Imam Hussein has laid down twelve
rules to be observed at meal times.
The first four are essential to the
salvation Of all true Moslems. They
must not forget to say "Bismillah' be-
fore tasting each dish; they must re-
frain from eating Of the forbidden vi
ands; they must end by returning
thanks to God, and they should assure
themselves that the food laid before
them has been bought with money OBJ
tanned from legal source This COIN
mandment is often broken both by the
host and by the guests. Tho second
four, though not generally followed,
are admitted by all to be good forrA,"
and consist of washing the hands be-
fore meat, in sitting down inclined to
the left, in eating with the thumb and
the first two fingers Of the right hand,
which must be kept specially clean for
the purpose. The last four rules deal
with matters Of social etiquette. They
are kept by most Mohammedans in
polite society and run as follows: One
must not stretch across the tablecloth
but should partake only OF such dishes
as are within ones reach; one should
not overload ones mouth, nor forget
to masticate the food thoroughly; and
one should keep the eyes downcast and
the tongue silent.
1t is a tradition that washing the
hands before meals will materially
help the true Moslem to grow rich and
be the means OF delivering him from all
diseases. II he rubs his eyes immedi-
ately after the ablution they will never
be sore. The left hand must not be
used in eating unless the right be dis
abled. When drinking water he must
sit down and take three draughts.
Most of the Mohammedans use odd
shaped drinking vessels made Of baked
clay, which have two orificeS; the one
at the top is called the mouth" and
the other, which runs through a pro-
jected tube at the side, is known as
the meek" The drinker must be care
full not to lay his lips to the mouth"
which is the dwelling place Of the
young deves OF Mohammedan giants.

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.

Minneapolis Journal: The state.
ment by Walter Wellman in the Chi.
cago Record-Herald that the New
York Suns opposition to president
Roosevelt is inspired, if not dictated,
by Mr.. Morgan, who is supposed to
own, or at least to control, the Sun,
recalls an incident which they tell
about Washington. NJ,
1t appears that when the merger
case was first instituted by the fed
eral government, Mr.. Morgan, SO the
story goes, vas somewhere In the
south. When he read in the newspa-
pers that the federal government
would proceed against the Northern
Securities company under the Sher-
man law, he fastened to Washing
ton in his private car, drove to the
white house and invaded the execu-
tive presence: He was in a state OF
considerable excitement and began to
express his disaprroval of the action
of the government vigorously. He
said it was an outrage for the govern
ment to take such a step; that it had
no business to interfere with plans
of that character, and certainly, if the
government felt it necessary to begin
such proceedings in the courts, it
ought at least to have allowed those
most interested to know of it in adj
vance and give them a chance to
'stand from UNDER" that it vas not
right to attack great interests of that
kind without warning, when it would
have been very easy to have allowed
those interested to know about it in
advance.
At this point Mr.. Morgan was
promptly interrupted by the president,
who turned upon the excited financier
and said to him: "Mr. Morgan, you
are the last man who should be told
about a matter of this kind. l want
it distinctly understood mat during
this administration it shall not be
said that there is a ticker in the
white house recording instructions
from Wall street."
Mr.. Morgan discovered at that pre-
else moment of time that he was talk
ing to the president of the whole
United States.
Perhaps this may explain some
things that have appeared in the Sun.

cry q will always be strictly honest
and upright; but the people have TAX
en- pride in the apparent fact that as
an almost invariable rule the public
service was not only competent but
clean, not only efficient out void of
corruption. Let us continue so to be-
lieve, Notwithstanding these shameful
disclosures in various departments;
hoping that they are due to a search
ing hunt for whatever official crook
edness and wickedness exist, and the
determination to suppress them, and
to weed the service OF all dishonest
men.
It is certain that the president will
have no crooked men in the govern
ment service if he knows it, and he
seems determined to find out such
men and make examples of them.

