GRA lFT THE OM

Menton* That illustrates he Way
of the► Far Eaut.
I had had experience with a ruptibl
Turkish officers, and one d y wimp
barrack conditions became u iendara•
bre I went to the officer eom ending
our division, an old Arab from Leta.
Wets who bad been called from retire -
anent at the time of the mobilization,
He lived in a little tent near the
mosque, where I found him squatted
en the floor nodding drowsily over his
comfortable paunch. As he was an
officer of the old regime, I entered bold-
ly, squatted beside him and told him
my troubles. The answer came evith
an enormous shrug of the shoulders.
"You are serving the sultan. Hard-
ship should be sweet."
"I should be more fit to serve him if
I got more sleep and rest."
Ine waved a fat hand about the tent.
"Look at me! Here I am, an officer
of rank and"—shooting a knowing look
at me -"I have not even a nice blan-
ket."
"A crime! A crime!" I interrupted.
"To think of it, when I, a humble
soldier, have dozens of them at home!
I should be honored if you wouldallow
me"— ?4y voice trailed off sugges-
tively.
"How could you get one?" be asked.
"Oh, I have friends here in Saffet,
but I must be able to sleep in a nice
place."
"Of course. Certainly. What would
you suggest?"
"That hotel kept by the Jewish
widow might do," I replied.
More amenities were exchanged, the
upshot of which was that my four
friends and I were given permission to
sleep at the inn—a humble place, but
infinitely better than the mosque. It
was all perfectly simple. Alexander
&aronsohn in Atlantic Monthly.
MILLION ACRE FARMS.
Those Are the Kind, as a General Rule,
They Have In Mexico.
In the United States the farmer is a
humble person. In Mexico he is a king
of millionaires. You look out across a
level plain and you see a magnificent
house of stone, cement and great tim-
bers, covering sometimes as much as
half an acre. Surrounding it are oth-
er houses, hundreds of them, but all
small, constructed of adobe, brush or
even of cane stalks. You are not Ionise
ing at a town, but at a ranch settle-
ment. In the great house, which costs
many times more than all the little
houses put together, live the hacien-
dado and his family. In the little
houses live the peons.
The typical farm in Mexico Is not of
100 acres, but, of 1,000,000. In the
dadoi, f'nall the, agricultural lands,
twelve own nine -tenths' of them. The
territory of Quintana Roo, double the
size of Massachusetts, is divided
among eight companies. The greater
portion of the state of Yucatan is held
by thirty men, kings of sisal hemp. A
major fraction of the agricultural and
grazing lands of Chihuahua is owned
by one family. Lower California,
equal in size to Alabama, is nearly all
held by five great corporations.
The 1,000,000 acre farms lie mostly
fallow. Naturally a rich agricultural
country, Mexico does not produce
enough corn and beans to feed her
own peon population. Modern ma-
chinery is needed, but modern ma-
chinery will never be used extensively
so long as the peon is so cheap that
primitive methods are cheaper than
machine methods.—World Outlook.
Drum Fire and Curtain Fire.
"Drum fire" and "curtain fire" are
modern war terms. "Drum fire" is the
firing of artillery at stated intervals,
the resultant noise being described as
like the steady hammering of a great
drum. When the desired effect of re-
ducing the point of the attack has been
accomplished the guns are elevated to
a higher point and are fired continuous-
ly, making a "curtain of tire" to pre-
vent re -enforcements reaching the point
of attack from the rear and at the same
time allowing the infantry to attack
under protection of the guns.
Practical Religion.
The story is told of a little house-
maid, far over the sea, who, when
asked whether she realized that she
was in any way different after uniting
with the church from what she had
been before, thought for an instant
and then, smiling brightly, said, "Well,
I sweep the corners." She could hard.
ty have given a better demonstration
of the reality of her religious life.—
