ISKRA, in Algeria, nearly 200
miles back from the edge of the
Mediterranean, is a typical oasis
town of the near Sahara.
nd it are clustered other oases,

ness of the ai. beggar description.
‘Passing into the street of the Ouled-
Nails is a sudden ‘ransition to much
life, color and noise, the street itself
full of Arabs, young and old, while on
matting outside nearly every door sit
the Ouled-Nail girls, drinking coffee,
smoking cigarettes, and chattering
what is presumably Biskran slang at
any halting passers-by.
The Ouled-Nails, sometimes called
Almees, are girls from an oasis at
some distance from Biskra, and of
mixed Arabian and negro blood. They
are more remarkable for their singu-
larity of costume and grace of dancing
than for the rigidity of their morals.
Their faces are daubed with tar and
saffron to accentuate the color of the
Afric sun; tattooing in blue is quite
la mode, and their hair, mixed with
wool and stiffened with grease and
tar, hangs in ebon loops about the
face. They wear loose gowns of bright
cotton, and gold and silver coin, coral,
and filagree in barbarie abundance,
sometimes twenty pounds of silver
being carried in the shape of bangles,
anklets, chains, and massive girdles.
One sits in a brightly lighted, low,
white building and sips Arabian coffee
while some of the girls dance their
peculiar desert dances.
If Biskra is the political and social
center of the Ziban, and the Ziban is
the group of prosperous oases, vil-
lages extending from the foot of the
Aures mountains to the Chott-Mel-
ghir, the religious capital is Sidi-
Okba. Sidi-Okba is an oasis distant
twenty kilometers from Biskra, and is
named for that old warrior who, at
the head of a small body of Arab
cavalry, went forth to conquer Africa
in the sixtieth year of the Hedjira.
When he had extended his conquest
from Egypt to Tangier, he spurred his
horse into the Atlantic, declaring that
only such a barrier could prevent him |
from forcing every nation beyond it |
who knew not God to worship Him
only or die. In a revolt of the Ber-|
bers he was killed, A. D. 641, and

oasis which bears his name,
Going to Sidi-Okba. |
The track across the desert to Sidi-
Okba is practical for carriages. Most
of the turbaned drivers gallop their!
three horses harnessed abreast over |
the hummocks of sand and tufts of |
sage-brush till the passengers beg for |
slower pace. Soon after leaving Bis-|
kra the road crosses a stony tract a|
quarter of a mile broad, with a deep |
stream in the center, the Oued-Biskra,
and emerges on the desert. The tiny’
oasis of Beliah is passed on the right, |
the dome of a marahout’s tomb shin-|
ing among its trees. The long, low- |
lying line $f the palms of Sidi-Okba is
in the distance; the Aures mountains

always with the dazzling blue of the
sky. Herds of camels feed on the
dry sage-brush of the plain, and the
baby camels trot by their mothers in
coltish fashion.
Five other oases are passed, Chet-
nah, Droh, Sidi-Khabil, Seriana, and
Garta, and at length one approaches
the mud wall which surrounds the
sacred oasis. Four thousand Arabs
live in this village, and the mud

LOCK PROTEC1S
RAZED HOTEL BAR
Court Refuses to Lift Ban on
Famed Inn.
Milwaukee, Wis.—By a peculiar
quirk of fate, enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws {is preserving the bar-
room of the Kirby hotel, among the
last vestiges of old Milwaukee, and
the city’s oldest hostelry.
A federal padlock protects the bar-
room while the remainder of the old
structure has been razed to make way
for an office building.
The Lincoln hotel barroom also has
been preserved by a padlock. Around
it, however, an office building is be-
ing built. The space occupied by the
sealed barroom will be a court. The
Federal court refused to lift the pad-
locks, fastened because of liquor vio-
lations.
The Kirby hotel, built in 1844, was
a political rendezvous, and many ca-
reers began and ended in the coun-
cils it housed. Abraham Lincoln.
Horace Greeley, Ulysses S. Grant, Wil-
liam T. Sherman, Phil Sheridan, Rob-
ert Ingersoll and Roscoe Conklin were
among the many famous persons whose
names were on its registers.
Abner Kirby, once mayor of Mil-
waukee, was ths early owner. He
designated his 36 rooms by names.
Faded newspaper clippings tell of his
sending newlyweds to “Paradise,” the
bridal! suite, and ineébriates to the
room called *‘Hell.” He had bellboys
walk through the halls regularly snif-
fing for gas.
Kirby boasted of the comforts eof
his hotel with the slogan, “Wake me
up when Kirby dies,” which he had
embroidered on napkins and stamped
upon menu cards and stationery.
The city council has been no more
successful in removing padlocked
structures than have private con-
cerns. The city widened Cedar street
to relieve downtown traffic. The
court refused to lift its order on a
closed place so that it could be re-
moved for the street widening.
Church Kissing Cult
Gallipolis, Ohio.—That kissing is one
of the essentials of salvation is the
doctrine preached by a cult here, as
revealed in a court appeal filed with
Probate Judge John G. Evans by an
excommunicated member of ‘the
church.
The sect has been responsible for
breaking up several homes and is now
on the verge of shattering another
happy family. The pastor of the
flock, who is blind, is charged with
teaching his flock that promiscuous
kissing is hightly desirable and nec-
essary to escape damnation.
Married men kiss other men’s wives
and married women do not hesitate to
kiss other men, it is charged. The
man who gave the information to the
court said he was “read out” of the
church because he refused to kiss the
women. of the congregation. He also
said that he knocked down one mem-
ber of the church who attempted to
kiss his wife.
“Tar Heel” Farmers
Raleigh, N. C.—As a farm industry
in North Carolina, beekeeping is a
$2,500,000 enterprise.
C. L. Sams, state agricultural ex-
tension specialist, says the honey
alone is valued at that figure. Twelve
years ago it was worth only $468,-
914.16. At that time there were only
20 farmers who had 100 or more col-
onies, and not a person in the state
devoted full time to the industry. A
total of 164.956 colonies produced
4,262,856 pounds of honey.
This year there are 214,945 colonies
of bees in North Carolina and they
produced nearly 14,000,000 pounds of
honey. Due to improved conditions
the increase of 61,000 colonies boosted
production nearly 10.000.000 pounds.

