Serio Comic Battle That Deposed the
Gay Sultan.
Zanzibar reminds every visitor of
the towns described in "The Arabian
Nights" 1t is a typical Arabian town,
and there seems to be a mystery and
a romance behind every door The
town was ruled for hundreds of years
by sultan until the English took
charge.
There is still sultan, who receives
salary from the English govern.
ment, but some day he will be deposed,
and there will be no further pretense
of sultan having anything to do with
the government. The old palace Of
the sultan-an ugly affair, which looks
like a boarding house-is used for Of
fees by the British. Near the palace
is the harem, now deserted, since the
present sultan has but one wife.
The sultan, who had trouble with the
English, was educated in England and
spent much of his time and all of his
revenues in Paris. One day an Eng
lish gunboat sailed into the harbor,
and the captain told the gay sultan
that he had been ousted. The sultan
resented the high handed proceeding
and sent word to the defenders Of his
dignity to sink the English gunboat
and put the insolent captain in the
dungeon.
There was an old fort near the pal
ace, ON the walls Of which were
mounted a few rusty cannon. The
defenders Of the sultan tried to FIRE
these at the English gunboat, but they
burst, one by one, and almost wiped
out the sultan's defensive force. The
captain Of the English gunboat then
began dropping shells into the palace
and, with one solid shot, sank the sui
tans navy--a small vessel which car
ried four guns.-F, w. Howe in Howe's
Monthly.

TURKISH VENGEANCE.
It's a Perilous Matter to Endanger tho
Life of a Sultan.

It's Perious Matter to Endanser tho
Life of a Sultan.
Within two weeks after the assas-
slnation Of Mahmud Shefket Pasha,
the grand vizier Of Turkey. thirty-two
men were put to death for taking part
in the conspiracy. According to Tur-
kish custom handed down from the
time of Mohammed. there Is no limit
as to the number Of lives that may be
taken as a penalty for the murder Of
one man. Even those interested In
the remotest degree are liable to the
sultan's vengeance 1t ls not SO much
the number the ruler of Turkey is au-
thorized to put out Of the way, but
rather where the line is to be drawn.
The Turks have II story Of one Of
the earlier successors of Mohammed
whose life was only endangered be-
cause Of rock falling down a decliv-
ity near which the sultan was riding
with his retinue. Half a dozen OF
those in charge Of the trip were put to
death as an ordinary matter of course,
then half dozen more who might
have remotely known something about
the facilities afforded by the road for
killing the sultan. Finally all the mem.
bers of secret club or lodge were or,
dered executed because It was ascer.
tained that one of the responses to
password was "Will you roll down the
stoneT
Despite the protestatlons Of the club
members that the words had no slgnlfl-
canoe at all with respect to the sultan
or the sultan's trip along the road, they
were ordered to the scaffold. They
numbered l1S in all and died bravely,
assuring their executioners to the very
last that they were innocent Later
eunuch who told how the falling Of the
rock was merely an accident was also
put to death for daring to say so.-New

Ratified THE BANDIT.
Curious Experience With Band OF
Mexican Cutthroats.


Everybody in Mexico goes about arm
ed Even the passenger trains on most
of the railroads are guarded by detach-
ments of soldiers who ride In special
cars, while on every station platform
are seen rural guards armed with cara
bines ready for an emergency. For
eigners have to adapt themselves 10
the custom Of going about armed or
else make themselves unfavorably con-
spicuous in the eyes Of the natives.
1t was novel experience, however, to
see railroad surveyors, when occupied
with their peaceful work. armed to the
teeth with knives and revolvers. AS
matter Of fact, arms were rarely re
quired In Mexico as a means OF de-
fense, AS everywhere else, 1t Is well
to remember, however, to keep cool
and forget that you are armed in case
Of a quarrel.
In this connection the principal locat-
ing engineer of the road had an expe-
rience at which he displayed some
nerve He had to make a reconnois-
sance Of a mountain range called the
Sierra Gorda, said to be infested with
cutthroats. He was warned to let the
district alone, but duty prevailed, and
he went. When reaching rancho
near the summit at sundown he and
his attendant were met by four men
whose law breaking propensities re-
quired no further introduction than
their faces. They took hold OF the
party's horses, told the engineer and
his attendant to dlsmount and made
no effort to conceal the fact that they
were there for business.
The engineer complied smllingly, and,
going up to the leader, mysti6ed that
individual by asking him to step aside.
~ am told that it is unsafe to travel
in these mountains" he whispered,
will you not therefore oblige me by
taking care of my property and allow
us to remain under your roof until
morning" With that he handed over
his watch, money and other things,
and the astonished thief, who was
probably for the first time In his life
treated to the novelty Of being trust
ed. not only let the engineer have the
best in his house, but handed him back
his property in the morning and fur
nished him with two cutthroats to
serve as an escort during the rest Of
his journey.-Max T. Schmidt in En-
gineering Magazine.
