ARABIAN HOSPITALITY

ARABIAN HOSPITALITY
 < w Nichols veteran newspaper man of Jacksonville. III. is spending a few weeks in our place. with his daughter, for the benefit of his health. He is loud in his praise O: Tombstone. which he considers the best place in the world for climate and health-giy- ing qualities.
 He has travelled somewhat eNten- sively and offers an account Of an in cident in one of his journeys
 some years since yi5ted the land of Egypt. in company with four young ladies. We landed at Alexandria and secured for guide about rhe place 2 regular knock-down Arab. and taking a carriage. looked over the ancient place. But. in an unfortunate mo- ment. one Of the siris told the guide We would like to see his home, which pleased him much. and h. told the driver where to go.
 soon We had to leave the rig and wind through cork screw street too narrow for vehicle and .n fne sea son arrived at door in q wall which admitted us to a court fourteen feet square On each Of the three sides was a den in which family existed T can hardly say live'h and on the fourth were the door and cave in which the cooking for. the families was done.
 After We had been there little while our guide asked us 10 stay for dinner. The girls looked at me Tn despair but so sacred is the rite of hospitality in the eyes oi an Arab that our refusal would have been the gross est insult we could have offered him. so told them We must accept. though had we known the coming ordeal we would have said We were unable 10 stand it.
 The cooking was done in the cave in some dirty. repulsiye pots and ke:- ties. and the odor may better be imag- in.d than described. Our guide toON pity on us and didn't ask IS 10 sit on the ground. as in that country furni- ture is unknown. so he went out and somewhere raised small. circular table and six chairs. which we occu- pied and the dinner was brought in.
 "A fat sheep had been the principal supply. so in one dirty. repuls've crock was a thick soup. in another meat boiled to shreds and floating in grease while in a third were some bread crusts and other material which our host had probably secured from some hotel kitchen.
 Each was supplied with wooden spoon and bade dip into the common receptacles and eat We went brave,y at it. doing out best 10 make show of eating. Often our host would empty his own spoon and dip up n,orse!. place it on one O. our spoons and bid us try that, but when he took his dirty fingers and ,;shei ou, piece of meat from the grease and laid it on the spoon of one of the girls. it was too much for her and she looked at me in despair. as much as to say her stomach refused the no. sel
 'I quickly took it from the man. a'e it myself and praised its excellent @ qualities and every time he used his fingers in that way managed to get hold of the morsel myself and always praised it highly.
 We ate as long as the girls could hold out. and then, prais;ng rae fine qualities of the meal, insisted We were satisfied. On my return home I went to my pastor and told him of the mild departure from the truth had made 1, in eYtollinc fhe merits or that meal
