TURKISH BEDOUINS
ARRIVE AND JOIN
SHEESLEY SHOWS
STANCE COMPANY OF FOLKS,
THEIR ORIENTAL CUSTOMS
AND EQUIPMENT ARE IN THE
CITY.
by George w. Rollins, Press Repre-
sentative,)

(By George w. Rollins, Press Repre-
sentative.)
Friday night was noisy one at
the winter quarters of the Greater
Sheesley shows, which are spending
the rest and rejuvenating months at
Pensacola. A full company of Turk
ish Bedouins had been vending their
way through the streets, dressed in
Oriental colors and fabric cut in such
a way that latter day modists would
find their styles commonplace, car
rying the strangest of luggage, in
Guiding drums, tambourines, flageo-
let's and tympanies, leading and pull
ing along the donkeys and goats, all
bearing their loads of enormous size.
Dusty and jaded with travel, con-
versing in Arabic hngui and adding
zeal by the spasmodic gesture of the
open and uplifted hand, calling to
mind the fall of Babylon. There were
Shieks, Bedouins, Dervishes and Ba-
cooks, representing pick of the ma
tons best necromancers, sword fight
ers, gun spinners, musicians, torture
dances from the mosques and the elite
of the sacred dancers of the temple,
all vending their pilgrimage to the
home of the aggregation under whose
domes their crescent is to wave in its
tour through Christendom.
Shiek Hagopian, of Asia Minor, is
their chief and brought most of the
band to this country, and his right
hand man, Minas Simeon, acted as
interpreter and guide. The latter
first came to this country when the
worlds fair was the center of amuse-
ment and since has astonished the
world with his gifts of superhuman
necromancy.
Hassan Gursui, one of the must
clans, had taken his seat before the
door of his tent and was drumming
an instrument akin to cross between
drum and a pickle barrel and a fire
was lighted and the maids and ma
irons had taken long quaffs from
their troquen pipes, while Sirens, Ca
mia, Asia, Fatima, Sultana and Ro-
sfna, all of Cairo, chanted the Vreu-
lin, or song of adoption, for Captain
John Sheesley was to loose to them
his military appendage and was to be
made a Shiek.
Each of the men in turn kissed the
new shiek in waiting, upon each cheek
and the danes and damsels upon
their Bonded knees bowed their heads
to earth three times, each time chant
ing Allah, II Allah, while the der
wishes whirled their fanatical prayer
for some twenty minutes, and when

The Courier thoroughly endorses
this observation of the Tampa Times:
"Some of the most readable stuff APP
pearing in each issue of the Florida
Grower emanates from the pen Of
Maj. E. A. Moreno. Moreno not only
knows what the readers of the Grow

it to 'em. Edgar Wright is fortunate
in the character of his editorial and

Sheep Killing

Report reaches Moline that a num-
Der of sheep were recently killed near
town by unknown parties. The sheep
were on a ranch managed by Mr.. w.
H. Morgan of Pensacola, and that
gentleman on Tuesday placed $500 in
the Moline State Bank to be paid to
the person who furnishes evidence to
convict those guilty of killing the
sheep. 1t is not q good advertise
ment to the outside world that Escam-
bia county has people who wantonly
destroy the property of another, and
the sooner such people are caught and
punished the better it will be for the
county. It is the duty of every law
abiding citizen to lend his aid in the
suppression of this lawlessness, and
we sincerely hope that some one will
come forward and claim the $500 re-
ward.-Molino Advertiser.

The Hon. George Won Lieben Meyer,
who attained fame few years ago
by closing the Pensacola navy yard,
recently came out second best in a
scrap in which one other person, Hon.
Truxton Beale, was engaged. The
former secretary Of the navy had to
undergo repairs in a hospital. PEN
sacola will back the Honorable Beale
two to one in any scrap in which he
might engage with Won Meyer and
enjoy seeing the latter given what
he gave Pensacola black eye.
More power to Mr.. Beale.

summer. Mr.. WEIGH made the plans

POLES

In addition to War Brides" Ia re- view of which appears elsewhere in The Farmer) there is a very pleasing program of vaudeville at Polls. There is diversity in the program and every number yesterday met with hearty approval.
 Roland Travis & Co.,, offering se- ries of illusions, completely mystif1ed the audience with a program that was unique. They have many unusual feats developed in ''the black art,'' and they present them in a most enter taining way. There is mystery and mirth in this very pleasing novelty.
 Grace DeWinters, a charming little lady, offered something novel in vaudeville-a female ventriloquist. She gets away from the usual routine of such entertainers and had little trouble in registering hit.
 Dodge & Lowell, presenting very amusing variety skit, came in for their, share of honors with a program that was up-to-the-minute and han died most acceptably.
 Castellane Brothers, in their aero tatic oddity, completed the vaudeville bill with some stunts that were really thrilling.

