FEW VISIT INLAND TURKEY
Americans Are Not Acquainted With
Thriving City of kalsariyeh, an
Ancient Metropolis.

OF the real Turkey few Americans
have a clear picture. Constantinople
and Smyrna, a few seaports-thou-
sands Of Americans have seen those.
Very few Americans have made the
inland voyage. Behold, time, the city
of Kaisariyeh, halfway between the
Mediterranean and the Black sea,
served by no railroad, yet thriving
place of 10000 people, playing some
thing like the role of Chicago to
Constantinople's New York, writes a
correspondent.
Approaching Kaisariyeh of a morning
one sees it haloed by haze of light
blue smoke. 1t rises from the fumes
from the charcoal braziers, which are
set out on the roofs until they are well
alight, for these first fumes from the
slowly burning charcoal odorless and
scarcely visible, are fatal in the in
closed air of a room. Later the clear
sunlight bathes the housetops and the
towering form Of Mount Argaeus rises
like a snoW-capped sentinel behind the
city. The streets are full Of q motley
crowd, gray-bearded sheiks of the old
regime pausing to exhange the elabo-
rate bows and greetings ordained by
formality, and young officers of the
Young Turks party riding by on rest
less horses.
At sunrise, noon and sunset, the
boom of single cannon thuds out
from the roof of the old palace. This
cannon serves as the town clock, and
as all the ritual of prayer and fasting
commanded by the prophet for the diff
ferent feasts is regulated by its thun-
der the old man who serves it is one
of the most important local function
aries.

ed FranticaIIy at His Breast.
back across the river. He could see
his start of surprise as his eyes fell
upon the pursuing canoe and called the
attention of his followers to it.
Now the canoe was within easy
speaking distance of the shore.
"What do you want?" yelled NAL
bihn, raising his weapon threateningly.
"You, hang you!" shouted Baynes,
whipping out his revolver and firing al
most simultaneously with the Swede.
AS the two reports rang out Malbihn
dropped his rifle, clutched frantically
at his breast, staggered, fell, first to
his knees and then lunged upon his
face Baynes stiffened. His head flew
back spasmodically. For an instant
he stood thus and then crumpled very
gently into the bottom of the boat.
Baynes turned weakly in the direc-
tion of the shore, to see Malbihn drawn
up upon his elbows, leveling his rife
at him. The Englishman slid to the
bottom of the canoe as bullet whiz-
zed above him. Malbihn, sore hit, took
longer in aiming, nor was his aim as
sure as formerly.
With difficulty Baynes turned him
self over on his stomach and, grasping
his revolver in his right, hand, drew
himself up until he could lcok over
the edge of the canoe.
Malbihn saw him instantly and fired,
but Baynes did not finch or duck.
With painstaking care he aimed at the
target upon the shore, awey from
which he now was drifting with the
current. His finger closed upon the
trigger. There was FASH report,
and Malbihn's giant frame jerked to
the impact of another bullet.

Plant Life Changes.

The life of plant varieties grown
from seed, in their pure and original
forms, is very short, notes a botanist.
They soon pass in slightly different
forms and the process is constantly
taking place. So that in few years
a named variety is quite unlike the
original, even though direct descend
ant. Everything grown from one orig
inal seed is soon broken up into many
divergent forms, and in some cases
this takes In the first generation.

WANTED TO KEEP OLD RUSSIA
Desire of Caucasian Princess Was for
Independence Without Blemishes
of Industriaiism..

I met a Caucasian princess here in
Petrograd Ernest Poole writes in the
Saturday Evening Post. She sat next
to me one day in the small press gal
lery or the hall in which the duma
used to meet. Now in it's place was
the council. The woman by my side,
L learned, was here as a correspond
ent for a social revolutionist paper
down in the Caucasus.
l had been in the Caucasus years
before, and we spoke of the old town
where she had been born, high up in
he heart of the mountains The Rus
slams call the women there "the dia-
nonds of Russia" and this woman
vas one of these. I was curious to
earn what had drawn her to a scene
ike this,y@so many thousand miles
rom home. She explained that her
husband had been killed in the first
year of the war and that after that
;he had thrown herself into war activ-
ties.
1--WE don't want to desert the Rus
sian cause. We are all in favor of
pushing the war through to the end,'
she told me. "And at the same time
We are doing our part in the work of
he revolution. The president of the
council here, and half the other lead
,rs, too, are Caucasians. We are do
ng our share. But at the same time
We want to be free from too much
'ule by Petrograd."
"What do you mean by autonomy?
How free do you want to be?' asked.
"Tell me about your United States.
You have states, and a nation, too,
she said.
l tried to explain the relations be-
tween our states and the federal gov
ernment.
''We wish more than that she said
'we want more independence"
l replied that in America we were
moving Just the other Way-toWaro
more centralized government-and
tried to explain how the growth OF
railroads, factories, mills and huge
interstate corporations was forcing
us to grant more and more control to
the men in Washington.
"But," she rejoined, 1--WE don't want
an ugly land of mills. We want our
Russia to stay as it isl mean with
its beautiful fields and its forests, Its
rivers and its mountains. You have
seen the Caucasus and know you will
feel what l mean"

CHAPTER XIV.
Morrison Squares Accounts.

