TIllnnan

The colored brother way down south
Feels restless at the pillow
And quite unconscious of the cause,
Wipes fear drops from his brow.
The voters hearken to his words,
And roast him or applaud
To some he is a statesman grand,
TO others but fraud.
His talk is rough, he likes to pose
In gawkish attitude.
And yet no one e'er heard him use
A mawkish platitude.
Some say tbs justice that he wants,
Some say It's fame he seeks,
But everybody stops to hear

 Khartum HAM just back from the palace, where
 ] have had a long talk with Sir A Francis Reginald Wingate, the sirdar of the Egyptian army and the governor general of the Sudan. The sirdar is the ruler of the Sudan, a country one-fourth as large as all Europe. and four times the size of any principality in it excepting Russia. He has more power than the Czar, and he can do almost anything as to his country and people. One of the chief officers in the wars with the mahdi and the khalifa, he won decoration after decoration for his bravery and military services, and was in command of the operations which resulted in the death of the khalifa in 1899. In was in that year that he took possession of this country as slrdar and governor general and since then he has been bringing order out of the chaos of this part of Africa He has pacified the warning tribes, has turned their lanees and guns into plowshares and shepherds croeNs, and is now creating civilized conditions where have always been barbarism, injustice. slavery and war. An explorer of note before he be- came governor general he has now his prospectors travelling through every part of this vast region, and is laying out and starting the railroad. canal, irrigation and other movements which will open it up and the live parts of the w-@

His face is free from wrinkles and his complexion rosy; his eyes are full of light and his whole ap- pearance indicates health and strength. great part of his career has been spent in the saddle. He has not only travelled over the most of Egypt and the Sudan, but has gone on diplomatic missions to Abyssnia, and now holds close personal relations with King Menelik and his lead ing officials. The sirdar spends a part of every year travelling by boat or on camels through the several of his far-away prov inces, and he has just recently returned from long trip in Kordofan. He talks freely about his country and he knows it so well that what he says is interest," ing.

 That idea comes largely from the bleak and barren sands through which the railroad takes travellers on their way to Khartum They have also read of the immense swamps of the upper Nile, and. putting the two together, they look upon the country as only swamp and des- ert. The truth is the Sudan is an un- developed empire as to its material re- sources. It is a land of many climates and of all sorts of soils. The desert stops not far from Khartum and beyond that is

Oklahoma: Our Forty.sixth State.

Uncle Sam's list of territories has been seriously depleted within the memory of people now approaching middle age, who used laboriously to con a list of 10 or 12 as a part of their geography lessons.

Arizona. and New Mex ico-and brings the roll of states up to forty-six.
 Here are some of the figures that indi- cate the importance of the new state .n the most concrete and convincing form: Area in square miles, 70,230; populations. 1,5O0,000; taxable property. $S)0.000, GOO; es- timated annual value of mineral prod- ucts. $200 000,0O0; annual crop of wheat, i0.- 0O0,00o bushels; corn. 72,O0O, GOO bushels: cot. ton. 600,Go0 bales; value of domestic ani- mals, s9s,0O0O00; bank deposits Sl0,OO0,0 01li railroad mileage, 5000.

 American Trade With the Sudan.

 Why not?' replied the sirdar. "We are using many things that the United States makes, and are glad 10 welcome American goods and American traders, American cottons are popular with the Abyssinians and I do not see why they might not compete with those of Man chester in the Sudan. In our development we shall need railroad materials, and, if irrigation works are undertaken as they will be, we shall require drills for artc- sian wells. engines. pumps and other ma chinery of that nature. By our new road to the Red sea ships from your country can land their goods at Port Sudan, with in a short railway haul of Khartum and from there they can be sent almost 10 the heart of central Africa by river"
 The Sirdar May Write Book.
 The conversation here took a personal turn by my asking his excellency if he would not some day write n new book on the Sudan. He Is, you know. one of the leading authorities on all matters con nected with this paIt of the world. He wrote "Mahdism and the Egyptian Su- dan" eighteen years ago; and few years later published a work entitled '1en Years Captivity in the Mahdis Camp" He also translated and edited Slatin Pashas Fire and Sword in the Sudan in
