Now it came 70 pass that Connors Bey,
friend and recruiting officer Of the host Of
Will ibh Hearst sought the Sheik ul Islam,
and kissing the earth between his hands spakc,
saying:
Behold o hope Of Islam, victory will un-
failingly light upon thy standard. For, by the
beard Of the prophet, two whole days have
passed, and in that time have | received only
seven regulations from persons who insist
they have been incorrectly quoted in saying
they will support thee"
Then replied the Sheik ul Islam: "The pop
ular clamor for me wearieth me to my soul.
Noble il is to he the servant and the guide Of
the people, yet the ways Of tho statesman arc
filled with sadness and his days are clouded
with sacrifice. Il is in my mind TO flee from
it ALL"
Then quoth Conners Bey as one who hath
suddenly discovered treasures unsuspectcd.
"Lord Of immense circulation, thou know
est that the memory Of these people is
short
And Will ion Hearst nodded his head and
replied Aye"
Then said Conners Boy. again:
Wight SO not be that in thirty days, o
sheik, the people could forget many things Of
the past?"
To which the sheik ul Islam replied as be-
fore: aye"
Then spake Conners Bcy saying;
1T is my counsel 10 thee. then. thou
whose glory should ever be written in 70
point caps that thou get hence and remain
away for the time thou knowest IL taketh for
the children Of men TO forget. None, Shek
hath better knowledge Of this than thou.
Then. If thou retunest. with the past for
gotten and rise as leader OF the Righteous
and the Just, the people will accept thee with
even greater acclaim, remembering naught Of
what has gone before
Then pondered the Shoik u Islam, and said
az length:

for a time TO other lands, even across the seas

u II o, YE imsms and muezzins and null
~ lshs Of the mosques of Allah, draw
near. Assemble, o ye holy ones,
and with ye the hadji and the der
wishes touched by Allah with Madness and
give ear to the thousand and fifty-frst tale
told by the Sultana Sharazad to her lord,
Shahrysr, king Of kings, even the tale of the
silence of the Mullah Mur-fee and Of how men
strove TO break IL.
For il came to pass in the fifth year Of the
Profit that Mur-fee, the Mullah, the chosen Of
Allah, safe in the Great Mosque where the
leaders Of the faithful worshiped even the
mosque on the Street called Fourteen, and
held his counsel.
And this was time when the seed Of
Islam were harried and sore distressed by ru-
mors and fears. For some men whispered that
the throne Of the Sultan Nathan, surnamed
the curious. shook beneath him and was about
to collapse. Yet others brought word that it
was written that he would reign over all the
land for two years more.
Wherefore the people who bowed the knee
in fealty before the good Calph Hy-lan Of
the Rudy Countenance and followed faith
fully in the tracks Of his limousine murmured
and mut,ercd and sought for a leader who
might lead them forth against the Sultan
Nathan and overthrow him utterly.
Yet the Mullah Mur-fec the chosen Of
Allah, who held in his hands the fate Of men,
sstc in his own place in :he Great Mosque and
said naught. but told his beads, and thought
Of many things.
And TO him came messengers from Will
ibn Hearst the Sheik ul Islam, and the Csliph
Hy-lsn ard others who ruled over Islam by
the will Of the great Mullah, saying;
Speak. o cousin Of Mahomet and bosom
friend Of Allah. Open for US the ways Of
light and understanding and say which one Of
US shall lead the hosts of the faithful forth
to do battle against the Sultan Nathan. Speak,
oracle. and make clear the road Of the
future"
But the Mullah Mur-fee safe silent IN his
own place in the Great Mosque and his ewes
were fixed upon the beads tina. ran through
his hands, and he said nsught.

