ONLY FUN.
Experience That Teaches Debtor.
 Should Play No Franks.

Two middle-aged men stood in front of a poulterer's shop, says Lon- don Tit-Bits, and one of them looked very sly and cunning as he said:
 s'Let's play a joke on him. I'll take that turkey down and hide it, and we'll hear him rave"
 He took the bird off the hook and started to hide it in barrel round the corner, when a policeman, who was coming up and had seen the theft, took him by the collar.
 Cts only for funr' protested the man, in explanation.
 "oh, is it? We'll, you can explain that at the station
 "But the poulterer knows me-" | s'Does he? Come in and we'll sec"
 The situation was explained to the poulterer, who, after looking hard at the man for few seconds, replied: :, .I can't say that 1 know you"
 "But l have been dealing here for a long time. My name is on your books,'' said the other, now thor oughly frightened.
 s'Let's see; you owe me balance of two pounds"
 "I--believe so."
 "And you have owed it for four months. 1 can't say l know you"
 "But I'm going to pay. Here take it out of this note. I always pay my debts"
 Exactly; three pounds back. Off, cer, I think l know him. Yes, I'm sure I do. He took the turkey fol fun, and you may let him go."

4 MEAL IN THE DESERT.
You Eat with Your Fingers But Get
 Delicious Food.


 The sheik of Dwirat, says the Lon don Graphic, was handsome old man, with handsome sons, and gov erning very good-looking people so far as l could judge from the mas culine section of the townsfolk, the women of Dwirat, as of all the Ber- Der towns in south Tunis, being yelled Ca contrast to the nomads whether Berber or Arab whose women go completely un- veiled). The Dwirati are race of al- most pure Berber blood, speaking among themselves the old Berber tongue, which was the universal lan- guage of North Africa before the in- trusion of Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks or Arabs. Their complexions are fair, inclining to ruddy (though, of course, sun tanned when exposed); !; they have black or blackish brown hair, we'll marked black eyebrows and long lashed brown eyes. The fea- lures were good, most of the noses straight and we'll carved, and free from the Arab ''beakiness. had arrived at noon; the sun was hot and l was hungry, so l rested for awhile in the small, dark cube of house where l was to lodge. Then ate the meal prepared for me by the sheik's household. It consisted of huge wooden platter of kuskus, a dish of stewed pigeons and dessert of dates and figs. Some of these items deserve a special description. Kus- kus is crushed wheat Cooking like brown rice), cooked in the steam of meat, richly favored, sufficiently salted and smartly peppered. Pieces of the meat are afterward served up with it, and raisins are sparsely mixed with the soft, saturated, golden grain. It is simply delicious, and most grateful to very hungry man no bother about knives and forks and carving! You just hand in with finger tips mouthful after mouthful of this rich porridge, varying its monotony with pieces of meat or sweet raisins, and so sit and stuff yourself till the outrageous appetite of desert riding is appeased. Then you wash your fingers, drink long draught of cold, pure water, and turn to the desert and the thick, sweet coffee which concludes most Arab re- pasts. The dried figs are very good. The fruit is grown in all the stream valleys of this Matmata country. When quite ripe the figs are cut com pletely in two, and the halves dry in the sun in long contorted strips. As these resemble old leather cuttings or pieces of worn-out boots, they are most uninviting in appearance, but in taste are richly sweet and we'll Qayored.
