Procession of splendor.

In the whole gallery of war pictures,
It may be doubted If any could have
been more colOrful than those COM
posed by the remarkable British cam
palgn in which Colonel Lawrence.
archaeOlOglst by pre-war professions
gathered and led the desert host Of
Arabs. 'The order of march," says,
Colonel Lawrence, describing the en-
trance of the cOnQuerOrs into the town
of El-Wijh, twas splendid and bar
barrie. Feisal rode in front dressed In
pure white. was on his left, also in
white, and on his right was another
shereef wearing a red headelOth and
a tunic and cloak dyed with henna.
and behind us were Bedouins carrying
three banners of purple silk, topped
with gold spikes, and behind them
rode three drummers playing a march,
and they were followed by a wild,
bouncing mass of 5000 camels that
constituted our bodyguard, the men
in every variety of cOlOred gown and
headdress, and the camels equally bril-
liant in their trappings, and the whole
crowd singing at the top of their
voices a war song in honor of Feisal
and his family" Memory runs over
accounts of cOnquering hosts of all
ages and finds nothing, as the English
leader himself describes it, more bar
barrie and splendid.

BIRD HUNTERS CLEVER Trick
Natives Of Northern Nigeria Assume
Resemblance Of the Quarry They
Are Seeking.

Someone may have called yOu "a
bird" with explanatory accents OF adj
miratiOn, but haze you ever tried to
act like a bird Or to appear like a
bird to attract a real bird? OF course
you haven't, for this isn't the way we
in this country go hunting, even though
we may be the most ardent of sports
men. 1t is, however, one bird-hunting
method in Africa. writes Temple Man
ming in the st. Louis Republic.
A recent illustration shows how a
dusky beau sets out to fascinate one
of the feathered natives of the woods
and plains of northern Nigeria. 1t was
in Bassa, to be exact, where the pho
tOgraph from which the picture is
drawn was snapped. And the person
who was caught in the very act of en-
ticing bird belongs TO the tribe which
goes by the name of Munshi.
Industrious and very good tillers OF
the soil as they are, the Munshis are
said to be Quarrelsome and great
lovers of alcohol, which they sometimes
cOntrive to smuggle in and to drink
with vast speed. 1t may be, indeed,
that this Munshi hoped to catch his
bird for the drink it would bring. At
any rate, he was most serious as he
went about his bird-acting.
Clad in a straw shirt to give the
effect of the scene in which he moved,
the hunter held the artificial birds
head close to his own and began 10
stalk his quarry. To human eyes view
ing him from a distance he looked
more like a strange caricaturc of an
ostrich than anything else. To bird
eyes perhaps he appeared like scene
from the surrounding cOuntry-that is,
a bird lettering on a cOal-black branch,
swaying above a field of grain that
moved in the wind.
1t seems odd that so simple an ex-
pedient should be so successful. It is
true that the hunters sometimes return
empy-handed, but more often they
come back laden with the birds they
set forth to get. In this country and
in these days, when hunters sometimes
seem almost as numerous as the hunt
ed, it would be exceedingly dangerous
to appear like the quarry, for a bullet
most certainly would be the reward.
But in Nigeria the method is a success,
although 1t requires much practice to
initiate a bird well enough to deceive
the birds themselves.

A most unhappy fate befell a young
llama that came into the port Of New
York on the u. S. s. Munaires, says
contributor to the Geological Society
Bulletin. United States sailors won
the animal at a ball game In Buenos
Aires, and brought him north with the
intention of presenting him to the New
York Geological Park. Not realizing
his capacity for food, they failed to
bring enough hay to last until they
reached port, especially since they gem
erously permitted the llama to wander
into the hay compartment at will and
eat all he wished at each visit. The
hay gave out when the ship was cross
ing the equator. but the llama solved
the difficulty temporarily by discover
ing several brooms and eating the last
wisp Of straw from the handles.
In desperation. the men collected all
The broOms on board and fed them to
the llama. When the brooms we're
gone. the animal became demonstra-
tive, but he refused every substitute
until they offered him dried prunes.
Onrfhat diet he arrived in New York
alive and apparently well, but during
sudden cold spell he developed bron-
chial troubles. and finally died OF
pneumonia.

Answers Put in plain words, she had

Said Suzanne: "we big women

That query set me thinking. Do
men prefer little women to girls Of the
Amazon type? Has size any power
when it comes to a question Of falling
in love?
Undoubtedly women like big men. A
giant catches admiration from the eye
of any and every woman in his vicin-

possesses it. It's, "a natural supposition,
after all, isn't it? Big men impress,

Scouts Keep the Law.

Every now and then some judge or
juvenile court worker bears testi-
mony that scouting keeps boys out OF
mischief, that scouts keep the law and
are good citizens in embryo. Recently
q. E. Harmon, an attorney of Tacoma.
Wash, made the following statement:
''Of all the boys passing through the
Juvenile court in the last year, not one
was an active scout" There are 700
boys AFFILIATED with the Tacoma cOun-
ell, so this statement really means
something. Not one boy who came up
as a case before the court was an ac-
tive scout, and upon investigation It
was shown that in only two cases were
the offenders boys who had had any
connection whatever at any time with
scouting.-James 3. West, in Boys
Life.

Aats For EIusbands onIY.


Marriage in Korea divides the men
from the boys in way that may be
convenient, but that sometimes is
amusing No one but a married man
can wear the peculiar high-crowned
hat that is so characteristic Of Korean
dress. One day, writes Mr.. Roy G.
Andrews in the National Geographic
Magazine. noticed a little fellow who
wore 3 hat ana had his hair knotted
on the top Of his head. He was only
a child, and said to the cook, els that
little boy really marriedT
do you mean that mang" the cook
asked, pointing at the child.
I said. YES" and learned that the
little fellow, who was only eleven
years old. had a wife Of ten, to whom
ne had been legally married. Although
they would continue to live with their
parents for the next two or three
years, the boy was referred to as
''man," and had all the privileges Of
a full-grOwn member of the commu-
nifty.
Near the imam" was a fellow Of
forty-seven, who wore his hair partSa
in the middle and hanging in long
braid down his back. Because he was
unmarried, he could not wear hat
or tie up his hair; no matter what age
he reached. he would always be con-
sidered to be boy. The two were
photographed side by side, to the great
displeasure Of the eleven-year-old man.

old man was found to be dead.
Mr.. Cunningham was unmarried. He
leaves a brother, Sid Cunningham, who
lives in Fayette and a sister who lives
