One of the most pathetic figures

Mrs. Mcmahon is still bride. she

When Mrs. Mcmahon appeared In

1t is true that the road is notably

1t used to be that Ibrahim Pasha,
the great Kurdish shiek, had 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
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 a 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

is noted.

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 a 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 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 Metropolis. The
abundant memorials Of ancient great

fences; columns, cornices, capitals, in
scriptions and great cut blocks OF
marble are all employed in the miser-
able buildings of the present resi-
