The Travelling Story Teller.

The profession of Hakkawati, or
story teller, is a calling officially rec
ognized in oriental countries, and the
fortunate possessor of the necessary
gift is sure of a welcome and a liveli-
hood wherever he goes. "It is this
man." says an authority on oriental
customs, "who beyond all others re-
lieves the monotony of eastern life.
| have seen the Arabian Hakkawati
seated in the middle of a large crowd,
with the freight throwing a ruddy
glow over his mobile features, bringing
out clearly their varying expressions,
as he warns to his tale. The Arabs
have a saying that smiles and tears
are in the same Khurig,' or wallet,
and so well does the real Hakkawati
know his business that, hour after
hour, he can make his dark-skinned
audience shake with laughter or sob
in sympathy with the woes of some
imaginary heroine, or SILVER and feel
for their daggers, ready to spring to
their feet to avenge some dastardly
act of cruelty. No dime novel of the
western world could be more thrilling
than is this legendary fiction Of the
people of the far east"

PLANT CAUSE OF CANCER.
me Said TO BE n Prolific
Breeder of the Flesh-De-
youring Disease.

When was a child a neighbor rode
to our door on horseback. While he
was talking with my father his horse
crowded close to the porch and at
tempted to bite some twigs of an clean
der. The man was greatly alarmed
when he saw that the animal had bro
ken a stalk, asked for water and
washed the horses mouth thoroughly,
says a New York Sun writer.
My father asked the reason of his
anxiety. He said a mouthful of the
tWlgs would kill the horse almost in
stantly and told of a horse that died in
severe tremors a few minutes after eat
ing a few shoots of the plant; also of
a nelghbor who pruned her oleander
plants and threw the branches into a
little pond in the barnyard. The cat
tie drank the water and died.
Some year later a playmate was I'M
der medical treatment for an enlarge
ment OF the throat which seemed to
threaten goitre. Her house was an
oleander bower and the blossoms were
her favorite decoration. She sometimes
bit Off The stems if they were too long.
After months of the most thorough
treatment the swelling disappeared.
A young woman who was extremely
fond OF oleander plants kept a very
large tree in her room. One day in
midwinter she dug out a portion of the
earth and filled in the space with fresh
earth from the florists in order that
her favorite might throw out a new
crop of blossoms. That night she COM
planned of serious irritation of her
throat. A few days later the glands
below the ear enlarged until they were
on a Line with her cheek. For nearly
a year every remedy known to medical
science was tried. The swelling at last
yielded to treatment and she perma-
nently recovered.
Another woman transpianted and re-
potted a large number of oleanders, be-
coming wearied with her task. Sac
complained that night of a curious IT.
ritation in her throat. A swelling
came in the glands below her ear. Ali
remedies failed. 1t became malignant
and caused her death about six months
a%fterward.
Within the past year a death from
cancer of the face or mouth has &C.
CURED in a household where are the
largest and most beautiful oleanders l
have ever seen. Yet another case il

She had a clearly developed cancer,

took treatment for years and was, SO
Whether any symptoms Of the disease
have developed within the last eight
or ten years | am unable to say.
I might give other instances, but
these are to my mind sufficient ground
for belief that there is some connection
between the oleander and g%landular
affections of a more or less malignant
character.

: H LOST DAYS.

1 wish I had not gone
Back to the little town,
With all my wealth of memories, to sad
ly fling them down;
That l had no more seen
The lazy little street
THAI idles down the hillside where the
town and country meet.
l wish 1 had not gone
To loiter and to look,
And miss the boy-time glories in the one
tim singing brook
One day it was so-deep;
One day it was so wide;
One day it held cool shadows where the
sunshine went to hide.
I wish I had not traced
The roses once again,
And tried to find the redness and the
sweetness they had then;
Nor gone at early morn
To find them filled with dew,
Nor searched them for the honey that the
bees nj 1 once knew.
l wish I had not walked
The little country lane
And hoped to hear the birdsongs with the
echoing refrain;
That l a not gone out
Upon the meadow grass
Expecting vagrant clover scent and mint
tang as I'd pass.
I wish I had not gone
Back to the little town
Back to my castles built in Spain, to see
them crumble down;
To fail to hear the songs
That rose so gladly then;
To wake-and never dream that l could
be a boy again.

FOND OF FIGHTING.
In Almost Everyone There Is a De
sire to Take Part In or Wit
ness u Contest.

