CHIEFTAIN DIED LIKE HERO
He Rode Alone Into the Ranks
OF His Enemies.

Col. Thomas E. Lawrence In the
Worlds Work, gives this very vivid
description of the death of one of
his Arabian chiefs:
After some minutes TalaI very slow
ly drew his beadcloth about his face
and then seemed to take hold of him
self, for he dished his stirrups into his
horses tanks and galloped headlong.
bending low in the saddle and sway
ing as though he would fall straight
at the main body of the enemy. 1t
was long ride down the gentle slope
and across the hollow, and we all sat
there like stone while he rushed for
ward, the drumming of his horses
hoofs sounding unnaturally loud in
our ears. We had stopped shooting
and the Turks had stopped shooting
both armies waited for him. He flew
on in this hushed evening till he was
only few lengths from the enemy.
Then he sat up in his saddle and cried
his war cry, 'Talal, Talal," twice in
a tremendous voice. Instantly all their
rifles and machine guns crashed out
together and he and his mare, rid
died through and through with bull
lets. fell dead among their lance
points

CORNERSTONE CAsKET DATA
English Historian Suggests Most Use
full Things and Data to be
Placed in Cavity.

The manager Of huge building that
Is being erected in England has, says
the Manchester Guardian, been con-
sidering the idea Of a foundation
stone casket to be imbedded In the
great mass Of ferro-concrete on which
the building is to stand. AS a reader
Of Mr. Wells "Outline of History" he
has been struck by Mr.. Wells diff
Guilty, through lack of significant ma
terial, in dealing with the worlds his
tory 5000 years ago. AS he was told
that the concrete foundations would
last at least that time, he thought
that 1t might be Of use to the Mr.
Wells of A D. 1921 if he found the in
formation about our time neatly pre-
pared for him. Accordingly he wrote
to Mr.. Wells and asked him to sug-
gest what would be the most useful
things or messages to be placed In the
cavity. Here is Mr. Wells reply:
Difficult to make suggestions. Prob
ably commonplace things with their
current prices will be of as much
value as anything Safety razor, cotton
reel, bottle of pickles and that sort
of thing A mail-order catalogue, pre-
war medicines and what they profess
to cure. Dietary for ordinary citi-
zen; typewriter, a sewing machine, and
so forth. Dressing bag with fit
tings. Current book on How to Be
have A kinema reel of current events.

Albanian Humor.

An Albanian barber shop were
there any, would have periodical va
cations. For the hair must not be cut
during the new moon, lest it turn
White. One Albanian explained to a
traveller that his muStache was white
because he had clipped it thoughtlesS-
ly at new moon. Fortunately he had
waited until the moon was on the
Vane to trim his hair.
The things that people laugh at
might readily be considered an index
to their development. A specimen of
Albanian humor is furnished by a Wis
itor who relates how a villager would
luminate and then laugh uproarious-
ly. This visitor took pains to find
the cause of his merriment \ typical
reply was this: Suppose a COW fell
from the cliff opposite. Every man
would run to pick up bit for supper
Then suppose, just as they got there.
all the bits Joined into the COW again
and ran away" He burst again into
peals of laughter at his fancy.-Na-
tional Geographic Society Bulle tin
