the part of the Arabs. However, when Mr. Porterfield inquired into (the matter, he found that the Bedouin tired of fighting with the Turks and said to himself, "I'll try fighting with the Englishman. He is an agreeable fellow, and perhaps will admire my fighting style greatly."
Fighting with the Turks was an intermittent affair with him. He didn't work at it regularly, but only when fighting happened to suit his fancy. When he went over to the other side and fought with the British against the Turk, he carried on in the same manner, grinned in pleasure when he was hailed by the Englishmen as a great, brave man, and, when he tired of the game, quit and went back to his desert.

A traveler tells this story of one sheik in particular, who greeted an English officer in a friendly manner at his camp one day, invited him in and, in his native politeness, extended him coffee, the nargile, and what other courtesies -lie could.
The visitor explained as tactfully as he could that he had come on a mission of tax-collecting.
The sheik could hardly believe it. He laughed and told his caller that he was a droll fellow. The tax-collector protested that he was not joking—that he was quite serious in demanding taxes.
"But I pay no taxes!" exclaimed the sheik. "Of course, I pay no taxes. You are a pleasant fellow, and I am friendly toward you but I pay no taxes."
The collector good-humoredly said that of course the sheik must pay, tried to explain the theory of the matter, the "justice" of it, and departed.
The following night he was called to the gate of the city by a messenger who said the sheik wanted to see him. The Briton set forth, accompanied by a guard. The sheik, mounted and accompanied by a small band of men, inquired again if the Britissh Gov-
ernment was serious in demanding taxes from him. The officer said the British Government was.
The sheik was annoyed and grieved. He presently became abusive and ordered the tax-collector to go back to his office and to stay there and to make no more attempts to collect taxes. The Englishman, becoming somewhat nervous, made a move to arm himself with his revolver. The Bedouin promptly shot him. The guard also made a false move and also was shot. Whereupon, the Bedouins wheeled their horses and their white robes flying behind them, galloped away into the desert.
What can be done with such people? Collect taxes by force? Those who know the Bedouins are skeptical as to whether the British will ever be able to make these desert men pay.
Meanwhile, the Bedouin lives as he has lived for centuries, indifferent to what the outside world thinks of him, knowing that he does at his own bidding and at no other person's, and remains a free men—an exceedingly free man. He is free of civilization's bonds, but he is free of civilization's comforts, too.

THE PAWNEES.
'The Pawness were never disciplined in a military sense. On one occasion when they were to start on a scout early in the morning, three day's rations had been issued to them. They ate every ounce that night and had nothing

to eat until the afternoon of the second day, when they shot a few antelope.
They obeyed orders and suggestions preliminary to a combat, but in a charge or sudden attack they reverted to their own methods and were whirlwinds in a fight. Major North stated that in an engagement near Wood River, Nebraska, where the Sioux were completely surprised, the scouts charged, firing their repeating carbines,',flung them aside when empty, used revolvers in the same manner and wound up the fight with bows and arrows. They had to go over the field afterward to recover discarded weapons.
A pawnee stripped for action and in war-paint was a striking object. The head was shaved excepting a narrow ridge of hair in the middle that stood erect like a roached mane from the forehead to the crown where it ended in a scalp lock. A large circle about each eye was filled in with black, the rest of the face and portions of the body were streaked with vermillion and yellow. At a short distance their faces resembled decorated skulls.
THE WRONG EYE.
"Ah," said the doctor, looking into one eye, "it is easy for me to see what is the matter with you! This is not merely eye trouble; it is an affection of the nervous system. There are all the signs of liver trouble, of fatty degeneration of the heart, of a bad blood supply. The only thing I can recommend is-^"
"Here, here!" cried the patient. "Isn't it about time you looked into the other eye? That's my glass one, you know."

A young man and a maiden were playing golf and had reached a hole where the green lay on the top of a little hill. The youth ran up first to see the lie of the balls.
"A stymie!" he shouted. "A dead stymie!"
"Whereupon the young woman, who was very much of a novice, came up with a sniff. "Well, do you know," said she, "I thought I smelled something as I was walking up the hill."