We are all fond of fighting. That is,
we all love to look at a fight and some
of us like to be in a fight. But we all love
to see one, says the San Francisco
Argonaut. There are some ~superaesthe-
tic and hyper-refined humans of both
sexes who think they do not like to see a
fight; some of them actually believe they
are sincere. But deep down in the aver
age man and woman the love of fight
exists. 1t is ingrained. 1t is c%ongenital.
1t is in the human baby. When he
screams, squalls and kicks If his will is
thwarted he is fighting.
So with the same baby when, grown
up into a boy, he pulls his little sisters
hair. 1t is partly, perhaps, the love
of fighting and partly, perhaps, the love
of giving pain, for cruelty also seems
to be part of the makeup of the human
animal. After little brother has finished
pulling little sisters hair and she has
dried her eyes she soothes her wounded
feeling by pulling off flies wings and
legs or pinching the cats tail under a
rocking chair, Of the higher flights of
juvenile cruelty to which her brother
rises when he ties two cats together by
their tails over a clothes line, where they
fight till nothing is left but their tail
tips-of these familiar facts we will not
speak.
When brother goes to school and then
to college-whether it be to the English
public" school or to the American pub
lie notwithstanding each other only
in name-to the academy, to the pre-
paratory school, to the university, he
speedily becomes past master in cruelty.
In most of these institutions he must
fight. Hazing exists in every college in
the country. Even the United States
government cannot stamp it out at West
Point and Annapolis. In both these
institutions fist fights under prize ring
rules are Of almost daily occurrence;
they are masterful battle and they have
not a little to do with making stout
hearted, stalwart fighters of our army
and navy officers. To those who object
to these battles the unanswerable reply
is that the boys are there to learn to fight
and that the way to learn to fight is to
tight.

HER "CUDDLE ARM"
Little Mother of the Tenements Felt
Homesick When 1t Was
Empty.

"Oh, no." said the nurse, walkin.
Town the long corridor with a visitor
just leaving the children's ward, III
was only her knee; her arm isn't in
jured. What made you think it was?"
why, the odd way she holds it, | sup
pCse," answered the visitor. "Bert all
the time, and curled round a. gathered
upbuncho Of coverlet. What makes her DO
that? | should think she would get
cramp."
The nurse smiled queerly, recounts
Youths Companion.
Yes; it doesn't lock altogether COM
Portable, but she isn't comfortable I'M
less we let her do it. At first we tried
to prevent her, and she always changed
the position when we told her to, but
she would cry quietly to herself. There
was no real harm, SO at that we sur
rendered and let her have her way, but
for a long while we couldn't find out
what made her want to do it; it was such
a queer whim. She couldn't seem to
give any reason, and We thought it was
just a stupid little obstinate notion with
no meaning; but at last she got over
being shy with us, and then she told.
She's II, you know-only just H."
The visitor nodded. "Yes-we1l?
well, her reason was because-this
is how she put tit made her more
homesick to feel her 'cuddle arm empty.
You see, ever since she was big enough
to stagger with a baby, there's been a
baby for her to carry. She's one of the
little mothers from the tenements.
She's been with us a good many weeks
now, and although her mother and IA
ther get out here nee in awhile to see
her, it's too far to walk with the other
children, and there are no car fares tC
spare while the father is out of a job.
She's friendly enough with the other
children of the ward, and she isn't lone
ly or unhappy; but whenever she lies
quiet by herself, o. gets a touch Of
inconsistencies from being tired or in
pain, she misses her little brothers and
sisters, and especially the baby-'my
baby!' she calls it. Then she pulls the
quilt into that little bunch, shuts her
eyes, and tries to imagine she has her
baby back on her cuddle arm"
The women looked at each other,
caught each other blinking tears, and
laughed.
And she ought to be playing with
dolls" murmured the visitor, "a child
like that! But-give me the address,
at any rate. She shall hold the baby in
her cuddle arm next visitors day, if l
have to marshal the whole family in
procession"

There was a good old lawyer OF The
good old southern type" said President
Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton, recent
ly, who had a most eloquent way Of
pleading. His brief for three days had
been a marvel of classical allusion and
legal erudition. The judge, however,
became a trifle impatient, and, as gem
thy as he could, intimated that the
docket was somewhat crowded and it
might be to the clients interest If the
lawyer could contrive to end his plea.
And do you know, the old barrister
declares that the last four days Of his
argument were a marvel Of condensa-
tion."-N. Y. Tribune.
