daughter and when she besought
her father to wed her to King
Shahriaf It was cause for grief to the
vixier. For each day was 1t Shahriar's
wont to put to death his bride Of the
day before. II befell. however, that
sSheheraxade had her will. As she had
hoped, the king was wakeful and to
beguile him she began a story Of
magic. Dawn broke before she had
finished and 30 eager was Shahriar to
hear II all that he gave no order for
her execution.
For q thousand and one nights did
this befall while Sheherasade told
tales Of love, war and sorcery. Of kings,
beggars and rogues. Of lands where
diamonds were more plentiful than
pebbles and bigger than eggs. Of In
trigues In the lanes and bazaars Of
Oriental cities. In towns and deserts
and far islands did necromancers work
their Wills Horses dew; dogs talked ;
mermaidens and creatures greater
than whales peopled the deeps; ogres
and enormous apes crept out Of for
ests: birds % great that their wings
darkened the day swooped from the
skies. Here. too. were lovers In pal
aces and novels, bold and cowardly.
yet an 20 enamored that they swOoned
at the very thought Of the beloved.
Underlying all was the colorful ORR
ent. with BARRIERS and porters 5ostiing
ealiphs and prineesses In the thronged
and picturesque lanes Of three cities
whose very names conjure up romance
-BAgdad. Cairo.and Damascus
Now these are the best liked Of She
heraxade's tales:
The Story Of Aladdin's lamp.
OF Aladdin. son Of poor tailor In
China. a prankish scamp. An African
magician guided him to q subtsrrahean
cave where he found the lamp that
summoned the genie. Out Of nothing
ness did this genie spread banQuets
for Aladdin and robe him In rich raj
ment. He provided him retinuss OF
slaves. bearing basins heaped high
with precious stones. who carried to
the king Aladdin's suppliance for the
hand {. the beautiful Princess Badroul-
boudour. In q night did the genie raise
. palace Of glowing wonders. Of shin
ing marble and gold and silver. with
windows incrusted with diamonds. en-
eralds and rubies. with fragrant gar
dens and open courts. So Aladdin mar
Eied the princess and they knew great
Joy. But the magician returned. stole
the lamp and In q trice transported
the palace and the princess to Africa.
Then was Aladdin woeful. but BY
magic he found his beloved. poisoned
the magician. seized the lamp and
came to China. where he and Badroul-
boudour lived happily ever afterward.

Bagdad. where he CHANGED upon
strange people who told him strange
stories Of magic. Once he supped with
three ladies Of daszling beauty and
with him were q porter da1ed with the
magnificence he saw and three mendi-
cants, sons Of kings all blind In the
left eye. Not knowing the Caliph they
told Of their fantastic adventures and
sufferings and he rewarded them. And
again he encountered beggar who I'M
plored him to strike him, youth who
spurred cruelty a mare upon which he
rode and q rope-maker who had risen
suddenly from poverty to afnuence.
Their tales TOO did he hear and them
too did he reward. Nor should Abu-
Hassan. the wag. be forgotten. whose
trickery In pretending that he and his
wife were deed won % much gold and
SO many laughs from the Caliph. And
Of like import is the mad tale Of the
humpback who seemed dead and Of
the laxative barber who restored him
to life. Of all those who had believed
themselves murierers Of the hump
hack and Of the amazing tales that
they related
So It came to pass that BY the end
Of the thousand and one nights Shah
riar was so delighted In the cleverness
Of Sheherasade that he welded her
again with regal pomp and they lived
happily ever after.

The People and Clean Streets.

The bad habits 0f wears cannot be
/ changed in q jiffy, but a great forward
step has been taken in this matter of
clean streets by the call for that precise
co operation Of the public that is really
/ the duty Of the citizen under the law.
| II will 20 against the grain Of many
persons TO turn themselves into law
abiding citizens. but the persistent in
difference in the past of the depart
meuts Of public safety and public
health and public works to the enforce
ment OF the laws and ordinances pro-
hibiting the littering of the streets has
been one OF the contributory factors in
the universal reign of dirty streets,
which have been a reproach all too long
Within recent years in New York. Of
Tenders against the non.littering ordi-
nances numbered more than 5000, who
were fined or jqiled annually, while
more than 10000 We're warned. So far
as anyone knows. not q single individ-
ual mas been jailed within 10 years in
Philadelphia: and If anyone was
brought TO book, il was probably as
matter OF political reprisal and not in
the interest of the honest enforcement
of the statutes or out Of a concern for
clean and well-ordered city. But
things are different now. and the CO.
operation that Director Winston is Sc
curing from DIR. Furbush and Director

clever moves on the part Of DR.. Furbush
by which the householder viii be called

veying the facts about the auti-litter-
ing laws, ought 10 produce results.
Above all, however. the prospect that
the police mean business and that those

Ons or private citizens who use the

Retaining Old Farms.

