The renewed breaking loose Of the

Knights of the Bath. who recently
were installed in Henry VII Chapel,
Westminster, Abbey, once had as mar
row an escape of his life as ever be-
fell a soldier II was In the course
OF the hercely fought campaign in the
Sudan. in 1881 There was lively
skirmish going on at a place named
Handoub, just outside of Suakim,
when Kitchener then rising young
officer Of engineers, was shot at by
one of the Mahdi's negro soldiers.
The bullet found its mark in the side
of Kitchener's face. II was a REM

point in the opening up of the coun-
try The British SOmaliland protec
torate extends along the Gulf of Alden
about 400 miles, and stretches inland
to a breadth varying from eighty to
200 miles. About $4,000 people are
settled in the coast towns; the rest
are nomads, who are almost con-
stantly giving trouble. The British
connection with the Somali coast
dates from the early years Of the last
century but British authority was not
definitely established, aud in 1854 the
Burton expedition was attacked at
Berbera. In 1874 the armies of Khe-
dive lsmail pasha of Egypt, occupied
Tajura. Berbera, and Bulhar, as well
as Harrar, in the hinterland Ten
years later, in consequence of the re-
volt OF the Mahdi i'm the Sudan, the
Egyptian garrisons were withdrawn.
Thereupon Great Britain. in order TO
secure the route to the East via the
Suez Canal. occupied Zalia. Berbera
and Bulhar. Treaties guaranteeing
British protection were concluded
with various Somali tribes, and the
boundaries of the proteetorate we're
defined by agreements with France,
Italy and Abyssinia.
In 1869 Mohammed- Abdullah
popularity known as the MAD Mullah,
first came upon the scene. He had
made several pigrimages TO Mecca,
where he had attached himself TO a
sect which enjoined strict observance
TO the Koran and placed an interdict
on the use of the leaves of the kat
plant, much sought after by the coast
Ara aud Somali for their stimulat-
ing and intoxicating properties. At
first the Mullahs influence was ex-
erted for good. and he kept the tribes
over whom he had control. at peace.
Accredited with the possession of su-
pernatural powers, he gathered
around him a strong following. In
1899. the Mullah began raiding tribes
friendly to the British. In August of
that year he occupied Burao. now
again in danger of attack $50 miles
from Berbera) and declared himself
the "Mahdi."
The tribes hostile to the Mullah,
| 0hu1Nt DiAilon iiOi'iNiths n AOh'' VI

and Burao was occupied Desperate
/ lighting followed into Italian territory.
In October 1902, while marching
/ through dense bush, the British force
was ambuscaded and lost 101 killed
while S5 were wounded Elaborate
operations against the Mullah we've
carried out in 1908 and ultimately the
Mullah was driven out of the British
protectOrate.
For some years he remained quies-
cent and was from time to time re-
ported as dead But in 1909 he was
again raiding tribes in the British pro-
tectorate The British government
came 10 the conclusion that another
expedition against the Mullah would
be useless; that they must make
roads and effectively occupy the
whole of the protectorate. or else
abandon the interior completely. The
latter course was decided upon aud
during the first months of 1910 the
advanced posts were withdrawn, and
the British administration confined tC
the coast towns.
In support of this decision il wa'
urged that it was no good pursuing

we bespeak for the Blythe school
a very successful school term under
their supervision.
Profitable farming depends fully
as much upon the farmer as it does
upon the soil. The good farmer may
succeed on poor soil but his success
will be cOrrespondingly increased
with favorable soil and climatic con-
ditions Here in the Palo Verde val
ley we have all favorable conditions
that go with successful farming--rich
soil plenty of watera perfect all-the
year round climate and the farmer
who cannot succeed here has but
little use to try farming elsewhere.
Monday, September |, is labor day,
and being a legal holiday the idea of
getting up a program of events is be-
ing considered. 1t is suggested that
we have here in Blythe, a series of
events such as horse races, foot races,
a base ball game and a half dozen
sparing and wrestling bouts, 1t is
reported that George Rice, the
hope of the Ocatillo Athletic club
will again pit himself against the
unknown" Mule Skinner. A game
OF base ball between the two old
time contestants, Sunnyside and BLY,
the, would be interesting and the
balance Of the time could be en-
joyably spent in horse racing, etc.

Court Doctor to Pharaoh.

Surgery is necessarily one Of the
most ancient of the sciences. Archie
olOgists have for instance just dis
covered records Of a surgeon who
lived during the fifth Egyptian dynas
ty, and must have been court doctor
to the Pharoah Sahura, some 4,OOC
years before Christ. The first surgi
cal implements of which anything is
known are splints found in the NJ
bian desert. In one place a grave
yard was found, and here were re
mains of bodies with fractured limbs
that had been set with bark splints
One was a right thigh-bone that had
been broken, and was still held in Pc
sition by workmanlike splint ana
bandages. All the knots were true
reef-knots, and the wrapping showed
how the strips Of palm-fiber cloth
were set just as a good surgeon would
set them nowadays. so as to use the
full strength Of the fabric. In other
cases bodies were found with com
pound fractures, where the broken
ends Of the bone had broken through
the skin.

HUMAN MIND IN ITS STAGES
Richard Steele's Beautiful Thoughts
on the Viclssitudes That Are Part
of Lies Journey.

The mind in infancy is, methinks.
like the body In embryo and receives
Impressions so forcible that they are
as hard to be removed by reason as
any mark with which child Is born
Is to be taken away by any future
application.
We that are very old are better
able to remember things which befell
US In our distant youth than the pass
ages of our later days, wrote Richard
Steele In the Taller. For this reason
1t Is that the companions Of my
strong and vigorous years present
themselves more Immediately to me
In this office Of sorrow Untimely and
unhappy deaths are what we are
most apt to lament so little are We
able to make 1t Indifferent when q
thing happens, though we know it
must happen. Thus we groan Under
life, and bewail those who are re-
lieved from 1t. Every object that re-
turns to our imagination raises differ
ent passions, according to the circum-
stances Of their departure. Who can
have lived In an army, and in a Sc
rtous hour reflect upon the many gay
and agreeable men that might long
have hOurished In the arts of peace,
and not join with the imprecations Of
the fatherless and widow on the
tyrant to whose ambition they fell
sacrifices? But gallant men who are
cut of by the sword move rather our
veneration than our pity; and we
gather relief enough from their own
contempt Of death to make that no
evil which was approached with so
much cheerfulness and attended with
30 much honor. But when we turn
our thoughts from the great parts Of
life on such occasions, and instead Of
lamenting those who stood ready to
give death to those from whom they
had the fortune to receive it say,
when we let our thoughts wander
from such noble objects, and consider
the havoc which is made among the
tender and innocent, pity enters with
al unmixed softness, and possesses
all our souls at once.
