bounded by the railroad village at one ex- treme and the limit of his usual hunting preserve on the other. There were per haps not more than half a dozen families in the township, all of the same type as himself.
 The demand for a few "store necess- ties'' forced him to abandon for q day or two his principal occupation of hunting to cut d load of cross-ties and carry to the market. He would cut q load in one day and market them the next. The nearest railroad station was a half days journey away by steers and the trip con sumed the day. He got 29 cents each in trade for his ties, and In this way laid In u store of salt meat sugar, coffee tobac- co and snuff. The women of his house. hold spun and wove the clothing The wants of these people were few and easi- ly supplied
 Bob and his race were happy and con tented, until the Georgian came and bought an eighty" in the neighborhood. He brought his family and horse It was the only horse in the community, and Bob said the Georgian had the "biS- head" When Sunday came and the Georgian went to church in a boiled shirt and a paper collar Bob got restless.
 The pioneer was followed by others of his kind, who settled about in the forest, cleared away the timber and began farm ing. This was an encroachment on the hunting preserves, and Bob began 10 scratch his head.
 In some of these new families there were girls who were pleasing to Bob. but he could not adapt himself to their white frocxs made of ''store bought cloth,' and though he tried hard to brace up ana

 And it was very kind of you, my own darling; and I felt it so much that l wouldn't on any account have mentioned that you bought a salmon which was too much for two; or that it cost one pound six which was more than we can afford

Why Wilson Wrote of Dana.

The publication by the Harpers of The Life of Charles A. Dana, by General James Harrison Wilson, makes the gen. erals own account of why he wrote the biography of much interest. He says
 Having met Charles A. Dana first in the spring of 1863 during the Vicksburg campaign, it was my good fortune to serve with him in the field during three of the most memorable campaigns of the civiu war, and for short period under him. as a bureau officer of the dar depart ment. Our duties threw us much to- gether. and of all the men I ever met he was the most delightful companion. Overfowing with the Knowledge of art, science and literature, and widely ac- ouainted as he was with the leading men and movements of the times, his conver- salon was a constant delight and a con stant instruction. Blessed with a vigorous constitution and an unsuitable desire for information. he never once, by day or night or in the presence of danger how ever great, declined to accompany me on expedition or an adventure. Naturally, this companionship begot both a confi- oence and an intimacy that. I am glad to say. lasted to the end of his career, and are my warrant for becoming his biographer."

scription was carved upon it mentioning the nime and sometimes the story of the man. In many of the tombs gold and silver and precious stones have been found, and in others articles which H. lustrata the life of the times Some of the ton.bs were those of little children. In one 1 saw the bones of a woman, the impression of whose buxom bust still showed in the plaster cast made by the SOL limestone and clay. Upon a shelf over this I saw the bones of baby of p ~haps two years of age, and in the pigeon hole just below the skull and foot os man, the rest of his skeleton having passed away.
 am writing these notes in Sfax, the capital of southern Tunisia and one of the rapidly growing cities of northern Africa. The town lies on harbor, which can be entered by the largest of ocean steamers, and it has a considerable trade. It ships of phosphate and olive oil. and millions of sponges, caught in the water nearby. The population of Sfax is about 50,0O0 natives and 5000 Europeans, the most of whom are Italians and Spaniards. The European town lies between the Arab town and the sea. It contains a theatre. a postoffice, several hotels and some few business houses.
 The native city, like all those of Tunisia. is surrounded by an enormous wall and entered by gates. The houses inside the walls are all of Arabian architecture, and the streets wind this way and that, and are too narrow for wheeled vehicles.
 The natives are Mohammedans of the Mohammedans. They do not like Chris tians and it was not until 1882 that Europeans were allowed to come inside the walls. Were it not that the French govern the country, 1t would hardly be possible to go inside today and, in fact, one sees few Europeans inside the town. They are not allowed to enter the princi- pal mosque and it is not safe to go into any of the other places of worship.
 The people of Sfax dress in oriental costumes. the women wrapping them selves up in white blankets. which they hold so tightly over their faces that only three -cornered eye hole can be seen. Thea do not wear black, as in Sousse and Kairouan. The men are clad like their kind in all parts of Tunisia.

