Wanted-a Welee
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915, by Frank Crane)


A Welee is person whom the Arabs
believe to be endowed with superhuman
vision so that he can see hidden dan
ger where common mortals can not.
On account of this power to see what
to others is concealed, and to warn them
if danger. the Welees are called watch
men, or "overseers" (Ashab ed-Darak).
To illustrate. A Welee saw a man at
shop with a jar full of boiled beans
before him from which he was about to
serve his customers as usual He picked
up stone and broke the shopkeeper's
jar. The latter, enraged, gave the Welee
good trouncing with stick. The holy
seer did not resist or cry out, but after
his beating quietly went his way When
the man began to gather up the pieces of
his vessel he found to his horror that
poisonous serpent was in the beans,
whereupon he exclaimed:
There is no strength nor power but
in Allah! What have | done! This man
is Welee and has prevented my selling
what would have poisoned my custom
ersi'
The next day the Welee broke great
Jar of milk at shop. and was again
beaten. Afterward the milkman found
in his milk dead dog.
The third day the Welee, seeing SER
want carrying on his head platter of
food, tripped him up with his staff so
that he fell and spilled the viands. The
servant also beat the Welee, but seeing
a dog eat some of the food and immed-
ately die in agony, he perceivd that the
dishes were poisoned and that thus he
had been saved from a crime
He implored the good mans forgive
ness, but the latter was so disgusted that
he prayed Allah to release him from his
job. and his prayer was granted
All of which goes TO show that the
Welee business, though very useful, is
quite thankless.
There are Welees also in this prosaic
western world
The Welee parents. when they try to
show their conceited son or their head
strong girl the perils of their way, are
apt 10 get themselves disliked.
Many boy has hguratiyely, beaten
mis- father over the head for spelling his
fun. only to discover that if he had fol-
lowed the old mans advice il would have
saved him no end of misery.
And did you ever play the Weee to a
woman friend who was making a fool of
herself, and do you remember what hap
pened to you?
When we get along in years, and look
back over our career, we are struck by
the fact that good deal Of our hurtful
deeds were committed when we had the
best of intentions and verify believed we
were acting wisely and kindly.
How much harm has been done by peo-
pie who were enthusiastic TO do good!
0 that some Welee had come along
and shattered our jar of beans before we
had sold them and injured our beSt
friends!
Nobody can tell what will be the conse-
quences of any given word or deed, so
complicated are the strands Of cause and
effect in the web Of destiny.
What an opening there is for any num-
Der Of expert Welees to kindly knock US
in the head when we are about to make
fools Of ourselves.

In 1906 the prohibition movement
had become so strong in Iceland that

hotel in the capital city in order to |
prevent the sale of liquor over It's |

out of this purchase.

king would visit Iceland. II was DIS
covered that the only suitable place
for the entertainment OF himself ana
his suite was the hotel. which We had |
only recently purchased. As the king |
was an habitual wine drinker, the
Icelandic government asked rs TO per
nit the use of liquors in the hotel
during his visit We refused; the
king had no wine. Nevertheless our
committee in charge of the hotel was
asked to dine with the king AT state
banquet.
King Gives Approval
"In 1908 the Icelandic people voted
so per cent dry. In 1912 the law was
presented to the Danish king for his
signature. He signed it and at the
same time said, I have no greater
wish for my own people in Denmark
than that I may sign a similar law
