ers who hold police courts, asking them 10 impose
severe sentences on tramps who are brought DE-

roads of the United States annually; that twen-
ty-five thousand of them are killed or are re-

lishment has seats for something like two thousand spectators. It's audience room consists of a pit and boxes, and the people can have coffee. beer or wine served while the actors are playing. At the right of the audience room is large parlor. in which several roulette tapies are kept going both during and between the acts, and on the left there are rooms for private gambling and pub- lie places for rouge ct nor I visited the gambling roms during the intermis- slons last night and saw crowds about the tables. The stacks of roulette were from franc upward, and the tables were well covered with silver The rouge ct noir rtoms were deserted, but l under stand they are well patronized in the winter when many tourists are here.
 Tunis has also a summer theatre at the lselvedere park, and the military bands give frequent concerts in the pub lie squares.
 Stage of Old Carthage.
 One of the most interesting theatrical representations in this part of the world was the acting Gf play containing Phoenician characters and scenes in Il ruined theatre which has been recently excavated on the site of old Carthage. This occurred last year. and another play of a similar nature is now being written for well known actress of Paris, whose husband is famous as the translator of a new eleven-yolume French edition of the Arabian Nights. This play will be brought to Tunis and will be acted out Nn the open, in the same surroundings and upon the same site where the plays Of Carthage were acted when 1t was the capital of Africa and q rival of imperial Rome. The play of last year has sinee been taken to Paris and successfully put upon the stage there. The heroine of the new play takes the part of a beau tiful woman whose statue was found in the ruins and is now In the museum of Carthage.

|, surrounded by bottles and boxes, with a great string of candles hanging down from a pole over his head. There Is a bench outside his shop, and we sit down and have cup of coffee with him be- fore he asks us to buy. The coffee is as black as ink, as sweet as molasses and almost as thicg as chocolate. It Is made of the beans pulverized by pounding them in a mortar, and is brought in hot from the coals. After we have drunken he begins to show his perfumes. He takes out a cork and touches it gently to the backs of our hands. The next bot tie is tried on the wrist. and the next by pulling up our sleeves to the elbow and pressing the cork upon the forearm. Indeed he stamps US with so many brands that when we leave we are walking perfume shops and the scents are so pungeant they last for hours. The Arabs use perfumery not only on their clothes and In their baths, but also in their food anL drink. There is an essence of orange flowers which is sold here wit. tea, and there are other perfumes for various foods.
 Among the Shoemakers.
 I have spent some time today among the shoemakers. There is a long street devoted to their shops, and there were hundreds of men and boys working in it when l saw 1t today. They were cut ting out shoes Of bright yellow and red leather, and sewing them into shape The yellow shoes were for men, and the red ones for the women. They were also making many shoes for children. About all the footwear of the Moham- medan world is made thus by hand, and it might be a good idea for some bright American shoemaker to set up a factory here and supply the trade.
 The Tnnsian eobbler's bench is nothing like that of the American. These cob blers cut and pound upon a section of a tree like a butchers block raised upon legs They do not use hammers, but pound the leather with pieces of brass so nodded that they can be easily held in the hand; they are not unlilSek brass paper weight.
 The leather work of Tunis is famous and shoes are sold everywhere, A good pair can be bought for 75 cents.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-06-02

Another street near that of the shoe- maker Is devoted to the saddlers and others to jewellers to the sellers of cottons and silks. There are also many bazars filled with old and new carpets, and many which have fine brass work and embroidery and furniture inlaid with mother of pearl.
 How Arabs Do Business.
 All trading among these Mohammedans is by bargaining. There are no fixed prices, and the merchants always ask more than they expect to take. I usually offer one-half or one-thrd and am sur prsed to find that the dealer often comes after me and gives me the goods. This is especially so with the Jews, who have shops in the souks. They give a com mission of or 10 per cent to the drago- man, and the first thing your guide does when you enter the bazars is to lead you into one of these shops. He pre- tends that he works in your interest, but he is really q confederate of the shopkeeper, and gets d rake-off from every sale he brings in. The first day I visited old Tunis I took along a Maltese named Gaouchi, to act as inter- preter He warned me that I must ex- pect the merchants to charge more than they would take, and said that when I saw him draw his handkerchief across his lips I might know the price was too high. The first Jew shop we entered had some magnificent rugs, for each of which tn. man asked about $100, but Gaouchis handkerchief remained in his pocket In the next room I was shown Tunislan silk dresses for which the man wanted SIP apiece and still there was no sign from Gaouchi Notwithstanding, I found that I could have bought the rug for one-fifth of the price asked, and I did buy a silk dress for little over 8.
 The Souks fairly swarm with boys and men who beg you to come Into the shops. They will say they want you not to buy but only to see, and gesture to show what they mean. They point to their eyes and catch you by the hand, trying to drag you in. I have since learn d the words for 'go away and get out in Arabic, and I now repat them in that language and In French, German

