THE ROBIN HOOD OF .TURKEY
Lthr. A RETIDTTLESS WAR-
FARE ON GOVERNMENT.
She( Ris rather, and Ile lade a
Vow of•Unceasing and Terrie
ble Revenge.
News lia,s lately reached this court -
try that in Anatolia, not very
from Smyrna, ,the Turldah govern-
ment has •succeeded n capturing
and putting to dealth a notorious
brigand named Tehakircijali. The
story of this man's life is one of
those clraana,tic episodes which bring
to mind the legendary lore of the
famous Robin Heed. It runs about
as follows : •
Years ago, in the reign of Abdul
Hamid II., a brigand who had made
the goverument much trouble in the
Smyrna district was offered cone
plebe amnesty if he would come to
the government ,office aad surrend-
er. He accepted the offer and eame
with his son, then a mere lad, to
au r render hiniself. . On entering
the door of the govern,ment building
he was she6 without warning.
The by turned and fled, vowing
eternal vengea,nce on the Turkish
government, In •due time the lad
grew te •manhood and gathered
aroend him a band of lawless men,
like-minded like hinaself. This band
tumbered at various times from two
_Jo three dozen men. All of them,
like TchakirdjaIi, were ereck shots
and all were armed with the newest
modern repeating rifles,
For many years this man and his
band held •sway in the mountain's
and valleys of Western Anatolia,
not far from Smyrna. The object
ef their biter animosity was mainly
the Turkish government its,elf, and
in all conflicts with soldiera sent to
capture them
THEY SHON(TED NO MERCY.
It is not denied that during the last
ten yeare at least 300 victims, most
of them soldiers, have fallen to
Tehaleirdjali's
To capture a man of this type who
knew every ravine and valley,
every crag aucl crevice in the moun-
tain distriet, was no small task,
and for many years the Turkish
• government failed in accomplishing
its object.
In spite of his bloodthirsty atti-
tude toward the governmental pow -
ere, Tolaakirdjali had a most re-
• markable side to his character. He
was profoundly religious from the
•Mohammedan viewpoint, as were
'else his followers, and they never
omitted to observe the regula,tion
prayer h,our, wherever they iedght
be. Nor was this ma,e. devoid of
sympathy with the poor, much as he
hated the predatory rich. At one
-time, riding along the Meander
Valley, he met a peasant driving in
front of him a yoke of oxen.
"Where are you going, my
friend?" said Tehakiedjali.
"My master," was the reply, 'I
am going to town to sell my oxere",
"What makes you aell your oxen?
Are they hot your m,eans of plow-
ing your farm?"
"That is true," replied the man;
"but, you see, my daughter is to be
married, and I have no mean e to
provide a dory, This is a great
'shame, and I shall sell the oxen to
provide a dowry,"
"How much do you expect to gee
for your oxen'? ' asked the bandit.
"I expect to get about-21•Iiras"
,($80).
"It is too bad," said Tchakird-
-•jah, "thus to sacrifice your means
of living. • Here are 21 liras as a•
dowry for your daughter; go home;
my son, and keep your'Oxen • but
remember this, when the weding
procession is formed it must pass
by this bridge, where we n,ow are."
"GOD BE PRAISED l"
replied the fellow; "it shall be as
you say.' '
When in due time the wedding
procession was formed, it came to
the bridge in question, and bhere
was Tchakirdjali en horseback
alone. Seeing the procession com-
ing, he rode pp to the bride, who
was on horseback, and. taking a
silver filigree necklace, he fastened
it around her neck, saying:
"God be with you and give you
peace !"
At another time this same bandit,
who fea,red neither men nor • devil,
rode into a town in the Meander
'Valley, where liv,ed three Turks who
notoriously ground the faces of the
poor. It was high neon, and the
three men were in the mosque at
prayers. Tehakirdjall went boldly
into the mosque and, tapping each
•of the three men on the ahoulcler,
• said: '
"I want to see yee outside."
All three ',GLOM OUt, IMO Wing per -

liras, and I want them new." To
No. 3, he said, "I want twelve hun-
dred liras, arid 1 want the,m now,"
No. 3 at on,ce began to make some
••excuses, when the bandit drew his
revolver and shot him. The °thee

