upon their shoulders baskets OF earth ard

railway. The carriage road is French, TOO;
and ve'y good road il is, Some men were
repairing it with most ingenious roller.
II was a great round stone. drawn by two
oxen, and having its axle prolonged by
twenty-foot pole, at the end OF which bare
legged Arb was fastened to balance the
whole affair. II the stone had topped over.
the picture of the Arab dangling at the top
OF the slender flagstaff would have been
worth watching
All along the ride we were reminded Of
the past, II is a fertile soil; but the very
wheat fields are different from ours, Only
a few yards n width. they are often Of tre-
mendous length. hesitate to commit my
self to figures; but IL is certa in that tho th.n.
green fields would stretch away in tie dis
lance until lost over some little elevation.
At one place The road was cut through hill
honeycombed with rock tombs which tie
haj said we're Jewish. Every now and then
we passed a tell or great hemspherich
mound. built up OF the rubbish of dozen
ruined towns for even as late as Roman times
this was well cultivated and populous
country. There Is now no lumber available
for building purposes. and in a number OF
villages the houses are all built with conicL
roofs OF stone. Where the rock happens to
be OF a reddish tinge. the houses remind one
of nothing 90 much as a collection of Indian
wigwams: where the stone is white. as at
Tell el-Biseh. 1t glitters and sparkles like .
fairy city cut out Of loaf sugar.

An Indian without a Country.
From the Kansas City journal.

From Me Kansas CITY Journal
George Foster. one OF the patriarchs OF
the Cussehta town. appeared before the
Dawes Commission recently as a witness In
an enrolment case. Foster is sure enough
full-blooded Indian. but he is a man without
a country.
He was once enrolled as Seminole. but
in an evil moment he elected to establish his
citizenship In the Creek Nation as a member
OF the Cussehta town. His name was stricken
from the Seminole roll and the roll was closed
forever in accordance with treaty provision.
Meantime he neglected to have his name
placed on the final roll Of the Cussehta town.
and 80 was shut out OF both nations. He has
made repeated efforts to establish his rights
in the Greek nation, but without success.
Nothing but a special act Of Congress can
restore him his lost citizenship.
