But you might as well have said, that they are insubordinate, fanati cal and bloodthirsty. The one is as true as the other, says the Boston Transcript The fact is, the Turkish army is homogeneous in but one respect Its religion. All are Mussulmans. No Christian dog is suffered to fight un der the green banner of the prophet For the rest you have all the Moslem races of the hither east Albanians, Circassians, Syrians, Arabs, Negroes, OsmanllB or true Turks messing it together. But it is not liationallty alone that makes the Turkish army so iceedingly "various." It is the world wide contrast between the separate branches of the service.

The six years up, the time-expired man be comes one of the great army of re serves. He may go back to his sheep pen and his opium garden. But for eight years he is at all times liable to be called out to fight by imperial de cree. Theoretically he is called out every other year for a month's in struction. But as a matter of fact the londltlon of the exchequer prevents this. At the close of the eighth year the Turkish soldier passes to the militia, or Mustahflz, or Landsturm. He is now 34 years of age, which, for a toil ing peasant, is middle-aged, and he is not so agile as he once was. So he is rarely called upon to go into the field, being reserved for local or frontier defense. None the less, there is noth ing to prevent his being pressed into actual" service in the event of real war. As for the men' who escape conscrip tion, even they do not altogether wade military duty. Such of them at 'east are as able-bodied must drill once t week In their own homes under the 'utelage of a member of the Redifs. They learn the manual of arms, tac ;ics and target practice, so that in :ase of need, they, too, may be added N the Turkish forces.

They are organized 'nto the Hamadle cavalry, named in 'onor of the Biiltan, permitted to live in their own places and jn time of war let loose upon the enemy. The man who goes into the regular vmy is temporarily un-Turked. He "learns to keep his rifle and himself Just so." His uniform plain blue to nic, blue trousers, tucked into top Vots, red fez is Bpeckless. His can vas knapsack is bllndlngly white. His Xauser repeater slopes over his shoul der at precisely the right angle. His p is brisk, elastic. In short, be is model of a modern soldier man. An Idea Worth imitation.

No meats of any kind are eaten by the followers of Conable. No breakfast is eaten except raw products, such as whole wheat, sliced tomatoes, etc. As a rule, the members of the colony do not eat any morning meal at all. Conable himself says that he never eats a meal of cooked food. Their religion is likewise extraor dinary. Conable sayB: 'The Pathfinder (name of sect) doea not believe in the existence of a per sonal God. It believes that God is the universal life force that permeates every living thing. It believes that it is possible for man to so perfect himself physically as to come in absolute har mony with the soul and live eternally la fleRh." This latter statement that one can live forever If proper treatment Is tauen of one's self is sincerely believed by many members of the colony and those who are taking up their homes on the crest of the Ozarks think that they will be here when Gabriel blows his horn. At least they profess to have such belief. BLACK FOREST WEDDING. ' Civile Wore a llenil-lrei nnrt fJown Vlilfh I'roveil n Surprise fo riirrlun (iueftla.