MODERN 11,013IN HOOD
among the peasantry that not one
of them would willingly have be-
trayed hiin to the government pow-
ers,
Seine years ago thegovernment
s•ent word to our Missionaries in
Smyrna, warning them, not to go to
their ueual summer resort in the
hills, because Tehakirdjali was in
the vicinity and it eould net safe'
guard them. On this aceount the
missionaries remained in Smyrna
that season, though, under govern-
ment escort, they organized one
pieeic ep in the hills. The follow-
ing Year Tehakirdjali himself called
oe one of the missionaries and eaid
"Why did you not eome up to
your summer resort last yeer1"
The reply was that the government
had warned missionaries against
possible danger. To this he a,newer-
ed •
. "You need have no fear; you are
good people, and I shall never harm
a hair of your heads. Go up and
take your rest this summer and feel
perfectV safe,"
Relying on this word, those con-
cerned went up as usual for their
summer ' rest to their bungalows.
Seen after their arrival this" man
liiinself appeared with some ef his
followees. He associated with the
missionaries in most gracious man-
ner, and played lawn tennis with
them, keeping his guards, however,
always on the alert ag,ainet any
possible •surprise by the • army
forces of the government. One day
lieesaid : "Perhapi you think I did
not ,know where you went on your
picnic last summer. 1 knew it very
well, however, for while you were
enjoying yourselves land my Men
were
BEEEIND THE CRAGS
on the hills above you, and we
could have shot every soldier aet-
ing as your guard had we desired
to do so."
This Tchakirdjeli was only about
36 years old, and is described by an
eye -witness as 'short and stocky,
with his head held high in the air.
His features were rugged and pleas-
ing, and he had rerserles,bly expres-
sive eyes. They were brown in col-
or, ordinarily gentle and mild but
when the owner became excited or
startled the pupils dilated and. fire
seemed to flash from them. Atl
one time, when ,one of ehe mission7
aries was with the brigand at a pic-
nic, he seemed really annoyed when
he saw the earnera pointed at him.
He at once lifted his revolver and
reixtOnstrated. • Of course the cam-
era was immediately put away. The
brigandethen proposed target prac-
tice with revolvers. ,An. egg was
placed against a bank about, 30
yards ;may, and, with his revolver,
the chief of the band broke it at the
secoiad shot.
At last, however, as is always the
case with men of this type, the gov-
ernment -got the better of him'al-
though the peasantry believed that
Tchakirdjali was bullet-proof. The
present Governor Nazim Pasha de-
termined to reund him up, and em-
ployed a large band of Oirea,ssians
for this purpose. The robber band
was surrounded and, a.Eter a terri-
fic fight, leaving some of their num-
ber dead, they escaped. The head-
less body of Tchakireljali was found
by the Oircassians Oe probably have'
in.g killed himself), the robbers hav-
ing removed his heed and arms, ae
they had marks on them that would
identify them. The body was, how-
ever, identified by his wife, as also
by the.fact that, a little later on,
his head was found buried in his
father's grave.

