Bile and ARABIAN Nights"


Bile and Arabian Nights"
The best books on the east, as every
one knows, are the Bible and the Ara
bian Nights" and yet l found most
travellers We're saturating themselves
with snippity descriptions of monu-
ments and places, with tabloids of his
tory, with technical paragraphs on ar
chitecture and the ethnic religions,
with figures about the height of this
and the length of that or condensed
statistics of exports and imports and
the tonnage through the Suez canal
and dates about the Pharaohs and the
Mughals. No wonder they see nothing
know nothing, enjoy nothing and come
home bringing few expletives, adjec-
tives and photographs which can be
had for small price in either New
York or London.
The first thing to do in going to the
east is to turn your education out on
your desk so that you can get at the
bottom of it, and there you will find
the Bible and the arabian Nights"
and the odyssey" and "Iliad" and
Virgil" and "Herodotus' and "Xeno-
phon," and you will realize what n
fool you were not to have devoted
more time to them when you We're
asked to do so. Guide books can get
you to the east, but they do not get
you inside. 1t is temperament. not
trains. that counts.-Price Collier In

The question OF recognition of the

retire him as a naval constructor

discussed.

STAND IN COLD.
The ceremony was simple in the ex-
treme and was conducted in the pres
ence of throngs that took up every
inch of space within the church edifice
and overflowed into the streets. Hun
dreds stood with barred heads in the
chill winter wind during the progress
of the service.
PLANNED TIE CEMETERY.
The body was laid to rest in Maple
wood cemetery which Senator EllIins
and former Senator Davis, 81 years
ago had planned and laid out There
were brief rites at the grave in charge
of the local lodge OF Masons.
GUARD AGAINST GHOULs.
Most elaborate precautions have
been taken to guard against the pos
sible operations of ghouls. The coffin
is bronze and the plates are 3 inches
thick, and are enclosed in an outer
case OF armor plate steel. This was
lowered into the grave, which had been
lined with masonry and which will be
hermetically sealed.
THOUSANDS At GRAVE.
Several thousand persons stood un-
covered near the open grave until the
impressive ceremony was ended a
special train took hundreds from the
town to the cemetery and the train
on which the Washington mourners
had come was likewise sidetracked
nearby. Immediately after the inter

other distinguished members of the
party returned on it to the national
capital.
