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 must have been in league
with the palace camarilla.
A double tap at 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 a
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 meted out 30 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
parliament, representing the people,
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 a 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 a successor ap-
pointed. The Turk recalled from the
national capital is no other than the
father of the missing secretary, and
as a consequence it was expected
that the pair would connive together
as to the best mode of procedure in
the present case, for both might be
made 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 bad way in Turkey,
and despite the fact that they cheer
the sultan outside of the palace until
he has to empty the court water pitch

contrsptions arrived in town last week
and during the first spin the ownet
took in it it pitched blind mule on
top of the town hall, with the man
that was ridin' the mule. The mule
was so mad it kicked the town clock
to pieces, likewise kickin' a hole In

Bachelors are fond of talking about
the extravaganza of women and giving
that as the excuse for their not mar
rying while they know in their hearts
that there are lots of women whom
they might marry who are not extrav-
agant. as regards clothes at least.
But these women they look upon as
dowdies, and don't want them for life
partners, which goes to show that

no better star-gazer was to be found

him many times and found that Alb
dul's predictions were always true?
He had.
Then mentally the sultan went over
what his astrologer had told him only
the Friday previous.
Mars, the star which portended for
war, was gradually fading away, and
Huda had also said that within few
weeks there would probably be no

MOTHER AND CHILD

The value of this famous food Is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its chem
ical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, Is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these ce-
reals.
1t contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system of the child
grows so rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value Of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:

cover health and strength, and the
doctor said could not nurse the baby
as did not have nourishment for her,

FIRST soeTRArr OF oPtg's.
Accepted a Beating in order 20 In
sure lts Success.

John Cpie, the English painter, is
described as a man Of humble origin,
who achieved success wholly oy his
own genius and perseverance. The
story of his first effort in that line OF
art which arterward brought him fame
ter OF Holkham, as follows:
When a small boy of ten or twelve
he was left at home one Sunday after
noon with his father, while his moth
er went to church. The father estab-
lished himself in the parlOr with his
Bible, and told the boy to be quiet
and amuse himself.
Young Opie, who had procured some
paints, took up position unobserved
in the kitchen, directly opposite the
parlor door. Very quietly he drew a
portrait of the old man bending over
his Bible, until he had finished every
thing except the head, when he began
running backward and forward to
study his fathers face.
The old gentleman grew very angry
at these apparently senseless Interrupt
tons and threatened to punish his
son IL they continued.
This was exactly what the boy want
ed, as he wished to paint his fathers
eye lit up and sparkling with anger.
So he continued his irritating behav-
Tor until It met with the desired re-
suit, and his father. justly wrathful.
administered a sound thrashing.
This achieved, the boy resumed his
task eagerly, and transferred to his
picture the expression which he had
just seen upon the face Of his indig.
nant parent.
When his mother returned from
church, he placed the picture tri'
umphantly before her; but although
astonished and delighted with it, she
thought 1t her duty to scold her son
severely for painting on Sunday.
Young Opie, however, cared no more
for the scolding than for the beating
| he had received in accomplishing his
work, and only hugged his mother de
! lightedly in his excitement at it's sue
cess.
His father, coming into the room al
this juncture, and spying the portrait
| of himself, was so surprised ant
pleased at it that he told the mother
not to scold the boy any more.
Subsequently, whenever the picture
was shown, he used to tell with great
relish the story of young Opie's plucky
acceptance of beating in order to in
sure its success.-Youth's Companion

fight OF CURIO
Dealers IN court
AllegedSabbath
Hailed Before
Andrade

A fight between The dealers in Gu
rios of this city was the thing which
engaged most of the attention of
Judge Andrade in the Police Court
this morning. First of all, John Eff
finger, who is somewhat of a church
pillar himself, was charged with vio-
lating the Sabbath law by keeping
his store open on Sunday, and Jas.
Steiner and Mrs. Taylor, the florist,
were up on similar charges. All the
complaints were s%orn to by II. w.
Rictow, also a curio dealer, who does
not keep his store open on Sundays.
A. s. Humphreys, who appeared
for all the defendants, interposcd u
demurrer to the complaint ON the
ground that IL did not state what
goods were sold or to whom they were
sold. He contendel that under the
Sixth Constitutional Amendment the
defendants had right to know the
specific facts. Prosecutor Brown re-
piled that he could not supply those
details, but that lie intended to argue
that this was not necessary. Argu-
ment of the point was set for We'd
nesday.
This was followed by the case of
Captain Waipa Parker on charge OF
assault and battery on Rietow on
Sunday, Sept. G, when Rietow came
to ask him to close the stores of his
rivals. Parker, 1t appeared, told RE
tow that he would take no action
without first consulting his superb
ors, and when R,etow insisted that
he should take prompt action, he Or
dered Rietow out OF the station
twice. Rietow had not used any vio-
lent language, but Parker had put
him out by placing his hand on his
shoulder, though he had used no ex-
cess of force.
The Captain was finally rcpriman-
ded and discharged, the Court finding
that the assault was purely techni-
cal ono.
