Ii. C'ottin ||{ WATCH i|| L. COTTI AN UNHAPPY NAN. IS ABDUL HAMID. , Dwei twl by His Sons, Despised by His Former Friends, Vet Fears to Die. Wanders , About His Pirson and Lire* in Dread of Assassination. A remarkable account of the Intense unhappineas of the deposed 8ultan Abdul Hamld, received from the authentic source in Salonika, Is published by the "Lokalanxelger," which states that the former despot fears for his own life as much as ever. In consequence of his apprehension that his enemies aim to assassinate him he carefully avoids showing himself at either of the windows of the,Villa Allatlni, wherein he has been imprisoned since he was deposed nearly eighteen months ago. He believes that he might be shot from without if one of his pursuers caught sight of him. His thin, bowed figure wanders Neither entreaties nor urgent advice regarding the danger to his health from remaining permanently indoors, nor stringent medical orders, can induce Abdul Hamid to leave the house and take exercise in the garden. He not only refuses to leave the house, but remains stubbornly on the first floor of the villa. He refuses to descend to the ground floor, believing that there is a danger of bombs being concealed in the eel In r. Likewise he refuses to ascend to the second floor, because he fears that the villa might be set on fire and that he might perish before escape was possible. Trembling day and night for his life, the unhappy ex-Sultan leads a miserable existence. He never undresses and he suffers from insomnia. A Wanderer at Night. 1 during the night from room to room 01 until finally he drops exhausted to f *1' fitful slumber on some ottoman out a During the daytime he works as a cb carpenter. He recently completed 1 'D * a large wardrobe. Curiously und- onough, he has a burning desire to lharle no^ ^ much It appears, to > -earn money as to convince himself that his manuel labor can produce i. J i sjjomething worth buying. a'' Abdul Hamid hears nothing whate -ever of events happening outside 'r ' 1 the walls surrounding the villa * grounds. Neither he himself nor his two wives nor the servants who followed him into captivity are allowed to read any newspapers. Ab^ ,-\dul Hamld's keen wish to ascer'tain what is happening in the world fed him to attempt to bribe one oi the warders, to whom he offered $500 for the latest newspapers When warders or officers speak to him the ex-Sultan tries to starl conversation with them, but the) have orders to listen to his questlonr, but to give indefinite re ? > wiles . An Intensely Ijonely Man. Sometimes he sits hour after houi ountj deep jn melancholy meditation. Recently, when the officers on dut) Ann orotlllntod K(m J ww.g. ?t.H.?VVU I11UA VJkl U ID Ull lllUftJ Abdul Hamid wept and said: "1 was once a great Sultan and therefore you can only mock me when was once a great Sultan, and thereyou congratulate me In my humiliation." Abdul Hamid Is Intensely lonely.

It is | no exaggeration to describe Abdul Hamid as the most unhappy man in the world. The Last Item. A wealthy woman of Chicago had hired a man to make an Invintory of her household goods. He started in the dining-room and he went from there to the parlor. He had been In this room for some time, longer than It was necessary. The mistress of the house investigated. She found him asleen stretched out -on the parlor couch, a bottle of old rye In his hand and the book of Inventory on the floor. Picking up the book Bhe noticed the last Item. It read, "One revolving carpet" entered in a very unsteady hand. ? ^iii? ? The Last Stop. One cold, wintry morning a man of tall and angular build was walking down a steep hill at a quick pace. A piece of iee under the snow caused him to lose control of his feet; He began to slide and was unable to stop. At a crossing half way down he encountered a large, heavy woman. The meeting was sudden, and before either realized it a collision ensued and both were down hill, the thin man underneath, the fat woman on top. When the bottom was reached and the woman was trying to recover her breath and feet, these faint words were borne to her ear, "Pardon me, madam, but you will have to get off here. This is as far as I go." Through the Telescope. The Rev. John S. Lyon a short time ago told a story in Boston which ran about as follows: "An old lady who on shipboard was about to cross the equator for the first time went to the captain very anxiously and said: 'Captain, can I see the equator? 1 should very much like to.' "The captain smiled and replied, , after thinking for a moment: 'Peri haps I can arrange it; I'll try to do ( so.' "Shortly afterwards, as the ves , sel neared the 'great line,' the cap. tain hastily summoned the old lady . on the deck. "Handing her the glass, 'Now,' [ said he, you may see the equator If > you look steadily and carefully I through the glass.' "Then pulling a hair from his , red head, the captain held the hair [ j In front of the glass which the old f lady was Intently gazing through. "Then he asked her: 'Do you . see the equator, madam?' "Still looking through the glass, she was at first silent, and then exr claimed: 'Oh, yes, yes, certainly? , and, oh captain, there is a camel pro wllno nn " ' " " ?- ? u |/ v/iic oiue ui it. tiXchange.
