A NOBLE ENEMY.
The Fate of Mokrani, MOslem Chief
of Africa.


| of Africa.
France was never In greater danger
of losing her colonies in Africa than
during the war with Germany in 1870.
The troops were recalled from Africa
to take part III the conflict that was
going on against France, and Algeria
was left almost defenseless.
The hour for which the conquered
races had long waited had come, and
If a holy war had been proclaimed it
is probable that the French would have
been driven from northern Africa.
But the tribes did not rise while the
French had their hands full on the
other side OF the Mediterranean, and
the fact was due to their fidelity to n
solemn pledge.
When the war broke out a chief of
great influence among the tribes, Mo-
krani, gave his word to the governor
general of Algeria that there should
be no insurrection while the war lasted.
That word was faithfully kept. Disas-
ter after disaster followed the French
arms. The defeats Of the war cul-
minated in the surrender Of Paris.
But not man Of the tribes of Kabylla
stirred. The MOslem's faith was
plighted; the MOslem's faith was kept.
When, however, the last battle had
been fought and the treaty Of peace
signed, Mokrani, then released from
his word, gave the governor general
notice that in forty-eight hours he
would declare war The French
armies, released from duty at home,
hurried across the Mediterranean. The
end was inevitable. Mokrani seeing
that all was lost, put himself at the
head Of his warriors and fell fighting
in the front rank The French erected
a monument to mark the spot where
their noble enemy persisted.

The Phoenician Monarch and His Eff
fort to Initiate the Deity.
Hiram, the PhOeniclan monarch.
strove to initiate God by erecting four
mighty pillars upon which he caused
seven apartments-to be built.
The first was constructed of glass, 800
by 500 yards, storing therein mock i'm.
ages Of the sun, moon and stars. The
second compartment Of iron, 1000 BY
1000 yards, was the receptacle Of pre-
clous stones, causing a terrific noise
resembling thunder when they crashed
against each other and the easement of
ihe inclosure. The third chamber was
of lead, 1,500 by 1000 yards. The
fourth was of tin, 1000 by 1000 yards.
The fifth was Of copper, $500 by $500
yards. The sixth was Of silver 5000
by 1900 yards. The seventh was of
gold $500 by $500 yards, containing
precious stones, pearls and q magnia,
cent throne. A channel Of water sep
arated the apartments.
Hiram, initiating the royal splendor
Of the court of King Solomon. sur
rounded himself by the grandest con-
ceivable display Of magnificence. In
the seventh apartment was stationed n
golden bed, the corners Of which were
set in pearls without value In all the
world, sparkling forth beautiful flashes
resembling lightning, which spread
wonder and terror among his subjects.
The prophet Ezekiel was ordered TO
appear before Hiram, who, at a loss
as to how to reach the seven heavens
wherein the monarch presided, was
transported into his castle by the locks |
of his hair Upon perceiving the d. |
vine messenger Hiram trembled. "Who |
art thouY Numbered the indignant har-
binger Of future events. "Why dost
thou boast? Art thou not born of wo.
mans womb"
Il am" replied Hiram, "but l live
forever. Like God dwelling over wa
tiers, dwell l. Like him reigning over
seven heavens, rule In seven apart

ming and thunder, so am /. God has

"Why dost thou boastf" again de-
handed Ezekiel.
Because thou didst supply the
cedars for Solomons temple? This
puts me in mind Of n subject who pre-
pared a splendid garment for his SOW
ereign. and as often as the servant
5azed at the glorious piece Of work he
ooastingly remarked, This is my

ng his vanity, tore 1t off in disgust.
Such will be thy lot. The temple ,
which thou helpest to build will be

Where They Have Time to be Polite

Where They Have Time to be Polite
Copenhagen, Denmark, Is a city OF
canals and cleanliness-a land of pure
delight, free from beggars organ
grinders and stray dogs. The inhab.
itants thereof are born courteous and
seem never to have recovered from the
habit.
When passenger boards a car in
Copenhagen he exchanges greetings
with the conductor. A gentleman on
leaving the car usually lifts his hat in
acknowledgment of a salute from that
official. When fare Is paid the con-
ductor drops 1t into his cash box,
thanks the passenger and gives him
a little paper receipt.
He offers change with a preliminary
"Be so good" and the passenger ac-
cepts with thanks. If, in addition,
transfers are required complimentary

