the oppressors of the poor. The men
whom he selected as his disciples and
who were the first promoters OF the

church received its strongest support
from the great labor guilds of that

cere and altogether free from selfish
interests, asked the minister what he
could do under the circumstances.
General Wallace said that he appreci-
ated the trust and confidence Of the
So tan. but that being the representa-
tive, officially of the United States OF
America. he could not advise the
ruler of another country as to what
steps that ruler should take against
a third power, especially when this
third power was on friendly tern
with his own country.
The sultan acknowledged the cor
rectness of this position, and be-
sought the general to make an ex
ception, saving that there was no
other man in the empire TO whom he
could go for one single word Of non
est, disinterested advice But the
general repeated that ne could not
be false to his duty as a minister
and envoy from his government.
Then said the sultan: Tell me as
private individual, tell me as a
friend"
This appeal touched General Wal
lace deeply, and he said: LAS d
friend, then, and private citizen, I
will say this, that were l in the po-
sition you nave described to me l
should put myself at the head of my
troops and fight to the bitter end"
Al these words the blood left the
sultan's face and he fell to the floor
in a dead faint He felt their truth
and he knew, Furthermore, that he
lacked the will power, to carry out
such a program.
1t is not, therefore, to be wondered
at that the sultan refrained from
further talks of private nature with
the author of Ben Hur.''
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-07-25

Following in told a story of the
first last and only private interview
which Abdul Eanid IL. Sultan OF
Turkey, ever had with General Lew
Wallace OF Ben Hur" fame:
When General Wallace was the
American plenipotentiary in Con-
stantinople ne saw this white feather
at close quarters-toO close for com
fort, really-but his involuntary in
spection was decidedly convincing,
says the Chicago Tribune.
1t seems that from the day of ais
presentation to the sultan the general
had grown in favor of the court and
was frequently commanded" to at
tend merely from the personal liking
of Abdul Hamid for the American
minister and the enjoyment of con-
versation with him. In those days
the sultan was particularly vexed
over affairs in Egypt. He felt that
England had taken the control of the
country out of his hands entirely.
She had hardly said "by your leave"
but had advised" him that for the
good of Egypt he, Abdul Hamid II,
had better let her, and then had gone
ahead.
He had accepted the advice be-
cause he had nothing to say no
with. Without a fleet what could
anyone say to England? His forced
acQuiescence worried the sultan con-
tinuOusly until he could not endure
longer without madness. In mis- dis
tress ne summoned General Wallace
and described to him in detail his
humiliating condition
The general listened with friendly
sympathy and the sultan, being re-
lieVed in thus talking in confidence

Animals Cannot Reason.

Animals do not reason If any one
truth has come out of all the critical
study of the animal mind that has
been going on since this century came
in, this is it. Animals do not reason;
they never have reasoned; they never
by any possibility can reason. The
wisest Of them do, indeed, get into
the borderland that separates reason
in from other mental processes; but
gets uneQuivocally across the line.

1t is possible to object, however, not
only to this species Of reasoning from
analogy" but also to the validity of
the analogy itself as supporting the
