So they caught the cat, tied on a
string and dropped her from the win
dow. "She can. She cam they shout
ed, but just then the dinner bell rang.
Plum DUFF" they cried as with one
voice and tumbled down the stairs.
AT first the cat rather enjoyed her
adventure and swan along merrly
enough. The sun had begun to shine
by this time. the air was delightfully."-
fresh after the stuffy ark, and the con-
meeting string helped her more than
she realized. But a sudden gust OF
wind made the ark lurch violently, the
string snapped, and the poor cat found
herself being left slowly astern. She
called for help as loudly as abe could
for it took ali her strength to swim
and the giraffe, who was Of a benevo-
lent nature, finally noticed her cries.
"Methinks,' said he. Il hear fellow
being In Distress
"Oh, don't you care" said the rat
with a wicked grin. Its only that old
cat. She's always sitting on the root
to sing"
But the kind hearted giraffe looked
out Of the window. Spying poor Mrs
Cat, he stretched his long neck to Its
utmost and finally succeeded in pulling
her in.
She Tapped her wet fur disconsolate

she said, and her descendants hate

RUSSIAN TROOPS MUTINY
Outbreak Among Several Regiments
In Moscow Garrison is Anticipated
Trouble Also Brewing Among
Soldiers at kursk.
Publishers Press1

Moscow, June 1.-THE first fight be-
tween the troops and the populace
growing out of the recent agitation,
took place Wednesday when an at
tempt was made to storm the prison
at Offenburg to liberate the political
prisoners confined therein. The at
titude Of the mob was so threatening
that orders were issued for the Cos
sacks to charge on the mob which
they did, killing and wounding many.
The dead and wounded were removed
by the troops and all information as
to the casualties has been refused.
Several of the regiments in the
local garrison are reported to be in
state of mutiny and an outbreak is
feared.
Trouble is also brewing at Kursk
where the soldiers refuse to do police
duty. They threaten their officers
who are unable to control them and
an urgent appeal has been made to
the governor to have loyal troops
sent there.

THE TURKISH KAIK.
1t More Closely Resembles the Con-

1t More Closely Resembles the Con-
dola Than Any other Craft.
+ Crawford, the author, to whose skill
ful pen Constantinople is indebted for
one Of the most charming volumes ever
issued in It's praise, has a word to say
about the Turkish boatmen and their
vehicle, the kaik.
"Constantinople owes much" writes
he, Ito the matchless beauty Of the
three waters which run together be-
meath it's walls, and much Of their
reputation again has become world
wide by the kaik. 1t Is disputed and
disputable whether the Turks copied
the Venetian gondola or whether the
venetians Initiated the Turkish kaik,
but the resemblance between them Is
SO strong as to make it certain that
they have q common origin. Take
from the gondola the 'felse,' or hood.
and the rostrated stem and the re-
mainder is practically the kaik. 1t is
Of all craft Of its size the swiftest, the
most easy to handle and the most COM
Portable, and the Turks generally are
admitted to be the best oarsmen In
Europe.
Indeed, they have need to be, for
both the Bosporus and the Golden
Horn are crowded with craft OF every
kind and made dangerous by the swift
est of currents. The distances. too, are
very great and such as no ordinary
oarsman would undertake for pleasure
or for the sake Of exercise. 1t Is no
joke to pull fifteen or sixteen miles
against stream which in some places
runs four or i've knots an hour"

THE UNLETTERED PHILOSOPHER
BY DUNCAN n. SMITH

! seen a man in Cucumville
Who hadn't never went to school.
But still he done the best he could
And wasn't anybody's fool.
He didn't know that two times two
Is six. or anything like that,
But still he had a heap of sense
And always knew where he was at.
He were so frY Of good advice
1t almost st - out through his ears.
And you coulo -dfely take it too;
He never gave you no wrong steers.
He seen. you might say, at a glance
The very thing that should be did.
And there was never no complaint
When people done the thing he bid.
He'd tell them when to sell their hogs,
He'd tell them when to cut their oats,
And in the fall as like as not,
He'd tell them how to cast their votes.
He wouldn't never take no pay;
He only done 1t to be kind,
To see the people get along
And sort Of help to lead the blind.
Which shows 1t amt all in the books.
That there are some few tricks outside.
And so II you can read and spell
You needn't be pulled up with pride.
And, though you went to public school,
Don't never of your learning boast,
For some men have kindly heart
Who don't know grammar from post.

From the exterior of the roof. above a stone marking the sepulcher of Ishmael, which lies at the base of the northern wall. there projects horizontal. semi-circular rain spout, five yards long. twenty-four inches wide, made of massive gold. Within, the roof is supported by three columns of aloe-wood; the walls are hung with red velvet alternating with white squares in which are written in Arabic the words 'Allah-Jal-J elalah'- = Praise to God the Almighty The build ing Is packed with pilgrims, praying. weeping beside themselves fin an ecstacy of passionate devotion.