Kept on Trying
Newark, N. J.—Joseph C. Braelow
is a firm believer in the principle that
if you don’t succeed try again. Once
he got a city job after taking 15 civil-
service examinations. He passed them
all—in fact, was first eight times, but
somebody else was appointed after the
first 14 tests. Now he is buying a seat
on the New York stock exchange.

Thieves Steal 54 Hens

Haverstraw, N. Y.—Louis
Hoyt, of Haverstraw, reported
to the police that thieves raided
his hen coop at daybreak, car-
ried off fifty-six hens, and left
a mean note scrawled on a
piece of paper saying that they
would be back for the young
chickens when they had grown

“Fatten them up and we will

Hoyt said the thieves also took
two large bags of corn to feed

¢JF I had a chance at two men the
way you have,” said Marie bitter-
ly, “it wouldn’t take me long to de-
cide to say yes to one of them—and
leave one for some other girl.”
Ellen stared at her friend. “But
you see, I've known both of them ever
since I was a child and sometimes I
think it's one and then again I think
it’s the other.” Her blue eyes cloud-
ed for a moment and then she smiled.
“But I know that I'll know—pretty
soon—" she paused.
“I believe that you know right now
and are just—"
Ellen looked aggrieved. “Truly, I
don’t. But I know that—"
“Bother!” interrupted Marie and
slammed out of the house.
It was Saturday afternoon and EI-
len began preparing for the evening.
Tom always took her to dinner down-
town on Saturday nights and then
they usually went to a show while
they were still downtown. And §o
on Saturday afternoons Ellen always
washed her hair and manicured her
nails with extra care for Tom, who,
although he never said anything con-
cerning her personal appearance, al-
ways had the air of regarding her
critically as she stood in the hall.
She and Tom and David McGuire
had all gone to school at the little red
schoolhouse which lay equidistant be-
tween their three hemes. Tom had
gone to the city where he had made
a definite success in the bond business
‘which his uncle had founded some
forty years before, while David Me-
Guire had stayed back in Hillstown,
where he worked hard on the farm all
summer and slaved all winter at the
little model of the potato-hiller he was
trying to perfect.
That evening she was drawing on
her white gloves under the affectionate
vet critical eyes of Tom when David
‘McGuire was announced. The men
ness that their school days warranted;
yet, Ellen thought, there was a reserve
on the part of each.
Tom wore his clothes well and was
entirely at ease; David, however, was
‘plainly from the country.
It was decided that they should all
dine together and Ellen found as they
.drove downtown in the taxi that Tom
had ordered that she had ample oceca-
‘sion to look at the two men together.
.She thought of the two proposals, so
like the men who had made them.
“I—I can’t give you much now,
honey—except love,” David said as
they had stood under a tree laden
with cherry blossoms, “but some day
the potato hiller will work out and
:then—then—” his eyes had looked far
away over the hills.
Tom’s proposal had tome while they
stood waiting for a taxicab after the
theater: “I think a whole lot of you,
Ellen, and with your looks and my
money we'll just make the little old
town hum—I can give you every-
thing !”’ .
Everything—and nothing!
Tonight she would decide. She felt
it instinctively. At dinner she said
little. Tom did the ordering easily
and she saw that David McGuire was
delighted to be relieved of the duty.
David was plainly distressed by the
silverware and Ellen found that he
watched her eagerly to see which
should be picked up first. Between
courses Tom said:
“Ever study psychology, Dave?”
David shook his head.
“I'm much interested in it,” Tom
went on easily, “psychology, mental
