ON EGYPT'S FAMOUS RIVER
Sailing on It's Placid Waters Rowers
Weirdly Chant as They Tug
at Their oars.

AS we sat on deck, beneath the min
arets Of the mosque, the skies slowly
turned from orange to lilac and purple
of night, throwing a strange pink light
over the citys buildings, Ariche Bell
writes in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The minosa trees and date palms be-
came black and great white cranes,
seemingly knowing that their wings
had an appropriate background, cir
cled over our heads, over the deep
azure river and over the many white
sailed dehabeahs that were floating
along in the breezeless night, propelled
by rowers who were chanting weirdly
as they tugged at the oars.
Dimly, we could see the black draped
figures OF numberless women approach
the rivers brink and we knew that the
splashes in the water were caused by
the dropping Of their heavy jugs, which
they twirl around till they are filled,
after which they raise them laborious-
ly to their heads and then skip up the
banks and disappear in the darkness
Of the night.
The sounds of the city ceased and all
was quiet. All but the plaintiye lay of
a piper who must have been some
where not far off on the bank of the
river. 1t seemed that he was playing
the love song of Larbi of Benz Mora.
1t was monotonous and drowsy and in
voked sleep. In the morning before
dawn | heard the boys pulling the
stake near my window. | had fallen
asleep to native music and now | was
awakened by their song. As we start
ed up the river, the clarion call Of the
muezzin rang out from the minaret.
For good Mohammedans it meant that
a new day had begun-but for infidel
Americans, there were several addi-
tional hours Of sleep.

BLEASE'S ADVICE
IS Being HEEUED

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 23.--Not more
than six men are believed to have been
implicated in the lynching of John
Fielder, a negro, who was taken from
the city Jail at Norway near here, and
shot to death Friday night. The mo-
tive that led to the lynching is thus
far a mystery. The only crime
charged against the negro was obtain
ing goods under false pretenses, and
his employers had settled the case be-
fore the tragedy.
Investigation by Magistrate Tyler
of Norway. showed the tracks of only
two buggies, that led from the road
to the scene where the negros body,
with his hands tied, and guarded by
an ownerless black dog, was found.
This has led the authorities to believe
that the mob was a small one.
The negro was shot through the
head and then beat until his head was
crushed, fragments of the butt of a
revolver used in the assault being
found near the negro's body
