seen another brother struggling in the
hands of a sahib who was striking him with

for help, and, believing his life was in
danger, they ran to his assistance, even as
the sahib struck him so heavy blow
as to knock him down. The stick

their search for the missing men and the
stolen property. Aguf the Red-so named

was absolutely no clue to the other two

that Ben Alif and his friends were hunting
them day and night.

who could better impersonate ones idea or

nose with the wide sensitive nostrils, then
the chin, rather long, also, and strong look

As Her Praise is Sung.
The peachblow tinted, Acknowledged little
Japanese maiden might not appeal very
strongly to the westerner's' idea of beauty,
nor the comely wide-eyed beauty of the
west appeal to the orientars sense of phys
ical perfection: the Frenchwoman and the
English girl who close as they are in loca-
ton rarely agree on anything concerning
themselves might vehemently deny any re-
semblance, nevertheless, the likeness is
there among them all-the Russian beauty,
the idol of the artistic Italians, the perfect
woman over whom the Frenchmen rave, the
German girl whose beauty is toasted by all
of her countrymen. the lovely English Wo-

the American girl whose beauty is sung all

1t does not matter whether each represen-

the lowest class. She has the features that
perfect women, those who have been
selected as types of beauty of the world s
greatest nations have proven, through the
successful endeavor of artists both here

type.

The patrician loneliness of Princess Henry
of Pless represents fair type of German
beauty: the Well-poised head. the direct,

chin and the beautiful neck, show her claim
to the international type.
Quite different and yet with a striking

and a simple lie. See statement
of Judge J. J. Word of the third

tions in taking Burton and Stat

me, going directly there and re-
turning to Jail same way. There
was no delay, but were returned

of bond and authorize me to take
it, which was done and | was in

ties, and released him. Had |

GrtG1n Ot the 1urban,

The origin of rhe tGrban must be
BOXED for not. as commonly believed,
among Moslems, but as sign Of au-
thority and honor dating back 10 thI
earliest periods OF Jewish history. The
term used in the Hebrew Bible for
putting on the bonnet Of the high
priest is from root meaning ito bind
round" The words inter, hood. dia-
dem. as used in the Old Testament. are
only variations of the word turban.
Jerome tells us that the turban has q
place in the most ancient records OF
history. The variations as adopted by
Mohammedans are many. Their own
authorities hint ut thousand methods
Of arranging the turban, which shows
not only tile tribe and religious dis
tinction. but even the personal pecul'
iarities OF the wearer.
An old legend traces the turban to
an act of desperate courage recorded Of
the ancient Levantines. A brave band
Of warriors are said to have wrapped
their winding sheets round their heads
as they devoted themselves to certain
death to save their comrades on the
battlefield.