SECTION AND SLANT OF STACK.

contact with the ground, as shown In
| Fig. /, which represents a cross section
Of bottom of a grain stack ready for the
second layer of bundles.
One of the most important things to
remember Is to keep the stack highest
In the center and as solid as possible.
The stacking should be done with a
fork. The old way Of going around on
the knees and handling every bundle
with the hands is out Of date. When
the operator uses fork it is not neces-
sary for him to go close to the outside,
thus leaving 1t loose with plenty Of
room TO settle down. The harder he can
tramp the center the better.
When the stack is high enough to be-
gin drawing in, an extra layer Of bun
dies should be laid, commencing well to
the inside of the outer row. This Is
necessary in order to make the center
high enough to give the bundles on the
outer row u slant Of at least twenty de-
grees. Fig. 2 shows the bundles of the
upper half Of stack with slant Of
about twenty degrees. A little expert
ence will enable the operator to stick
the bundles of the outer row with the
butt ends lightly into the course OF
bundles below. This will prevent the
outer row from slipping.
Topping out stack properly is the
most difficult part have found that
90 per cent Of all stacks that draw
water take it midway between the
bulge and the top. Never draw the
stack In rapidly at the start, as this al
ways has tendency to cause it to take
water. The last few feet of the top are
by no means so particular, because the
top Is narrow and will dry out quickly.

pleted stack. Through the bulge from
A to B it Is fourteen feet across, while

OF the birds known to eat the weevil
the following are at present not pro-
tected in Texas: Killdeer plover, cow
bird, red winged blackbird, Brewer
blackblrd and great tailed grackle, or
jackdaw. There can be no question as
to the usefulness of the killdeer, and it
should be included among the species
protected at all seasons. The economic
position of the various species of black
birds is not so clear. A study Of their
food made by Professor +. E. L. Beal
shows that some species, notably the
Brewer blackbird and the great tailed
grackle, may at times be Injurious to
corn and other grain. However, the
season in which blackbirds render the
greatest service in destroying boil wee

SHARPENING A PENCIL,
In This Act, II Is Said, You May Read
Mans Character.

In This Act, IL Is Said, You May Read
Mans Character.
No woman should marry a man til
she has seen him sharpen a lead pen
Gil. She can tell by the way he does
1t whether he Is suited to her or not
Here are a few infalllble rules for heI
guidance In the matter:
The man who holds the point toward
him and close up against his shirt
front Is slow and likes to have secrets
He is the kind of man who when the
dearest girl In the world finds out that
there are "others" and asks him who
they are and what he means by call
ing on them will assume an air of ex-
cesslve dignity.
The man who holds the pencil out
at arms length and whites away at
1t, bit or miss, is impulsiye, jolly, good
natured and generous.
He who leaves n blunt point Is dull
and ploddlng and will never amount
to much. He is really good hearted,
but finds his chief pleasure in the
commonplace things of life.
He who sharpens his pencil an inch
or more from the point is high strung
and imaginative and subject to ex-
uberant flights of fancy. He will al
ways be seeking to mount upward and
accomplish things In the higher re-
gions Of business and art, and his
wife's greatest trouble Will be TO hold
him down to earth and prevent his
flying Off altogether on q tangent.
The man who sharpens his pencil all
around smoothly aud evenly, as though
1t were planed off In an automatic
sharpener, Is systematic and slow to
anger, but he Is so undertaking from a
fixed principle that he would drive a
woman with sensitive temperament
to distraction in less than six months.
On the contrary, he who jumps in
and leaves the sharpened wood as Jag
ged as saw teeth around the top has
a nasty temper and will spank the
baby on the slightest provocatlon.
There are certain women who can
that kind of man beautifully.
however, and if he gets wife with n
calm, persuasive eye he Will come
down from his high horse in a few
and be as meek as a lamb.
The man who doesn't stop to polish
the point Of lead once the wood is cut
away has a streak of coarseness In his
nature.
He who shaves off the lead till the
point Is like a needle is refined, deli
cate and sensitive. He will not be
likely to accomplish so much as his
more common brother but he will nev-
sr shock you and is without doubt a
good man to tie to.-New York Press.
