FREE THREE MONTHS
BACK TO JAIL
Ex.Convict, After Spending Short
Time Breathing Free Air, Starts
Back at Old Game.

A negro by the name OF T. M. Molly,
who has been in Bryan only few
weeks, is now In a peck of trouble.
He was arrested yesterday evening
by local officers for theft. 1t seems
that he at one time was farmer and
could not get it out of his head that
at this time Of the year he should
have some cotton and cotton seed to
sell, but inasmuch as he had been
out of the state penitentiary only
three months 1t was hardly possible
for him to have cotton Of his own, so
he proceeded to rent himself the
basement of an old store building on
Rat Row and began to gather his
crop from different places In and
around the city. Officers have found
number OF places where 1t is alleged
he had stolen seed cotton and few
where he had stolen just the seed. His
collection consisted OF a little more
than a bale OF seed cotton and about
l,400 pounds OF good seed. Mr.. Molly
had only gone to market with a por
tion Of his crop when discovered, but
was making good with the high price
prevailing. as he had nearly 800 II
his possession when arrested and tax
en- to the county Jail.
Molly completed serving a two-yeai
term at Fort Bend on the 25th Of las
August, being sent up from Crockett
for stealing two bales OF ginned cot
ton.

|, body bent on enforcing peace ac-
cording 10 his own particular formu-
Ia. SO far It has not been necessary
to invoke the aid of the law 10 make
the conferees remember thet object OF
the meeting, but the proceedings have
been sufficiently animated to add a
chapter TO peace history that loses
little in interest by comparison with
those that have gone before.
1t must be that the passion for
peace. after ALL Is stronger than that
for war. Ordinarily. men and ma
lions deliberate long before taking the
step that leads TO actual violence. The
present war Is the outgrowth Of many
years Of intrigue, Of suspicion of
cautious preparation by the nations
involved. There has been nothing
about Il to indicate impulsiveness or.
headlong impetuosity. 1t has been
a decidedly machne-like affair.
In sharp contrast has been the at
titude Of the advocate Of peace at any
price. He would stop all unfriendly
demonstrations at once, and stop them
in his own way. and without counting
the cost Literally, he Is the man
who will have peace If he has to
fight for Il. and most Of his time dur
ing the last two years has been spent
in fighting for II.
There is no lesson to be learned
from all this--that Is, none that Is
apparent at the present time. AZ
some future day the philosopher and
the psychologist may. after due analy-
sis Of the phenomena that have been
observed. be able TO draw certain de-
ductions Of n more or less useful
character. In the meantime the rest
Of us may only look on and wonder
at the strange manifestations Of the
passion for peace that stir the
breasts OF certain of our fellow citi-
gems.

There Is also a strong wooden box for
clothes. That is all
Fatima is expecting u.s. She well
comes up most graciously. What a
beautiful woman she Is, with oval
olive face, large dark eyes. and shin
ing black hair in braids. She has
donned her choicest silks and jewels,
for our visit is most welcome break
in the monotony of her life. How
charming she is, how stately, and dig
nified! We take our seats on the
floor, on cushions, by her side, From
epmewnere dozen women and girls
Arabs.
The servants are giggling among
themselves at our strange raiment
Why don't you dye your palms and
finger nails red with henna? Where
are your elfelsg Are you married
Didn't you get any jewels as Il we'd
ding dowry? How many sons have
you?
Fatlma's face is sad now, and some
one whispers TO MS that she is in con
stant fear of divorce, because her
children are all girls, A slave woman

A beautiful, frail girl gentle and
sweet, comes into the room. She is
Fatima's oldest daughter. She Is II
years of age and soon to be married
to an old and dissipated man with
other wives He is a relative of the
family and very rich. The girls
father made the contract. She will
not see her husband until they are
married
Now an old, decrepit woman, the
in. After she has satisfied her curl
osity about the strange visitors, she
begins her recital. The latest birth,
marriage death. divorce and scandal
are her theme, She is the woman's
newspaper and yellow journal at

intrigue-the Moslem harem.
Let me tell you some more about
Fatima. She eats her meals in the
of her women. A Aloham-
medan man would not eat with a
woman. she is sometimes allowed to
so out in the evening deeply yelled
ana without a lantern. Her slave
women lead the way. She never goes
out with her husband. He would not
walk with a woman.
Mentally, physically spiritually, the
Arab woman has never had chance
