IRON HAND IN EGYPT
Lord Kitchener's Sway in Nile
Country Is MaSterful.
Speaking of Education of Youths, "We
Cont Want Them to Get Their
Hands Soft" He Says-Holds
Some Unique Views.

Cairo, Egypt.-No explanation of
the government of Egypt is adequate
without the presentation of the name
of Lord Kitchener, who since his ap-
pointment as British agent in October
of 1911 has been increasingly the
unique and dynamic force behind all
the government agencies, alike the
protector of imperial English interests
and the humanitarian Regeneration Of
wick Cooper in letter from Cairo to
the Christian Science Monitor.
He came to Egypt to assist in the
completion of the splendid work Of re-
generation commenced by Lord Gro
mer. Ee himself had before contrib
uted to the problem as the soldier
leader in Khartum, the conqueror of
the Khalifa, sweeping out of the Su-
dan the fanatical dervishes, nor did he
arrive one moment too soon to arrest
the tide that was surely carrying
Egypt backward from the high and
superb craftsmanship of Lord Gro
mer's regime.
The presence of an iron hand was
needed and not few of Egypt's lead
ers were unconsciously turning in
their minds toward Kitchener. AS
the conversation of a certain Egyptian
officer who commanded brigade at
Omdurman infers: Lord Kitchener is
soldier. He is man of iron. He
made a clean sweep of the Sudan. He
is just, but he is not to be trif1ed with.
There is not nationalist in Egypt
who would not bury himself in the
sand if Lord Kitchener came to Cairo.
He is the man for the job"

eaer in Cairo l realized that he was

Chicago Couple Carry Out Woman's
Last Dying Wish-Funeral
Wedding Trip.

Chicago-The most urgent request
of the late Mrs. Peter Peterson, 1922
East Seventeen street, to her son,
Christ Peterson, during her final years
was that he get married before her
death.
IF not before / die, then at least be-
fore l am buried she told him.
The son was in no hurry, and not
thinking there was any likelihood of
his mother dying soon. he kept putting
1t off. Perhaps one factor in the post
ponement was the hesitating attitude
of the girl of his choice, Miss Hannah
Jensen, 1888 Adams avenue.
But on last Saturday Mrs. Peterson
while visiting a neighbor was stricken
with apoplexy.
Young Peterson remembered the
last wish his mother had expressed.
He telephoned Miss Jensen and OBJ
tanned her consent, then telephoned
the license clerk and discovered 1t was
too late 30 get marriage license.
The Rev. William Steinmeyer, pas
tor of the Zion Lutheran church, was
asked to officiate.
On Tuesday the minister was tele-
phoned again and asked to appear q

"the man for the job" l also realized
why the people of the Nile country.
when asked why the nationalists were
quiet, why the schools of agriculture
and commerce were thriving, why
thousands of acres of rich Egyptian
land we're being reclaimed by new
systems of irrigation and drainage,
why the European timeserver is I'M
tremendously disappearing, why the
journals of the agitators have been
going out of business at the rate of
one each day, why thousands of fella-
heen were beginning to have a grow
ing confidence in the government as
evidenced by their trust in the postal
Savings bank, or why Turkey did not
send It's soldiers across Egypt in its
war with Tripoli-yes, and why even
Downing street seemed affected with
a new confidence always gave the
same answer-Lord Kitchener
1t is said that without bayonets be-
hind or before, moral force cannot
exist. Egypt sees in the soldier who
drove out the mad Mahdi hosts the
spirit of command, which seems to be
the only attitude deeply respected by

AS Lord Kitchener sat and talked
and questioned In the British resi-
dency with it's beautiful tropical gar
dens sloping down to the Nile; as he
spoke in short, crisp phrases his Cos

tian opinion.
1t is to be hoped that this efficient
official who commands an army to
whom the name Kitchener" is an in
centive similar to that of the name
Napoleon" to the old guard, and who
in a comparatively brief time has
gained the confidence of the Egyptians
who have most at heart the country's
good, will receive the unstinted sup
port of the home government in the
progressive and highly unitarian
measures which he is now promulgat-
ing for the new Egypt.

To Fix Drawings.

Dissolve a piece of gum arabic in
warm water and spray It lightly over
a pencil drawing with an atomizer to
TX the picture. A regular fixant may
be bought, but this one answers all
purposes. II the gum is dissolved in
alcohol the solution will keep indefi-
nitely. Pin the picture to the wall,
apply the fluid lightly and allow it to
dry. The coating will prevent the
lines from becoming blurred. 1t is an
excellent method OF preparing draw
ings to send to publishers. The old
yellow tone of a drawing so much
admired by art lovers may be given
1t by pouring skinned milk over it
and drying it in the sun. 1t will give
a decided yellow cast.

nsrluatIon Of Word aAImanac.r

The etymology of the word has been
more disputed than that Of any other
in the French language, and from the
opinions expressed upon the subject,
Verstegan's has been accepted as
probable, though there cannot be the
slightest doubt that the Saxons, from
whom he obtains his derivation, took
their term from the Arabic. The Sax
ons, he says, used to engrave upon
certain squared sticks, about foot in
length, or shorter or longer as they
pleased, the courses of the incomes for
the whole yeere, whereby they could
alwaies certainly tell when the new
incomes, full incomes, and changes
should happen, as also their festival
daies, and such carved stick they
called an al-mon-aght; that is to say,
al-mon-hed-to wit, the regard or OBJ
servation of all the incomes, and hence
is derived the name of almanac" One
of these squared sticks, of uncertain
date, is still preserved in st. Johns
college, Cambridge.

'ecial to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 13.-"When is a man drunk ?" is a question that was propounded to Attor- ney General Moose by Mayor J. B. Mcknight of Tinsman. On the authority of a decision rem dered by the supreme court, and the definition given in the die tionary, Judge Moose replies as follows:
 '1 should say that if a man was under the influence of li- quor to such an extent that he has lost the normal control of his faculties, so that he is not able to attend to his business in an orderly manner, it could be truly said of him that he is in a drunken or intoxicated condi- tion. If, on the other hand, a person has been drinking intoX- icating liquors but has not lost the normal control of his facul- ties and is able to attend to his business in an orderly manner, it could not be said of him that he is drunk or intoxicated
 The supreme court held in a case where a man showed some signs of the effect of strong drink ,but was attending to his business in an orderly manner, that the testimony was insuffi- cient to show that he was drunk.
