Oh, George, my heart would break II

But 1t will not be So" said George,
passionately. I'VE love each other

ALL ARGUMENT AT AN END.
Youthful Logic That Completely
Silenced Mother.

A small girl of ten was starting to
consume tower of graham crackers
that she had ingeniously built at the
table. Her parents demonstrated with
her. The girl persisted and was final.
ly sent TO bed for disobedience.
The next morning after her father
had gone down TO the Office she turned
to her mother with an expression of
resignation and the words
Well, how long is this going to
last? | suppose I've got TO stand it
for the present, but just wait till 1
grow up and then I'm going to do ex-
actly what please"
But, Carol" argued her mother, a
bit alarmed at the child's persistence,
I'm grown up and ! don't always do
what ! want to-"
Well, remarked Carol, with an air
of conviction which contained a proph-
ecy, 'all | have 10 say is that you are
very foolish"
The argument was unanswerable
and the mother lapsed into silence.

CLING TO ANCIENT RITES.
Moroceans Still Offer Sacrifices to
Propltlate the Powerful.

A strange custom still exists here,
that of sacrificing live animals to pro-
pitlate those in power An instance
of 1t occurred the other day when
three ragged women, veiled, dirty and
poverty stricken, came staggering up
the hill to the fiagstaff which stands
In the middle of our camp, half push
ing, half carrying two sheep bound
and helpless. At the foot of our ban
ner staff they laid the beasts down
and sticking knife into their throats
left them there to die by slow inches.
No cries, no wailing, they huddled to-
gether and sat motionless awaiting
Allah's will. The Interpreter inter
viewed them and discovered that they
were the wives of Moor whom the
new Kaid had imprisoned for the
usual sin-the ownership of riches.
This brigand plundered everything
and turned the women out to starve.
Hearing of the approach of Basha-
dor, friend, no doubt, Of our lord the
sultan, they came to offer sacrifice
that he might have pity on them.
Alas! nothing can be done the Kaid
is all powerful, even the sultan is
helpless. Sometimes a bullock is
hamstrung on our road. Strange TO
say the sacrificed animal cannot be
used for food by the petitioners, but
our escorts profit and drag off the
carcasses with happy grins.-National
