ARABIAN JUSTICE.
A Desert Problem the Cadi Had Ma
Trouble In Solving.


Trouble In Solving.
Two Arabs stopped at an oasis to
have luncheon. one had three dates.
and the other had five. which they
were to eat together. Presently a
stranger came up and asked permits
sion to share their meal, which they
cheerfully granted. After all had
eaten the stranger thanked them for
the food they had given him, left eight
ducats and rode away.
The Arab who had the three dates
said, Here is s ducats for eight
dates-1 ducat for each date; there
fore three ducats are mine" But the
other Arab argued differently and con-
tended that he should have seven du-
cats and the first man one The case
was referred to the cadi Of the nearest
town. who upheld the second mans
contention. This is the way he reached
his decision:
The three men divided eight dates
There were two and two-thirds for
each, or eight-thirds The first Arab
had three dates, so he contributed nine
thirds TO the whole. but he ate eight
thirds himself. so he gave only one
third Of date to the stranger. The
second Arab contributed five dates, or
fifteen thirds; he ate eight-thirds him
self and gave seven-thirds to the
stranger
So reasoned the cadi. and he gave the
first Arab ! ducat and the second
ducats.-Youth's Companion

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1914.
HEARD MACDONOUGH'S GUNS.

That there is living in Addison county
today a man who distinctly remembers
hearing the guns that were fired at the
battle of Plattsburg, 100 years ago will
be read with interest
The gentleman in question is Rev.
Sedgwick w. Bidwell, who resides with
his son, Fred H. Bidwell, in East Mid
debury. This patriarch was born in
Starksboro. December 6, 1909, and will
therefore be 105 years old Oil his next
birthday.
As he was nearly five years old on
that memorial day when Thomas Mac
donough acquired deathless fame, it is
not at all surprising that his memory
carries him back to that time, especially
as the great event was no doubt talked
about and discussed at length long after
it had passed into history. He is prob
ably the only living man whose memory
goes back to the events of the day.
Mr.. Bidwell also recalls that some
soldiers called at his fathers house
within short time of the battle. Their
guns We're left at the door, with their
rations of pork stuck on their bayonets.
Mr. Bidwell is of old Vermont stock
His grandfather was one of the first
settlers in Stark sboro, coming from
Canaan, Ct, in 1887. Previous to leav-
ing Connecticut he had served in the
Revolutionary army.
He lived all his life in Addison county,
except two years spent in the town of
Norfolk, N. Y, in 1S5l-53. He has oc-
cupied his present residence in East
Middlebury for 81 years. He is without
doubt the Oldest living Methodist minis
ter in New En- gland, having conducted
services in the church at East Middle.
bury since passing the century mark.
He has also performed many marriage
ceremonies. Mr.. Bidwel is in fairly
good health, both mentally and physi-
cally, and has always been free from
disease. Rutland Herald.
