Winner of Mile Run ExpIodes Anglo
American Tradition That One
Man Can't Have Both.

That the possession of Drawn does
not necessarily preclude the posses
sion of brains is the lesson taught us
by young Norman S. Taber. lately an
Oxford Rhodes scholar, who recently
in the Harvard stadium established a
new worlds record of four minutes
twelve and three-fifths seconds for the
mile run. breaking by threetwentieths
OF a second the record of four min
utes twelve and three-fourths seconds.
which was established by W. G.
George Of England twenty-nine years
ago.
Stop watches today record fifths-
not fourths-of a second. 1t may
seem like putting too fine point upon
a running race to time it to twentieths
OF second; but In this age of special
ization nothing is more highly special
lied than athletics; and as five of the
most reliable watch holders in the
country all caught Mr. Tabers time
alike, there is little doubt that he fair
" tied the record and that technically
be certainly broke it.
But, as we said before, the inter
esting thing about this achievement
II wind and muscle is that 1t was &C.

spring, she will say she has five chill
dren and two girls or whatever the
| numbers may be. This is the more
strange since the would-be husband
must pay his father-in-law hand
some price for the girl, while boys
are a heavy expense, and their wives
and weddings are costly affairs.
! Women are looked upon as some
| thing inferior. The woman may new
er call her husband by his first name,
| but oh father of Ahmed, or whatever
the eldest sons name may be- The
wife likewise takes the name of her
tirstborn son. The husband will new
er say my wife or mention her first
| name, but will say either the mother
of Ahmed or my family, the relative
in my house, the Forbidden or the
daughter OF my uncle.' The reason
for this last title is that the village
man in the Holy Land marries his first
cousin in preference to anyone else.
and in fact she cannot marry another
if he wants her.
When the fellah or peasant child
is born it's tender skin, without being
washed, is rubbed with olive oil and
salt For seven consecutive days it is
reOiled. and when a week old gets its
first bath and is again oiled. In some
localities they consider it unsafe to
battle the baby before it is 40 days old
Mortality among the babies is great,
and it is not TO be wondered at for in
view of the rough treatment they re-
ceive, it becomes a question Of the
survival of the tittest.
The ways of these village folk,
their methods of agriculture, of adj
ministration of household and COM |
munity. and of sanitation are primi- |
tive "reminiscences of the days before |
the coming Of Christ. The refuse Of |
their villages are piled in great heaps |
around it, and there left to tester.
Their blowing is bare scratching Of
the ground with wooden plows, while
they thresh their grain by failing and
treading, and mill it in stone mortars.
The marriage customs of these peo-
pie are interesting. Young men mar

which is the social center for all the
village men, who love companionship
and are great gossips. Each day, by
turn, one Of the villagers furnishes
the coffee, beans and sugar, to be
served to the men who gather at the
guest chamber. He, also. supplies the
food and bedding if some ordinary
guests come along.
They are, OF course, great respect
ers OF persons; SO that if common
man happens in, a couple of fried eggs
with bread and olives will do for him.
If a more important parsonage ar
rlves, a pair OF roast chickens is pro.
vided for his supper; but if a still
more honored one or a company of
men apear, lamb or kid is killed.
The village guestchamber is a club of
