ming burglary, but when you both
went to the lodge one night, and stayed
till near morning, and dad came home
with red Turkish fez, and told ma that
you and he had joined the shrine, which
was the highest degree in Masonry, and
you and he were mobiles, and all that rot,
| was on to you bigger than a house, and
you couldn't fool ME when you and dad
wlnked at each other, and talked about
crossing the hot sands.of the desert
Well, dad brought his red fez along,
cause think he expected he would
meet shriners all over the world, that he
could borrow money of. When we
struck Constantinople, and dad saw that
every last one of the Turks wore red
fez he felt as though he had got among
shriners, and he got his fez out of his
trunk, and he wears it all the time.
Dad acts as familiar with the Turks
here as though he owned harem. We
go to the low streets, about as wide as
street car. where Turks are selling
things, with dad wearing his fez, and
he begins to make motions and give
grand hailing signs of distress, and the
Turks look at him as though he had
robbed bank, and they charge enor-
nous prices for everything, and dad
pays with a smile, thinking his brother
Masons are fairly giving things away.
he LOOKS upon all men who wear the fez
as his brothers, and they look at him as
though he was crazy in the head.
The only trouble is that dad insists
! on talking to the women here without
an introduction, and woman in Turkey
had rather die than have a Christian
oog look at her. Dad was buying some
wormy figs of a merchant. who was
seated on the floor of his shop. and Civ
Ing him signs, when curtain behind the
TURK was pulled one side, and woman
with beautiful eyes, and her face COW
cred with veil, came out with a cun of
coffee for the Turk Dad shook hands
with her, and said: your husband and
belong to the same lodge" and he was
going to go inside and visit the family
when the woman drew a small dagger
! out OF the folds of her dress. and the
Turk drew one of these scimeters. and if
looked for moment as though was
going to be half orphan. particularly
when dad put his hand on her shoulder
| and petted it, and smiled one of those
masher smiles which he uses at home
and said: My good woman, you must
not get in the habit Of iabbing your hus-
bands friends with this crooked cutlery
though to be killed by so handsome a
woman would indeed be sweet death, =
but the bluff did not go. and the woman

Constantinople, Turkey.-My Dear
Old "Shriner"-We got out of Russia
Just in time to keep from being arrested
or blown up with bomb. Dad wanted
to go to Moscow, because he saw pic
ture once of Moscow being destroyed by
fire by Napoleon, or somebody, and he
wanted to see if they had ever built the
town up again, but felt as though
something serious was going to happen
in that country if We didn't look out,
and so l persuaded dad to go to Turkey,
and the day we started for Constantine
pie we got the news that the Nihilists
had thrown bomb under the carriage
of the Grand Duke Sergius, and blew
him and the carriage into small pieces
not bigger than a slice of summer Sau-
sage, and they had to sweep his remains
up in dustpan and bury them in two
quart fruit jar. Wouldn't that jar you?
When dad heard about that you
couldn't have kept him in Russia on a
bet, and so we let the authorities have
all the money we had, giving some to
each man who held us up, until we got out
of the country, and then we took the
first long breath we had taken since we
struck the God-forsaken country of the
car. If the bombs hold out do not think
there will be a quorum left in Russia
in a year. either cars, dukes or any
thing except peasants on the verge of
starvation and workingmen who have
not the heart to work wouldn't take
the whole of Russia as a gift, and have
to dodge bombs night and day.
Say, old man, you never dreamed that
knew all about you and dad joining
the Masons that time, but watched you
and dad giving each other signs and
grips, and whispering passwords into
each others ears, in the grocery, nights,
after you had locked up. l thought, at
the time, that you and dad were plan

would pass by in carriage, with an es-
cort, on the way to a mosque, to pray to
Allah, and everybody could see the sui
tan, so we got place on balcony, and
at the appointed time the procession
came IN sight 1t was imposing. but
solemn, and the people on both sides of
the street acted like they do in America
when the funeral of a great man is pass
ing. No man spoke, and all looked as
though they expected. if they moved, to
be arrested, and have stone tied to
their feet, and thrown into the Bos-
phorus, the way they kill one of the sui
tan's wives when she flirts with a stran-
ger.
We watched the soldiers, and finally
the carriage of the sultan came. and in
it was dried up man, with liver COM