THE PROPER A

Joe Howard in Boston Globe: There
is but one ''best" way to catch the
public eye, in an ~inoffensive and pure
ly legitimate manner The greatest
merchants long since found out that
way. Look at the amazing amount OF
spread "ads,' plain, displayed and
small "ads," published in all the real
~ successful papers of the land. In
each city there are favorite media
used by the chief traders, and also by
the humber seekers for help in times
of need. Arrayed attractively and
classified expertly, these columns OF
announcement tell, even to the ordi-
nary reader, a story OF human inter
est that few romances can equal. Ev-
cry phase of existence has it's photo
graph, suggestion or plea. The cassi-
fication Of announcements is a COM
paratively new and certainly a help
full aid to the student of modern life.
Old Mr.. Bennett justified he per-
sonals of his paper on the ground that
everything of human interest was en-
titled to a chance. The desire to.
know the news makes people buy a
newspaper. Every advertiser is in
terested to see his appeal. You are
not likely to look from your paper
to the posters on the fences, and as
you are in a car the freaks on the
street car don't catch your eye.

JUSTIFIED FOR ONCE.

Occasionally it happens that some
of the men who practice in the courts
of the land, in order to make a point
with a jury, deem it necessary to at
tack the characters and regulations
of the men connected with the news
paper profession, particularly when
it occurs that a reporter or other
newspaper man gives testimony in
cases in which they are retained. A
couple Of instances of this sort have
come under the notice of The Gazette
during the past few days. One was
at Butte and the other in Billings.
In each reporters were witnesses for
the prosecution, and totally unmind-
full of the many and repeated courtes-
les they had received from the repre-
sentatives of the press, attorneys for
the defense sought to nullify that
testimony by referring to the report
ers and newspaper men generally as
unreliable and untrustworthy, with
special reference to the untruthfulness
of the particular ones then under con
sideration. j msi
Basing it's assertion upon general
report concerning the men
who made the attacks, this
newspaper is free to admit
that for once they were justified,
The reporters had on several occas
sions referred to the gentlemen as
lawyers"

Chicago Chronicle: For once we
may be sure that gentlemen of the
medical profession will cordially and
unreservediy indorse the suggestion
of a learned brother-the learned
brother being a Kansas City physi-
clan who suggests that the vermiform
appendix shall be removed from every
infant a few days after birth, thus
appendicitis impossible. AS
medical gentlemen charge from $3.50
upward for removing an appendix,
the Kansas City proposition undoubt-
eddy will be hailed as an inspiration
of medical genius.

WEED THEM OUT.

Portland Telegram: James N. Ty-
ner, who has been summarily dismiss
ed from his position as an assistant
| encouragement for the pcstoffice de-
partment, is an old man whose mental
faculties are no doubt weakened. He
is n years old, and has been in Office
for more than a third of a century.
| He was postmaster general under the
| Hayes administration, and has since
| filled subordinate positions in that de-
partment. 1t is a pity that an old
man like him should be connected
with the wholesale frauds reported to
have been unearthed recently, but
from the reports sent out from Wash
ington there seems to be no doubt
that he is more or less mixed up with
these disgraceful transactions.
How many has public life at Wash
ington corrupted? How many is it
%corrupting now? We hear of some of
these frauds occasionally, here and
there; they become so fragrant that
they cannot longer be concealed or
suppressed; but how many do we
never hear about? To what extent
are frauds perpetrated that
come to light? More Of these crook
ed transactions have been unearthed
recently than at any time since the
4. - %h0
war, but it may be that this is not
because the public service is more
corrupt than it has been; rather be-
cause greater vigilance in detecting
and exposing fraud is being exercised.
At least let us hope that such is the
case.

ployes it cannot be expected that ev-

following year he was chosen 10 the most
important professorship in the country, a

N GOOD RESULT.

