benefit of an alleged orphanage near
the site of ancient Ninevah at ST

he notified Dean c. r. A Pise that
they were fakirs of the worst sort
But Dean Pise thought possibly
they might be honest, and took nc
steps, but appointed a meeting with
them at II o'clock today. They did
not show up to get the rest of the
collection, which was turned in on

THE RIVER JORDAN
In Which Tens of Thousands of Bap-
tisms Take Place Every Year.

! In Which Tens OF Thousands OF Bap-
tisms Take Place Every Year.
The river Jordan is not navigable,
writes Frank J. Carpenter. 1t has
no harbors, no boats and no cities
/ or villages of any account along its
whole course. 1t has numerous fOrds,
but no bridges of any size. There
is a wooden bridge about six miles
above the Dead sea. 1t is a toll
bridge, with fords above and below
it. The people use the bridge only
when the river is high. The water
catches the foundations of the
mountains. 1t changes in color from
season to season, and in the spring
it spreads out in floods over the val
ley.
The spot at which Christ is said
to have been baptized by John is
about three miles from the Dead
sea, where the water at ordinary
times is four or five feet deep. 1t
is the principal place of pilgrimageB
to the Jordan, and is the scene of
tens of thousands of baptisms year.
The chief time for baptisms is East
err, when the Russians come by the
thousands and when other members
of the Greek church unite with them
in great caravan which comes here
and camps.
At that time the water is blest
by the high priests of the church,
and there are many priests TO bap-
tie the faithful. The women and
men dress in white garments and 60
into the water together. They change
their garments on the shore. The
garments they wear in the water
are usually shrouds, which they have
brought from home with them for
this purpose, and which they intend
to take back to be used at their
burialS

DULUTH, Minn.-Amid the calls
of a pack of hungry wolves which
were attracted by the cries of her
4-year-old daughter, Mrs. Walter
Darrah, who alleges she was desert
ed by her husband, gave birth SIX
DAYS ago to a baby in partially
roofless shack near Pelican lake,
this county. Today she and her two
infants were found surrounded by
the most appalling conditions.
For a week previous to the birth
of the child Mrs. Darrah had been
critically i'll, and only the services
of the 4-year-old child were extend
ed to her during that and the en-
suing periods, and up to today when
hunters seeking wolf pelts came to
the shack containing the woman and
her children.
The weather had been extremely
cold. There had been no food and
no fire in the cabin in the past week,
and mother and children were on
the point of starvation. The little
girl had started bare-footed, TO a
spring for water when found. Du-
luth authorities have taken charge
of the family.

HOKE TO HOWELL,
THE TRUTH OF SMTTH-HOWELII
TALK AT SENATOR STEVE
CLAWS FUNERAL.
BROKE LONG SILENCE FIRST TIME

Discussed Succession at the Oper
Grave of the Dead Man. What
the Governor Elect Said to His
Former Opponent and the Lat.
ter's Reply.
ATLANTA Sometime ago, in fact
just after the funeral of the late
Senator A. S. Clay, a story was sent
out from here regarding a purported
conversation between Governor-elect
Hoke Smith and Clark Howell, editor
of the Constitution, when they met
at the funeral obsequies.
This story, which was printed as
an interesting bit of rumOr, was to
the effect that Governor Smith had
told Mr.. Howell that if Governor
Brown would appoint the editor as
United States senator that such ac-
ton would meet the approval of Mr.,
Smith and his followers, and that
lhey would in no way oppose him
Tor the permanent appointment
Recently an Atlanta newspaper
man asked Mr. Howell regarding
this story Editor Howell said that
he had nothing further to say along
this line except that at Senator
CIay's funeral in Marietta Governor
Smith called him aside to express an
appreciation of the attitude of the
Constitution in not joining in what
he termed the ugly personal cam
paign' waged against him Editor
Howell went on to say that the con
Versation between himself and Gov
ernor Smith was about as follows:
I wish to tell you said Mr.
Smith, that your treatment of me
in this matter has been o. a kind
that | do not know that / had a
right to expect
I have done nothing for you
that I would not have done for any
man in the state, said l.
You have been fair and square
with me, and, as man, l want you
to know that l appreciate it.
I have never hit a man below
the belt in my life | replied
No, you never have, so far as
/ know, said he-and that ended
the conversation.
Did Mr. Smith tell you, as quoted,
that he and his friends would sup
port you for the senate if Governor
Brown would appoint you to fill SEN
ator Clay's vacancy"
Better ask Mr.. Smith about that"
said Mr.. Howell, as whatever he
said on the subject was said in per-
sonal conversation, and, | presume,
not for publication"
Il do not mind saying, however,
that | replied that no political Office
would ever tempt me to again depart
from the routine of newspaper work
and that under no circumstances
would | figure for that or any other
Office
That's all there is in the story,
and as for my not having engaged in
a crusade against Mr. Smiths moral
character as an incident to political
warfare he owes me nothing what
soever, for, as l told him, | did no
more for him than | would do for
any other man in the state similarly
situated"

FRAUD IN MAHOGANY TRADE
Much Wood Sold Under That Name

Colombia.

"Old mahogany has been for
many years almost a synonym for

in business OF public edifces wher-
ever this regal wood has been DOM
inant feature Of finish and furniture.
1t has frequently carried as far So
cially as a coat Of arms or an octave
genealogy; but now the distressing
intelligence is sent forth by the gov
eminent scientists that what is rep
resented to be mahogany is in a ma
jority of cases really something else,
because the demand for it, like that
for Mocha and Java coffee, is largely
in excess of the supply. Thus there
are annually used in the United
States about 100000 feet of so
called mahogany, while the annual
cut is only $4,000, 900, and we can
hardly get all Of that. The masque-
rade wood is known to the trade as
Colombian mahogany because it
comes from Colombia and in grain
and color resembles the simon-pure
to an extent that is calculated to de-
ceive all but the extremely expert,
though there is as little relationship
between them as between oak and
maple. What is worse, the substi-
tute is not only not mahogany, but
actually belongs to the monkey pod
family of woods. Could anything

Bell That Rings as Each Yard Of

A little bell under the edge of the
counter rang sharply ~ times as the
clerk measured off a dozen yards of
lace for a waiting customer.
"People think they're getting full

"There's nothing like it for making
a grouchy customer feel satisfied.
They don't seem to realize that ev-
erything's measured after us, and
that we get called down for even an
inch short measure just as much
as for giving an inch over, for it
means that we haven't been careful,
