Alden. April 26.-The situation in
Turkish Arabia has become critical. 1t
transpires that only thousand of the
Turkish troops sent to the relief OF
Ria Pasha, Sanai and Fez fed thither
after sustaining a defeat at the hands
Of the insurgents. Ria Pasha troops
5000 strong, encountered the Arabs
in great force miles south of Sanai
March 80 and after sharp encounter
most of the troops consisting of Syrian
reserves laid down their arms or de
serted, the remnants of the Turks man
aging to reach Sanai the same evening.
The chief of staff, Issat Pasha, was
killed and seven guns were abandoned
and taken possession of by the Arabs,
who also captured 200 camels and
large quantities of rifles and ammuni,
tions.
The investment of Sanai by the in,
surgents is being tightened. The Syri-
an reinforcements which recently ar
rived in Arabia are unsatisfactory,
and the Ottoman officials are anxiously
awaiting the arrival or European bat
talions upon whom the fate of the cap
ital of Yemen province depends.

THE. HOPE OF MISFORTUNE.
Sorrow Has It's Part In the Shaping Of
Character.

Pain is a soul tonic. Sorrow often
brings out the best there is in u.s. Hap
piness does not develop character. 1t
gives 1t surface brightness and decks
II with prismatic bubbles. 1t takes the
deep-reaching arm of misfortune to
trouble the depths and bring out the
pearls that lie there. The most mag
netic faces are lined by thought and
noble care.
Strong, unselfish love. even IL mis-
placed and unappreciated, ennobles
the lover 1t is the frivolous, vanity
born emotions that fritter away char
acter and make faces insignificant.
To fail in high aim after earnest and
honest effort is not failure. The gain 1t
brings in strength and discipline will
appear in other directions.
Misfortune has often in the history
of the world been the means of max
