CONVINCING THE ARABS.


 It is hard to make a nomadic Arab believe that a white man can by any possibility know anything about the , desert especially so to persuade him that the lines and letters on the tray- elers map convey any accurate infor- nation which will guide him on his way. Interpretation of these mystic symbols, says the biographer of Henry Clay Trumbull, gained that famous mission worker something of the repu- tation of a magician when he went to , find Kadesh- -Barnea, the place where the people of Israel rebelled against Moses.
 ''Ayn Qadees was the modern name of the place he sought When he asked his Arabs if they could lead him thith- CT, they steadfastly maintained that they had never heard of 1t.
 "Oh, well," said MT. Trumbull, know ing what pride the Bedouin has In his knowledge of the desert, "the trouble Is you don't know your own country as well as know 1t We ought to change places. You give me bakshish and will show you the country.
 Tomorrow morning we will go to 'Ayn Muwayleh. We will go past that : Then we will turn of from the track to the right. We will go down that way about one hour. There we will find one, two, three wells. Beyond them will be flags and rushes growing. Then little farther on we shall find more wells. That is Qadees. You don't know it, but do. Give me bakshish and I'll show 1t to you"
 There was consternation among the Arabs. They discussed the matter ex- citedly. Then their spokesman came.
 "Mr. Trombooi," he said, T tell you now the true, honor bright They tell me true now on the Koran. They know that place you tell them, but they no call 1t that name. They no call that Qadees. They call 1t Qasaymeh."
 It flashed across Mir. Trumbull's mind that Bartlett, who had preceded him and whose map he was following, had been deceived by the Arabs.
 every well," he said. But do they know where Qadees Is if this is not it?"
 The spokesman knew-yes, indeed What Is more, he knew there was no use wasting time trying to fool a man who could describe the desert paths as this one could; so forthwith they turn ed from the main road, and over a most difficult trail made their way to place which, 1t was evident at glance, was what Mir. Trumbull sought, the place of the Fountain of Judgment.

When Governor Magoo1 wishes to communicate with the bureau he will send his message to the Cuban Secretary of State, who In turn will forward 1t to the Cuban minister in Washington. The Cuban minister will hand 1t over to the American Secretary of State, and he in turn will deliver 1t to the Secretary of War. Finally, the chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs will receive the document, reply to 1t and place It on file, properly mark ed.

A Mexican Philanthropist.

Pedro Alvarado, of the State of Chi- huahua, Mexico, the owner of very profitable mining properties, proposes to distribute $10,OOO,OOO among the Mexican poor. He has also offered to pay of the Mexican government debt This offer has been declined on the part of the government in the fear that it was not altogether inspired by a patri. otic desire to relieve the Mexican tax. payers.
 Alvarado seems to be pushing ahead of Andrew Carnegie in the practical application of his own philosophy by taking good care that he will not die rich. He could hardly have hit upon a scheme of more widespread benef. cence than the payment of the public debt of his country. This project ought to be brought to the attention of Mrs. Russell Sage, who seems to be finding great difficulty In 50 disposing of her vast fortune as to do the greatest amount of good.-Phlladelphia Record.

Two brothers, aged 9 and 10, respec- lively, pupils in a public school of Washington, were recently absent for a period of two weeks. When the elder of the boys returned to his class he brought a note from his father stating that the cause of the absence of his children was illness.
 "Where's your brother, Dick?" asked the teacher. "Is he still sickf"
 "Yes, ma'am," replied the pupil, "he'a still in bed with broken arm."
 "I'm sorry to hear 1t How did it happen?"

 sands at Expense of the Treasury.
 Some years ago the Treasury De partment desired to transport $25,OOO,- 900 in gold from the subtreasury In San Francisco to the subtreasury In New York. The way they did It was simple. They sent treasury postal frank to the postmaster at San Fran cisco, told him to stick It on to the $25, 100000 in gold and deliver 1t In New York. This that unfortunate of- ficial under the law was obliged to do. No further effort or worry on the part of the Treasury Department was nee essary.
 Incredible as It may seem, the post master at San Francisco carted the s25, ,0OO, ,OOO in gold under armed guard to the Southern Pacific Railway sta ton. There It was loaded on a spe- cial train, each car of which was equipped with guards heavily armed. This train was then sent across the continent by a circuitous route and with all Information concerning It's route and time sedulously concealed from the newspapers In order to avoid the danger of an attack from highway men. After a certain number of days this train arrived at Jersey City.
 The boxes containing the $25,000, 900 in gold were taken across on the fer ries, and New Workers were mystified by the extraordinary spectacle of many vehicles loaded with boxes upon which were perched guards with rifles and pistols. This procession finally ended at the subtreasury, where the Postoffice Department was released from the cus- tody of the coin by the receipt of the Treasury Department.
 The little bit of treasury transpor- tation cost the Postoff1ce Department many thousands of dollars and cost the Treasury Department nothing at alL- San Francisco Argonaut.

SURPRISES THE POET GRAY.

Success of the "Elegy" Overpower- ing to the Famous Author. Priced originally at 12 cents, mod est pamphlet of few leaves was sold recently in London for the record price of $500. It was copy of the first edi- ton of the "Elegy Written In a Coun- try Churchyard."
 Whether Byron on that morning when he awoke and found himself fa- nous was astonished is not on record, but that Thomas Gray was utterly be- wildered by the success which attended the publication of his "Elegy" Is as certainly true as that the fact is gen. erally forgotten. Published in the shape of a slim pamphlet, 1t ran through four editions in two months and six other editions speedily follow ed. Ere the. poem was ten years old 1t had been reprinted In several collec- tions of verse In numerous magazines and twice translated Into Latin. All this amazed the author beyond measure, and when the Scottish poet Beattle sought his permission to pre- ' pare an edition for the northern king dom he In giving his consent warned his admirer of the risk the publisher would take, for London book seller had "glutted the town" with two edi- tons of 1,5OO and 750 copies. Beattie and the Scottish publisher went their way, however, and the edition sold so quickly that Gray was embarrassed by an offer of a present of books In re- compense for his consent II cannot figure to myself" he wrote, "how It can be worth his while to offer me such present"
 He never accepted any cash payment for his poems. He held 1t was beneath his dignity as gentleman to barter his writings for money, and of course the publishers were glad to oblige him by respecting such a convenient scruple. To one of those publishers, Dodsley, this meant a comfortable profit of sb 900 from the "Elegy" alone.
 Gray's modest opinion of the "Elegy" was not affectation; 1t was the consist eut result of his sensitive, reclusive na- ture. As matter of fact he was not even responsible for the publication of the poem. Eight years elapsed between its inception and its completion and yet even that protracted travail did not create a just conception of Its merits on the authors part. When the last verse was written he sent copy to Ho- race Walpole with the remark that he had 'put an end" to "a thing" of which his correspondent had long ago seen the beginning, adding: You will, I hope, look upon 1t In the light of a thing with an end to it, merit that most of my writings have wanted and are lks to want"
