At the same moment old whiskers

switched on the reading-lamp and
reached for magazine.
I'm on, SIR whispered jenkins,
as joined him and we stepped aside.
Hadn't 1 better ring up the janitor
on my house 'phone?"
"By Jove, the very thing" agreed.
For he'll know where this chap be-
longs. A flyer, tell him, # he gets a

Jenkins disappeared. The jolly old
barnacle had discarded his cigarette
and was critically selecting a cigar
from my humidor.

comfortably with two chairs and light
ing up.

perching on the corner of a chair.

scowling at me; but If you're not
sleepy, listen to this joke here-tt's a
chestnut but it's Internally good
l never did know what the joke
was. for l was listening for other
sounds as he read. Suddenly l heard
a whistle far down in the street; and

Then came the quiyering rhythm OF
the elevator rapidly ascending, and
while the anecdote was still being
droned out between chuckles, 1 slipped
out again into the hall and rejoined
Jenkins.
"Janitor says there's no such tenant

the Turks and Arabs. FANNY Ali says
that Sidi Ahmed al Cherf al Sennous-
81, commander in chief of the Sennous-
81, is actually on the way to the seat
of war, having declared jehad, or
holy war, against the Italians. He is
at the head Of large army Of fanat-
ical Mohammedans, 1t is stated. and
the correspondent writes that If this Is
actually true the situation Of the ltal-
ian forces is indeed grave.
The Sennoussi, Mr.. johnson says.
are the Puritans Of the Mohammedan
faith and are religious fanatics to Il
man. The sect was founded about
1885 by an Arab named 81 Mohammed
Ben Stall Ben Sennoussi. who left his
home in Algeria because of difficulties
in his own family. After wandering
over the whole of northern Africa this
hitherto unknown Arab entered mon
astery in Cairo from which he was
later expelled because of his puritan
ical beliefs. He took refuge in the
holy city Of Mecca, but In 1S43 he was
again forced to fee because of his re-
ligious beliefs.
Soon after this expulsion the sheik
began founding schools and monster
les, where his beliefs were taught and
proselytes flocked to him. At the
present time the monasteries and
schools Of the Sennoussi are scattered
thickly over the hinterland Of Tripoli
and all Of northern Africa.
Puritans of North Africa.
The Sennoussi. while they have been
given the sobriquet Of THE Puritans
Of North Africa" are practical. They
dig wells. establish schools and col
leges, and the basis of their belief Is
the publication of Mohammedanism
They never dance. never sing, never
smoke or take snuff and never even
drink coffee OF course the use Of
wines or liquors is unknown among
them.
The founder of the order has been
succeeded by another cherif or COM
mander In chief, and the order today
embraces unknown millions Of follow
ers, scattered over north Africa, India,
China, Persia, Arabia and wherever
the Mohammedan faith exists.
Up to the present time the Sennoussi
have not been aggressive. though for
the past twenty-five years it has been
known that they were collecting vast
stores Of arms and ammunition in un-
known recesses Of the great desert
that fringes northern Africa. Their
present headquarters is in the great
oasis Of Kouffra, in the Libyan desert.
No white man has ever succeeded in
reaching this mysterious spot. though
many have died in attempting to find
It.

AN EMPERoR's PHILOSOPHY.

To be strong in sorrow, not
wishing for that which is I'M
attainable or worthless; content
with each day as it comes. seek
ing for the good in everything
and enjoying nature and man
kind as it is. finding sOlace in
one happy hour for thousand
bitter ones and always giving
the best that Is in one. even
though no thanks are received
who learneth that lesson is hap
py, free and proud, and his life
will be beautiful one. But
he who mistrusts only wrongs
others and harms himself. 1t is
our duty to consider every one
good until the contrary is proved.
The world is so large. and we
are so small. Everything can
not possibly revolve around our
selves. If something Injuries us
or causes us pain. who knows
but what it is necessary for the
good of the whole creation?
The great, wise will of the al
mighty and omnipotent Creator
manifests itself in everything,
animate or inanimate, in this
world. We petty human beings
lack only the wisdom to compre-
bend 1t. AS everything Is, so
should 1t be in this world, and.
no matter how 1t is, 1t is always
good in the eyes Of the Creator.
