READ CHARACTER FROM FEET
Shoe Dealer Says Tney Are Sure In

of Mind.

Delegates attending the annual con-
vention of the Ohio Retail Shoe Deal
ers' association maintain the feet are
closely related to character.
Feet are not lowly parts of the
anatomy-no pun intended" said O.
K. Dorm, a Cleveland shoe dealer.
It's possible to read character from
feet, just as a phrenologist reads char
acter from the head.
"Women's feet are especially good
indexes OF states OF mind.

The Best PASSAGE,

A somewhat conceited clergyman,
who was more celebrated for the
length of his sermons than for their
eloquence. once asked the late Father
Healy. the famous Irish wit, what he
thought of the one just preached.
''Well, sir" replied the humorist, II

Indeed, Father Healy, and pardon

REGION FULL OF ROMANCE
khanikin, kasr-i-Shirin and Other
Points on the Caravan Route
to Bagdad.

The Khanikin region, where the
Russians were reported to have been
checked some time ago in their ad-
vance upon Bagdad, is the subject OF
the following war geography bulletin
issued by the National Geographic So
ciety:
1t is a 90 hours journey, along q
much-traveled caravan route, from
Khanikin to Bagdad. The latter city
lies S5 miles southwest of the Turkish
border town which is situated on both
sides of the Hulvan river, tributary
of the Diala, whose waters empty into
the Tigris.
Nesting near the foothills of the
lagos mountains, with the fertile but
uncultivated Mesopotamian plain
stretching to the south, Khanikiu Is
commercial gateway between Persia
and Asiatic Turkey. Through 1t pass
the caravans which bear to Bagdad
the produce destined for transshipment
to the port of Basra
Not only does the traveller Journey
ing from Bagdad to Khanikin meet
trade caravans, but frequently he en-
counters curious funeral professions
of Shiite pilgrims making their solemn
way from various points in kurdistan
to Kerbela, below Bagdad. The faith
full believe that there is special virtue
in being buried near the shrine of
Husein, who fell at Kerbela in $50
A. D., while battling with the enemies
of his father, Ali, son-in-law of the
prophet and fourth caliph.
Khanikin is charmingly situated in
the midst of gardens, whose fruits
and palms are famous. Six hours
journey from here, on the road to
kermanshah, is Kasr-i-Shirin, once the
headquarters of notorious robber
chief and interesting on account of it's
connection with the romantic legends
concerning Ferhad and Shirin. Here
are to be found the remains of a rock
hewn aqueduct which in ancient days
conveyed water for a distance of Is
miles in order that the gardens of
Shirin might be made worthy of the
beauty of their far-famed misii ess.
The story Of Ferhad and Shirin is one
of the favorite romances of the East.
Ferhad was the greatest sculptor of
his day, and great architect. While
making bas-reliefs of his sovereign,
ChoSroes II. and of the latter's bride,
the Christian Shirin (also called Sira),
the sculptor fell madly in love with
his beautiful model. ChosrOes, so goes
the legend, promised to bestow Shirin
upon his gifted subject provided the
latter would cut through the rock of
Behistun and divert stream to the
Kermanshah plain. Ferhad under
took the task, but when the work was
almost completed an emissary came
from the false king bearing tragic
story of Shirin's death. The sculptor
in despair leaped from the rocks and
was dashed to death upon The site of
his engineering triumph.
