With infinite precautions as TO the

tones Of their voices. Larsan and
Rouletablllc discussed for a long time

are hundreds besieging you-the trouble is to get rid of him. He Is so humble and acts as- if he were your slave but all the time he wants his "bakskish' which means in English his tips. He takes you to the bazars which are one of Cairos sights. Most of the bazars are on narrow, dirty street, about eight feet wide with shops on each side which are about eight by ten feet In front of the shops are seats on which the GUS toners sit and on which the merchants offer their prayers at the appointed hours While you are negotiating for his goods he frequently sends out for tea and cof- fee and very seductive candy called Turkish Delight" which he adroitly uses to help the trades along No one ever gives the price asked An offer that may seem ridiculous is often accepted. For example. I was shown what I thought was an antiquity taken from one of the ancient tombs. The dealer asked me 50 piastres. I shook my mead and told him l wouldn't give over five pias- tres for it-25 cents. In an instant he handed it over and said take it.
 Cairo as shopp.ng place for women is ideal. There are many beautiful articles of Egyptian fancy work as the skill of their women in this line Is very great. New Cairo, in which the visitor shops, Is built up as any other modern city, but old Cairo which is the home of the Arabs and low Egyptians is place that cannot be well described in print The poverty, the squalor. the filth, dirt, deg radiation, the degeneration of beings who. are said to be made in the image of their Maker, is past description Their houses made of dirt, many without roofs, almost touch and as we threaded our way through these novels, with their Vile smells, hand was held out of every opening from applicants needy and dis tressed. No animals ever lived in such quarters Often some well-meanng per- son would enter only to come out cov- cred with vermin.
 All this degradation, under an Egyp- tian cloudless sky the beauty of which has no equal in the world. Rain rarely ever fails in Cairo. An average of inches year is the record. But for that great river, the Nile, 1t would be desert. Yet lands along It's banks brina $looo an acre They are the most fer tile in the world. On my return from our three weeks trip up the river I will Write you more of this beautiful and wonderful country.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
On the Streets of Cairo.
Le Editor of The Age-Herald !:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Volumes have been written on Egypt, volumes may still be written but not half the beauties, the mysteries, and the fas- cination of this wonderful country can ever be told A short newspaper article must, therefore, be unsatisfactory to the writer and uninteresting to the readet Still, I feel that plain letter giving plain facts written by the Man from Home may convey some idea of what is felt and what is seen after a months stay in land that boasts the oldest civiiza- ton on earth.
 Egypt Is situated in the northeast DOT ton of the continent of Africa and has population of ten million souls. 1t is com- posed of for the most part of native Egyptians, supplemented by Arabs and Turks in great numbers. Nubians, Ethi- oplans and Africans, Persans, Greeks Beduoin French, English and in fact rep resentatives from almost every nation on earth Almost all of Egypt is desert with the exception of the narrow strip situated on both sides of the river Nile, and which is overfiowed and irrigated by that great river.
 Cairo is its capital and it was here we stopped after our long voyage across the Atlantic and Mediterranean sea.
 The streets of Cairo as represented at all our great expositions in the United States, convey but faint idea of the pano- ramc scenes of this interesting city.
 Sitting in front of my hotel one morning l saw seven Egyptian funerals pass by. The funeral procession, always on foot, is headed by dozen or more of maimed, halt and blind, chanting in Arabic or Egyptian. There is no God but God '' and ''Mohamed is the true prophet" Next comes the bier which is a wooden box with long poles running out at each end and borne on the shoulders of four men; then come the members of the family followed by the hired mourners making the most weird and hideous noises imag- inable The professional mourners oc- casionally call a halt and sit on the ground and take a smoke, then they all throw dirt on their breasts and faces and pfoceed to the mosque, where prayers are said, then the body is taken to the tombs. In the burial grounds I learned that the men are buried in one portion of the cemetery and the women in another

ELEVEN TEAMS
 STILL IN RAGE

New York, March 10-Eleven teams of pedestrians continued tonight in the six day go-as-you-please race at Madison Square Garden There was but one de- sertion from the ranks today Edeson, who was paired with Quackenbush. Edel- son got beyond the control of his train CTS and insisted on going for a walk about town. When he returned the phys ician in charge of the race said he was unfit to continue and he was ruled off the course His partner then teamed with Semeran, who had been running for hours without a mate
 The strain on the contestants was begin ming to tell. The feature of the day was the work of Dineen and Prouty, who went ahead of Feagan and Curtis, the Irish men, and took third place.
 The leading teams at 10 o'clock tonight were