Chicago Tribune: The president
has emerged from Yellowstone park
after his two weeks stay in it's wilds
and it's wonders. His play time is
over, and now, instead of communing
with "the visible forms of nature"
without responsibility or conventions,
he must with the visible
form of people, face the responsible
ity and pay proper Difference to the
conventions. Undoubtedly to a mar
Of the presidents makeup and physi-
cal vigor and strenuous habit of life
the last two weeks have been special
ly enjoyable. He has been a privilege
ed spectator OF geysers, hot springs,
mud volcanoes, paint pots, the mar
wells Of Hell's Half Acre, and the
glories of the Yellowstone canyon.
He has been followed by admiring
herds Of elk and greeted by mountain
sheep and goats. With every bird
but one he has been on terms OF &C
quaintance, and to that n stranger
his comrade, John Burroughs, could
give him introduction. He has had
twenty-mile walks by himself, and
what twenty miles Of walking OF the
beaten ways OF the Yellowstone park
means only those who have tried one
mile can tell.
In these two weeks the president
must have accumulated sufficient OF
natures healthful tonic for the rest
of the tour. Even to the ordinary
tourist who rushes through the park
by schedule, there is something won
derfully celebrating in it's pure, clear,
bracing air. 1t is one Of the few
breathing spots not yet tainted by
man. The presidents visit and his
felicitous references to it in. his short
address at Gardiner will have the good
result of calling attention to the park,
and perhaps may stimulate some of
those who make annual tours to Cal
ifornia, Florida and Europe to pay a

calls "the most absolutely unique"
and 'sveritable wonderland in any CIV
ilized country" The park now is
easily accessible. Its hotels are adj
mirably conducted. A two weeks
stay is inexpensive when compared
to the expense of the ordinary noun
tain and seaside resorts, and the
tourist will find little of discomfort.
1t is encouraging to note that the
president says "The government must
continue to appropriate for it, and es-
pecially in the direction OF completing
and %perfecting an excellent system OF
driveways." This is to the point.
At present one main t~horoughfare
.trayerses a portion only of the park,
and, as a rule, it is well kept up, but
it should be continued to the parks
limit, and connecting drives should be
laid out, SO that it will be possible
for tourists easily to reach some OF
the wonders which now are only ac-
cessible by horseback or by long
tramping on foot, involving the neces-
sity of camping. II the presidents
visit has had no other result than to
call public attention and the atten-
ton of congress to this wonderland it
would not have been in vain.

Defeat Senator fioney.

Governor Longino has been spending
the week pushing his Senatorial cam
paign on the Gulf coast, and reports in
dicate that he is meeting with splendid
results, being greeted by large and en-
thusiastic audiences at all speaking
points. This, however, Is not new fea-
ture, as the Governor everywhere has
secured large audiences since the OPEN
ing OF his campaign, and his address
given attentive and respectful hearing,
even by those who politically oppose him.
Perhaps never before since The daas oi
ante-bellum politics has Senatorial
candidate met with such favor in pre-
aenting mis- claims 10 the people.
Governor Longino win open next week
at Waynesboro, speaking there in tho
forenoon and in Meridian at night. His
previous engagement to speak at Meri-
dian was postponed on account OF n
heavy storm, and in response to gene
raj demand a second engagement was
made.
Tuesday viii be spent at Raymond, in
Kinds county, Woodville and Centrevil-
10 are the objective points on wednes-
day, Liberty and Gloster on Thursday,
Roxie and Mcadville on Friday and Port
Gibson on Saturday.
The Governors splendid assurance OF
victory Is illustrated by movement in
the enemy's camp last week when some
OF Senator Moneys friends met at
Winona and organized campaign
committee. CONSERVATION has been
thrown in.thoir ranks by the splendid
fighting organization OF the Cover
nor which every where presents n
solid and impregnable front. Realizing
that defeat Is staring their candidate In
the face, the wayering hosts OF the OPP
position met and decided TO make final
stand before sounding the retreat that
must inevitably follow unless all signs
and assurances are Disappointing.
Senator Money dealt death blow to
his own cause in the speech at Greer
wood wherein he admitted that he could
have prevented the confirmation of me-
groes 70 Federal offices in Mississippi
but failed to do so. Another potent fac
tor in his undoing Is his continued agi-
tation OF tine negro question, despite the
advice and rcmonstrances OF some OF his
warmest friends who realize that appeals
to race prejudice will act as boomerang
to all who use il as n vehicle in the vain
attempt to ride into office.
tits now less than thirty days until
the first primary, and Senator Money
cannot possibly overcome his opposing
hosts during this brief period, nor is
there any factor which could possibly
enter into the contest to prevent the
election OF Governor Longino. Con-
fidence is felt that the Governor will
carry at least fifty counties.
