Sci ley, Gen. H. Kyd Douglas and
Albert Small, deceased, committee,
and admitted to the Washington
county bar March II, 1888. Since
then he has been actively employed
and has large and lucrative prac-
tice.
In November, 1888, he was elected
States Attorney for Washington
county over Tyron H. Edwards by a
large majority and served creditably
for four years, when he was again
nominated for the same office, but
was defeated at the November cleo
ton of 1887. In this defeat he had
plenty Of Republican company. In

member of the House of Delegates,
together with John H. Harp, Moses

publicans in that body. Mr.. Keedy
was chosen his party's leader of this
House. In 1891 he was nominated by
the Republicans for the Senate, but
was defeated by Senator Dayid Sci
bert. AT this election every candi-
date for county Office met Waterloo
defeat. In March, 1894, he was nom
mated by the Republicans for Mayor
of Hagerstown and elected, and in
two years thereafter was again nomi-
mated and re- elected.
Mr.. Keedy possesses well-cultiva-
ted and balanced mind in fact, he is
the leading Republican lawyer at the
bar, and possesses the confidence of
both parties. As a public speaker or
advocate at the bar he is forcible,
logical and entertaining. When ad-
dressing jury he is at home and
commands strict attention. On the
death of Judge Stake he was promi-
nently mentioned both by Democrats
and Republicans for associate Judge.
He married the daughter of Rev. DIR.

more Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, who was stationed

beginnings of civilization. And Habi-
bullah, who now carries on his great
work, was his right-hand man.
Europeans called Abdur barbar-
Gus tyrant, and certainly his methods
seemed cruel and merciless. He ruled
with an iron hand, but he had to rule
an iron people.
Travellers who entered his kingdom
thru the Khyber Pass saw, swinging
a hundred feet above their heads,
from precipitous rock, an iron cage,
containing a skeleton. It was the
skeleton Of bandit who had robbed
and murdered wayfarers in that pass
Abdur Rahman caught him, put him
in the cage and swung him over the
rock to die miserably of hunger and
thirst. Cruel, no doubt, but after that
his section of the Khyber Pass became
as safe as Fifth avenue, New York.
In such spirit he and his son
Habibullah administered the law until
they tanned the Afghans, suppressing
a hundred rebellions in the process.
Then they were able to make the laws
milder, and introduce education, CIV
ilizat1on and western arts and indus
tries, until to-day Afghanistan is far
and away the most progressive and
enlightened Of all Moslem states
the only Moslem state, in fact. which
is going ahead as Japan went ahead,
instead of falling into decay.
From his youth upward Habibullah
had been brave, enlightened, hard
working, patriotic prince. Abdur
Rahman was q stalwart believer in
the strenuous life. He taught by pre-
cept and example that luxury and
pleasure were unworthy of a prince.
Hunting, fighting, judging the people,
governing justly and working unceas-
ingly for the good of his country
these were the things which he taught
Habibullah from his childhood.
The pupil was apt. When he was a
child of 10, Abdur Rahman left him
to govern Kabul while he went out
to war. The child went among the
chiefs and the people, clear-eyed,
fearless, commanding, and issued his
orders and his rebukes as if he were
in truth a king. He said to a man,
do this'' and it was done; or, "Go!''
and the man went.
Some years later Abdur Rahman
was obliged to go to Turkestan for
two years to put down a rebellion.
During that period he left Habibullah
| then a young man, at Kabul, as regent,
| While the father was fighting in the
| field, the son ruled the country with
perfect justice and wisdom. One day
he had the chance to show the stuff
| Of which he was made.
! AS he was sitting in Judgment in his
palace, listening patiently to the long
| winded plants of rival suitors, a dozen
Hazara officers suddenly rushed into
| his presence. They were hot, dusty,
| bloodstained, and their clothing was
| torn into rags. They reported that
their battalion had broken out into
nautiny and killed some of it's officers

~ EvBRAL years ago an English
physician rode up to the en-
> trance Of the Ameer Of
Afghanistan's palace in Ka-
\ bull. He had been engaged
to act as court surgeon to the
Ameer Abdur Rahman, and
had called to pay his respects to that
potentate on arriving in his capital.
The ameer was away, suppress1ng
an insurrection-a familiar occupation
to the ruler Of the turbulent Afghans
but the doctor was told that his
eldest son, Prince Hab1bullah Khan,
would receive him.
He had never met an Oriental
prince, and he expected to see stout,
indolent, ignorant bejewelled creature
reclining on cushions and sleep1ly
smoking an opium pipe. He Won
dered whether he would be expected
to grovel on the floor, and mentally
resolved that he wouldn't.
When he entered the reception
room a ark-skinned, clear-eyed, ath-
letic young man, dressed In Euro
pean-looking military uniform, stepped
the hand.
How do you do, doctor?" he said
in excellent English. I'm awfully
glad to see you. Hope you had good
journey! I've been looking for you
anxiously. I'm in a fix, and you can
about the water supply Of London and
other big cities? I want to provide
q good water supply for Kabul, and
I've been reading up the subject, but
there are some points I can't under
stand"
This was not the kind Of Oriental
prince the doctor had expected, but
as soon as he had recovered from his
establishment, he discussed the sub
ject and was surprised to discover
how much Habibullah knew about 1t,
and about thousand other points of
western science and polity.
However did you manage to learn
30 much?" the doctor finally asked in
amazement. you never studied
abroad, did you?"
mo" replied the prince, 'but I
learned what I could from my father,
and from Europeans who came here,
and I read a great many books and
newspapers It Is my duty to work
and to study, night and day, to fit
myself to rule my people and make
them great nation. That is what my
father has taught me since I was
child, and he teaches the other princes
the same"
Abdur Rahman Khan, the Ameer
Of Afghanistan, In whose stead Habi-
bullah now reigns, was one Of the
worlds few great men. Competent
Judges ranked him with such supreme
statesmen as Prince Bismarck, Cavour
and the present emperor Of Austria.
He found the Afghans a turbulent
horde Of barbarian tribes; he left
them strong, united nation, for
whose alliance Russia and England
eagerly compete. Out of chaos he
created law, order, Justice and the

Hasten, o, prince!' they concluded.
Escape while there Is time! Those
sons of dogs are even now marching
upon the palace to slay YOU
Habibullah calmly lighted a Gig
arctic. II hasten, yes he added
''to meet Them And as soon as his
horse could be brought, he galloped
alone down the road by which the nnu-
tineers were advancing.
When they saw him they shouted
in savage triumph and leveled their
rifles at his head. Two or three shots
were fired, but other men knocked up
the guns and the bullets passed over
the princes head.
Undaunted, he galloped into the
midst Of the mutineers refined his
steed up on it's launches, and sternly
ordered them back to their camp.
They refused ito go, saying that their
officers had treated them like dogs
and they would not return to such a

into, and if wrong has been done
toward you, you shall have Justice

Awed by his reckless courage and
kingly bearing, the mutineest Wavered.
