HIS MAJESTY THE KING. A ROMANCE OF
= THE HAREM. By James Jeffrey Roche.
Illustrated by Herford New York: R.. h.
Russell. Price, $1.50.
Mr. Roche injects much quiet humor
in this book which suggests some Of the
best Arabian Knights tales, favored with
little modern liberty of speech and satire.
The Pasha Muley Mustapha his wife Kay
enna Shacabac, the Sage; Badeg the
Soothsayer, illustrate the wealth of Mo-
hammeran wit and wisdom directed in
deceivfng and being deceived as to the sex
of Muley's baby, concealed by the mother
through fear of bad training by the pasha
While the latter was tricked cleverly into
a belief that the child was girl, whom it
was necessary to proclaim as a boy in the
interest of the family. The plot, dis
sipated when the time came for the youth
to wed a maiden, is we'll wrought out and
every page sparkles with Islamic wit and
shrewd proberbs, Shacabac himself prov
ing himself very Solomon in apothegm.
The illustrations are fully in keeping with
the spirit of the text.

Senator Bradley Discusses Ms Pass Bill

From the jefferson city Tribune
The first real animated discussion
to come up in the Senate occurred
Thursday morning, when Senator
John Bradley of st. Francois
comfy moved to have his bill, No.
3, relating to the giving of n pass
by any railroad company, ordered
engrossed and printed after the
committee to which it had been
referred had reported uniavorably
upon its passage.
The discussion came when the
Committee on Engross ment re-.
ported on tue bills for engrossmeut.
The committees report was averse
to the bill in question, and Senator
Bradley took the floor to champion
the measure. He deplored the
almost universal use of passes on
railroads among legislators, and
said that each lawmaker would feel
freer and more independent of
corporation Influences should the
railroads be prohibited from issu-
ing any passes at all. He said that
there were ten thousand annual
passes in use on one railroad sys-
TEN in Missouri. He opposed the
idea of making n farmer pay three
cents per mile for transportation
and letting the other fellow ride