PLAZA

It wasn't known much before the last minute yesterday tat "A Gamble In Souls" was to be shown at the Plaza but it was certainly a thrilling play and everyone in the audience was pleased with it's story.
 William Desmond and Dorothy Dalton are featured in the play which tells a tale of two men and woman on desert island. One of the men is clergyman and the girl is a dance hall performer, but before the play is over the minister has killed his rival for love of the woman as we'll as in her defense. There are plenty of splendid scenes and the thrills have been we'll distributed. making 1t an especially entertaining subject.
 Holiday In Dixie," a colored of fering with cast of eleven had little difficulty in scoring a most enthusia- astic reception. It is a merry whirl of song, dance and mirth and there's action every second of the time.
 Roger, Curzon and Rogers, clever trio of funsters, "put one over'' on the audience in the form of little surprise and they kept the laughs coming in clusters throughout their offering.
 Tornton and Thornton offered songs and bright repartee in mighty pleasant fashion and they had their audiences with them from the start.
 Billy Kin Kaid did little bit of everything. He's Scotch, you know, and he has quaint way of slipping over laughs that you don't quite get used to until he's almost through.
 The Keystone comedy is crammed with laugh-provoking nonsense and was greatly appreciated by yester- days audiences.

Amuscmcnt3
'1ALONG CAME RUTH" IS
 REFRESHING PRODUCTION

The Lyric All Star Stock Go. regis tered another solid hit with this weeks offering of Henry w. Savage's great success, Along Came Ruth.''
 The play is unlike anything this clever company of players has pre- sented thus far this season. The story in brief concerns Ruth Ambrose, a charming young girl with her own way to make in the world and the courage and ability to make 1t. She goes to Oldport, Me-. more through accident than design, but being there, decides to make the best of it. Hay ing to get a position she drops into Israel Hubbard's furniture store, ap- plying for position as clerk. His store is in such a run down condition that he has trouble paying the rent, let alone putting on another clerK. Ruth by her charming manner wins though, and before he knows it, Israel Hubbard has installed Ruth as h1s head saleswoman in his furniture store. The fact that he had few cus- toners didn't bother Ruth. She got them and then she got new. furniture to sell them. She stirred up the town and it's citizens as it had never been stirred LID before. She organized a mutual improvement society, a board ofg trade and various other things for the good of Oldport. Of course Ruth falls in love with one man and sev- eral other men fall in love with her, which tends to complicate the situa- tion, but like all good and true TO- mances, "Along Came Ruth'' ends in a manner that pleases everyone.
 David Herblin. the leading man, plays the part of the young lover in a manner that will win him more friends. MT. Evarts has great chance as Israel Hubbard and he takes advantage of his chance andi scores. MT. Gebhardt and Miss Mercy, both new with this company, scOred individual hits. MT. Marshall has a part that suits him and he gives. good account of himself Miss Geral- dine Sloane in bit made an impres- sion. Miss Waldron played Ruth and was convincing.

URGE GASOLINE
 STANDARD FOR
 UNITED STATES

The federal bureau of mines, at mineralogists in an effort to define a United States standard for gasoline. Among those who have been invited to submit their criticisms of a pro- posed classification, together with sug- gestins for improvement of the tepta- tiv estandard, is Daniel Huff, chief chemist of the Packard Motor Car Co.
 ''The bureau of mines will find ready cooperation from many sources" MT. Huff said. Tt must appear to refiners, to manufacturers of automo- piles, and to motorists generally as quite desirable that a high standard be set up and approved by the, gov eminent.
 There is being marketed generally nowadays fuel of low gravity. It is by no means as satisfactory as the gasoline we were furnished five or six years ago, before the tremendous demand of the present day was felt. A continually increasing percentage of this fuel fails to vaporize at motor temperature-about 225 degrees.
 1T should like to see the federal government establish a higher stan dard than the gasoline now in use. Instead of classification including several qualities, the standard finally adopted should be approved, I think of only one grde. It might well be designated Motor Gasoline. A com plicated classification would confuse motorists and cover deceitful prac- tices I should set the standard at 95 per cent, meaning that in va porizing test 95 per cent. of the fluid sold as U. s. Approved Motor Gaso- 1ine' would distil1 pure gasoline at 18O degrees centigrade.
 "Of course, even with such a stan dard, and a public educated to de- mand it, there still would be many who would buy lower quality fuels. That would be their own affair, be- tween them and their own motors.
 Superior engine design aed con- struction always will tell. whatever the type of fuel used. but it may never count so much as in the pres- ent day, when low-gravity gasoline is in general use."

But new ! offer up my thanks
For mercles thai have been bestowed
Upon me, even though ! whined,
And now pause beside the road
To recognize that thou art kind.
When darkness seemed TO shut me 10
And on me ralned the blows Of fate
And when it seemed couldn't win
was a thing Of rage and hate.
The day was dark; the path was long;
Life's purpose misunderstood.
Today see that was wrong
And recognize that thou art good.
Because iOurHeyed day by day
And knew not where and couldn't see
walled that had lost my way
And cried. "ThOu hast deserted me ."
When grief was knocking at my heart
And tears were streaming from my
eyes
only knew felt the smart.
But now ! know that thOu art wise.
