our Bibles to any one. and as for your
korans, can buy them blythe ton in
New York or. London The Moslems
here are noted for their hatred of Chris
tians. and one OF the bloodiest massacres
of modern times occurred in Damascus
about fifty years ago. The people are no
better today. and they are almost as ig-
norant as they were then. The chief
books sold are religious. There are also
some story books and copies of the Ara
bian Nights" either In parts or as a
whole.
During our trip through the hazaars
we find the Mohammedan stomach every
where in evidence. These people like good
food. and they eat, it seems to me, from
morning till night. Peddlers carrying
candy. lemonade and cakes march through
the streets crying their wares; bread
men sit on the sidewalks, and there are
shops which sell nothing but pretzels. The
most common bread is a fiat, round cake
as thick as the buckwheats which we use
for breakfast, and foot or more in diam
eter These cakes are white or brown in
color. They are so pliable that they can be
doubled up without breaking. They are
often used to pick the meats out of a
stew. The orientals do not use forks for
eating, and they claim that their own
hands are much cleaner. They have a
saying that every one knows whether he
has washed his own hands but no one
knows who washed the forks" Another
kind of bread is like gigantic shoe sole
without the heel, and another is round
biscuit about an inch thick.
But here comes a man selling candy.
Take a bite of it and your mouth will
flow water like the rivers which feed this
city and make fertile it's plains. Damas-
Gus is noted for it's sweeameats, and it's
candies are shipped far and wide over the
world. The sweets are sold in the bazaars,
some of the merchants having large shops.
There is one dear old turbaned sheili
who has cell in the candy bazaar, where
you can buy nuts and fruits fit for the
queen of the fairies. His sugared
almonds are the JOY of the tourist. and
his Turkish delight, soft. sweet. trans
parent paste. with pistachios and other
small nuts scattered through it. is dish
for the gods.
Stop a moment and listen to the cries
of the peddlers. ShammaS will inter-
pref them for us. Here is a man selling
bread hot from the oven. He yells:
"Ya rezzak." or, God send me a Gus

new state. While there has been no
organized opposition, the friends Of
the fundamental law have worked
energetically to secure it's adoption
by an overwhelming vote. This
seems assured on the eve of election
and the majority is expected to run
anywhere from 10000 to $4,000 votes
for the constitution. Thei usual roor-
backs are being circulated by the
enemies of statehood, for that is the
issue. To vote down the constitution
tomorrow would blast the territory's
fond hopes of self-government for
years to come, it is believed. The
opponents foolishly charge that bal
lots against the constitution have
been suppressed but this charge is
branded by the constitution advocates
as campaign lie, to be expected on
the eve of the election. The en-
abling act expressly provides that an
equal number of ballots for and
against the constitution shall be
printed.

in refusing to grant a charter of aft

Miners with all the rights and privil

Workers and threatening to withdraw
from the American federation and
form a close alliance with the west
ern miners.
The delegates are determined that
the American Federation of Labor
shall grant a charter to the Western
Federation of Miners, but the Ameri-
can Federation wishes to restrict the
power of the Western Federation SO
as not to allow it to have Jurisdiction
over the engineers and others who
work in the mines.
