THE REAL TURK.
Has Some Good Points Of Character.
Hard Lot of Women.
From Pearson's Weekly.

from Pearson's Weekly.
There is an old Turkish saying in
these words: When We are driven
out OF Constantinople We will go to
Broussa we will fly to paradise" The
Broussa we will fly to Paradise" The
saying gives a very good insight into
the character of the Turk as he really
is.
Fatalism and a simple but profound
belief in his religion are two OF his
strongest characteristics. Although
he will tell the most outrageous
falsehoods and exercise tho deepest
cunning in driving a bargain. he Is.
in the main. a simple soul, contented
with little. and blessed with the most
enviable powers of endurance.
In many ways. of course. the Turk
is an abomination. and utterly out OF
place in twentieth-century Europe.
but he has his points, as only those
who have travelled and studied him
at home can properly appreciate. he
is not the complete villain and raga-
! muffin he is SO popularity supposed to
be.
AS BELTS the introducer Of the Turk
| ish bath to the rest of the world. the
Turk is scrupulously clean person
| where his own body Is concerned. his
| towns and streets may be. and mostly
| are, filthy; but not so the Turk nim-
| self. Soap is scarce in Turkey-to the
ma atority of the inhabitants It Is an
unknown luxury-but the religion OF
Islam demands daily bathing. as wen
as certain ablutions before oft-re-
| peated prayers
The religion Of the Turk also keeps
him sober, while his kindness to dumb
| animals certainly puts many more
| civilized and enlightened folk to burn
ing shame. The prosecution OF a TURK
for cruelty to animals is an unknown
1 thing; no Moslem would ever over
! work his horse or his donkey or peat
his dog. He would as soon assault nis
| own father.
The Turk has an extraordinary and
!, apparently Inevitable way OF imme-
4 diately deteriorating when he mas any

he is bonded with others OF MIS- race

private life, he is often quite cna1M n

HE and he has a sense of humor. In
1 fact, when he likes, the Turk can Dc q

But, unfortunately. the bad traits OF
the Turk far outnumber the gooo ones
! The position which he allows to MS

the new automobile fire truck is not
given up, according to announcement
made yesterday by Fire Chief Briener,
Since the advent of the new fire
truck, and it's inauguration into serv-
ice, the fireboys have been having
more and more difficulty, because OF
the spreading practice, by automo-
bilsts particularly, of trying to reach
the fire on equal terms with the fire
apparatus.
Already several accidents have
been narrowly averted only because
OF the care and caution of the fife
truck driver. Time has been lost by
the fireboys, in order to avoid run
ming down some careless driver VIII
would attempt to pass and cut in
ahead of the fire truck. 1t is almost
impossible for the fire truck to be
operated at its full speed, because OF
the danger brought on by the drivers
of other vehicles.
