A Specimen of Vardaman Ira

J. G.. Bennett, who assisted

nmns of the Jackson Evening

been convicted of one OF the

its editor alone was not equal to
the task Bennett, the slush
singer, was employed to help.
His pen reeked with vitupera

slime of falsehood and abuse and
wrote calumny that pervaded the
State with stencil rivaling that

USE TREES FOR cIsTERNs
How Inhabitants Of kordofan Pro-
vide Water for Their Use In
Dry Season.

In view of the many suggestions
made for the bringing down Of rain
it Is interesting to note that In the
Bezira district to the south Of Khar-
tum whenever drought is threatened
all the children are sent into the
fields and are made to clap their hands
and shout vigorously.
The idea is that rain will be brought
down, and the little boys and girls are
kept out in the open at this game until
the wished for result has been obtain
ed. This year there have been rain
storms in superabundance in the dis
trict, SO the children's intercession
has not been required, or perhaps the
abnormal rainfall is due to their Wig
orous action in the past.
The latest Soudan Times gives a
most Interesting account Of one OF
the means by which the inhabitants OF
Kordofan provide themselves with
copious water supply In that arid