fight off his shyness, he was a miserable failure.
 When Bob found that the men folks of this tribe could not crack d whip or drive steers without lines he took fresh courage and felt that his domain had not been en- tirely confscated. He made a desperate struggle for social supremacy, and as d last resort bought fried shirt and paper collar
 But his defeat came with the advent of the schoolmaster, who taught the strange doctrine that the earth Is round and turns on it's "aXle." This was the straw that broke the camel's back, and Bob prepared to follow the trail into the forest. He was followed by neighbors of the original type, who left the newcomer with his more progressive ideas to develop the country as he pleased.
 But, after all, Bob was a great charac- ter, and one well worth knowing. He was a philosopher and an optimst. The tur- moil of politics and the responsibilities of government never worried his mind. h. deed, he had but a vague idea of govern ment He looked on it as a sort of com bined aggregation of despotism, whose whole energy is directed against the ib- erty of American citizenship.
 Strikes and financial depressions were unknown to him. If the price of cross ties declined a cent on the tie he simply cut one more and supplied the deficiency, grumbled a little and went on his way singing to the cracking accompaniment of his ten-foot oX-whip.
 In religion Bob was predestinationist. He believed that what is to be will be anyway and what is the use to worry. The simplicity of his religion was pie

handy in the many emergencies that pre- sent themselves by the way. He is use ful in watching time tables and carrying handbags.
 Mrs. James Sydney Mccullough of Chi cago has taken pity on the suffering hus- band and has opened an avenue through which he may gain some recognition for his trammeled virtues. She has opened the door of hope" to him and her name will be called blessed by every suffering hubby in the land.
 Mrs. Mccullough has a husband and seems to appreciate his worth. It is true she has not had him long, only eight months but she is a woman of keen per ception and has had ample time to an- alyze the permanency or ms qualities.
 She has inaugurated a husband show, where the poor fellows are permitted 10 put their virtues on parade and have them duly judged by disinterested persons who are supposed to be without preju- dice.
 At the initial event Mrs. Mccullough chose two spinsters who are supposed to be without bias on the subject of men, and husbands in particular, as judges, and it is said that the result was highly satisfactory. Every husband put on ex- hibition received a prize of some sort, ribbon at least, and all the wives entering their husbands went away apparently sat isfed.
 Some of them were possibly surprised that their husbands got even ribbon, but this fact will tend to open their eyes to virtues that possibly they had never discovered or had refused to recognize

E-Djem is right out in the open; and save for a little Arab village of mud huts about ten feet in height there are no other buildings in sight.
 From the top of the automobile one can see the ruins long before he comes to them. At first they look like a mighty bluff, fortihcation of the walls of d fortified town. Nearer we observe that they are a great amphitheatre, and closer still the walls tower over us to the height of a twelvestory fiat. One side of the amphitheatre has been torn away, but the greater part still stands. l climbed up from gallery to gallery, and wandered through the arcades, where the men and women promenaded in the days of imper- ial Rome while waiting for the gladiator ial shows to begin in the arena below.
 The outlines of the arena are plainly marked They inclose an ellipse of almost an acre. and according to my paces they actually measure about POO feet long and 1I5 feet wide
 The walls of this mighty structure, the most of which still stand, are l2O feet high, and it is said that they were one story higher, but that the top story has been torn away. There are three galleries rising one over the other. Under the lower ones are the cells where the wild animals were kept and the rooms in which the gladiators waited until called into the arena to fight with beasts or murder the early Christians. This theatre saw the massacre of thousands; it was even more noted for it's lions than that of Rome, the wild beasts being brought from the Atlas mountains nearby.