GUILT'OF THE FORMER.
llessage on Shell Wouldn't Have

Scientists.
Arnelf Sehlosemann, living in No.
Ma.gaelenestrasse,, Vienna IV.,
conducted a small banking and
brokerage business at the same. ad-
dress. He and his family lived in
the first apartment over the bank,
His family eensisted of his wife,
two" daughters of twenty and 21, an
old cook who was stens deaf, and a
man servant, George, who acted as
footman' for the family and as mes-
senger for the bank.
One Saturday evening in March,
after banking hours, two, women
called on Schlossrnann in his apart-
mene. They were on the committee
of the Edelweiss Verein, a chari-
table society, and they and various
naenabers in different parts of the
country had managed to get toge-
ther some 100,000 crowns for chari-
table purposes. They had intended
depositing the money, but through
delay on an incoming train had not
been able to get to the bank in time.
They, therefore, requested Mr.
Sehlossmann to take eharge of this
money for them—it was all in coin
and bills—as they knew that he had
a small private safe in his apart-
ment. Mr. Sehlossinann agreed to
do this, and locked the =alley away
in the safe while the wonienetwere
still there.
Early the next morning the man
servant George came to Mr.
Schlosemann and asked to stay out
until midnight, as he wished to visit
his mother,
WHO LIVED OUT OF TOWN.
Mr. Schlossma.nn said :
"If you come in a,t midnight you
.will wake everybody. You had bet-
ter stay over till Monday morning,
if you can be in ley 10. Can you 1"
George consulted hie time -table
and said he could get in en time
on Monday. On reaching th,e, sta-
tion, however, he found the trains
had been changed, and, therefore,
he came home on th,e Sunday night
train, which brought him to the
house at midnight.
Afraid of waking the family, he
took off his heavy shoes and crept
upstairs in stocking feet. George
slept in a room off the kitchen in an
extension, and as he crept stealthily
through the hall he noticed that a
faint ribbon of light showed through
a crack of -the library door. George
pushed open the door quietly and
saw a man in the act of temoving
the bag in which the Edelweiss
money was deposited. He hurled
himself upon the intruder and call-
ed lustily -tor help. The banker
hiteself came to his aid. Together
they secured the man, whom they
recognized as a pewter who had
occasionally been employed by
Schlossena,nn in removing empty
cases and old paper from the bank.
The case seemed so very simple
that complications did not seem
possible, but the chief of police
nevertheless called in the famous
criminologist, Dr. Masaryk, that
very night, owing to the fact that a
good many robberies had been late-
ly committed in that neighborhood,
WHAT HE FOUND.
The great man asked a good many
queations'iome of which -appeared
futile to the Schrossmanns. When
alone with the Chief of police, he
said:
"Chief, Schles5nann instigated
that robbery. He hired the mart to
break into the rooms and remove
that bag ef coin."
"Impossible
,
" said the chief of
poliee. "Schless,mann is not a 13'1g
banker, but he is absolutely hon-
est.''
"Here is my case," said Dr. Mas-
aryk. "Re is in financial difficultieg
and 100,000 crowns would help him
out of th,ern, First ,of all, he got hi -
man George out of the way for the
night. Then he chloroformed his
wife and daughters, He himself an-
swered George's call for help im-
mediately, showing that he had not
been Chloroformed, for it 'took sev-
eral minutes to arouse his wife and
the two young w,ornert. Also the
cook had not been chlerofoemed.
The porter had clone to work for
the Schlossmanns fer over two
moriths, and the cook wes with them
for barely a month, so that the por-
ter could net have known that she tweet ,
was deaf, and, if he had been
boneade burglar 40 would have
ehloreformed her along with the
rest."
The porter would confess notle,
ing. Re told a seemingly frank
story, Re had overheard the Edel-
weiss women discussing on the street
their plan of leavine, the mouey
Schlossmann's charge until Monday,
and he had succumbed to the temp-
tation,
THAT WAS ALL,
A week passed, and as the e,ourts
were very busy the ease did' net
come- up. The chief of Relies and
Dr. Masaryk hoped that the man
would break down -in, the cotart when
confronted with his wife and child,
whom he had beert allowed to see
once and of whom, he seemed very
fond,
The next Sunday was Easter, and
at 9 in the morning the porter's wife
appeared, bringing with her her
little six-year-old girl. She was
told she could not see her husband
on Sunday. She began to ery bit-
terly and begged the warden to be
allowed to send her husband the
basket of Easter eggs -which her
little girl was carrying and which
the child had prepared for her
father, '
"The little one does not know
what her father has done," she
sobbed.
The warden promised to send the
porter the eggs. Just as the woman
was going out Dr. Masaryk carne in.
When he saw the eggs he demanded
to hear all that had passed.
"These eggs are unusual," he
said. "ITSually Easter eggs are
dyed blue, red, green, purple, yel-
low and pink. But these are natur-
al,eolored eggs, with little bits of
silver and gold paper cut out in the
form of stars, pasted upon them."
He instructed one of the men to
send out for some hard-boiled eggs
and silver and gold paper, and
when the eggs and paper had been
brought, lie proceeded to cut +out
little stars, making them uneven
and as anuch as possible like those
fashioned by the uncertain fingers
of the little girl. These little stars
he pasted over
THE NEWLY BOUGHT EGGS*
"This may be an unnecessary pre-
caution," he explained, "but we
will be on the safe side." •
This accomplished, he broke open
the • eggs which the woma,n, had
brought, very carefully removing
the eggshell bit by bit, so as not to
injure the filmy skin which sur-
rounds the white of the egg.
He examined the shelled eggs
carefully. Faint lines appeared on
their surface. Suddenly he cried:

AUSTRALLI'S CENSUS.
4,274,414 Persons Are Registered as
Christians.
The recently undertaken census
of -the Commonwealth of Australia
has led to the publication of some
interesting details concerning the
religious professions of the popula-
tion. Out of a total of 4,274,414 per-
sons registered as Christians the
following are allotted respectively
'to the principal denominations:
Church of England, 1,710,443;
Methodist, 547,806 ;Presbyterian
558,336; Congregational, 74,046;
Baptist, e7,074; Protestant (unde-
fined), 109,861; Roman Catholic,
921,425.
It should be noted that the total
number of men in Australia is
2,313,035, exceeding the total of
women, which is 2,141,970. There
is little discrepancy between the
numbers of women and men allot-
ted to the various Christian denomi-
nations, but Whereas We men regis-
tered the4aselves as • atheists and
7,559 as of "no relEion;" while
55,766 objected to statnig their re-

IN THE CHICKEN YARD.
The average chicken does not pay
for his keep and he should be sent
to the bloek as soon as he weighs
four pounds, unless he is to be kept
for breeding.
Let a strunge dog rush through
the poaltry yard and the excitement
will affect the egg supply for that
day.
When hens • have no sentiment
there is no doubt they are extreme-
ly nervous at times—particularly
during the breeding season—and
should be so placed that they can-
not be disturbed.
It does not matter so much about
the breed as it does about the kind
of treatment your hens receive.
Of course, if you are going in for
poultry to sell on the market you
must select the fowl that will pro-
duce the most naeat, and if for eggs
the breed .that will produce rnore
eggs than meat. Then it is "up to
you" to get the most out of them,
as the slang does.
NOTES OF THE HOG LOT,
Semetirnes a week's ehill rains
or cold vveether will set the pigs
back a month in their growth.
• After all that may be said in fa-
vor of other pastures, clover stands
at the head when it comes to the
right thing for pigs.
A great many farmers do not rea-
lize that grass supplies a feed en-
tirely different from corn and that
it is a bad practice to ehange en-
tirely and suddenly. from one to the
other.
When the pigs are taken out of
-the pasture this fall they should
not be turned suddenly into the
corn fields or fed all the new corn
they can eat. Make the change
gradually.
If a hog dies on the farm, no mat-
ter from what eause, take no chanc-
es, but remove the body a long dis-
tance from the feeding lots and
burn it.
ORCHARD NOTES.
Many growers say that weeds are
as valuable as fertilizer as clover
and cow peas if they are turned
under every year.
The grower who will sort his ap-
ples into two or more grades,
packed well, will get more money
for his fruit than the one who
throws all kinds together in a bar-
rel and places a layer of the best
ones on top.
The city dealer profits by the lazi-
ness of the grower by grading and
repacking his badly assorted fruit.
That corky eld apple, the Ben
Davis, still holds a high price in
the city markets because its fine ap-
pearance deceives the ignorant
buyer.
INVISIBLE INK SECRETS.

FEVER GEM'S IN VEGETABLES
Very Scarce. Unless GrOW11. Under
Unsanitary Conditions.
Recent experiments showing that
vegetables may act as vehicles of
typhoid fever sounds alarming, un-
til the whole story las been told,
and then it is understood that while
this is true, the chances of contag-
ion by m.earts of vegetables is so
slight that there is little to worry
about.
Soil was inoculated with fecal xna-
terial containing typhoid germs and
radishes and lettuce .planted in it.
Some of these plants were kept in.,

It was found that after twenty-five
days the plants that were grown in-
doors had typhoid germs on the
leaves and stems, while it was thir
ty days before the germs were found
on the leaves and stems of, plants
grown ent CI- doors.
All this was merely by way of ex-
periment and preyed nothing, as
far as danger to the consumer is
oncerned, inasmuch as the soil in
which the planta were grown was
first ezirefelly inoculated with the
dread germs.
This naturally would not happen
in the average garden, and espe-
cially in the great track gardens
where so much ef the produce is
raised for cite, consumption. There
is a poesibility, however, that vege-
tables growing too near a sink
drain in the country or too near the
stable yards might possibly acquire
some of these germs.
There are few vegetables ever
planted in such localities even away
in the country, while modern sani-
tary systems de away with even the
sink drain plots and the stable
yard. So that while the result of
this experiment sounds "seary" at
first, no one should worry in the
least about dangers of typhoid from
vegetables, especially eince there
are a thousandfold greater dangers
of contagion about us every day, ihe
eornmen house fly, for instance, be-
ing one of these examples.