GOTHAM ARABIAN NIGHTS


Mur-fce, The chosen OF Allah, still sitteth silent
in his chamber in tho Great Mosque, telling
his beads and contemplating the infinite. And
when l questioned him concerning thy over
seas expedition he continued 70 say naught"
To which Will ibn Hearst, the Sheik ul
Islam. replied:
'Indubitably. silence meaneth consent. I
shall fare forth
And after a time the Caliph Hy-lan re-
turned from his mission also and said to his
lord:
30, Sheik ul Islam, have asked the Mullah
what shall do as thou hast bidden'
Then quoth Will ibn Hearst; "And what
said he?"
To which the good Caliph made answer:
"He kept right on saying nothing, sir"
Then answered the Sheik ul Islam; keep
thou on doing nothing, then, as is thy won't"
Then clambered Will i'm Hearst aboard
fcucca and set out upon his pilgrimage. And
as he sailed TO the unknown dangers Of the
deep past that outlying portion of the Caliph's
city, even the island called Staten, Hy-an Of
the Ruddy Counienance lifted his voice in re-
nuneiaton as farewell TO the departing, cry
ing;
u refuse to be Sultan Even II they pay
my fare TO the walls Of Albany, refuse TO be
Sultan. Yea, IL they were to elect me, even,
refuse"
And he wept overcome with emotion and
grief, upon the bosom Of his faithful wszir
the Pasha Hirshfeld. who spake soft words Of
cheer 10 his stricken lord. whispering:
There, there, heaven born don't take on
So And think how many fourishes and ruff
fes thou shalt receive when men make thee
President Of all this land. Exalted shalt thou
be then above all Governors"
And the good Caph Hy-lan Of the Ruddy
countenance took heart and was comforted.
And the Sheik ul Islam, Will ibn Hearst,
continued his voyage across the deep.
And the Mullah Mur-fee, the chosen Of Allah,
safe in his place in the Great Mosque, telling
his beads and communing with the infinite and
speaking no word TO those who sought Of him
the meaning Of portents and auguries.

THE HEATER.

One Of the signs of the times is read in theater at
tendance and the Worcester Telegram speaks Of It
thus:
I'VE. are passing through a reimbursement period in
the theater. The war prices have gone. The public
is selecting once more, after the period when any
show could come to a theater, set a S2.5 top and get
crowded houses. Good shows are still patronixed, but
Isingularly enough the houses are topheavy. No more
or interesting development is there than the
reported return of the gallery god to the theater. He
was reported to. have gone to the movies; perhaps he
moved down stairs through the war, but now he is
found back in his seats in the upper gallery-at the
good plays or the melodramas. The melodramas, too,
are coming back, billed frankly as melodrama, and are
doing good business. But the day when any company
or any star could get by with anything and charge
war prices has gone.
"The public reserves its right to examine and Judge
what it pays to buy in the show II it doesn't like the
goods offered, it stays away. The managers wiring
their hands, they weep glycerine tears because what
they PLEASANTLY nominate the suckers don't form
queues in front of their box offices, but the public, a
public which reserves its right to discriminate, and
pick and choose, is uninauenced by the lamentations.
"Given good shows, with casts as advertised, at rea-
sonable prices, and it will so to them. The truth is
the theater is in the transition stage from imitation
back to sound and normal conditions. Until it returns
to the latter, there will be waning and crashing of
teeth by the managers"

While tho using up of natural re
sources Is deplorable, still the materi-
al gains pesulting from their exploita-
ton should not be overlooked. for in
a large measure the gradual exhaus.

offset by the advances Of American In
dustries thus made possible.
1t is significant OF the peculiar con

petroleum that despite prevailing bus

WE LIVE TO LEARN.

Authorities on one thing or another arc always tell
ing us what to do or what not to do to make us happy
or better or something. In most cases they desire us
not to do the things we most want to do. For in
stance an authority on the subject says:
Zone of the dangers of life is that Of talking too
much. We don't have much trouble about what we
don't say. Extreme talkativeness comes often from
nervousness, and nervousness comes often from the
excessive use of tea and coffee. The excessive use
Of tea and coffee, especially at night, creates nervous
slpeelessness as well as nervous talkativeness. 1 beg
of you to drink one cup of tea or coffee, only, in the
morning and at noon, and none at night, and fill UP
the rest of the way on good fresh water, and you viii
find your sleeplessness and a lot Of other troubles will
disappear"
So again we must revise old beliefs as well as quit
things.
Talkativeness has heretofore been ascribed to the
drinking Of liquor and no ono ever dreamed Of blaming
tea or coffee, while sleeplessness has been charged up
to an uneasy conscience,
Apparently we live to les-n and + we could only
live long enough we might become really wise.
