CHlEFTAlM DIED LIKE HERO
Two Armies Watched Brave Arab as
He Rode Alone into the Ranks
of His Enemies.

Col. Thomas f. Lawrence, in the
Worlds Work, gives this very viYjd
description of the death of one of
his Arabian chiefs:
After some minutes Talal very slow
~ drew his beadclOth about his face
and then seemed to take hold of him
self. for he dished his srirrups 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 a 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
h0ofs 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 a 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.

Folklore of the Hair.

a heavy head of hair indicates few
If any virtues. according to folklore
gathered from many parts of the
world. The Turks claim that women
with short intellect have long hair.
The Albanians say with finality, Long
hair. little brains" Other contrib
utors say that much hair indicates I'M
governable temper and inclination to
melancholy. "If a girl has great
deal of hair she will marry poverty,
while the girl with little hair will mar
~ rich according to another source.
Curly hair is a sign Of a scold, and
also early widowhood if the hair falls
in little curls at the back of the neck.
A long and peaceful life is promised
the owner of hair that grows low on
the forehead and retreats up the side
of the head over the temples. Chest
nut or brown hair denotes fairness in
dealings. generosity, absence of de-
ceit, but unhappiness in domestic life.

BRUIN HAD SENSE OF HUMoR
No other Explanation of Animals
Taking Picture OF Hiss Enemy IN
Humiliating Flight

For a long time bears have been
known to be humorous, but not until
a few days ago was it demonstrated
that a black bear, if properly ap-
preached, will display artistic leanings,
remarks a writer in the New York
Sun. Somewhere in the dim lore OF
bruin generations there may have
been bears that had artistic inclina-
ton or the subject of this story may
lie the advance agent of new ultra
tendency in wild life. Every suppose
ton, however, fails to explain salts
factoriIy how a black bear in the viii
derness of the Allegheny park could
learn enough about camera 10 take
pictures.
Nevertheless, it is true that at least
one bear knows photography, accord
ing to K. s. Craig, u forester from the
New York State College of Forestry.
Craig is engaged by the park com
mission to assist in making study G
the timber growth iii the new state
park. Black bears have always been
plentiful in this section, where the
Allegheny river winds through the
mountains down TO the Ohio. Craig
was cruising through the forest gath
ering timber data. He left his camera
Oh d log and was looking around for
good subject To snap when he discoV-
cred Il big black bear browsing in
some berry bushes.
Craig was surprised. He neglected
to think of the camera in the concen-
trated effort to place distance be
tween himself and the bruin. He ran
Gown the trail back to the camp and
informed two companions of the pres
ence of the black bear. The three
men went back TO the spot, bat the
bear had disappeared. The camera
Craig left on the log was stin where
he placed it, but plate had been eX-
posed. This did not attract attention
until the plate was developed and
showed him in rapid flight down the
trail.

peach area are going forward rapidly
now but the great concern is about
what the railroad transportation con-
dition will be by the time the yield
reaches it's apex on August l. Should
freight service be badly impaired it
will cause thousands of dollars of dam
age to the big peach men of the Kosh-

that these conditions will be normal
by that time. The crop is the great
est in the history of the district.
