halted piled up on itself, and displayed
formidable battle front. A clear open space
was beyond and in it, rank on rank, were the
Berber horsemen and their allies.
Buhammei had proved better General
than they believed. With his vastly superior
force, he had been able to spare men for bat
tie in the first instance, while at the same
time hurting legion after legion to the upper
ford to possess and hold it for the crossing of
his army. In the fore ranks of both armies
was waiting silence. In the rear of each,
stretching off into unknown distances, were
the shouts of men hurrying to the front. 1t
was quite plain now that with this new adj
vantage of position and superiority of num-
bers there could be scarcely any doubt of
which side would prove victorious. 1t was
Buhammeis battle.
THE Kaid, by Dicks side, sitting stolidly
on his horse, was swearing long string
of hard British oaths as continuously as if
they were Moslem prayers. The shadows
had heightened until the two confronting
armies were outlined in long, wavering sill
houettes upon the sand And then, with in
comparable stateliness, there passed out in
front of the enemy ranks white clad figure
on splendidly caparisoned horse. 1t lifted
a sword on high, and for the first time the
American was conscious of the time. 1t was
sunset.
Allah ii Allah, Buhammei shouted, and
the cry was taken up far back along the lines
The Kaid sprang from his horse, and Dick,
recognizing the call to prayer, did likewise.
Both armies Frustrated themselves on the
sand. Opponents, yet kindred in race and
faith, they declared truce in that magic of
religion which held them all. The Kaid had
lifted his helmet and was standing SO close to
Dick that the latter heard his fervent whisper.
by Heavens, we've a chance! They'll
fight no more tonight, and if his Majesty
keeps his word by dawn the machine guns
will tell the tale!'

SILK HAT TEMPERATURE

MEN who wear silk hats know that the
IA temperature inside the hat is much
higher than outside; but it has remained for
a French physician to measure the differ
ence. He has discovered that when the
thermometer registers ninety degrees in the
shade in the outer air it stands at one hum
dred and eight degrees in his silk hat. and
that when it is sixty-eight degrees outside it
is lightweight inside. From these differ
ences he concludes that the unnatural heat
causes many nervous troubles.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN

"I'm going to get the better of you this time
by fair means or foul!
If the father had known then what the
young fellow meant. the speed contest would
never have taken place. However, getting
ready, the two machines finally chugged into
position and were off like flash on their way
past Seabright, Monmouth Beach, Low
Moor, and Galilee. Just before striking the
bend in the road near North Long Branch,
the young man put on all the speed he could
and managed to get a good lead over his
sweetheart's father.
At that instant two men jumped into the
road with red lanterns and, waving them in
circle in front of them, commanded the
father to stop.
The father did stop, admitted that he was
breaking all sorts of speed laws, and accepted
his discontinue in good grace. Just wait
minute" he told his captors, land that
other car will be back and then we shall get
the whole matter Strengthened out" He did
not see the two men smile.
The other car did not come back-not for
two days. When it did, it brought with it
two young smiling persons who, more than
anything else, wanted "bless YOU my chill
dren.'' They got it. Then the father was
told that the two "constables who had held
him up for speeding were college chums of
the bridegroom.

And in a Balloon

THE elopement of professional balloon

county fair exhibition in Illinois last autumn.
was published so widely at the time in the
newspapers from one end of the land to the

Handicapping the Mother

A BOUT ten months ago, transforming
theatrical company, then playing the
various watertanks and clearings along the
Kansas railroads, contained in its roster a
young actor who was desperately in love
with the ingenue. The latter returned her
hero's affection, although her mother, who
was also member of the organization, had
expressed her disapproval of the whole affair
in numerous concrete outbursts. When the
young man, accordingly. dared to ask the
mother for her daughters hand, he got, not
the hand. but the cold shoulder. The lovers
were in despair; but not for long.
The next night, while going through their
love scene in the second act of the comedy
that was being presented, the young man
whispered to his sweetheart the mystic
words, Lets elope!" The girl smiled acqui-
essence, and, while the audience was still
applauding on their exit, the lovers were
hurrying unnoticed from the stage door in
their costumes to the town livery stable.
And while they sped in buggy to the next
hamlet six miles away, the third act was
allowed to proceed as best it could, with the

fearsome game of locking the family skeleton

body facetiously says that clipping has be-
come the king of outdoor sports in America.
Where. once upon time, it was played only
at infrequent intervals. to-day, if we are to
believe the accounts that fill the daily news
papers. it is being taken up by rich and poor
alike all over the country. Sometimes it is
taken up by rich and poor together, as in
the case of the Philadelphia heiress who ran
away short time ago with waiter from
one of the leading hotels of that city.
An elopement isn't safe cornerstone for
home, and that somebody's happy home is
built upon one is no criterion, -but what can
more distress a parent than that son or
daughter has eloped, merely copied the ex
ample set by father and mother?
Now, when poor young man runs away
with poor young woman, that is an elope-
ment. When rich young man runs away
with poor young woman. that is develop
ment. When poor young man runs away
with rich young woman, that is an embez-
element. But, inasmuch as ruse by any
other name would smell as sweet, l refrain
from intimate characterizations and simply
note here few of the oldest elopements
that have been linotyped in the last year for
the delectation of the public.

