admiral says of Harris:
He was seized and carried back
some ten or twelve miles into the coun-
try and, though maEy of the tribesmen
were his warm friends, held to eX
change for some prisoners taken from
the tribe and held in Tangicr. From
Harris account he narrowly escaped
| murder, as many of the unruly and
fanatic hillsmen knew nothing of him
except that he was n Christian and Il
captive. He was, after Il three weeks
detention, exchanged for seventeen Of
the prisoners mentioned. This was
the foundation of the present difficulty.
In conclusion the admiral says:
''There can be but one outcome which
can be insisted upon, which is Il yield
ing by the sultan to Raisuli'S demands,
| Apart from the fact that the former
knows he is powerlcss to accomplish
anything against Raisuli's people in

an attempt would be a signal for the

has been put upon the sultan to force

Ali, sherecf of WaZan, a son of the late
grand shereef who married m English
woman, Is now with the captives. AS
he represents one Of the foremost re-
ligious families his influence over the

practically insisted upon such action in

Leisure for Children.

Do not try to keep children contin
ually occupied. Occasionally the little
ones will come to you for ideas, but
as rule they will make their own
amusements. Children require plenty
of change and rest and If left alone
when tired of one thing they will eth
er drop to sleep or find some new oc-
cupation. Parents often make the
mistake of occupying all the child's
time, but this is not only wearying
for the little one, but it is distinctly
unfair; child cannot be expected to
fill up every moment as a grown per-
son would do, Let the children romp
and play as long as possible and when
1t Is necessary for them to begin study
or even to take up certain duties, still
recognize the playtlme, and see that
the boy or girl has as much recrea-
ton as possible. They will work ever
so much better If the work time be
interspersed with play-Exchange.

Through the generosity Of the
Bridgeport lodge of Elks, Peter Mar

by the unfortunate accident which he
met with while witnessing the Blks'
banner raising. A runaway horse ran
him down and dislocated his collar

The bone was not fractured as at

looking for work, and when the Elks
heard that he had wife and family
dependent upon him for support they
sent committee out to investigate.
Markoon, as result, was sent back
to Wallingford to-day, after the Bridge
port lodge of Elks had paid his medical
expenses, secured his ticket, given him
money for incidental expenses, and
told him to calculate upon IS per week
for the next four weeks.
