AN ARAB LEGEND.

Story Of the covstous Man Who Wont
Step Too Far.
The Arabs tell story to show how
a mean mans philosophy overshoots
itself. Under the reign of the first ca
liph there was a merchant Of Bagdad
equally rich and avaricious.
One day he bargained with a porter
to carry home for him basket of por.
celain vases for 10 paras. AS they
went along he said to the man: my
friend. you are young. and I am old.
You can still earn plenty. Strike a
para from your hire" "Willingly," re-
piled the porter. This request was re-
peated again and again, until, when
they reached the house. the porter had
only single para to receive.
As they went upstairs the merchant
said. III you will resign the last para
I will give you three pieces Of advice"
BE it So" said the porter. "Weli,
them" said the merchant, III any one
tells you It 10 better to be fasting than
feasting do not believe him. II any
one tells you 1t Is better to be poor
than rich do not believe him. II any
one tells you It Is better to walk than
ride in your carriage do not believe
him"
my dear SIR" replied the astonished
porter, II knew these things before.
But If you will listen to me will give
you such advice as you never heard be-
fore" The merchant turned around,
and the porter, throwing the basket
down the staircase, said. "If any one
tells you that one Of your vases is un-
broken do not believe him"

Defeats His Supposed Purpose.
America is the most important of
the neutral powers and other neutrals
look to her to take the lead in a con-

can present himself as mediator and
if it is his object for that reason to