little limerick, worth about ten cents,
and gave the Turk a five-dollar gold
piece, and while the Turk went In be-
hind the curtain to get the change told
dad now was the time to skip. and you
ought to have seen dad make a sprint
out the door and around corner, and up
anCAher street, while l followed him,
and we got away from the danger of be-
ing stabbed, but dad got his foot into it
again before we had gone block
Nobody in Constantinople ever hur
ries, or goes off walk, SO when the peo-
pie saw an old man, with fez on his
head, running amuck, as they say here,
followed by a beautiful boy, they began
to crawl into their holes, thinking dad
was crazy, but when we were passing a
sausage store, where about 20 dogs were
asleep in the strickland dad kicked half
a dozen dogs and yelled "get out, you
hounds" that settled it, and they knew
he was wrong in the head, and they
yelled for the police, and we were pulled
for fast driving, and taken before a
Turkish justice of the peace, followed by
the whole crowd.
The justice did not wear fez, but
had on turban, so dad did not give him
any signs, but after jabberlng a while
they sent for an interpreter, who could
talk pigeon English, and then dad had
a trial, and acted as his lawyer. l told
about how dad had tried to be kind and
genial to another mans wife, and how,
in his hurry to get away from the muir
derOuS husband he fell over a mess of
dogs, and that he was distinguished
American, who was in Turkey to nego-
tiate loan to the sultan
Say, that fixed them, and they all
made salams to dad, and bowed all over
themselves, and the justice of the peace
prayed to Allah, and the Interpreter
said we could go, but to be careful about
touching Turkish woman or dog, par
ticularly dog. as the Turks were very
sensitive on the dog question. So we
went out of the courtroom, and wan
dered around the town, and you can bet
that dad didn't look at any more wom-
en-, though they were everywhere with
wells that covered their faces so nothing
but their eyes could be seen.
Zee, Dut you never saw SUCH eyes as
these Turkish women have. They are
big and black, and they go right through
you, and clinch on the other side. Dad
says the facilities for getting into trou-
BILE are better in Constantinople than
| any place we have been, as the men look
| like bandits and the women look like eX-
ecutioners. Dad thanked me for help
| ing him out of that scrape by claiming
he was the agent of financial syndicate
that wanted to lend money to the sultan.
If had said dad was collecting agency,
to make the sultan pay up, they would
have sentenced him to be boiled in oil.
Well. we thought we had been in trou-
BILE before, but we are in it how worse
than ever. We heard at the hotel that at
II o'clock in the morning the sultan

THE FIRING" OF LISKUM.
Being an Illustrative Instance of the
Virtue of Submissive
ness.

Liskum was the butt of the Co
cal' room of the daily on which he
worked, says the Brooklyn Eagle. He
was dried-up wrinkled little chap.
who might have been either 20 or 60
years of age. Whatever went wrong
about the Office was laid to Liskum.
and whatever was attributed to him he
accepted without a murmur, only smil-
ing a crinkly little smile that won
the hearts of the whole staff. For,
joke him as they might, every re-
porter on the paper had a tender spot
for Liskum.
One day Tompkins, the STAR re-
porter, came in to find the group about
the big stove in the local room ind:g-
nantly discussing something.
"Liskum has been fired" some one
told him. There was a great fuss
about the Third ward story in this
mornings paper"
why, l wrote that myself. said
Tompkins. "Liskum had nothing to
do with it." And with that he start
ed for the managing editors room.
Mr.. Rockman sat by his fiat-topped
desk; Liskum stood opposite him.
Tompkins slowed down in an apollo
getic way, for lie remembered that he
had violated precedent by entering the
editors room without knocking.
Come in, Tompkins,'' said Mr.
Rockman. you are just the man I
want to see."
Lisl1um turned his crinkly smile ON
Tompkins, but spoke not word.
81 have just dismissed Mr.. Lisknm
for that Third ward story" said the
editor
81 heard so" replied Tompkins, "but
1 wrote that story myself. He mad
nothing to do with it,
81 know that" said the editor
THAT is why dismissed him. A for
midable delegation of Third ward peo-
pie came here this morning, and made
it very plain to me that something
must be done to soothe them l knew
you were such a fiery chap it would
never do to let you face them, SO !
brought Liskum in and Indignantly
dismissed him from the reportoriaI
staff. I am just now engaging him as
assistant city editor"
Liskum turned another crinkly smile
on Tompkins, and the star reporter
went back to the big stove in the city
room
Boys he said, "the old man is al
right"

Successful Lion-Breeding in Dublin.
Few, if any, menageries in the world
can show a more remarkable record of
lion-rearing than that of the Dublin
zoo. From the old lion-house, which
was recently replaced by a magnifi-
cent building to which Lord Roberts
has given his name, lions bred within
it's walls have been consigned to al
most every quarter of the globe. Up
wards of 200 cubs saw the light in
the old lion-house, and sum of near
ly $4,000 resulted from their sale to
other menageries, both at home and
abroad One lioness, whose career In
the gardens extended over a period of
16 years, gave birth in her time to
no fewer than 55 cubs, which realized
the sum of S1,400.
