Fakir.

The common and perhaps slang
use of the word fakir is to denote an
impostor, humbug, a cunning and I'M
scrupulous pretender. 1t IS an adapted
use of a word tn is the g neral name
for member of an order OF mendi-
cants in the East, particularly In India.
The word is also used for MoSlem
priests and dervishes i'll Persia and
Turkey. Originally the fakirs were
not only "pious" men, but sometimes
pretended workers of miracles, and
healers of diseases. Under a sarb OF
humility and poverty they collected
aims, which often amounted to great
wealth. They lived either separately as
hermits or solitary beggars, or united
in large gangs, carrying arms and BAN
ners, beating drums and sounding
horns as they approached village.
The origin of fakirism is lost in myth
ical darkness, but the word fakir is
said to be derived from the Arabic
word fakhar, meaning poor.

Marlboro,


One of MarlborO's successful fish
ermen is up against a perpleXing
problem. Sea carrots, a low form
of sea life, are used extensively for
bait in cod fishing They are pro-
cured from the flats, but only at
certain times can they be found.
This hustling fisherman, to make his
first set sure this spring, secured last
fall, a good supply of this coveted
bait. He put them in tight con-
tainer, with good water circulation,
and every week examined them care
fully, and with pride has reported
the experiment a success. His last
call, however, was heart-rending
Every sea carrot was gone; like
magic, they had disappeared as they
do from the flats. This fisherman
used to go about whistling. He
doesn't now.

C%ONFISCATED
OPIUM RETURNS

Manila. II. l., Nov. 2o.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-
Approximately 1000 pounds Of con-
fiscated opium which was sent by the
bureau of supply of the Philippine
islands to the chief Of the bureau Of
insular affairs at washington for. sale
in the United States more thar year
ago, has just been returned here.
Several months after the opium
reached the United States, the chief
of the bureau Of insular affairs sent
the following cablegram to the gov
ernor general:
1.-THE pharmaceutical manufacture
ers here do not make any offer for
the purchase Of the nineteen s Of
opium. There is an abundant ship
ment of Turkish opium in New York
city with a more uniform amount of
morphine. 1t is believed that the
shipment will be q complete loss"
opium was ordered returned to
Manila, where it Is nov being held by
the bureau of supply.
The publication of an article by an
afternoon v%ernacular newspaper that
the opium had been distracted from
the ans during the round trip across
the Pacific and molasses substituted,
brought forth a denial from the bu-
reau Of supply. It w3s asserted that
the cans had been opened by secret
service agents and all of the drug had
been found intact.
The value Of opium confscated dur
ing the last year and now in the hands
of the bureau of supply is said to
amount to several hundred thousand
dollars. y

Justice johnson, accompanied by
Mrs. Johnson, was a passenger on the
army transport Sherman en- route
from Manila for San Francisco, from
whence he expected to go direct to
Marion, O., for a conference with
President-elect Harding regarding
conditions in the Philippines.
1.-The. Moros are beginning to real
ize that the Americans no longer are
looking after them,'' said Justice
Johnson. 1.-The. trouble down there
is just beginning. There will be more

WITHDRAWAL
OF MARINES
IS ADVOCATED
Ruraor Says Haitian Politi11
clans Want Marines to
Leave.

Fort Au Prince, Jan. 7.-Reports
tnat Haitians formerly active in the
Poi'tlcs OF the republic were trying to-
put forward q movement looking to
Inc withdrawal Of American occuna-
tlon forces have been widely circIlat.
ed In Port Au Prince. 1t was said
mat arrangements were being made
oy der of the movement to send a
delegation to Washington to urge
tnat' fnasmuch as the bandit bands
a oeen subdued, the government
De turned back to the people. Mill
tary authorities do not believe, how
ever: That the agitation will be far
reaching. -
Withdrawal Of marines would
mean the instant departure of near
y every American in business in
Haiti. according to the view express.
ed by Americans generally. Indeed,
it. Is said that If the marines should
go, President >Hartiguenave would
start ahead of them.
Discussing this possibility, the
president has declared that. under
the treaty, the occupation forces will
remain until the Washington govern
nent is convinced that the gend-
armerie is prepared to deal WITH any
situation. It Is because Of this I'M
Outstanding that the agitation for
withdrawal Is not taken seriously by
the Haitian or American authorities,
although it appears to be growing I'm
some quarters.
The freedom with which some. of
the Haitian newspapers have accused
and attacked marines has helped
stimulate the demand of some of the
cid political leaders that they be sent
home.

O'CALLAGHAN CAN
APPEAR BEFORE THE
IRISH COMMITTEE

Washington, Jan. 7.-Regardless of
what final action is taken, on the ad-
INSTABILITY to this country Of Daniel
O~'Callaghan, lord mayor Of Cork, who
arrived at Newport News Tuesday
night as q stowaway without q pass
port. Developments Of the last "a
hours appeared to- have removed all
obi acles to the achievement of the
purpose for which he came here. Ac-
.tion of Secretary Of Labor Wilson yes
terday in paroling O'Callaghan on his
own recognition was believed to have
insured free opportunity for his APP
peArance before the commission OF
the Committee of One Hundred in
vestigating the Irish question on Jan
uary II, the date Of the next meeting.
With O'Callaghan's case not yet
having been formally referred to the
state department by the department
of labor. the fact that the former de-
pnrtment. as indicated by Acting Sec
rotary Davis, was not disposed to
waive the passport restrictions in the
lord mayors favor had no bearing to-
day on his status. Declaring that the
lord mayors parole left nothing to
prevent his coming to Washington to
testify before the, commission ever
