they are only negroes. a little bleached,
with red paint on their cheeks. If was
going to marry an Egyptian woman, i
would take her to Norway, or up to-
wards the north pole, where it is night
all day, and you wouldn't realize that
you were married to colored woman.
To be around among these Egyptians is
good deal like having a pass behind
the scenes at the play of Ben Hur in New
York, only here the dark and dangerous
women are the real thing, instead of
being white girls with black paint on.
We have just got back from the pyra-
mids, and dad is being treated for spinal
meningitis, on account of riding camel.
I never tried harder to get dad to go
anywhere on the cars than l did to get
him to go to the pyramids by rail, as
millionaire should, but he said he was
going to break camel to the saddle.
and then buy him and take him home
for side show. So we went down to
the camel garage, and hired camel for
dad. and four camels for the arabs and
things he wanted for an escort, and
and carriages. and trolleys, and every
thing that we could have hired. and
been comfortable for the ten-mile ride.
but dad was mashed on the camel. and
he got it.
Well, sir, it was not one of these
worlds fair camels that lay down for
you to get on, and then got up on the
installment plan. and chuck you for
ward and aft, but a proud Egyptian
camel that stands up straight and
makes you climb up on stepladder.
Dad got along up the camel's ribs,
when the stepladder fell, and he grabbed
hold of the hair on the two humps, and
the humps were loose and they Topped
over on the side, and it must have hurt
the camel's feelings to have his humps
pulled down. so he reached around his
head and took a mouthful out of the seat
OF dads pants, and dad yelled to the
camel to let go, and the Arabs amputat-
ed the camel from dads trousers, and
pushed dad up on top with a bamboo
pole with a crotch in it. and when dad
got settled between the humps he said.
"Let 'er co. and we started.
Dad could have had camel with a
platform on top. and an awning, but he
insisted on taking his camel raw, and
he sat there between those humps. his
trousers worked up towards his knees,
showing his red socks and blue drawers.
and his face got pale from sea sickness,
and the red, white and blue colors made
me think of a fourth of July at home.
We went out of town like a wild west
show, and dad seemed happy, except
that every time an automobile went
Whizzing along, dads camel got the
jumps and waltzed sideways, out into
the sandy desert, and chewed at dads
socks, so part Of the time dad had to
draw up his legs and sit on one hump.
and put his shoes on the other hump
The Arabs on the other camels would
ride up alongside and steer dads camel
back into the road. by sticking sharp
sticks into the camel. and the animal
would yawn and groan and make up

faces at me on my jackass. and finally
dad wanted to change works with me
and ride my jackass but told him We
had left the stepladder back at Cairo, so
dad hung to his mountainous steed, but
the dust blew so you couldn't see, and it
was getting monotonous when the
queerest thing happened. y
You have heard that camels can fill up
with water and go for week without
asking for any more. Well, guess the
week was up, and it was time to load the
camels with water, for as we came to
the Nile every last camel made a rush
for the river, and they went in like a
yoke Of oxen on stampede, and waded
In clear up to the humps, and began to
drink, and dad yelled for life preserver.
and pulled his feet up on top and sat
there like frog on q pond lily leaf.

Heaven had sent to save the train and

Mamie thanked everybody In a sweet,

mother was dead, and that there was
no one to care for the children and run
the house in the absence of her father
but herself.
Told Her Story.
With the modesty of the violets by
her side, the girl talked shyly of her
family affairs, and explained why it
would be impossible for her to accept
the many kind offers showered upon
her for home in big house, with serv-

Fish as Food.

Fish, because of its tendency rapidly
to decompose, holds a peculiar position
among foods: In England it is the SUBJ
ject Of special act of parliament. So
long ago as 1893 men knew the evil con-
sequences resulting from eating mack
erel Of uncertain post-mortem age. So
they passed an act providing that except
during the hours of divine service this
fish could be sold on Sunday This act
has never been repealed.

Burn the Fringe.

There is better way to make ones
frayed cuffs presentable than to pare
them with the scissors. Says a writer:
with the first touch of steel the cuff
is ruined Light a match and pass it
round the frayed edge (do not burn
your wrist). The cleansing fire will
remove the dross and leave intact the
pure gloss of the cuff. A cuff treated
with fire will last laundry generations
longer than the cuff treated with

HINTS AT PANAMA SCANDAL.
Wallace's Resignation, Presented to
Taft, II Conditional.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The World this
morning says that highly delicate situ-
alton has arisen in the affairs of the Pa
mama Canal Commission-one which may
lead to more trouble than the Roosevelt
administration has yet experienced in any
otEer public matter. Oficials in Wash
ington are desperately endeavoring to
avoid scandal which would quite put
into the shade anything Of the kind heard
of since American control was begun on
the isthmus and might even run in close
competition with some of the odorous af-
fairs of the days when the French were
trying to dig the canal. &
John T. Wallace, chief engineer Of the
commission, has placed only a tentative
resignation in the hands of the President,
according to the World. If this is ac-
cepted Wallace will at once become an
important factor in the street railroad
situation in this city by being placed at
the head of the Ryan subway syndicate,
the rival Of the Belmont combine. How
ever, II certain requests, almost in the
nature Of demands, made by the chief en-
gineer upon the administration are COM
piled with he will remain at his post and
the public will hear nothing further of
impending revelations. But those in close
touch with affairs In Washington are of
the opinion that Wallace will be allowed
to go. even at the risk Of uncovering con-
ditions in the canal zone which every
official from the President down is
anxious to conceal.
Engineer Wallace refuses to say a word
about the situa..on until Washington Is
heard from. although tonight he ad-
mitted that the situation is so delicate
that I cannot afford to be quoted in any
shape or manner"
The attitude Wallace assumed and the
manner in which he spoke gave the i'm
preston, already current among those in
close touch with affairs. that portentous
events are imminent in the political
world as result of the chief engineers
return to this country from Panama and
his recent interview In this city with
Secretary Taft. The story has been told,
says the World. that Wallace and Taft
had stormy interview, that the formers
resignation followed and that the chief
reason for his action was the tying of his
hands at the canal with red tape that
reached out from Washington.

RICHES VANISH
IN SHORT TINE
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

NEW YORK, June 27.-To the aston
ishment of his sister and friends, who
believed him to be operating gold mines
in California, Benjamin H. Huntington,
formerly president of the Dime Savings
Bank of Brooklyn, to-day filed in the
United States District Court a volun-
tary petition in bankruptcy The
whereabouts of Huntington is unknown
to his family here; neither is it known
whether his young wife, to whom he
was married in the West a few months
ago, is with him. The details of how he
lost his big fortune are not known to
his family.
Huntington was for twenty-five years
closely identified with the Dime Saw
ings Bank, and was for several years
tired from the presidency he was re-
puted to be wealthy. Soon after he an
nounced his intention of going West to
prospect. for gold mines. Not many
months after he went West Huntington
wrote to his sister that he had married
a young woman and that he was happy
and prosperous. He is 60 years old A
few weeks ago he again wrote to this
sister. declaring his intention of return
ing to this city very soon. That was
the last heard from him by any mem
Der of his family.
Huntingtons sister said to-day that
she did not know Huntington was in
this CITY, When told he had filed Pc
tition in Bankruptcy she exclaimed: /:
Ben hasn't lost all his fortune, has he?
How could he have done it?"
The supposition is that Huntington
lost his money in gold-mine speculation
1t was learned from friends that he had
gone into mining on an extensive scale
