Nowadays, she said, you can reap
that which you have sown. You can
gather your wheat into your gamers.
You do not fear that your wife will be
stolen from you, or your children slain,
while you work in your fields. Your
homes and occupations are secure
now
Yes he replied, there is all that"
And what is there not? What is lost
which you regret?"
There is no longer chance for a
man." said the old Mohammedan, heav-
ing a regretfuI sigh. IN olden days,
before the Christians came to rule over
US, the beggar by the wayside might be-
come Grand Vizier if the King did but
smile upon him.
"And equally she replied, his head
might be cut off if he failed to laugh
at the Kings last joke
''We liked to take that chance said
the Mohammedan. .....
There is the secret of the hold which
the Moslem political system has upon
its adherents. 1t is an enormous gam
BILE. The career is open to the lucky
and the gifted as it is under no other
social organiza ton.
Americans are fond of dwelling upon
the rise of poor boys to positions of af-
fuence and dignity in the American
Commonwealth by sheer force of native
merit. There are thousand stories in
Mohammedan lands which parallel the
progress OF Lincoln from log cabin to
White House. III
But the possibilities Of advancement
in a Mohammedan civilization i-nrleas-
urably surpass those in America or any
other Western country. Here the
truckman may become millionaire,
but there the base-born slave may be-
come an emperor welding sway over
millions O. subjects.
O.. Tie spirit Of The Thousand and One
Nights" dominates the Mohammedan
world to-day. AS If, by the rubbing 81

Take the case Of Rabah, The Bla.ls
Napoleon of the Sudan" He started
life as a slave Of zebehr Pacfla, e
great Central African warrior.
He imbibed the spirit Of Mohaynnadan
fanatieism so thoroughly that whea his
master died he was able to take his
place and WELD absolute Sovereignty
over millions of warlike tribes nen. No
body thought Of saying, "Wll should
this slave. rule over us?" He WIS the
strongest man in sight, and he natural
~ ruled in a democracy of physical
force, until eventually his power was
broken by the French in West Africa.
A ATohammedan feels that what
Rabah and dozen men like him have
done, he may do. There is the chance
In the conditions under which he lives
he may always have the luck to fight
his way to the top if he is not sum

There may be a million chances to one
that he will never be anything except

New York, March 90 New York
ers have been amazed by the freedom
with which CHARLES e. Welborn, pre-
moter and mine operator from West
Liberty, KY, handles 81 900 bills. A
yellow slip representing that amount
was recently picked mp on an Erie fer

he dropped it. Inasmuch as almost u
dozen other people confessed that they
have contracted the habit of carrying
81 900 bills loose in their pockets, and
rode on the ferryboat that day, Mr..
welborn has brought suit to establish
his claim.
It was said today in the Child's
building, 1870 Broadway, where Mr..
welborn has an office, that he never
travels with less than $4,000 or si0.-