A mile away toward the east, fight
ing his way through the jungle along
the trail taken by Malbihn when he
had brought Meriem to his camp, a
man in torn khaki, filthy, haggard, un-
kempt, came to a sudden stop as the
report of a rifle resounded family
through the tangled forest. The black
man just ahead of him stopped too.
1--WE are almost there, Bwana," he
said. There was awe and respect in
his tone and manner.
The white man nodded and motioned
his ebon guide forward once more. 1t
was the Hon. Morrison Baynes, the fas-
tidious, the exquisite. His face and
hands We're scratched and smeared
with dried blood from the wounds he
had come by in thorn and thicket. His
clothes were tatters. But through the
blood and the dirt and the rags a new
BayneS shone forth-a handsomer
Baynes than the dandy and fop Of
yore.
AS the two forged ahead toward their
goal they were startled by volley Of
shots ahead OF them. linen came a
few scattering reports, some savage
yells and silence.
Baynes was frantic in his endeavors
to advance more rapidly, but here the
jungle seemed a thousandfold more
tangled than before. A dozen times
he tripped and fell. Twice the black
followed q blind trail, and they were
forced to retrace their steps, but at last
they came out into a little clearing
near the big afi, clearing that once
had held a thriving village, but now
lay desolate in decay and ruin.
In the jungle vegetation that over
grew what had once been the main
village street lay the body Of g slssk
man, pierced through the heart with

bullet and still warm. Raynes anu MS
companion looked about in all dfrec-
| tions, but no sign of a living being
could they discover. They stood in 81
lence, listening intently.
What was that? Voices and the dip
of paddles out upon the river?
Baynes ran across the dead village
toward the fringe of jungle upon the
rivers brim. The black was at his
side. Together they forced their way
through the screening foliage until they
could obtain a view of the river, and
there, almost to the other shore, they
saw Malbihn's canoes making rapidly
for camp.
The black recognized his companions
Immediately.
allow can we CROSSE" asked Baynes.
The black shook his head. There
was no canoe. and the crocodiles made
1t equivalent to suicide to enter the
water in an attempt to swim across.
Just then the fellow CHANGED to
glance downward. Beneath him,
wedged among the branches Of a tree,
lay canoe.
The negro grasped Baynes' arm and
pointed toward his find. The Hon.
Morrison could scarce repress a shout
of exultation. Quickly the two slid
down the dropping branches into the
boat. The black seized the paddle, and
Baynes showed them out from beneath
the tree. A second later the canoe shot
out upon the bosom of the river and
headed toward the opposite shore and
the camp Of the Swede.
Baynes squatted in the bow, strain
ing his eyes after the men pulling the
other canoes upon the bank across
from him. He saw Malbihn step from
the bow of the foremost Of the little
craft. He saw him turn and glance

Must Cherish WashIngton's Ideals.

It is of greater Importance to cher
ish the ideals for which Washington
lived and fought than to praise his vtr-
tues. These latter will find their high
est tribute in the loyalty we show to
the former.
Wisdom, courage, a passion for lib
erty and a lofty sense of right were the
great qualities of the first president Of
the United States. Never did we need
them more than now.
A country Is worthy of Its heroes

With cartridges for the revolver she
might hope to bag small game and TO

With the thought came determina-

ammunition. She realized that she
was taking great chances of recapture.
But without means of defense and of
obtaining meat she felt that she could
never hope TO reach safety. And so
she turned her face back toward the

SENIORS UNABLE TG
 SELECT CLASS PLAY

Selecting a suitable class play ap- pears to be a real problem for the senior class of the Phoenix high school to wrestle with. Unable to find play in which the plot,royalty and heaviness agree with the ideas of the seniors has placed the above mentioned class in a very serious quandry.
 Two meetings have already been held and nothing accomplished by either. Favor seems to be divided be- tween comedies and tragedies. Turn to the Right" seems to be in favor, but the royalty is very heavy, and there is some doubt as to whether or no the right to put the production on can be gotten.
 "Brewster's Millions and Jimmy Valentine" have been turned down be- cause of extreme antiquity, and in fact, nothing can be definitely decided. The more cheerful members of the class feel confident of having the play | decided upon within a week, and it 1 is likely that such will be the case. as | nearly every play in the calendar has been looked over and the right one must be found soon.
