saying that unless bills were present.

were made the same would lay on

The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-10-01

Previously everything had looked
splendid to the monarch. The Young
Turks had not objected to his harem
until Huda got in bad with the planets
and many Of that party had promised
to leave the country rather than be
called to purga:ory by decapitation.
AS each step in this fearful condi-
tion OF things came to his mind his
royal highness decided that it looked
darker for Abdul Huda's head and also
rather dark for Abdul Seconds safety,
the latter being the sultan himself.
There was no one else to blame 1t
on except the astrologer. Had not his
plea of sickness when other nations
pressed him for the return of their
loans, always been sufficient to quell
them? 1t had, and he could see no
other reason for the status than by re-
turning to his original reason.
If things went wrong in this man.
ner Huda mc.s have been in league
with the palace camarilla.
A double tap at a secret BELL an
order shouted down the speaking tube
and the officials of the palace camaril-
la were pinched.
This retinue included Ria Pasha,
the former minister OF war, and Rag
hib Pasha, one of the justly exalted
and highly honored court chamber
lains. Because he considered the dig
nifty OF his position Raghib barricaded
himself within his cyclone cellar
few plazas from the royal mansion
and prepared to sell his life as dearly
as possible. He opened fire on the
police, but his ammunition soon gave
out and the minions of the law es-
corted him into the royal presence,
who melted out 80 days and costs in
the royal dungeon.
Because the court soothsayer's re-
port had been doctored. the sultan set
about to corral the entire body OF
hangers-on, who daily loafed about the

court. This done he issued notice that

would be held in the fall.
He had to issue the notice himself,
for the former power behind the
throne-Achmed Izzet Pasha, his sec
retary-smelling the trouble by far
better method than that which the
astrologer possessed, skipped the coun-
try and few days later was reported
In the United States.
Then in view of the new order OF
things within his realm, Abdul II de-
cided to call home his ambassadors
at foreign capitals. Hence not long
ago we read in press dispatches that
Mehmed Ali Bey had been recalled
from Washington and successor ap-
pointed. The Turk recalled from the
national capital is no other than the
father of the missing secretary. and
as consequence 1t was expected
that the pair would connive together
as to the best mode of procedure In
the present case, for both might be
made a part of the consignment of
corpses which the sultan had billed
for the morgue on New Years day.
Thus by the foregoing will be seen
that things are in a bad way in Turkey.

The pickpocket is one of the best in

my friend didn't think anything
more about him, but the other night
he was in saloon. after he had been
celebrating most of the day. He was
pretty happy and the pickpocket came
in. My friend had diamond stud in
his tie with screw attachment. The
pickpocket walked up.

said. but met you the other night

from me. You may lose that sinner

Then the pickpocket looked at the
diamond. He said the screw attach

it. He fished around in his pockets
and produced rubber band, which he
tied around the screw.

A eiMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING
PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy 1t Is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market. which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes. and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad.
vantage OF the simple means of pro
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers. he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.
1t is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that
National Lead Company, the largest
makers OF genuine Pure White Lead,
place their famous Dutch Boy Paint
err" trademark on every key of their
product. an absolute guarantee of its
purity and quality. Anyone who wants
to make practical test of white lead,
and who wants valuable free book
about painting, should address Ma
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
Bldg. New York, and ask for test
equipment.

and despite the fact that they cheer

he has to empty the court water pitch

he had on first entering the jail was

AS Turks go he is a young man still,
and being unmarried there probably

augured well for friends of the sultan.
Surely, then, there was no cause for
trouble, the ruler soliloquized to him
self. He paused and pondered and
then lit up with a new kind Of to-
bacco.
Fifteen minutes elapsed.
'Ha, I see it ALL" he whispered to
the royal fox terrier. "Huda's in bad
with the stars"
Then in a loud voice:

majesty.
Within a few minutes, Huda, his
trunk packed for his vacation. was
ushered into the regal presence, well
knowing that the signs had been
switched under his eyes.
"Off with his head!" shouted the
sultan, rising from the divan.
Fifteen brown forearms pulled 15
shining sabers and were ready to de-
liver the fatal stroke with the same
regularity that governs up-to-date mel

The days routine over, the sultan
re-seated himself upon the divan and
thought of what had best be done
Finally he decided that there could
be no place Just like jail as punish

However, the story goes, the former
student Of the stars will offer up his

that as far as he could. discern by
