TRUE TYPE OF IsHMAELITE
Arabs subslst on the Produce Of Their
Herds and Are Constantly
Wandering.

Arabs are true Ishmaelites; their
life is constant wandering. They
live entirely on the produce of their
herds. Their tents are quickly
taken down or put up, and easy Of
transport. They are made of cancels
hair, loosely woven, supported on
poles or long guy-ropes. They pro-
tect the occupants from the hot sun,
but not from the rain, and in winter
the encampments are uncomfortable
places. The interior is crowded with
all the belongings Of these shepherd
warriors-camel-saddles and gaudy
saddle-bags, rifles and ammunition,
hunting dogs, and falcons. The
women occupy one half, the men use
the other, partitioned off by bright
ly colored curtain. The whole of
the front of the tent being open
there is no privacy. The average
tent measures 20 yards by six. The
chief of the tribe, however, owns
many tents, and he has for his own
use one giant structure, sometimes
spread over a length Of Sc yards. In
his other. tents the chief keeps his
numerous wives, who have certain
proportion of their masters flocks
and herds to look after. Having
separate tent for each wife, he thus
does away with all chance of do
nestle quarrels.

CAT MADE THE HIT.

John T. McCutcheon gave his first
woman's club speech at the Klio

Being naturally a shy man, it took
a great deal of persuasion and
urging to secure his consent, but
finally he promised to give talk
and illustrate it with cartoons.
Now, the Klio club owned a great
pet, a large, majestic black cat,
Thomas Stroller by name. Each
meeting the cat was dressed in a
large pink bow and allowed to re-
main in the room with the members
Of the club.
Mr.. McCutcheon had given his
talk. The cartoons he had drawn he
had thrown on the floor. One rest

LIFE IN THE CANAL ZONE
Community Which Is Said TO Be the
Best Behaved Construction
Camp on Record.

The canal zone makes a COM
munity of about seven thousand
Americans, men, women and chill
dren-4,500 men on canal work
925 on the Panama railroad-1, 500
women-1,5 500 children-divided
among the handful of little villages,
each of which hes its individual So
cial and sport activities; and all of
them combine periodically in
united effort, social, dramatic, mu-
steal or even political.
And it is the best behaved con-
struction camp on record. There is
very little trouble; the rough ele-
ment appears to be but small fac
tor and well under the control of the
smartly turned out, competent po-
lice force.
AS for the work, the Americans
have done twice as much in their
six years, the first two of which were
devoted to cleaning up, as
the French did in their
about sixteen, though under the
circumstances the French did
marvelously well. AS for
actual progress-there is a rapidity
of execution in these days, in happy
and striking contrast to the chaos
and scrambling and haggling which
marked the years when the canal
was a political football before Theo-
dore Roosevelt put the army on the
job.-Caspar Whitney, in Golfers.
