Religion and Trousers.
From the Tailor and Cutter.


Many of the chiefs In the protectorate Of
Gambia wish to have their sons educated in
the new Mahometan school of that region;
but there was bar to their full enjoyment
Of the education they were likely to receive
The pious Mahometan papas were afraid
that the wearing of modern trousers was
part of the school curriculum. and therefore
they viewed the school with peculiar sus-
picion. The governor of Gambia now re-
ports that the parents have been assured
that their children will not be converted
into ''trouser men," and the prospects of
the school are now very bright.
1t would be interesting to learn how this
suspicion OF the modern neither covering
arose, and whether the dry goods merchants
denied the natives their ordinary material.
But it may be interesting to recall the fact
that the British government forbade High
landers to wear the kilt for some years af-
ter the battle of Culloden. However, the
government was in a tight corner during
its continental wars. and 1t was glad
to raise several regiments OF HighIanders,
who resumed the kilt, and the trouser-
wearing edict died natural death.

A resident of Capitol Hill tells a story
of how he returned home one night during
the past summer and was astonished to
find his front door wide open. He had a
country cousin visiting him at the time,
the members of his family being away from
the city. Knowing he would be out late
on a professional CALL the Capitol Hill
man had told his country cousin not to re-
main up until he returned, but to go to
bed.
ut was o'clock in the morning when I
returned said the Capitol Hill man, land
when 1 saw the front door open, the gas
burning brightly and no sign of anybody
about, l was somewhat surprised. Even
the back door and windows were open, and
the only sign Of life about the home was
the cat.
Il was about to summon policeman to
make an investigation" he continued.
when it occurred to me that my country
cousin might be asleep on the sofa. There
found him enjoying as good a sleep as
he had ever enjoyed in his life 1t was a
shame to wake him. but 1 shook him sew

Fears Of the Red Sultan.
From the Bystander.


Few people know anything about Abdul
Hamfd and why he was surnamed the
Red Sultan" Nero and Caligula were hu.
name compared with him. The list of peo
pie put to death. imprisoned and exiled
by that monarch is appalling. He reigns
through fear. But the terror he has spread
around him has rebounded on himself.
despot Is necessarily a coward and in the
turkish empire no man trembles more for
MS life than the mighty tyrant In the
imperial palace there are innumerabIe bed
rooms for his own private use, and not
even his most trusted servants know be-
forehand In which Of the rooms he will
pass the night. Even this precaution does
not allay the sultan's fears. Every two
hours he arises, and with a revolver in
each hand goes to another room.
VIII the mysteries of the imperial palace
ever be disclosed? Who will describe the
torture chamber in all its CHASTITY details?
For. horrible as 1t may read, there is a
torture chamber where cruelties are per-
formed that cannot be told here. The sui
tons dread of being assassinated is SO
great that be sees danger everywhere, and
at once nres at supposed enemy. One day,
he thought-a person with a
huge knife, he drew his revolver and killed
a child who held pair of scissors in its
nand Ugly stories are also told of other
murders committed through the same cause
But who VIII ever write them?

Strength of the Small College.


The small college, which refuses to lower
it's standard from any notion of the i'm
portance of mere numbers; which devotes
its energies to it's own mission as the maker
of men and leaves to the university it's own
distinct work of making specialists; which
guards against the evil and employs the
good in athletics; which resists the tempta-
ton to shift any considerable part of its
teaching upon inexperienced. underpaid and
temporary assistants; which sees the ex-
travagance of spending large sums for fine
buildings and small sums for strong teach
ers; which avoids the large college ten
dency to substitute mechanism for person.
atty in administration; such a college,
open to the accredited graduates OF every
approved high school, offering few elective
courses in the most important branches of
strictly college study, taught to small
groups by scholars who are first men, has a
place so secure and so important that all
the tendencies today in large colleges and
in professional schools are serving only to
strengthen the small college against it's real
and supposed dangers.

Built Their Own Railroad.
From the Kansas City Star.


The people of Shelby county got tired OF
waiting for outside capital to build a rail-
road through the county and are building
their own road.
1T was like the old story of the farmer
and the meadow lark" said one of the ear
Hest promoters. land resulted in the same
way" And now the road is being built. 1t
runs from Shelbyville. the county seat one
of the best inland towns in Missouri, to
Shelbina on the Burlington railroad, eight
miles to the southwark. 1t will not be an
electric railroad. with the added expense
of overhead wires and power plant, but
will be standard gauge road with steam
locomotive for freight trains and gaso-
lene motor for passenger cars. The peo-
pie of the two towns and the farmers on
the proposed line of road subscribed $780,
900 stock in the enterprise. some others
who did not want stock gave $1,000 bonus;
% per cent of the entire amount was paid
down in cash and the work was begun.
