MOMBASA, British East Africa, April
S-According to native reports received
here, the mullahs of the Somalis, in
habiting the desert country north of the
protectOrate, are showing signs OF I'M
rest and are massing on the northern
boundary of Kenya province.
Restlessness first became evident six
months ago, and there has been appre-
nension of trouble in the dry season,
when travel over the trails is easier.
This northern district always has been
a territory to watch closely.
When the natives do go out for
trouble they generally bear to the west
ward in the direction of the settled dis
tricts and the good hunting grounds.
There is some local anxiety today, par
ticuarly as d majority of the protec-
torate troops are at Berbera in British
Somaliland.
1t is said here that the colonial office
in London has issued instructions to
the governor of the protectorate to
surround Mr.. Roosevelt on his hunting
trips with every possible precaution for
his safety. Sir II. Hesketh- Bell, gov
ernor and commanderin-ch of Ugan-
da, will leave Uganda April % for Eng
land. Mr. Roosevelt and his party will
be received in Uganda by S. c. Temp

Progression In LANGUAGE.

1t is possible to tell almost exactly
when the more elegant "perspire"
drove out the vulgar sweat" Accord
ing to a writer in the Gentleman's
Magazine in 1891, "for some time past
neither man, woman nor child in
Great Britain and Ireland, of any rank
or fashion, has been subject to the
gross form of emulation which was
formerly known as sweat Now ey-
cry mortal, except carriers, coal hea-
vers and charmen, merely 'perspire.'
For these 20 years past the word
sweat has been gradually becoming
more and more odious." Before 1910
or so "perspiration" commonly meant
an insensible process, sweating" the
grosser variety thereof. In one of his
sermons Wesley remarked that dur

pires one part in four less when he
sweats than when he does not" That

JOY IN ONES PROPER WORK
Greatest Pleasure in Life is Doing
Task That One Has Long
Sought to Do.

The truth is that pleasure is a by
product OF work. The man who has
something to do that he wants to do
intensely, and that he Is able at last
to do, gets pleasure as a fee, as a
tip, as an extra allowance. Perhaps
the keenest joy in life is to accom-
plish what you have long sought to
do, even if you feel that the result
might be little better than you have
achieved. Possibly the most exuuis-
lite qualification comes from the con-
seriousness of good job we'll done.
The foolish talk about the Course of
labor is responsible for much of the
haste to gain wealth that we may re-
tire into idleness. But it we are hon
est with ourselves we know that labor
is never curse, that it is ever a
blessing. The theory that work in
itself is painful, OF that it Is the duty
only Of Interiors, is essentially aristo-
cratic and fundamentally feudal; it is
hostile to the democratic ideal. Work
is what sweetens life and gives de.
light to all our days. That man is
happiest and gets the utmost out of
life who is neither poor nor rich and
who is in love with his job, joying in
the work that comes to his hands.
And that man is truly cursed who is

VARYING DEGREES OF LUCK
MIR. 6wiIIkwllIby Could Safely Drop
Watch, But Not So Mr..
Grillkillton.

Some men, don't you know" said
Mr.. Grillkillton, will step off curb,
step down about foot and break
leg, and then another man will fail
OH the top of a History house and
not even muss his clothes; and it's
about the same way with watches.
II dropped my watch the other day
about six inches on to a thick plush
carpet and it cost me SIG for repairs;
when | was out walking with my
friend Bwillkwillby this morning he
dropped his watch on the sidewalk
and it didn't so much as stop it.
1T sounded when it came down like
safe falling out of a high window,
and 1T was only two-dollar watch
and expected of course to see
Bwillkwillby just kick the fragments
off the sidewalk and pass on but it
seems that Bwillk knew the watch
better. He picked up the crystal, not
even cracked, from where it had
flown seven feet away and put that in
his pocket and then he looked at the
watch.
ut was going all right, but some
how in the fall the long hand had got
bent. He Strengthened out that bent
hand with his pocket knife so that
the two pointers wouldn't catch and
then he pried off the crystal rim of the
watch and put the crystal back in
place and then he snapped the rim
back on the front of the watch again
and dropped the watch in his pocket
and started on; and:

LESSON FROM THE JAP BEAR
Many Others Might Take to Heart
What Ono Man Declares He
Has Learned.

IT never go to the Geological park,"
said frequenter of that resort, that
/ do not get some valuable lesson
from the animals. Last week l be-
came fascinated with the little black
Japanese bear. He is truly Japanese
In size, reminding one of the dwarfed
trees of that people, and the day
saw him he was doing whirling
dervish act around his cage-chasing
himself in continuous performance
that made me dizzy, and disdaining
all attempts of visitors to entice lin
from it. l noticed above his cage a
placard stating his genus, species,
etc. 1t also bore the information that
in disposition this species was ex-
ceedingly irritable and unfriendly,
that no specimen had been known to
make friends with even a keeper, and
that cowardice was a leading charac-
istic.
How strange / said to my COM
panion. I should think that if these
bears are cowardly they would try to
make friends in order to be safe from
harm
Perhaps said my companion, who
is shrewd observer, but I have no.
ticed that people who have ugly tenn
pers are nearly always cowardly.'
THAT gave me bunch. Whenever,
since then, have been on the point
of losing my temper the word cow
ard has come up before me in large
black letters and 1t is not a nice
word. We are not always so much
ashamed as we should be of having
hasty tempers and we often indulge
them with very little conjunction;
but no man will calmly brand him

BOTH ENGINEERS TO BLAME

lision, But 1t Only involved
Two Baby Carriages.

Head-on collisions on railroads are
commonly caused by disregard of sig
nails; this head-on collision on side
walk was due to quite another cause.
1t was between two baby carriages,
the engineers being two mothers, and
each vehicle containing one small pas
senger.
These two baby carriages in shop
ping street were being propelled from
opposite directions on the same line.
Usually in such circumstances baby
carriages turn out to pass when they
meet, but on this occasion the two
mothers propelling the baby carriages
had both become engrossed in the dis
play in shop window they were pass
ing and so engrossed they both kept
on advancing, with no thought of what
they were doing, with the space be.
tween the carriages steadily narrow
ing, narrowing, narrowing, until the
first thing you know, kerbunk! They
bumped right into each other in a
headon collision.
Both engineers had been so wrapped
up in what they saw in the window
that they had both been moving very
slowly and so no serious damage was
done, and now with their attention
brought back by the shock of the col
lision they both smiled and pulled
their carriages back enough to free
the interlocked wheels and then each
turned out and passed on.

There is a tendency to give indi.

in for dogs and cats, which may be
described as commonplace pets, these
creatures must be made different in

Either they must wear costly collars,
or bangles, or rich ribbons of one par.

be luxuriously upholstered; but, ii
