Tomb of Omar khaHXana.

the poets prophecy concerning his
tomb-that it would be in a place
where the north wind would scatter
roses over it's not literally true. the

roses as almost ito make one in love

GUARDSMEN NOT
CALLED OUT YET

Colonel w. T. Channon of the Illi-

that nothing had been received by
him which would indicate that any
portion of the guard is to be called
out to go to Mexico. There was a
rumOr yesterday from Springfield
that 4 portion of the guard was to
be assigned to the Mexican frontier
and that Governor Deneen had been
asked to have them prepared for
nine months service. 1t is possible
that the rumor had its incipiency in
a request for troops to go to the
frontier for the annual week of en-
campment. From time to time GER
4 tain of the state regiments are sent
+ to camp away from the regular state
encampment. Now is the time for
the assignment of the guard to its
camp.

from his girdle, he opened the door OF
the cab and said:
"Give me your money and your furs
or I will kill you"
And do you give me your soul,
