Telltale Bibles.
A dealer lu secondhand books adver
tised the other duy for old Bibles be
longing to three families that have
lately come Into prominence.
"Do they want them as heirlooms?"
asked a customer who had read the ad
vertisement "Not a bit of It." said the 'dealer.
"They want the Bibles because they
contain a record of births; consequent
ly they reveal ages women's ages, pre
sumably. Very often dealers In old
books are asked to look up Inconven
ient documentary evidence of that kind.
Before days of affluence tho family Bi
bles got lost In tbe shuffle of moving
around. Nobody thought much about
the loss then, but with the advent of
prosperity the books could easily be
come a source of mortification to many
women if they happened to fall Into
the hands of malicious persons; hence
the frantic attempts to gather all such
records Into the family." New York

HOW ARABS FIGHT.
Ttair Aim li to Wound an Enemy, Nt
to Kill Him.
"A striking point in the Arab'i char
acter," writes a traveler of what be
aw In Mesopotamia, "Is bis intense
dislike of bloodshed and savagery.
The tribes of the Jailrnh are continual
ly at war, and. as I hare had plenty of
evidence to the contrary, I think It,
would be absurd to accuse tnem ot
cowardice, but no one who has seen
them or talked to them can fall to bs
struck wltb their extraordinary lack of
vlndlctlveness and their wonderfully
merciful way of fighting. An Arab
lifvtri uguis w sviii. ci is uujijvus niv w
capture, to Incapacitate or to frighten
into BUumissiUD. niwiii, 11 is true, uo
a great amount of material damage
bnrn villages and ruin crops but he
wilt never take life unnecessarily or
refuse quarter and never, as far as I
know, beat or ill use a prisoner. On
the other hand, a desert Arab will rob
and tyrannize over his weaker neigh
bors In a peculiarly ruthless way and
always do his best to make agriculture
Impossible.
"Their method of fighting Is almost
entirely confined to the use of tbe
lance, which is carried javelin wise, the
lance Itself being a light bamboo some
eighteen or twenty feet In length, with I
a long knlfelike bead. A band of !
horsemen from 200 to 800 In number
comes swooping down on tbe herds of I
the enemy, some driving off succor
while others carry stray1 fhe booty, j
The defense of the herds against these
attacks Is similar, a swift pursuit and I
an endeavor to draw off tbe marauders
being the usual method. Generally the
advantage lies with the attacking
force, as the defenders usually look to
recouping themselves by a similar at
tack rather than to recapturing the lost
herds Immediately. The reason Is that
the marauding party If bard pressed
might hustle tbe captured animals un
duly and mode them almost worthless.
"The rules of war In the Jaxlrah are
as strictly and decently observed
among Arabs aa by tbe white and red
knights In 'Alice In Wonderland.' To
kill an enemy In battle is discreditable
and savage. To wound slightly is
what is aimed at, and to wound a man
lightly with a bamboo lance twenty
feet long Is no small feat of skill. To
surrender is not discreditable. Flight
is aa Justifiable as attack. To carry on
warfare at night would be scandalous
and shameful or, if we choose to take
a cynical view, productive of Incon
venient reprisals. Camps, as far as I
could ascertain, are practically out of
bounds for a similar reason. Warfare
In the Jaxlrah is an elaborate form of
sport
"I have yet to bear a Bedouin speak
Ul of his enemy, even though he may
have had the worst of it himself. In
deed, as far as I could see, there was
as little personal animus between he
reditary foes as exists between two
elevens of cricketers. Of course,, at
times regrettable things are done, but
the occasions are very rare indeed
The only really discreditable aspect of
the Intertribal warfare is tbe ruthless
way in which tbe Bedouins of tbe
shepherd tribes plunder the poor agri
cultural dependents of their antago
nists, who, having neither arms nor
horses, are Incapable of defiance."

HIS LITERARY HIT.

Tvai called "The Marya and

One year went by; 'twaj dimmatlseaL
The crIUcs ail were much eurpiiessd
When public, pulpit and the prees
Declared It waa a huge success.
The author, too, waa greatly moved
At seeing what a hit It proved.
He took, though, with all loyalty

The second year It whooped along,
Transofrmed Into a comic song;
Also In expurgated form
It took the goodly folk by storm.
The third year added to his fame.
The tale was made a parlor game.
The book. Instead of thinning out.
Was winning out.
The fourth year It was lMtured on.
With slides In a stereoptlcon.

"I got a neat rebuke for my curi
osity once, said a well known Balti
more man, "and It was administered
by a native of the Cheat river region
In West Virginia.
"I had stopped overnight In the dis
trict In question and In tbe morning
was strolling about the place, asking
all sorts of questions. Presently I met
a lanky mountaineer, wbo greeted me
with 'Howdy' and passed tbe time of
day most pleasantly. Seeing that he
waa barefooted, a circumstance. It
seemed to me, quite odd in a mountain
ous region, I asked:
'Is it the custom of this country for
the men to go without shoes?'

It Kept Them Away.
Bow to warn off trespassers with
out spring guns has been discovered
by a canny peasant in the south of
France. His woods were Invaded by
nut pickers. He asked a botanical
friend the Latin name for the hazel
nut and put up the following notice:
"CaotiofL All persons entering this
wood do so at their own risk. The
Corylus avellana abounds here ss well
as other equally venomous snakes."
Not a trespasser has ventured into the
wood since.
"1 cannot part your hair, my friend;
It seems most dreadful stubborn."

Which I. myself, can't govern."
