Encourage Indian Art.

Mrs. James w. Pinchot. mother of
Clifford Pinchot. formerly United
States forester, is leading a move
ment to interest American women in
the articles of adornment and utility
made by Indians. She advises the
women to buy bags, caps and belts
made of silk, beads and feathers by
the aborigines. Mrs. Pinchot began
interesting her friends in the handi-
work of Indian women when she
started to collect rare samples of
needle and bead work made by In
dians in the west. She has studied
much about the textile industries of
the American redskin. and examples
of lace collected by her have been
placed in the national museum, where
they attract the attention of women
visitors more quickly than almost
anything else displayed.

HIS MEMORY is RESTORED
Then Husband of Pennsylvania Girl
Recalls He Has Wife and Fam
lily In Scotland.

Seattle, Wash.-One of the most re-
markable cases of forgotten identity
was disclosed in Pierce county when
Jane Patterson Scott began divorce
proceedings against George Scott. The
young woman, whose home was in AL
legheny, Pa, came west n year ago.
She met Scott. a wealthy lumber man
ufacturer, in Vancouver, B. c.. and
married him. Later he became i'll.
She nursed him back to health only to
have him remember suddenly that he
was married SO years ago in Scotland
and that he had a wife and children
there.
He declares his name is Scott, the
complaint says, but cannot explain
how he came to forget his first wife
so long a period. He does not recall
any fall or illness that would have
tended to impair his memory. His sec
ond wife was obdurate that there was
nothing for them to do but to separate
and she would secure a divorce.
Meantime Mr.. Scott will return to
Scotland and institute search for his
wife and children. The agreement
with the second wife is that If he finds
them he will atone for his long alb
sence by settling in his native land;
II he is unsuccessful In his search he
will return and will again marry his
second wife.

1t is true that the road is notably

regime at Constantinople.
1t used to be that Ibrahim Pasha,
the great Kurdish shiek, had a name
higher than the governments herea-
bouts. He terrorized the whole coun-
try, destroying entire villages at his
pleasure. OF course. he paid back
sheesh to Abdul Hamid, who winked
at his highwaymanry. From all that
I can learn. Ibrahim Pasha played a
fairer game than the sultan. He had
thirty thousand men under his COM
mand, and ruled them with an iron
hand. The Young Turks properly de-
cided that there could be but one pow
er in civilized government. SO they
broke Ibrahim Pasha's sway by meas
ures more severe than any he ever
adopted. He was slain, his sons i'm
prisoned and his family practically ex-
tirpated, while the villages of many of
his followers were destroyed, with the
rapine and cruelty for which the Turk

An American Habit-An Asiatie In
dustry.
That there should be direct rela-
tionship between the American habit
of chewing tobacco and the prosperity
of thousands of natives in Asia Minor,
Syria and Mesopotamia, is one of the
many paradoxes of this world that is
daily growing smaller. Chewing tobac-
CO requires licorice, and licorice grows

poor livelihood by gathering the root.
which they sell to the agents of the
McAndrews, Forbes company, a branch
of the American Tobacco company, at
the rate of one cent for two and
three-quarters pounds. This company

The Dragon Tree.

main and among the most interesting
are the dragon trees, a specimen of
which may be seen pictured in this
column.
This tree is more than century
old, and some of greater age, still
standing, are much larger. A tree of
this same species recently blew down
in the island of Teneriffe and scien-
lists have estimated that its growth
began before the birth of Christ. In
circumference, age and quantity of
timber the dragon trees rival many
of the great redwoods of California,
and their huge bulbs of spreading
branches often make them appear
much larger. They are the products
of tropical regions where heat and
moisture contribute to their growth.

GIANT TREE OF THE TROPICS
Product of Madeira Island Rivals
Americas Great Redwoods

Lisbon.-When Madeira island is
mentioned, people usually associate
with it the name of the wine which
was made from its luscious grapes, be-
fore the blight practically destroyed
the vines. They have given little, il
any, thought to the real meaning or
derivation of the word Madeira.
The Portuguese were the first of the
white race to colonize the picturesque
island northwest of Africa, and the pi-
oneers found the mountains and val
leys covered with forests of giant
trees. So pronounced was this fea-
ture that they gave the island the
name of Madeira, which means timber

number one that he cannot pull to-
gether with his fellows. So there are
many parties and organizations among
them. since the Revolution. Some are
frankly aimed at the overthrow of
Turkish power. Others take the side
of the Turks. A vigorous socialistic
propaganda is in full swing here, with
apparently all extravagances that
ever accompany socialism. Without
discrimination, what is new is adopted.
So the Armenians in this region have
gone in for trades unionism, and they
exult in their power. By exhorbitant
demands, they have closed up many
places of business permanently. Ten
baker shops were put out of business
here recently within single week.
The lack Of loyalty to one another
and to their leaders, and their pro-
benefactors to say, recently: abdul
Hamid made great mistake with the
Armenians. Instead of massacring
them periodically. he should have CIV
en- them their independence thirty
years ago. Then they would have de-
stroyed one another by this time"
Many of the Armenians have well
coined the chance to go into the army.
This is the only place I have found
where the new conscription laws do
not create opposition. 1 saw large
detachment of Christian recruits be-
ing sent of to Aleppo and Damascus.
and it was not at all the melancholy
occasion l have witnessed elsewhere.
Perhaps the opportunity to get away
from this remote place reconciled some
some of the conscripts to their fate.
A Land of Ruins.
Ruins, ruins, ruins. are the charac-
teristic of the hard journey between
this city and Aleppo. Even the soil,
SO rich in possibilities. is in state Of
ruin. The traveller grows Indifferent
to ruins that would make the fortune
of any city in Europe. 1t is necessary
to ride in arabas, which are small
spring wagons. opening at the sides.
and covered like a prairie schooner.
Without baggage, or If content to go
at an araba's pace. one may ride
horseback. The nights are spent in
khans, and these afford no accommo-
dation except the shelter of a bare
room. without bed. table or chair. The

foreigner, II he arrives early enough,
can generally secure a room to him
self, such as 1t is, and not reckoning
the ever-present vermin.
Some of the roads are fair; some
stretches are worse than the worst
America knows. Most of the traffic
is by donkey and camel caravans, and
these patient beasts, with their deep
sounding and musical bells, bearing
great loads of hemp and grain, may
be passed at all hours of the day and
night They travel in companies, for
mutual protection. Foreigners are ex-
pected. to have an escort of one or
more zeptiehs, or soldiers, but these
unkempt fellows are nuisance. and
mere petty grafters. No American
would count much on the protection
of one of them. A zeptieh of mine
dropped his rifle in the road and a
wagon ran over it, He wanted me to
buy him a new one.
One of the most picturesque of the
ruins on the way here is at Membij,
the old Bembigie, from which bomba-
zine cloth takes its name. The Ro-
mans called the city Heriopolis. The
abundant memorials of ancient great
ness are now used to make houses and
fences; columns, cornices, capitals, in
scriptions and great cut blocks of
marble are all employed in the miser-
able buildings of the present resi-
dents. The reason for the fences, in
the fenceless east, is that the govern
ment has settled a colony of Moslem
Circassians here, and they represent
type of European ways, as contrast
ed with Oriental.
Highwaymen Out Of Work.
This region in the past has been
famous for its lawlessness. Here it
was that David Fraser London jour
nalist, was shot by an Arab, short
time ago. Everybody goes armed,
and good part of the foreigners
protection is the display of his mod
ern weapons. The Arabs at the cross

in the Edenic fashion. This was espe-
cially embarrassing in the case OF