A tendency to buy up old, deserted
| farms and resume cultivation OF the
soil Is reported from Maine. This IS q
good sign, not only for Maine, but for
all of New England, and perhaps other
long settled regions During the past p
wears one of the facts most frequently
commented on by travellers through the
rural districts OF the eastern part OF
the country has been the great number
of deserted farms.
II has been urged by many thought
| full persons that there was little use in
opening up new farming regions by
means Of expensive reclamation prof
ects when so many abandoned farms
were available in regions close To big
markets. All these farms needed TO
make them prosperous was little
proper care. In New England. lime and
manure used in conjunction With up
to date farming methods would restore
many an old farm area TO prosperity
There may be various factors work
ing toward the restoration OF these
farms to active cultivation. There are
better roads to-day than ever before
connecting them with the markets OF
the great eastern cities. There is more
scientific information at hand about
the preservation of the best qualities
of the soil. rotation of crops and the
use OF agricultural machinery TO light
en- drudeery. Perhaps, too, the general
national prosperity is helping 60 speed
up this work of renewing the deserted
farms. Whatever the causes, the re-
suits are excellent III other sections

good thing for the whole country

Schools Must Be Supported.

A few more years Of such an exodus
of teachers from the school rooms and
the public school system of America
will be a ruin.
The only remedy for this situation
is to educate public opinion on the
question of better pay for teachers.
Colleges may go out and collect en-
dowment funds from friends. the pro-
ceeds Of which may be used to increase
salaries of professors, and they receive
large gifts from the nations masters
of wealth. hut the funds foi the main
tenance OF the public schools must
come from the people themselves, hence
the necessity of going direct to the
people with this problem and enlisting
their aid in solving It.

est opportunity for advancement and
educational improvement that the com
mon people Of the country have. With

TENDENCY TOWARD
RHEUMATISM WILL
RUN In FAMILIES
This Massachusetts, Woman Found the
Disease Developed When Her
Blood Became Thin.

Whether or not rheumatism may ac-
tually be inherited, it is evident from
the case OF Mrs. A, A. Dale that a ten
dency to II was hereditary, as she
states that most Of her fathers people
were sufferers from the disease. II is
an important fact that the rheumatism
developed whenever the blood became
thin. This establishes the relation Of
anemia to rheumatism and the need OF
building up the blood to drive out the
rheumatic poison.
Mrs. Dale was seen at her home, No.
4 Elm place, Haverhill, Mass, recently
and when questioned about her expert
fence said:
Most of my fathers people have
had rheumatism and whenever | would
overtaN my strength and my blood
would get thin | would have an attack
Of it. suffered in this way for five
years, and at one time was in bed for

What were the symptoms in your

There was a steady, dull pain. and my

OF the remedy
Dir. Williams Pink Pills. the remedy
that accomplished such satisfactory re
suits in Mrs. iDale's case, are blood

anemia, after effects of the grip and
fevers, general debility and sick head
aches, dizziness, nervous prostration,
and have accomplished wonderful re.
suits even in chronic cases. They should
be given a trial in every case in which

DESPATCH DEALS NOME
 A SUBTITLE KNOCK

The Alaska Dispatch of Novemht.' 2l, unconsciously perhaps. gives Nome a gentle little "knock' by asserting that Barry Keown, one of the few individual mining operators left in the Nome district, came south on the steamer Victoria and departed q few days later cnroute to New York. where he intends to pass the winter. '' Being an Alaska paper. although pub lished in Seattle. the Dispatch prob ably did not mean to do Nome an in jury but evidently failed to realize that such a statement not only creates q decidedly bad impression in the minds of those not conversant with affairs here but is also completely misrepresentative of the true situa- ton. Mir. Keown should not have been described as if he were a relic of some forlorn minority, as it happens that a major portion of all the mining dctlNllleS bl tHt .SUille ulSlflCt are conducted by men who are classed as "individual miners" Men are work ing alone or in two's and three's in all parts of the district. Right at the present time there are eighty or ninety such individual miners" nov working within a radius of ten miles of Nome and the number is increased many fold during the open season.
 The Dispatch statement gives the impression that Nome is no longer a field for the individual miner, where las the contrary is the case. as proved by the fact that scores of "smalr' min CTS work summer and winter in all parts of the district
 Like all the rest of the territory the Nome district needs more people and more capital to develop it's mum |erous latent resources. hence the Dispatch is doing us no good service by publishing statements which can hardly fail to keep settlers and in- vestors away.

The Admiral steamship line lost close to $50.000 on it's last years Alas ka passenger service and is figuring on another increase in passenger rates unless its freight department can show Il substantial gain over 1918, according to statements published in the Alaska Dispatch of November ii and attributed to General Passenger Agent McMicken.
 Discussing the outlook. the steam- ship officials told the Dispatch: Tt is hard to make the average Alaskan believe it possible for steamship company to lose money. Every steamer operated on the Alaska run has steadily increased in cost of oper- ation. don't want to recommend higher rates but with stocks being of- fered guaranteeing seven and eight percent. our stockholders are entitled to a fair return on the investment or our stocks will become valueless'-- All of which doubtless means we may as well make up our minds to an- other whack at the already heavily attacked pocketbook.
