travelled many hundreds OF miles over
1T while in Algeria and Tunisia. In
Tripoli my eyes We're made sore by the
glare Of the Libyan wastes and their
dust blew across the Nile valley during
my stay in Egypt and the British
Sudan. The Arabian desert was on
both sides of US as we came down the
Red Sea. and its sands several times
|sprinkled the ship. We had the rock
lest of all deserts in Southern Arabia,
and that of Italian Somaliland was not
any better.
The surroundings here remind mo OF
Solomon's song. All nature seemed
joyful. The rain has conquered the
sun and there are moss, vines and trees
everywhere. The shores of the main
land are bordered, with cocoanuts: we
have on Mombasa mighty baobaba>
loaded with green, and even its cliffs
are moss-grown.
This island is, in fact, jungle Of
green on foundation Of coral. It is
only mile or SO wide and four miles
In. length, but it rises we'll up out OF
the sea and Is so close to the conti-s
lnent that one can almost hear the
wind blow through the cocoaput groves
over the way.
On the island itself the jungle has
been cut UP into wide roads. There Is

tfon at one end OF it. and the hills are
spotted with the homes OF the British
lotiicials.. There are two good harbors.
a little one and a big one. The little
one Is in the main part of the town,
and is frequented by small craft. The
other could hold all the ships that sail

s. Notwithstanding this lease, Mombasa
really belongs to tho British, and the
British can force the Sultan at any
time to give them clear title to it.
This Is what the Germans have done
as to German East Africa, and what
the British will probably do at some
time in the future.
AS it's now. the place is the capital
of British East Africa. It has the
chief government buildings, Including
the treasury and law courts and the
states prison as we'll. The town has
now about 10000 people. and of these
less than 200, perhaps are Europeans
There are altogether about half
dozen different settlements, each in
habited by q different class of Asiatics
or Africans. There Is an Asiatic mer-
camille quarter, residence quarter, a
large SWahili village. and business
street, which is almost European in
character.
There are two hotels which claim

native people of the city are of all

Some Queer Asintics.
But first let me give you some idea
OF the Asiatics who have come here
from Arabia ana East India. The Arabs
wear turbans and gowns and constitute
an important element OF the comm,ln-
ity. They were formerly slave traders,
and until the British took hold anu
built the Uganda Railway they did a
big business in toting ivory down from
Lake Victoria and other parts OF Cen-
tral Africa on the heads Of slaves, scll-
ling both3slaves and ivory here at Nom
basa This business has all been done
away with. and the ivory now comes ii
on the railway. q
AS to the East Indians, they are
mostly. retail merchants and traders.
There arc Parsees. with $tnll hats,
aindus In white sheets, and other East
Indians who wear little round gold
caps, gay vests and calico trousers.

CUT THIS OUT
AND SAVE It

There is so much Rheumatism
here in our neighborhood now that
the following advice will be highly
appreciated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy
one half ounce Fluid Extract Dan
delion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Shake these well in
bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and at bed
time; also drink plenty of good
water.
1t is claimed that there are few
victims of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple homemade
mixture, and IN most cases per-
manent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimi-
native tissues of the Kidneys so
that they can filter and strain
from the blood and system the
poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism,
but numerous other diseases. Ev-
cry man or woman here who feels
that their kidneys are not healthy
and active, or who suffers from
any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make up
this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you
from much misery and suffering
after while.
Our home druggists say they
will either supply the ingredients
or mix the prescription ready to
take If our readers ask them.

THE VERY BEST.

Have any of our readers seen a re-
cent copy of the Cincinnati Weekly
Enquirer? If not, it will pay te
send for copy, If for no other pur.
pose than to note its present great
worth as an educator in all things
that tend to make life prosperous,
and home, the happiest place Oh
earth.
The editor by asking its readers
to criticise and suggest improve
ments; and following advice thus
obtained is enabled to produce a
paper that exactly fits needs of a
family and a material aid to father,
mother and children in reaching
that higher level in social life,
where content and comfort reigns
supreme.
Father obtains ample information
that guides in the where, when and
how to regulate and increase the
income from his efforts. The
mother in management of house
hold affairs, practical economy,
government of children, and other
duties that makes her toll a labor
of love. Children's minds and
hearts are freed from thoughts of
questionable amusements and fri
yolities of life, and encouraged to
emulate all that is helpful In PLAN
ing for useful future In life.
The Grand Idea being that "As
are our Homes, so will be the Com
munity, State and Nation"
A most desirable help, Is non
sectarian sermon each week, as
preached by that Biblical Student
Pastor Chas. 7. Russell; a forcible
reminder of the spiritual and tenn
poral rewards gained by righteous
living as preferable to a Goddess
life that brings nought but misery
to the home.
Other departments and features
are above the ordinary, the unani-
nous verdict of its readers being

Plttsburg Grafters.

Pittsburg, Dec 23 --Pittsburg
today moved into first place in the
role of corruption and municipal
graft. Tonight after thunder
bolts in the shape of senatorial
testimony had been exalted, the
trials of San Francisco appeared
tame in comparison. And it is
stated that the shocking develop.
ments of the day are mere prelim.
inaries and that subsequent pro.
ceedings against the additional
councilmen and business men will
not starte Pittsburg, but the whole
country.
From testimony in court today,
the councilmen is corruption in
every sense Of the word. 1t was
intimated that over three score
councilmen are "easy to reach"
and the "reaching' necessity only
small sums, ranging from 800 to
So.
Out of IA mass of testimony it
was CLEANED that a majority of
the council members have been
"reached." la the passage of one
ordinatce alone 1t was testified
that 60 councilmen had divided
Sis, 900.
The evidence as given today
showed conclusively the gigantic
proportions of the graft system,
and while insinuations haye been
made for some time that things
were crooked, it was not believed
they were any way near so bad as
the evidence at today's prelim.
mary hearing proved them to be.

Cities Short Of Cash.

Not only county auditors but
city auditors also are confronted
with the problem of dealing with
shol tage of funds during 1909,
due to the effect of the voting out
of saloons in dry counties under
the Rose law. In cities in the dry
counties the 1909 tax levy was
made up on the basis of the usual
revenue from saloons. Now that
the saloons are closed, the city
auditors find themselves facing O
deficit in the city revenues.
How to deal with this condition
in the dry cities will be perhaps
the most important subject which
will be discussed at the annual
meeting of the City Auditors as
sociation Of Ohio, which will be
held in Columbus Jan. ~ and ID.
The date of the meeting was fixed
yesterday when ity Auditors,
Fillmore Musser of Portsmouth,
president of the associations; S. j.
Dorgan of Mt. Vern IN, Frank d.
Maurath of Newark and S. G.
Noble of Columbus, secretary of
the association, conferred with Of.
ficials of the state bureau of uni.
form accounting.
The date of the meeting was
fixed to make it agreeable to Off
cials of the state bureau, who will
attend and discuss questions con
nected with the administration OF
city auditors offices on which the
m embers desire information. TIC
illustrate what conditions may bt
in other cities, City Auditor Noble
said the city of Columbus this
year derived $203,O0O revenue
from its saloons.
