SHRlNES IN MOROCCO.
Why some People Look Upon Them
With Suspicion.

A traveller says that Christians In Mo-
rocco look with suspicion on the
shriues Of Mohammedan saints In that
country. He tells the following story.
"Once upon a time boy was travelling
through the country, and as night came
on he found himself near white
washed tomb. Knocking at the door OF
the shrine, he asked for meal and
bed When the next day dawned he
was about to continue his journey, but
the keeper Of the shrine beSOught him
to remain in order to help him keep
the shrine and collect the offerings Of
the faithful. The youth said that he
must first consult his parents, and the
elder man babe him take his ass and
seek advice Of his parents and return
The boy took the ass and rode away.
but he had not accomplished half the
Journey before the ass fell cick and
died. Then the boy knew not what to
do nor where to turn. But when he
had considered the circumstances OF
his case a brilliant idea flashed into his
mind.
Having dug pit and cast the ass
therein, he piled great stones over IT,
whitening them with lime, and set
white flag above, saying to all who
passed by, This Is the tomb Of st. So
and-so.' Then worshlpers came from
every side, aims We're poured In and
offerings showered upon him. The
keeper Of the former shrine lost his
customers and came to visit the new
saint. He when tho crowd had gone
approached the young shrine keeper.
4 ask thee by Allah said the old man.
who Is this saint Of thine and what
manner Of thing is buried here"
81 will not deceive thee, but will tell
thee the TRUTH returned the youth.
MY saint who is buried here is none
other than thy beast. even the carcass
! OF thine own ass. And now, pray, who
Is thy saint and who in truth Is buried
in the shrine thou keepestT Il will not
deceive thee. but will tell thee the
TRUTH replied the old man. My saint
Is the father of thy saint"
