ers. When he calls them together
and says the season for British SOL
diers is now open, they all agree that
he is right
Abdullah is about fifty years old,
the son of a poor shepherd OF the
Habi Sulieman Ogaden. When he
was eighteen years old he married
into the Dolbahanta Ali Gheri. At
this age he showed that he was al
ways looking out for the main
chance, for he sold all the herds that
his wife brought him and went to
school at Berbera, where he became
versed in Islamic lore and learned
Latin from a Catholic missionary
He even went so far as to read
Caesars Commentaries in the orig.
inal, and his subsequent campaigns
showed that he had high opinion of
the Roman as a soldier. When he
was twenty years old he made his
first pilgrimage to Mecca.
The most interesting campaign con.
Quoted against the Mad Mullah was
one elaborately planned by the Brit
ish foreign office in 1902. with the aid
of Italy and King Menelik. The
British expedition was in command
of Brig. Gen. Eric Swayne, then a
colonel with ten years experience
in Somaliland. So well was the ex-
pedition planned that it seemed impos-
sible that the new mahdi could es-
cape. But the crafty African was not
to be taken so easily, and worried
and harried the Italians, British and
Abyssinian forces in a most exasper-
ating manner. When the smoke of
| battle cleared away it was found that
the expedition had cost the British
government 100000 and the Mad
Mullah was still his own master.
Abdullah has about 10000 men. all
of whom are either well trained to
modern warfare or fatalists of the
usual Mohammedan type. About half
have modern magazine rifles. He
has 10000 cavalry, he manufactures
his own powder and bullets, and is
burdened with no commissariat. Fiji
ty thousand square miles, containing
300, ZOO Mohammedans, are apparent
! ly at his disposal.

PROPER CARE OF RUGS
LENGTH OF LIFE DEPENDS ON
HOW THEY ARE TREATED.
Vacuum Cleaner Has Done Much to
Preserve the Appearance Of Floor
Coverings in Helping to Pre-
serve the Nap.

The vacuum cleaner is really boon
10 the oriental rug. The nap is thor
oughly cleaned without being pulled
out, as it is sometimes pulled out
when rugs are beaten. Even a vac
uum cleaner should be used on fine
rugs with care, and 1t should be rolled
up and down the rug with the nap
rather than across it.
1t is, of course, desirable to have
oriental rugs perfectly clean. The
idea that they look older or more
artistic when they are soiled is abb
surd. But clean them carefully. Once
year wash them with wool soap and
warm water and dry them evenly, so
that they will lie fiat and smoothly
on the floor. And always sweep them
gently, though thoroughly. In the
winter, when there is snow, sprinkle
1t over them when you are brushing
them and watch the colors regain a
marvellous freshness.
The autumn is a good time to repair
rugs. If there are moth holes in
oriental rugs have them mended by
a professional. If the fringe is ragged
and rough trim it evenly. If the sell
wage edges are worn, overland them
before they become really ragged.
Careful attention prolongs the life
Of rug as nothing else can prolong
1t. The ordinary wear and tear of
years will not bring about half as
many bad results as will the neglect

he should mail them direct to the ap-
plicants. The theory of the practice
which was outlined and on which the
law governing the present method of
distribution is based was good, but
its working out has proved defective
IN many instances.
Director William ]. Harris of the bu-
reau of the census had his attention
called to defects in the present meth
cd few weeks after coming into Of
fee. A correspondent wrote to Direc-
tor Harris requesting that a summary
of the latest agricultural statistics be
mailed him. A form letter was writ
ten in the census Office to the appli-
cant for information, saying that the
request had been referred to the su-
perintendent of documents, and that
the bulletin containing the statistics
would be mailed from the government
printing office. The information was
wanted in a hurry; the correspondent
waited five days, then wrote to the SUI
perintendent of documents stating
ing that the bulletin would be mailed
from IDe printing OluCe. n pOllIe re-
quest was made of the superintendent
of documents to hurry the informa-
ton, as the time for completing the
article in which the statistics were
to be included was growing very short.
The superintendent of documents then
sent a form post card to the CORE
spondent, saying that his letter had
been referred to the director of the
census. The correspondent, whose
patience was almost worn out by this
time, having expected the information
in one or two days at the most after
his original request was made, brought
the matter to the attention of Director
Harris, who was surprised that the
red tape created by the present law
makes prompt distribution of public
documents almost impossible. provid-
ing the request for them comes by
mail. On personal application docu-
ment will be furnished Immediately,
but only those people living in Wash
ington can have the benefit of this
prompt service.
Hundreds of cases similar to the on
which has Just been outlined occur
every month in the departments. and.

Government Is Spending Millions of
Dollars for Popular Dissemination

Washington-How to insure prompt
hess In the distribution of publica-
tions continues to be a vexing prob
lem in many bureaus of the various
branches of the government, particu-
larly in the departments OF agricul-
ture. commerce, interior and labor
These are the departments which pub
lish the greatest number of printed
documents for which there is popu-
lar demand. The government is spend

year, the fund for the dissemination of
information through the medium of
printers ink in the department of ag-
riculture alone amounting to more
than $1,00O,O00.
At the present time all bulletins are
sent out by the superintendent of
documents of the government printing
office. This officials task would be
easy and his service most satisfac-
tory If his work were restricted to

law passed by the last congress, he

bulletins of any kind must be filled
by the government printing office.
The object of this law was efficiency
and economy, but chiefs of various
bureaus believe that it entails more
expense in the end than the original
system of direct distribution. When
congress made the law, which has
been in operation about one year, it
did so on the information that at the
time bulletins were carted from the
government printing office to the in
dividual bureaus and thence mailed
out over the country. Because of the
fact that the government printing Of
fee is near the Union station it was
figured that a saving in transportation
could be effected if the bureaus would
refer their requests for bulletins to

Christmas On Ruby Hill

The SENTINEL and others on the
local telephone line were reminded
on Christmas eve of the old English
custom of ushering in Christmas by
the joyful singing of Christmas
carols, when Thomas Cardew, w. j.
Eathorne and Ed Moyle, who had
met at the Office Of l. H. Rogers on
Ruby Hill, rendered some of their
old-time f~avorites, which were listen
ed to by parties along the line. One
could almost imagine they could see
the English holly and hear the re-
echo of the joyful anthem, "Glory
In the Highest, Peace On Earth,
Good VIII to Men,"
The Ruby Hill Star Band celebrated
Christmas Day by visiting and play
ing at the different homes on the
Hill in the afternoon. Several selec-
tons of the band were also listened
to over the phone line. The old
time motto, AT Christmas Play and
Make Good Cheer, for Christmas
Comes But Once a Year." must have
been theirs, for the boys had a good
time and gave pleasure to their
friends.
Last, but not least, the Juvenile
Orchestra of Ruby Hill, who said
that they were still celebrating
Christmas, called on Mr.. Rogers Fri
day evening and a number of selec-
tions rendered by them were heard
over the telephone. They are a
musical set of young people, as they
played with good taste and expires
sion. They were equipped with mis-
cellaneous instruments. violin. ac-
Gordon, harmonicas, etc.
