SULTAN HAD WRONG TITLE
Al Raschid the Just Could Listen to
Complaint of Outraged Widow
Without Feeling.

The title to the name of Al Raschid
the Just is sullied by his extirpation
of the generous, perhaps the innocent,
Bermecides, Yet he could listen to
the complaint Of poor widow who
had been pIllaged by his troops, who
dared, from passage in the Koran,
to threaten the inattentive despot with
the judgment of God and posterity.
Al Raschld was the third sultan Of
the line of Ambascides. He was a
contemporary Of Charlemaue, TO
whom he sent an embassy with a
present Of fatnods clock, which,
when put in motion By means of a
iclepsydra, pointed out the hours,
struck them By dropping little balls
on bell or drums and caused littls
doors to open. and number Of knights
on horseback to come out as cor
responded with the hours. He was

claims of the sultan to be the sue
cessor of Mohammed, and hence, in a
more exalted sense, the vicar of God.
