Els Story Was True.

Here's a cup got in Morocco" said
the enthusiastic tourist, showing his
collection of souvenirs, says the New
Orleans 1imes-Democrat. You see it
has an Arabic inscription" His friend
was turning the cup curiously around.
At length he remarked, dryly:
yes, the inscription is Arabic all
right"
'Sure'' replied the returned tourist,
little miffed at the intimation of a
possible doubt.
You can read it better if you turn
the cup upside down" suggested the
friend and suiting the action to the
word, he showed the tOuris, that the
mysterious characters were nothing
more than 1909" engraved in rough, ir-
regular figures on the metal.
The rascal" exclaimed the outraged
collector: 'he told me that it was an
Arabic inscription when he sold it to
me-"
"IIe told you nothing more than the
truth" was the reply. You forget that
our numerals are Arabic"
But somehow from that moment the
collector lost interest in the souvenir
from Morocco.
