Turkish HOLIDAYS.

In nothing is the natural soberness
of the Turk more manifest than in his
holidays. He keeps fewer of them
than his Christian compatriot, and
most of them he celebrates in such a
way that an outsider would scarcely
suspect the fact. This is partly, per-
haps, matter of temperament and
partly because Islam has not yet
passed a certain stage of evolution. A
holiday, that is, is still holy day.
Secular and patriotic festivals, are
everywhere of comparatively recent
origin. In Turkey, where church and
state are one to a degree now un-
known in western countries, there was
no real national holiday until 1909.
Then the first anniversary of the re-
establishment of the constitution was
celebrated on the twenty-third of
July July 10, old style). A highly
picturesque celebration it was, too, in
Constantinople, at least, with it's mag
nificent array of rugs and medieval
tents on the Hill of Liberty, it's review
OF troops by the sultan, it's procession
of the guilds of the city and its eve
ming illuminations.

the ancient city in the beautiful Bay

In the midst of these festivities
comes the tragic eruption of the vol

the city. It is a scene which must be
observed with ones own eyes to be
realized, as all descriptions of it fall
short of it's realistic effects Amid
the awe-inspiring eruption of Vesu-
vius and the cataclysm Of lurid flames
and lava are mingled the deep roll of
the earthquake and the crash of the
city's falling buildings. The volcanoes

be seen and heard for many miles,

The trials of skill and strength ma

crowd can be seen priests quelling
disturbances by virtue of their robes

upon by the mutterings of the big vol
cano, and cloud of smoke is seen to
gather about the crater. This is fol-
lowed by fame and lava, and as
things must move quickly in order to
allow the events of weeks to be crowd

A STRANGE WOOING
Action on a Sudden Impulse Lays
the Foundation for
Success.
BY ELIZABETH scHoEN COBB.

It was a strange wooing, If it could
be called such. On the one hand was
Bryce Wharton, with strong, earnest
love. On the other, trustful, sympa-
thetic Milly Dover What she thought,
what sweet words of encouragement
she might have had in mind to speak
to the ingenious, impetuous young
man whose handsome face would ap-
peal to any girlish imagination in a
vivid way, she was not allowed to ex-
press.
Il have told you just what my heart
dictated" Bryce had spoken. 81 must
not ask you to tell me what you think
of it, for it would be unfair to your
self and to your family. | only ask
you to allow me to hope you will once
in awhile remember that | am going
to work at an ideal, to come back and
tell you of it when l have reached the
goal"
You will be regretted now, and
surely welcome then" murmured Mil
ly, and with brief handshake he was
gone. She was almost at the point
of tears. "Oh, why did he not-did
he not see that l am interested in
him, and all he may do, and-and-"
and then pretty Milly hid her blushing
longing face in her hands, and only
the mellow moonlight and the cooling
nightingales saw and pitied.
Headstrong and resolute, set upon
an idea and determined to carry it out,
Bryce strode down the lonely country
road in the direction of home. 1t had
been a new home to him for the past
month. 1t had been as we'll new
home to his cousin, Evan Gray. Both
were orphans. Both had been sum-
moned home from different colleges
for an interview with wealthy John
Gray, their uncle.
He was a generous-hearted, indul-
gent old fellow but he had some prac-
tical ideas in that active mind of his

