 Magazine.
 Abd-er-Rahman wore heavy scowi that boded i'll for someone, and hie fingers caressed his raw-hide koorbat as he watched the camels being laden. When all was ready to start he called out four names, and four dejected- looking Arabs answered shamefacedly to the summons. The Emir spoke to them dispassionately. as one might speak to ones dog. and then. tossing his koorbag to the nearest of the four culprits. he bade him lay on dozen of the best. whilst he watched and criticized each strike with grim earn estness. It was not a pleasant sight to watch, and I thought 1t policy to turn aside; but the rest of the cara van thoroughly enjoyed the exhibi- ton. and greeted each well-laid blow with approval. When the punishment was completed each of the culprits in turn came forward and kissed the Emir's feet. thanking him for his mercy and calling Allah to witness that they were his dogs to do, with as he wished. From their subsequent conduct I have no reason to believe that they did not mean every word they said. though at tho time I was .skepticaI It is not every day that one learns such an object-lesson in humility and feudai service.

 "A the portentous news that Richard A Strauss Is going to compose the music of a ballet. Many things have happened to the dance in recent years. It has gone on, but joy has not always been unconfined. Loie Fuller illuminated II with changing lights and waved her gauzy draperies in imitation of the butterfly, so that an entirely new species of dance spectacle was brought before the enrap- tured public gaze and even Paris was en- thralled.
 Isadora Duncan, however. found an- other method of investing the dance with new charms. She abolished the antiquated tights, the satin slippers the rigid toe, t--e umbrella skirts and almost everything else except herself. A little fiimsy drap- cry interposed itself in a diaphanous pre- tense of modesty between the new dancer and the astonished public. Miss Duncan, eager to give to her airy nothings local habitation and a name, proceeded to dance nocturnes and ballades of Chopin and other compositions not designed for terp- sichorean uses, and finally with the aid of Walter Damrosch she undulatcd and ieaped through the whole of Beethovens seventh symphony.
 Fortunately for the dance, Pavlowa and Mordkine came to these hospitable shores and restored such classics as "Coppelia' to their pristine place in the public es- teem. But one element of delight in such pallets is the old fashioned dance music which such composer az. Delibes hiled

WHERE is TREASURE BOX?

Deadwood, S. D., May 29.-When
Samuel Bennett, former resident OF
Lead, died a short time ago in Gold
field, New, he left a will bequeath-
ing $1,000 to churches and friends
in this section. No money was found
and it was thought that the estate
was worthless.
Now it develops that he was sus-
picious of banks and had hid his
wealth in a tin box on the outskirts
of Goldtield. This box contains 10
shares of Homestake stock, which is
now worth more than $50 per share,
and which he purchased years ago
at $40 per share, and many dividend
checks which he never cashed.
A friend in Goldfeld is said to
know the location of this box, and
he is now being sought to uncover it
and have the estate distributed to
the beneficiaries here.

Washington, May $50 far as a
direct appeal to the voters is con-
cerned, Roosevelt's complete victory
in New Jersey yesterday has brought
to a close the bitter fight in which
he, President Taft and Senator La
Toilette have been engaged for the
last three months.
LaFollette will speak. in South Da-
kota before the primary, which will
be held June 4, but, otherwise, the
campaign in that state and the state
conventions in Arizona and Ohio will
not engage the personal activity of
any of the candidates.
Senator Dixon, the campaign man
ager for Roosevelt, returned from
New York today and made the pre-
diction that Roosevelt would have
more than 500 delegates on the first
ballot in the Chicago convention, ex-
elusive of the contested delegates
Included in this number. he said
would be more than 80 from New
York state.
Congressman Mckinley, the Taft
manager. asserted that the presi-
dents actual strength at present was
574 delegates, exclusive of the dele
gates at large from Ohio or Texas.
He was emphatic in his prediction
of the nomination of Taft on the
first ballot.
The Washington headquarters of
all the republican candidates will
close this week. and the managers
and their assistants will establish
themselves in Chicago Monday for
the opening of the battle before the
national convention.
The Taft attorneys-Former Sen
ator Dick of Ohio and Fred C. Bryan
of Washington-have completed the
defense in all cases where the Roose-
welt forces are contesting delegates;
and it is understood that all the evil
dence and briefs will be filed with
Secretary Hayward of the national
committee before night.

Newark, N. j., May 29.-Roosevelt
on the republican side and Wilson on
the democratic side were overwhelm-
ingly winners in yesterdays primar-
les in New Jersey, according 10 the
returns at hand this morning which
are nearly complete.
The Roosevelt victory was a clear
sweep, and the former president ap-
parently will have every one of the
states % delegates to the Chicago
convention. In the preference vote,
his plurality over Taft is fully 1O,-
600. In some districts he received
ten votes to every one cast for the
president.
Governor Wilson lost only four out
of 2S delegates and these were elect
ed from Essex county, which is a
stronghold of the anti-Wilson ma
chine headed by Former Senator
Smith and where the governor had
no hope of winning. The Wilson
vote was a staggering blow to the
ants, being in the ratio of about g
to /. Some districts went for the
governor by as much as 20 to |.
President Taft had small plurali-
ties in 4 of the 21 counties. He
showed his greatest strength in the
farming districts. In one of the fac
tory towns where he spoke yesterday
just before the opening of the polls
he was beaten 4 to l.
The vote for Senator LaFollette is
not more than per cent of the to-
tai vote cast.
In nearly all parts of the state the
vote was exceedingly light.
The New Jersey primary is the last
but one (South Dakota) to be held
before the national conventions.
Returns received later in the day
swelled Roosevelt's plurality to prob
ably $1,000, although the 3rd and
9th congressional districts We're still

AGAINST BEET
SUGAR
Testimony Given Showing the Obsta-

Associated Press.

New York, May 29.-Chester S.
Morey, president OF the Great West
ern Sugar company, continued as a
witness in the sugar trial today. The
government introduced letter from
Mr.. Morey to Henry o. Hayemeyer,
written on February 20, 1904, in
which Morey said that he was at
tempting to create bigger demand
for the beet sugar in Colorado by
selling it ten cents per hundred
cheaper than cane
The letter said: I'VE have dis
covered that il is a mistake to have
the name of the local factory or any
thing on the sack to indicate that it
is beet sugar and next year every bag
will be turned out without any dis
tinctive brand, merely using the
number on the bottom of the sack to
identify the factory from which it
is shipped"
The government did not press the
point as to whether this meant that
beet sugar was sold as cane sugar in
the eastern markets or not.