away with their goods on their knees and their bare feet and bare calves plain ly seen. Here at my right is a shop where they are sewing upon a burnoose of the finest white wool for some Arab gentleman, and at ms left Is a man making a pair of ten-dollar trousers for some fat Jewish lady. Other tailors are working on gorgeous jackets and vests for both men and women. They use silk and gold-embroidered cloths. Indeed, many of the garments are exceedingly costly as you may see by the richly clad customers who stand in the street outside and bargain for clothes.
 At 10 o'clock in the morning there is an auction of secondhand clothing in this tailor street, when gray-bearded men go about holding fine garments high over their heads. They sing out the prices and quality of the goods, and beg the people to buy. I found hundreds so engaged this morning, the crowd being so great that l could hardly make my way through
 Souk of the Perfumes.
 But let us go on to the souk of the perfumers. The word souk is used as term for the bazars; and when you ask to be shown the Mohammedan busi- ness center you tell them to take you, not to the bazars, but to the souksk.
  cry. Their great prophet once said that there were two things which especially delighted him-one was the society of a beautiful woman, and the other was sweet perfume.
 The Mohammedans have some of the best scents of the world. You can buy essence of jasmine, of violet or yer bena that is worth it's weight in gold; and quart flask of the altar of roses, sold in this souk, would cost a kings ransom. Some of the perfumery is 90 valuable that the merchant measures 1t out drop by drop, counting the drops by means of a bit of cotton which he takes from his ear.
 As we enter this bazar several Arab boys come to us and try to induce us to purchase at certain shops for which they are toutlng. We select one in which a gray-bearded old Abraham in costly raiment is sitting. He is In a little pen

KING ESTATE T
Niece and Daughter Establish Claims
to $50, 900.

The long case concerning the dis
tribution of the estate OF the late
Jerry King has just been settled in
the Pennington county circuit court.
King, who lived in that county for
many years and had cleaned up a for
tune amounting to $50, 900, left some
interesting legal questions to be set
tied by judge and jury. The first in
teresting question was whether or not
his niece. Miss Corinne Ray, was en-
titled to $4,000 in certificates on the
Pennington County bank, which her
uncle gave her shortly before his
death. He handed them to her with
the remark that this was to be her
share Of the estate. However. the
certificates we're no Endorsed. The
administrators therefore claimed that
they were %valueless, and that King
died intestate. The jury took a differ
ent view Of the question and rendered
a verdict in favor of Miss Ray. giving
her S11 1000 with interest, amounting
in all to nearly S12, 900. The second
question was the establishing of the
Identity of Mrs. Flora Belle Hollis of
Ellsworth, Me, who claimed to be the
daughter of King. Mrs. Hollis brought
from the Eastern state a number Of
witnesses to establish her claim, and
offered as M of the most telling bits
OF evidence a Black Hills gold ring
given her by King on his last visit,
and engraved on the inside to show
it was from her father. The court
decided in her favor, and she will re-
ceive the rest OF the estate, valued at
about $4,000.
Unless appeals are taken, these two
estates will stand. Additional claim
ants are turning up every few min
utes, however, in various parts of the
country, some of them in Canada, and
the final settlement Of Jerry Kings
gold still may be in the future.

STRENUOUS TIMES FOR FROST.

threatening letters. Some have threat

limited that his life was in danger.
The attempt was made when the

Frost. who sat close to the window,
and struck the wall just beyond the
colonel with such force as to break
off good sized pieces of plaster. Col.
Frost rushed out, but could find no
trace of anybody. The stone weighed
eighteen ounces. The man who threw
it had evidently stood close to the
window, and, as the curtain was raised
about a foot, it gave him a chance
to take good aim.