kind. He had been builder of note

in his day, and the stately mansion
was sample Of his own architecture.
He was going on long trip to Eu-
rope. His nephews had graduated.
They were welcome to remain, young
masters of the house, until his re-
turn.
Then to decide on what you intend
to do in the world for living" was
the ultimatum of the old man. Enjoy
yourself for the present, let your
minds fallow through a year of
ease and enjoyment. They will all
the more clearly respond to the call
for duty when you start out on the
real business of life"
The cousins found comfort, luxury
and ease indeed in their new life.
They had cultured social surroundings
and the Dovers were their nearest
neighbors. The first time the young
men met the fair daughter of the
house, Milly, the peerless, they mutu-
ally decided they had found the fair
est thing on earth.
Bryce found Evan lying in a ham,
mock, doing, when he reached the
Elms. Evan was languid, settled
down into the Incidence of being as
though it was going to last forever
II say" he observed, drowsily,
what's this hear of your leaving in
the morning?"
"A simple fact, that is ALL" replied
RrVce seriouslv
"A journey somewhere?"
mo- I am going to the city to look
for work"
Evan sat up and regarded his cous-
in in bewilderment.
You give me a sbock!" he OBJ
served. What's your ldea?"
Il cannot afford to waste a year for
nothing" was Bryce's response.
Why, another month of this motive
less life would divest me of all energy
and ambition. Besides" and there
Bryce paused. He could have told of
the urging influence of his love for
Milly. but he refrsined before a possi-
BILE rival.
Sorry" yawned Evan. Going to
leave the field to me, eh-the fair Mil
ly included?"
She Is worth any mans winning"

The old farmer and his wife lived
near the village church. One warm
Sunday evening, while they sat doing

Il just love that chirpin' noise," said

cricket had stopped he was fast
asleep.

into a beautiful chant.

PAINS LAST DAYS OF P0MPEIl'

Secured by Management as One Of
the Numerous Free Attractions.
This Years Production Surpasses

Program Closes Each Evening With
Brilliant Pyrotechnical Display.
The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, which
destroyed the city of Pompeii, will be
reproduced as near as mechanical in
genuity can do SO, by the Pain Fire
works company in their famous spec
tacle, the Last Days of Pompeii,"
which will be the nightly free feature
at the Ohio State AFR, to be held in

Acres of scenery, and tons of COM
bustible and inflammable material will
be used at every performance, and
visitors will have an opportunity of
seeing an accurate picture of a great
seismic disturbance. Mt. Vesuvius is
pictured very true to life, and the dis
Neapolitan feast day is dramatically
presented in it's horrors. The scene
laid out along the front, nearly 400
feet wide, presents accurately the Ne
apolitan courts, where the people
gather for their celebration. Among
the $50 performers there is presented
almost every class and condition of
Italian citizenary, and the people are
shown going about their pleasures, in
their own way.

MECHANICS OF THE GREAT
Noted Men, Like Prize Winners Of the
Turf, Have What Might Be Called
"Stable Names"

Some day, when at last | have OBJ
tanned my divorce and ceased to toll,
l am going to devote my leisure to
a thesaurus of the stable names of
the great. You know what a stable
name is, of course. You know that
racing mare called Czarina Olga Fed
orvna in the dope sheets is not Gar
ina Olga Fedorovna in the stable, nor
even Czarina or Olga, but usually
plain Lii or jimmie. And you know,
too, that prize bulldog called Cham
pion Zoroaster IL. on the bench is
often plain Jack or Ponto lin the ken
mel. So with the eminent of genus
homo, Owen Hatteras writes in the
Smart Set. The official style and ap-
pellation of the late King Edward VII
was Edward, by the Grace of God, of
the United Kingdam of Great Britain
and Ireland, and of the Dominions Be-
yond the Seas, King, Emperor of In
dia-but his wife called him BERTHE.
And the wife of Kaiser Wilhelm calls
him Willie.
But what Of even greater men?
What was Ibsen's stable name? Did
his wife call him Henrik formally,
harshly-or did she tone it down to
Hen, Henny, Harry, Rik or Hank?
And Bismarck? Did the Furstin ever
call him Ottchen? Or Otilly? Both
favorites at the German hearth! And
Tolstoy? By Russian custom he was
Leo Nikalajevitch to his friends-but
was he ever Lee or Nicky to the coun-
tess? What was Grant to his wife?
Certainly not Ulysses, an inhuman,
impossible name! And Napoleon l.?
And Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? And
Honore Balzac? And Robert Brown
ing? Was he ever Bob? And John
Wesley? Was he ever Jack? And En-
manuel Swedenborg? Was he ever
