And Sinbad bowed to leave and colided with
one who entered crying:
20 great Sultan, 7 bring the proofs Of thy
speech accepting the renomnation"
Then Sindbad, the sailor and visitor in
strange lands, went hence and sought q quiet
place and remained long in thought. Yet were
his cogitations interrupted by dervsh who
danced madly before him, crying in a hoarse
voice:
"Willi, Will, vote for Wilt"
And Sindbad asking whereof he spake. the
dervish gave answer:
"Of Will ibn Hearst the next Sultan 10

and elections are but dry formalities now. for
Will, the august, the noble, the omniscient

and purposes Sultan and /, Conners Bey. am

Then came relief to the breast Of Sindbad
and ne girded up his loins and hastened hence
and sought the house of the Sheik ul Islam
who greeted him with joy and fell on his neck
and brought forth frankincense and mvrrh.

Welcome, stranger and what county nm

Then quoth Sindbad, holding his brow with
orc hand and his chin with the other:
"And who is to rule this realm, Sheik
when the Sultan Nathan layeth down the reins
of government"
Whereat Will ibn Hearst made answer:
None other than the good Caliph Hy-lan."
And Sinbad went forth into the night and
safe long time on a bench and pondered until
Mameluke of the citys guard came and or

Then grasped the great traveller the sleeve

And the Mameuke gave answer: "Perchance

Ian, or peradventure the Sheik Will ibn
Hearst"
Whereat Sindbad spake: "All these have I
seen, and, behold, hone of them will admit that
he longs for Office"
And the MameIuke replied. "oh, simple
SOUL, If one of them did, the people, having
knowledge of the words and faith of politi-
clans, would straightway be certain that he
who professed desire for the post did not wish
it,"
And Sindbad said: "It's foolish"
But the Mameluke quoth: "It's politics"

Whereat, the good Caiph inflated himself
with substantial breath and spake, saying:
Nothing is further from my thought and
desire. Behold, / am cor the people and desire
no exaltation. Perish the thought! I am
against the interests, and it is my wish to re-
main and guard the veal of the common folk.
Sultan me no sutans The idea is repugnant
to me-"
And Sindbad salaamed and made as if to re-
tire, but the Caliph Hy-lan spake once more
in lower tone, saying: "In the far land from
which thou comest, hast thou learned of any
charm or rune whereby one might obtain
nomination for ofice--such as that of sultan
of the realm2'
Then answered Sindbad "Nay, august per-
soniication of the poppy" Whereat he de-
parted, leaving the Caliph mournfu
And he questioned those in the bazaar, say
ing: Who is it who shall rule over this realm
when the Sultan Nathan completeth his term?''
Then responded he thus addressed: "None
indeed but the Sultan Nathan himself"
And Sindbad, filed with zeal, sought the
presence of the Sultan Nathan and bowed be-
fore him, saying:
Lord, inform journeyer from far land.
Art thou he who will reign as Sultan over this
land for two years more?"
And the Sultan Nathan shuddered as doth
the shelk ul Islam, Will ibn Hearst, when
one mentioneth the name of Haroun al Smith
and spake, saying:
Allah forfend! BY no means, and under
no consideration. Speak not to me Of nolitics

SST YHE war done lot fer the Turks
h anyhow" remarked Marty Nc
u Mahon, the retired bartender.
Everybody used to call 'em un-
progressive, but you can't say that about em
no more They've progressed from Armenians
to Greeks.
y "They should-a stuck to the Armenians,
3 They was gluttons fer punishment, The more
Of em was massacred the more they was that

an fake jewelry an lace an such like an
then went back home to get massacred
'It seemed like an Armenian was lonesome
an homesick without he could look forward
to bein' massacred good the next mornn, an
he had to get back where things was natural.
I've seen blacks up around Eighth Avenue,
where they wasn't no lynchings at all, just as
anxious to get back to Georgia.
"Once fella gets used to a thing, whether
it's booze massacring or lynchng it's hard
fer him to do without it. That's what makes
1t seem SO queer that the Turks give us mas
sacring Armenians all OF a sudden. You
wouldn't think that they could break them
selves of habit like that.
There's only two possible ways to done It
out, the way look at it. Either they run outa
Armenians or else they give 'em up fer Lent
or whatever corresponds to Lent in Turkish
at this season O the year.
But Greeks Is different You can't eo
KILN off Greeks, especially Greeks all organ
lied into an army, like them Turks has been
doin, without attractin' lot of attention
Such q change OF habits is bound to make

Not only does Il get England pretty sore
but it sets half the Balkan countries to think
In that IL the Turks can HEX the Greeks they
can, too. An the other half Of the Balkan
countries is thinkin' that If they don't step in

"There was fella come in the old place on
Tenth Avenue every evenin' fer fifteen years,
an he always took dash of mulligan in his,
till one night he says he believes it give him

see him get ahead. But those who begrudge
him any success he may have--and a loud,
noisy lot they are-strive by every means i'll
their power to distract him from his high
purpose. How can he concentrate? He can
hear siren voices singing the praises of hot
roasted peanuts or ice cold pop. But they are
not for him. He must bend all his energies
to the task in hand, for if he fails he will be
the victim of such hue and cry as will seri-
ously reflect on his reputation and good name.
Let us turn from this hurly-burly to the
clustered calm of the golfing green, where is
similarly critical situation. Two gentlemen
are engaged in putting on the greensward.
At respectful distance stands the gallery
which has been out walking in the sun with
the gentlemen. This might be the forest pr-
meval, though the pines and hemlocks wouldn't
dare murmur. The silence of the grave per-
vades. You could hear pin drop, if the
caddy that Is holding it were to court death
by doing So One of the gentlemen communes
with Nature, or at least that portion Of it in
the form OF blades Of grass that lies between
his ball and the cup. The other gentleman,
who has him down, as they say in golf, does
nothing to disturb his reverie. Finally the
time for action arrives It is such a still mo-
the minister has reminded that it is more
blessed to give than to receive-that quiet
which is shattered by the fumbling Of the dime
which mother is contributing via little Willie.
Nothing Of the sort happens here on the
green. And il there is any roofing from the
gallery it is in the form of silent prayer
Then the gentleman puts. If success is his,
he is the recipient of decorous applause If
he fails there will be slight signing sound,
such sympathy as Is in order when a naughty
bad table corner bumps baby
Tennis is more bosterous-too much so of
late, to judge from the chiding given gal
leries at several fall matches 1t seems that
the spectators had q preference, which they
were scarcely adept in cloaking. They went
to the extent Of applauding when player
made an error. Perhaps they were applaud
ing the shot OF their favorite that caused the
making of the error by her opponent, but that
could not be accurately estimated 1t would
have been safer, after all, if they had put it
in writing.
Those who watch such a strenuous game as
tennis is always have been fairly restrained
in their demonstrations, but enthusiasm got
away with some and they were scolded. With
things going the way they were it was to be
feared that some persons would be guilty of
foot-fault, as they say in tennis. on the
bounds of propriety. When to applaud in
tennis and how much is indeed fine art.
