Turkish horseshoes are simply a fiat
plate of lion with Il hole in the middle.
In his volume of Personal Adven-
lures" Colonel j. T.. Robertson de-
scribes the extraordinary method Of
preparing the horse to he shod.
The farrier takes a good long rope,
doubles 1t and knots a loop at the end
to about the size of a good large horse
collar. This Is put over the horses
head after the n of a horse COL
lar, the knot resting on the horses
chest.
Then the two ends Of rope are
brought between his legs. Each rope,
then taken by n man, is hitched on to
the fetlocks OF his hind legs and
brought through the loop in front; then
by a hard, steady pull the hind legs are
drawn up to the fore legs. and the
horse falls heavily on his side.
All four feet are then tied together
by the %fetlocks. the horse is prOpped up
on his back, and the farrier sits quiet.

old shoes and puts on new. When the
work Is finished the horse Is united

But now 1t has turned up again In
some numbers in two ponds on Pres

striking likeness to that remarkable
creature, the king crab, and this be-
cause the fore part of the body Is COW

Free Consent of the People.

in the year 1888. said, THE founda-

the free consent of the people" There,
in embryo, were the Revolution and

The mar whose timely MD proved 30
effective was Colonel James Bowie, and

"bowie knife" given to him by his
brother, Rein p. Bowie. 1t was made
Of a large Ale, strong, Of admirable
temper and gave Its name to a family
Of terrible weapons not yet extinct.
Crockett met Bowie for the FIRST time
in the Alamo. and he writes In his
journal: while we were conversing
Colonel Bowie had occasion to draw
his famous knife. and I wish | may be
shot II the bare sight OF 1t wasn't
enough to give n nan Of a squeamlsh
stomach the collie. He saw I was ad-
miring 1t and said he. Colonel, you
might tickle a fellows ribs q long time
with this before you'd make him
laugh"
Brave, generous, determined and en-
terprising, James Bowie sought adven-
ture for it's hazards, and he was natu-
rally among the first to take up arms
for Texas independence. Three o
desperate men were never brought to
gether than Travis, Crockett and Bowie

Jim Bowie died fighting. As Il Mex

himself by n supreme effort, caught his
assailant by the hair, plunged the fatal
knife into his heart and fell back dead.

out of the Vanderbilt Newport home.
He returned to his roose in Mount

ton for a return engagement.
Sinclair is, as usual, engaged in nov

color for the book he is writing he de.
cided to invade Newport society. Tbs
regular channels being closed he hit
upon the scheme of enlisting on How

After a few days aboard the yacht he
resigned n took a position AS servant

escaped from St. A~lphonsus' hospital
and before his absence had been discoV-
cred had presented himself at h Of
fee Of Sheriff Shad Hodgin and de-
manded that he be placed in his cell.
Accompanied by his wife, he was
walking about the hospital yard, and
at a time when his guard was not
watchful he walked slowly to the
'ty Jail, half a block away.
{ Sheriff Hodgin was much surprised
when the famous printer, u~nguarded,
walked in on him, and could do nothing
else than comply with the request of
his prisoner that ne be locked up. No
sooner had he been placed in the big
cell. which was the home of Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone for eighteen
months, than there came a telephone
message from the hospital to the effect
that Pettibone was nowhere TO be

hospital attendants by informing them
that their patient was safe behind the
bars.
Pettibone left the hospital in order

new SULTAN HAS
FOUR MORE WIVES

Paris, Oct. 1S.-while Sultan Abdul Aziz
$ reported with only enough cash TO last
him two more days, and as being about To
shut himself up in Rabat, after disbanding
his army, the pretender. Mulai Hafie.
sultan of the SOUTH has taken four new
wives.
Hafig is proving himself superior to Aziz
in affairs of both love and state. Further
letters from Manzagan bring news which
tends to show that Hafg is gaining
strength. He has effectually put a stop
to the ill-treatment of Jews in Morocco
City and gives his personal attention to all
matters of Importance.
FThe most significant sign of the expect
ed trouble in Morocco is that. although
the rains have begun, the Moors have not
commenced their customary blowing. In
response to requests that he make a gen
eral movement, Mulai Hafig promises to-
do so Immediately after the end of this
lunar month.
The Moroccan army of regulars has \
war effective of 5000 men. 1t is a fixed
rule that this army only accepts recruits
from certain tribes. All the efficient men
of such military tribes receive a small
stipend in consideration of which they
stand ready to provide, when the sultan
Gifted strength. The caids. governors OF
towns or provinces. may also be called
upon to levy any battalions needed for
certain extraordinary expeditions.
The pay of these soldiers is very mea-
ger: and one of the chief difficulties which
the French nave had with their native
soldiery in Morocco and Algeria, is to preA
vent pillaging, a practice which the sultan
encourages in his army as a substitute
for pay,
In the time Of peace the soldiers of the
sultan's army receive 2 or 8 cents a day,
and upon this meager wage they have to
feed and clothe themselves. The uniform
with which the government supplies them
is reserved for parade and review. While
thus poorly paid in ordinary times, no
sooner does the army come into the field
than 1t fattens on pillage and robbery. AT
once discipline becomes so relaxed that
the lash is frequently resorted to IN en-
forcing obedience.
These troops are well armed, but the
great hospital service corps, which form
10 important a feature in European and
such civilized armies as that of the Jap
lnese, is altogether wanting, and the dead
and the wounde are left with equal In,
difference on the field.
