that after
noon was over the courtyard was
smothered with what had once been
the finest machines in the market.

they tickled him like a child. But Sir
Harry MacLean had a better scheme to
propose. Let us have the boars out
again he said, land chase them with
lighted squibs."
The Sultan was overjoyed. If Sir
Harry had not already been COM
mander in chief of the army, l believe
he would have rewarded him with that
rank on the spot. The ponies were
ordered out. the boars let loose, and
we mounted and lighted our squibs
1t was the widest. queerest, and
most indescribable scene 1 ever wit
messed. Imagine us, yelling like ma
MACS, riding at a breakneck gallop
over the boulders and ruts, whirling
our fireworks over our heads. and
chasing those boars around and around
the courtyard. 1t was a miracle we
were not all killed. The only person
hurt was the Sultan. He held a squib
by the wrong end and lighted 1t in the
middle. Naturally, he burned his fin
gers, and began to think that the
game was not such nice one after all.
The Sultan Learns PRrIor Magic.
Not a day passed without some new
amusement. AS for the cares of state
and the government of the country, no.
body seemed to worry in the least
about them. Certainly the Sultan did
not, at that time.
Large quantities of mechanical and
scientific novelties had been ordered
from Europe-Abdul Aziz was just
big child, with unlimited money to
spend on toys. One day he tried an
automobile and nearly blew himself
UP. Then he soon smashed 1t, as he
smashed everything. The photograph
sent him into ecstasies, but he was not
thoroughly happy until he pulled it
to pieces to see where the voices came
from.

phisticated Moors by his conjuring

confronting us can be solved only when
constitutional changes are made. For
that reason I hold that the existing
popular sentiment in favor of a sena-
tcrial amendment precipitates the most
important issue which has arisen in
years-a revision of our national con-
stitution. It is a third of a century
since 1t was adopted, and measured by
progress and achievements it is thou

mo, they wouldn't dream of such
thing said Jenkins.
did you ever hear of a strike of pos
tai employees or school teachers"'
mot that I remember. What's that
got to do with it?" demanded the post
master.
1.-The government seems to be pop
ular employer" observed Col Monroe.
IF private interests were content with
reasonable profits, and willingly
shared their prosperity with those who
worked for them, it is possible that
there would be no labor unions and no
strikes. The government pays living
wages, accords fair treatment, and
seeks no profit from the labor of its
employees. The president of the M. N.
& w. receives a salary of $4,000 a
year, and twice as much more in divi-
dends. The Postmaster General of the
United States receives $4,000 a year,
superintends a business many times as
great as that of the M. N. & W.. and
receives not a dollar in dividends. Men
form unions and strike because they
have reason to believe they are not re-
ceiving their honest share OF what
they earn. 1 hear many men of your
class declaring in favor of suppresslng
labor unions. Why don't you force such
a plank into your party platform? You
know perfectly we'll that neither of the
great political parties would consider
labor union suppression plank for
moment. You will have to organize
new party, Jenkins. The Republican
and Democratic platforms will vie in
eloquence in affirming the right of Ia
Dor to organize. You might join the So
cialists. They are opposed to labor I'M
ions on broad principles. But you are
not socialist, are you, Jenkins?'
II should say not" asserted the in
dignant postmaster. Il don't want to
divide with anybody. I'm content TO be
as / am. Every man for himself, is
my motto. IL people don't like this
country let them get out of it."
You have not answered my ques-
ton, colonel" interrupted Judge Saw
yer, who had little sympathy with the
postmaster's not uncommon type OF In
dividuallsm. I'm your opinion, what is
the most important issue now before

taken in. He has a shrewd mind of
a sceptical turn. He made my friend
show him how to do the tricks, and
before long he became pretty good
at parlor magic himself.
MuIay AS photographer.
Photography interested the Sultan
intensely. He had a magnificent as
sortment of cameras. and soon learned
how to use them, although in doing so
he broke one of the tenets of the Mo-
hammedan religion, which forbids the
representation in any form of any 1iv-
ing person or thing. He liked being
photographed, but it had to be done
ION the quiet" to avoid raising
storm among the fanatical Moors.
One day he was photographed In
a curious way. 1t was a solemn feast
day. The populace assembled by
thousands outside the~@lace, and the
Sultan, who as head of the Melel<ite
sect of the Sunnite Mohammedans, is
pope as well as king, in Morocco, had
to go out and bless them. Against
the law he permitted us to be present
and witness the ceremony from be-
hind a screen which hid us from the
people. AS the Sultan blessed them,
my friend, the conjurer, took a snap
shot of him with a tiny kodak which
he had hidden beneath his coat, with
the lens exposed through one OF the
buttonholes. If he had been detected
he would probably have been roughly
handled by the fanatical mob, and the
Sultan could hardly have saved him.
The sultan Rivals William Tell.
Among the numberless toys import
ed from Europe We're several fine
rifles and revolvers. These the Sultan
understood, for he had been trained
to arms from his youth, like all the
Moors. l have never seen a finer
shot. He has nerves of iron, and an
unerring eye.
One day he told my friend, the con-
1urer, that he would shoot an egg off
the top of his head without hurting
him. My friend naturally suggested
that he should try the experiment with
somebody else. At that the Sultan

was the best in the world. The exec
utive and the Senate should be named

ty qualification for senators and sug-
gested 100000. Gouverneur Morris
wanted a life Senate so as to protect
the rich against the poor. There never

us to-day. Mr.. Ellsworth, afterwards
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
was astounded that some members
were so solicitious about the rights of
the people. "A new set of ideas seems
to have crept in he said, since the
articles of confederation were estab-
lished. Conventions of the people, or
with power derived from the people,
were not then thought Of This gives
US a clear idea of how small hold
democracy had on the men who
framed the Constitution. I might
quite hundreds of similar statements,
but these should suffice. 1t was finally
agreed that the state Legislature
could be depended upon to select SEN
ators who would represent wealth and
not democracy and the accuracy of
their judgment has been amply veri-
fed. Those of us who believe that
corporate wealth is too well served,
have the open door of constitutional
amendment which George Washing
ton suggested"
You therefore give this proposed
amendment precedence as an issue over
trusts and all other questions?" asked
Judge Sawyer

at is a great thing to strive for a
Democratic Senate, but it is a greater
one to have made the political discov-

bodies have been passing laws de-