A Race with a Queer Ending

DURING the last year there were chroni-
cled any number of Opponents in autos,
only one of which. however, bore any par
ticular marks of originality. The elopement
in question had its setting in Northern New
Jersey during the summer season. The
young man in the case was an automobile
enthusiast; but not more of one than was
the father of the girl. The father liked the
young fellow; but hardly regarded him in
the light of son in law.
One evening the young man drove his
automobile up to his sweetheart's summer
home and, following out plan he and the
girl had agreed upon, asked the father if he
felt like giving him little speed confess"
along the ocean drive. The father agreed
that nothin , would please him more, and in
half an hour both machines were ready for
the brush down the coast road
The girl said she would ride in the young
mans car for change" and her father
smiled his permission.
" 1t will only be extra weight for you, he
remarked to the young man.
"Oh, l don't mind laughed the latter.

Cupid on the Diamond

MOT less careless than these clippers was
young man who while playing in game
of baseball last year on a Richmond. Vir-
gina, nine, disappeared during the first half
of the fifth inning while his side was at bat,
and, it was learned subsequently, eloped with
his ladylove. The young couple had agreed
to deceive their parents in this manner. The
man, by entering the game, threw the girls
suspicious father off the trail, the latter hav-
ing been on the lookout for sometime for any
elopement his daughter and her lover might
have schemed.
The girl, with her father, was spectator
in the grandstand. When the nine of which
her future husband was member came in
in the fifth inning, the girl exclaimed to her
parent, "Oh, look! There's Mary So and So
sitting over there! I'm going to run over and
talk to her minute" The father thought
nothing more about it, until, as inning after
inning passed, his daughter failed to return.
He looked for Mary So and So, found her,
and asked her where his daughter had gone.
Mary replied in surprise that she had not
seen her all afternoon. And then the father
for the first time realized that Cupid had
called his daughter out at home.

UNCLE sAM's STAMPS.
Wonderful Collection In the Postof6o>
 Department Museum.

Wendsrfui Collection In the Postohios
 Department Museum.
 The fact that nearly all men at some time were stamp collectors is said to account for the popularity of the otfi- cial stamp collection of the United States postoffice department maintain ed in connection with the postal mu- scum in Washington. Postoffice de pertinent officials say 100000 men call every year to see the museum stamp collection.
 The postofice department museum is full of interesting objects. It con- tains almost everything from lock of Charles Guiteau's hair to models of the big battleships of the navy, but by far its most interesting feature. ac- cording to the officials in charge, is the stamp collection. Few visitors miss that sight. and many "hobbyists' spend hours boring over if.
 Uncle Sam as stamp collector is a most signal success. He not only has a complete set of his own stamps. but a complete collection from every other stamp issuing country in the civilized world as well. His collection is val ued by the department at $200,000 but stamp dealers say 1t would de mand figure many times that sum if placed on the open market for sale.
 The fact that Uncle, Sam's stamp collection is absolutely complete is a statement difficult to comprehend. even to those who have been collectors themselves. Most of those who were

desired anu t.ie number of large pearls is not sufficient imitation pearls of the exact size and color are often substi- tuted. Some of these limitations will deceive the eye of any but the most expert.
 It often happens that the largest pearls have the smallest holes drilled through them. for every grain that is taken from the pearl reduces 1t in weight. In such cases, however, the risk of the cord breaking Is increased owing to the slenderness of the thread and the sharp edges of the pearls cut ting through 1t quickly.
 Swinging pearls is never done with a needle. A needle is not yielding enough to pass through very small holes. and the doubling of it's diameter at the eye makes it's use impracticable. Therefore the end of the thread is sharpened to q very fine point, which is waxed stifly enough to be used ex- actly as needle would be.
 Ordinarily pearl stringing is me. chanicaily difficult and also requires taste and judgment. The pearls may have to be rearranged in order to i'm prove their general appearance. In the laying out of collarets especially q great deal of skill is required. In the first place. the collaret must fl exactly, This seems comparatively easy, but 1t Is not. A pattern is al- ways fitted beforehand. but it is rare ly the case that the result is satisfac- tory the first time. Some necks re Quire straight collars and othera slightly curved. The same care is giv- en to the fitting of a collaret as to the set of an expepsive gown. and 1t has to be tried on and changed and ad- justed as many times.
 Dividers are used to gauge the exact position in which the vertical diamond bars that support the strands of pearls should be placed. Endless care and judgment may be given to laying out the pattern for one of these baubles and getting the measurements abso. lutely exact. but when 1t comes to be fitted there is sure to be trouble. IL may be too tight at the bottom and too loose at the top. or perhaps the ends may not even meet at all.-Thad. deus s. Dayton in Chicago Record Herald.

 Whether death was accidental or with suicidal intention, this jury is unable to determine, but the position of the wound and the type of the re- volver made the accidental theory less probable
