so d great capital and trade center
 The name of Bokhara is well known, yet it has been visited by but few. Fifty years ago it was as impregnable as Lhasa. and of the few travellers who penetrated within it's walls fewer still ever came out again.
 'Bokhara is completely surrounded by a wall and l had to enter by one Of the eleven gates. If by chance I had been benighted l should have had to stay outside or at least leave my caravan behind and enter by the tiny door beside the main gate. through which a man can literally only just squeeze once inside the walls the whole pageant of the east burst on me intense light and shade. brilliant col ors, the richness of the great men and the cleanliness of the mosques and the filth of the streets, the aching glare of the cloudless sky and the cool shade of the deep baZars. Nowhere in the world. l claim. can such perfect pic ture of the unspoiled. unregenerated east be seen as in Bokhara. It is as if a chapter of the Arabian Nights had been put upon a stage. Here one looks down through a long vista of years and sees the east as it was long before the west existed.
 Let us stand a minute beside the pool This is the very heart of the city and is situated in a square sur rounded by giant madresas and q mot ley crowd of booths and shops. Here at midday the people of BOkhara congo gate to pray in the mosques near by and to take a meal on the terraces that surround the pool. Men of every east ern race assemble here. The pool it. self is nothing but large stone reservoir of filthy water. Under . brilliant sky and shadowed by breat trees it makes fitting foreground to the gas costumes of the men. the dark bazars and the madresas piled up be- hind. When l saw men on the steps Of the tank washing themselves in the water I felt surprised. to say the least But when further along l noticed men filling their water skins from the same supply l realized that east is really very far from west The terrible deeds that once made BOkhara a by word are now prohibited by the Rus  sian government. Prisoners are not permitted. for instance. tO be dragged through the streets by galloping horses. Nor are they thrown from the top of the high tower called the Minar Katan. This was the usual punish ment meted out to evil-doers in the old days Watched by thousands of spectators. the poor wretches were flung from that giddy height on to the fagstones beneath. Bokhara has many chambers of horrors unwholesome for western eyes to see and the descrip- ton Of which would certainly be unfit for publication. Perhaps the most horrible of these is pit where prison CTS were tortured by vermin. which were so numerous and ravenous that in the absence of human prey they were fed on chunks of raw meat Professor D. Carruthers in Wide World Magazine.

than one half acre from which to Sc
lsct his corn for the contest.
Twelve ears are required in this
exhibit. The contest is to be prelimi-
nary to the State Contest and by hav-
ing twelve ears we can get Mr.. Jor-
dan to select the best ten and in this
way help those who care to enter the
latter contest. Last year one boy Sc
cured prizes to the value Of $40.
We have no hopes Of doing this well
but we would like to see this divided
up some this year and would be
pleased to have some Bates county
