Mu..uIm.n Law Aa.in.t Painting


"Do you paintT" asked, going to.
ward the easel Disgusting my SUP
prise at meeting with such disregard
Of Mussulman customs in this orthO-
dox household.
''No, not painting. just playing. 1t
Is only an impression, not reproduc-
tion, Of one of Allah's realities" Good
Mussulmans do not believe in repro
ducing Allah's realities" yet there
stood ON the easel a charming pastel.
Even orthodox MOslems / saw were
not above beating the devil round the
stump.
"How very beautiful" ! exclaimed.
"Aishe Hanum, you are an artist"
''Pray, pray, young Hanum," she
protested, little frightened,
thought; pray do not say such things.
l am not an artist. only play with
the colors"
LET me see some more of your
playing" persisted.
Rather reluctantly, though wishing
to comply with her guests desires,
she brought out a large portfolio con-
tanning several pastels and water col
Ors, and we sat down on a rug to
examine them. Whether they were
well done or not l cannot tell, but
they were full of life and happiness.
The curious part was that whenever
she painted any outdoor life she paint
ed 1t from her window, and on the
canvas first was the window and then
through it you saw the landscape as
she saw it.-Demetra Vaka Brown in
Appleton's.

Trescott clipped the advertisement
from the paper and tucked it into his
pocketbook. He had about made up
his mind to go to one of the fashion
able resorts for his months vacation.
but this appealing advertisement de-
cided him.
1t was just few lines of small type,
but every sentence painted alluringly
the delights Of summer on, farm

be rented for the month of August at
an extremely reasonable rate.
Trescott wrote to "E. Marsden,

Inside It was the pink of cleanliness,
but the place struck u chill to his soul.
The arrangement of the furniture re-
minded him of the cheap boarding
house in which he had spent his first
years in the city, and try as he would
he could not alter the gaunt arrange
ment of the place. He had sent some
money to the agent with the request
that some simple groceries be put In,

supper, but the moment the meal was

out of doors to smoke his pipe. He
did not enter the place again until
It was time to seek the chill bedroom.
1t was raining the next morning.
and he spent a most miserable day
roaming about the dreary rooms and
wishing for the Sunday papers. He
had d couple Of books in his satChel,
but he could not make himself COM
Portable enough to read, and, after
vainly seeking to change the furniture
about into some semblance of com
fort, he gave 1t up and dragged an
old rocker out to the barn. Here, at
least he felt less oppressed by the
dreariness Of it all.
He spent a fairly comfortable after
noon and was just about to rouse him
self to go In and prepare supper when
the sound Of wheels caught his ear,
followed in a moment by the Jangle
of the doorbell.
He raced across the yard and
through the house to present himself

the porch, while an elderly woman sat
in the covered buggy.

The Game of Den.

Den is an out of doors game.
Each boy represents some wild beast
and has separate tree or post
which stands for his "den," Any
player who leaves his den is liable
to be tagged by any one who has
started out at later moment. The
best runner usually ventures first, a
second pursues him, and so on until
possibly all may be out at once. If
a player can tag any one whom he
has right to capture, he takes him
home to his own den, and the cap
tive must help him take the rest.
The pursuer cannot be tagged while
bringing home his prisoner.

insisted. "I'll look after the horse.

He dashed out to get the horse under

surprised the girl bustling about the
kitchen.
"You can help" she conceded, with
smile, "but just know that you can't
make biscuit"
But l can" he insisted. "Tll show

The vacation drew to close all too
soon, and TrescOtt insisted upon hold
Ing Eva to her promise to attend his

sat out under the trees while Mrs.
Marsden drowsed contentedly upon
the porch.

A Danger TO Be Avoided.

If a city is not we'll governed, munic-
ipal ownership is the most dangerous
thing imaginable and should be. care
fully avoided. There is always the
danger that the public utilities the
city is supposed to own will become
nothing more or less than the private
property of the people at the head of
the government, who win work to their
own advantage and the enhancement
of their private wealth.-William T.
