THE ARAB.
An Artist In Manners Is This Son Of
the Orient.

the Orlents
Tn all matters of sentiment the
Arabs instinct is sure. If you can
appeal to him on any ground of hos
pitality or generosity, says the author
of In the Desert" you have a hold
on him.
1t used to be the boast of Arab poe
try in its best days that 1t "never
praised a man except for what was In
him." and the habit of judging direct
" and without regard to surroundings
has always been an instinct Of the
race. All those evidences Of worldly
prosperity and success which turn
the heart of the Anglo-Saxon to water
leave the Arab unmoyed.
The Arab is an artist in manners.
remember a certain sheik, who was
once my travelling companion on the
Upper Nile, a tall, lean, keen faced
man, of a complexion almost black,
with a glitter on it like the sun polish
on desert stones, who walked among
the fellahs OH the crowded deck like
a chief among his slaves.
With him I shared the same narrow
corner of the deck. He was strict in
his religious observances and at the
appointed hours would spread his mat
On the deck, turn in the supposed di-
rection of Mecca and then kneel and
rise and kneel again, bowling with
his forehead to the ground in the i'm
posing attitudes of Moslem prayer.

consideration or respect, If we stop

he would treasure up the courtesy and

tional grimace, but expressed the In

Green Bug" in Botetourt VIM.
Fields. -

O. U. Brugh, prominent farm.
er and fruit grower Of Daleville,
this county, was in Fincastle last
Monday on business visit, and
while here called at the Herald Of
flee. He informed us that an in
sect-verY small and green's do
ing as destructive work in the
wheat fields Of his neighborhood as
the insidious San Jose scale did to
the orchards Of Botetourt and 9TH
er counties in recent years. He
says the bug resembles very closely
the green insect that is found on
rose bushes, and is very destructive
that when it attacks the wheat it
finally consumes all in the field,
leaving The ground bare. He had
field Of 25 acres Of wheat and it
is all affected--either consumed or
turning yellow.
MIR. Brugh says that the grow
ing wheat crops Of his neighbOls
are affected in the same way.
Prof. ]. L. Phillips, entomologist
of the V. P. L., Blacksburg, who
has been informed of the unfortu-
nate condition, does not give our
farmers any encouragement, and
says the insect is to difficult to
fight, and that it is impractible to
spray for it. lie also says that 9TH
er localities are affected by it. He
has promised to visit the farm Of
Mr.. Brugh and others in that Sec
ton in the near future, and do all
in~his power to arrest the ravages
of that new and unwelcome insect.

The Purse.

The invention of the purse was
doubtless contemporaneous with that

COUNTY SUING Ex-sHER1Fr

HAWTHORNE, New, Feb. 19.-The
case of Esmerelda county against AS
s~emblyman j. f. Bradley, ex-sheriff Of
the county, to recover sums of money
collected by him and alleged in the
complaint to have been wrongfully
withheld during his term of Office as
sheriff and ex-oficio tax collector, is
now pending in the district court.
There has been more or less friction
between the commissioners and the
ex -sheriff over the question of fees,
the latter ~contending that under the
general statutes of Nevada he was en-
titled to retain as commissions 3 per
cent of the taxes on mines and 6 per
cent of all business licenses Of every
description.
The statutes of 1905 included an
act, which became operative after
Sheriff -radley had taken office fix
ing the sheriff's pay at $4,000 per an
nun and all civil fees, which amount
was to be in full compensation for his
services. The commissioners refused
to allow Bradley's claim for salary
on the ground that the law prohibits
the payment of such claims if all fees
are not paid in full
Under these circumstances Bradley
declined to turn in the fees. The com
missioners then refused to allow his
claim for salary from January, 1905,
and instructed the district attorney
at that time, J. E. Davidson, to bring
suit against Bradley for $3,423.9A
with interest and costs and damages in
the amount Of 25 per cent Of the total.
This is the amount claimed to be due
the county up to February s, 1905, the
time at which the suit was filed.

RUN DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE

RENO, New, Feb. 16.-While walk
ing on Virginia street yesterday after
noon Louis Bayer, a barber Of this
city, was u down and had his left
ankle broken by an automobile. He
suffered other slight injuries and it
is a wonder that he was not killed
outright.
Bayer was rendered unconscious as
he was hit by the machine and was
picked up by ~bystanders, the chat
feur in charge Of the machine not
stopping to see how badly he had hurt
the old man.
Bayer is now in the city Jail but
will be taken to the county hospital
this evening. He was seen by a re-
porter, to whom he told the following
story:
II was walking along Virginia
street on the south side of the river
yesterday when / was run down by
an automobile which approached me
from the back. / was rendered uncon-
scious by the accident and as a con-
sequence was unable to see what the
auto looked like or the number that
was on it or what it looked like, but
those who picked me up said it was an
automobile that hit me-
The officers found Bayer wandering
on Commercial row last night in a
dazed condition, and believing that
he was drunk, took him to the county
Jail. This morning it was learned that
he was not drunk, but was in a semi
conscious condition as the result of
the accident.
