GiIlhooIey of Anadir

The ruler of Agadir is Kaid Gilluli
a chieftain only 25 years old, who lives
in curious little fortified town or
saints tomb called Dar-Gilluli, which
is stationed about half way between
Mogodor ard Agadir. Gilluli or Gilhoo
ley claims to be a countryman Of
mine, descendant from an Irish lad
who was carried off from the town of
Baltimore some hundreds of years age
by Algerian corsairs and afterward
sold as a slave to the Moors. The
only proofs which he can adduce in
support of his claim to Irish descent
are a green turban and a pugnacious
disposition. He has been constantly
on the rampage in the Atlas mountains
for the last five years and may at
any moment be on the warpath against
the Germans. Some people have sug.
gested that he turned me out because.
as l hail from the Black North. he
suspected me of being an Orangeman.

heart in the right place could not bear

shifted James.
No, Genevieve does not throw the
coffee pot at him. She has been train
ed by generations of domestic women
and by circle of domesticated
friends to believe that man who
pays the bills and stays home nights
is the ideal husband 1t would be
wrong to crack perfectly good ideal

But some day when James inquiries
who it was bowed to her on the street

Clock Seems to Be Unpopular.

The Dublin general post office
clock seems to find little favor in the
eyes of Dublin citizens. The other
morning man took off his boots and
deliberately threw them at big plate
glass window so as to smash the
clock. When asked by the magistrate
at the police court as to why he did
it, accused said it was because he
could not tolerate the expression or
the face of the clock" He was re
manded, and directions were given to
the prison doctor to inquire as to his
mental condition. The broken window
was repaired, but it was not allowed
to remain long intact. Late on the
same night it was again broken, this
time by a newsboy This makes the
fourth time the windows of the G. P
o. have been broken within a fort
night.

Genevieve was ever such a belle be-

gled at her about the ideal married
life. A happy little home and dear
little wife was his text. No scouting
about town for him when he had such
a sweet girl as Genevieve waiting at
home for him. And Genevieve looked
upon her friends husbands who stay
ed out to lodge meetings and asked
her friends themselves how about it,
and they all said with one voice,
"Genevieve, there's nothing so calcu-

really, truly domestic husband"
