a TurkisN Love Story.

Do the Turks love their women? Yes
both in life and in death. In life, read
the love songs and in death the cpl
taphs to the beloved ones passed to the
silent realm.
1t is true the Turk goes to the Ara.
bic, the Greek, the Italian, for love
songs, but he sings these to his lady's
eyebrows, and the story lie tells of the
quality Of his love rises to the purity
at times of prayer:
One knocked at the be!oved's door,
and voice answered from within,
"Who is thereF"
Then he answered, "It is l."
Then the voice said, 'This house will
not hold thee and me-"
And the door was not opened
Then went the lover into the desert,
where there is nothing but Allah, and
tasted and prayed in solitude.
And after a year lie returned and
knocked again at the door.
And again the voice asked, "Who is
there?'
And he said, at is thyself."
And the door was opened to him.

Drcnps,.gics Smoke Cigars.


There Is no reason why dromedary
should not be partial 10 Il good cigar.
Most drunIcdurics. according to Il me-
nagCrc proprietor, are particularly
fond of tobacco smoke and can be made
to do almost anything under it's infiu-
cncc.
'Travelers in Egypt" he asserts, ''re-
ly more on tobacco smoke for their con-
troll over these huge beasts than any
thing else. When travelling on long
journeys the dromcdaries are in many
cases required to travel night and day
without rcst, and the beasts are kept
up to their tasks by smoking cigars.
The driver carries n triangular piece Of
wood. which is pierced at one point
like cigar holder. This is inserted in
the mouth Of the beast, the cigar being
Lit and pressed into the hole in the same
fashion followed by man.
'The dromedary Immediately closes
its eyes and puffs away through its nos
trils until the cigar is burned away.
The indulgence appears to refresh 1t,
and the keeper has no difficulty in per-
suading the animal to plod on without
further rest."-Pearsons.

The Bnrbnrous Auttee.

Suttee, or the practice of immolating
widows on their husbands funeral
pyres in India, was first attacked by
the British government in 1929. 1t was
on Dec. 4 Of that year that Lord Will
liam Bentick carried resolution in
council by which all who abetted SUIT
tee were declared guilty of "culpable
homicide" In the year 1917 700 wild
ows were burned alive in Bengal alone,
but since the passing of the act the
practice has entirely died out. Suttee
was really primitive rite, survival
from barbarous times, and not sane
toned by Hindooism, the passage in
the Vedas supporting it being a willful
mistranslation. But no previous gov
ernor had the courage to violate the
British tradition of religious tolera-
ton. Lord William Bentinck also sup
pressed thuggism, which made stran-

st. Fagan's castle in soith Wales is
named, like the parish in which it is
situated, after one Of the earliest mis-
sionaries to this island. According to
the Venerable Bede, st. Pagan was

and Monuments" records the settling
down in that part Of Wales of band
OF teachers and preachers known as
Fagans. The castle is picturesque

twelfth century by Sir Peter de Vele
The parish is noted as being the scene
Of fierce battle in 164S between the
parliamentary forces under Horton and
the Welsh royalists, the latter being de-
feated, leaving 800 killed on the field
and 5000 prisoners in the hands OF the
enemy.

know a contractor in New York who
goes about buildings he is constructing

lumber. He straightens them out and
tosses them into a nail box. ft is not
because he Is penurious, for he Is quite
generous. 1t is just fad. know a
banker In New York who lIas all en-
rclopes laid on his desk after the let
ters have been taken out. Then Mt his
leisure he cuts the envelopes apart and
lays the addressed sides In pile to be
used for scratch pads or memorandum
pads. That is his pastime, or fad, IL
you will. There is q rounder uptown
who never passes hotel without 60

Eskimo Tastes.

There is certainly no accounting for

Of the Eskimos. Tallow is their candy.
1t is put up in bright red packages
made out of the feet of waterfowl The
women cut off the red feet Of this bird
which is called the dovekie, draw out
the bones and blow up the skin so as to
make pouches. which they fill with the
reindeer tallOw for their little folk.
None Of the food that the Eskimos
eat seems very inviting to us, but they
are extremely fond of it and are very
apt to overeat. 1t is said by explorers
who have gone into Greenland that II
Is no uncommon sight to see an Eskimo
man who has eaten an enormous meal
of the raw, frozen flesh of the reindeer,
seal or walrus lying on his back and
eating blubber until he cannot move.

panied by frost which descended upon Lexing-

gregation being piloted by Messrs. Kelly and
Lennon dropped in huge gobs ON the just from
the, -four city. When the Minneapolis team
crawled from under the deluge they found them
selves in the second division, with the colonies
one lap ahead of them,
It was partly Mr. Morgan and it was partly
almost everybody else; but Mr.. Morgan was re-
sponsible for much of it. The saints took a
great liking to his style of delivery from the
inception of the game. and after the first In
ming sent samples of leage baseballs all over
the Lexington park lot. Ragged support and a
few slips of the tongue made by Umpire Hart
gave the saints their start. Another score was
scooped In during the third inning, and IN tne
sixth Mr.. Morgan was treated to some of the
ra oldest rapid firing of the season. After that
it was but a question of how much.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Ralph Rose has new am

Of the world.

champion. 1t is feared by some that he has
not as yet had time to recover from the Munroc
battle sufficiently to withstand any such sud-
den shock. Rose wants to become prizefghter,
and declares that he is the only man in the
world capable Of knocking out Jeffries. In
a letter to Chicago FRIEND he is credited with
saying:
II believe I am the only man in the world
arm than Jeffries I hit a harder punch
and if 1 ever hit him on the neck I'll kill him.

CHANGE IN: VIEW
At MILWAUKEE
Havenor Is Willing to Part Com
pany with the Brewer Ag-
gregation.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 14.-It is possible that
the Milwaukee ballclub will change ownership
before the spring of 1905. At least there is. a
proposition being considered now whereby num-
Der of local business men may purchase the
club outright from C. S. Havenor, or they may
secure controlling interest and reorganize the
club entirely. The idea is to have stock com
paiy with about 100 members, the same as at
Columbus, where the club has been most sue
cessful.
In speaking of the matter this morning, Owner
Havenor said eyes, it is true that 1 have
offered to sell the club and franchise to COM
pany of local business men, if they make good,
substantial offer. I do not ask for unreasonable
terms, but think the club is now in position
where it would prove money-maker. 1t Is not
the same as two years ago, when the club was
losing money and the association was in poor
shape owing to the baseball war. Now there
is organized baseball, and there is only one club
here, with salaries down to their proper level.
The plant is in good shape, and l have some
thing to offer for the money.
1T is immaterial to me whether the company
buys the club outright takes controlling In
terest. 1 would prefer to have the club bought
trolling interest and then join in and help keep
| the club to the front. cannot do more tha1
| that and will give the club over to the proper
parties at reasonable, terms. There were many
people who talked about taking the club when II
was losing venture, there should be nc
! hesitancy their part now to invest In some
| thing that has a future. It is up to the people
| here to buy or take an interest in the club
They have said they wanted to get into the
| business; and now offer them the opportunity. ;
| 1t is understood the price asked for the clut
| and franchise is around S15000 which would In
clude q ten-year lease the park at a very rea
| sonable rental.
