While Abdul Hamid was still upon
the thone Of Turkey, the president
of the American Missionary college at
Tarsus sent to New York for a large
consignment of textbooks. In due time
all except the chemistries came safe
ly. At first the president could not
find out what was the matter, but
finally the commissioner of the port
sent for him.
Christian" he said, sternly, 1T is
not for you to complain. 1t is for you
to give thanks to Allah that you did
not follow your diabolical books into
the flames. Here is one copy that we
saved for witness. Not all of its
deadly ciphers could we read, but this
is plain even to the eye of babe. -

know without a doubt that it is being
Systematically robbed by the Steel
Trust" Representative Barton, Repub-

Secretary of the Navy Daniels plan to
establish a Government armor plate
factory.
Speaking on the subject in the
House, Representative Barton re-
viewed the reports Of the Govern

Trust armOr plate monopoly and read
letter from Secretary Daniels.

that Congress will not fail to back
up the department in whatever steps
seems best to obtain armor plate at
a fair price. This is too great a Gov

Made a Great Blaze.

With a face as rudy as an apple
Farmer Tullett drove along the quiet
country road in his trap.
AS he drew near the little village
he met the minister walking along,
with downcast head and a very medi-
tative look upon his face.
I'm right sorry to hear O. the fire
at your house last night. sir" he said.
Was there any serious loss?"
Indeed there was, my good Tul-
lett" said the minister dolefully. Ten
years sermons were completely burn
ed"
The old farmer touched his horse
with his whip and sly twinkle came
into his merry eye.
Aye" he retorted as the trap moved
off, they'd make a grand blaze, sir!
They were so dry, you see!"

MOSQUITO Pest Overcome

Fighting mosquitoes was one of the
construction problems of the power de-
velopment at Stave Falls, British Co
lumbia. Two years ago the pests were
so annoying at the height of the mos
quito season that for two weeks work
was suspended altogether. 1t is re-
ported that this season there have
been practically no mosquitoes as a re-
suit of the fact that a man was de-
tailed to spend his time putting oil on
pools in the neighborhood.- Engineer
