TURKISH HUMOR. Much of it Hinged Around One M Famous Old Character. Turkish anecdotes are very short, and most of them cluster about a H worthy who is said to have lived in hi the fourteenth century, and whose se tombstone is pointed out in Konia. ji He was a teacher, or hodja, called ti Nasr Eddin Hodja. He seems to H have had two distinct personalities, ci judging from the stories; for one h? set make him appear shrewd, crafty j and even wise, and the other set stu- ye pid and foolish. I^et's look first at some of the stupid stories. ye One day Xasr Eddin Hodja said to m his wife, "Tomorrow, if it is pleasant, I shall work in the garden; but if it be is unpleasant. I shall work in the house." His wife added, piously, be "inshallah!" that is. "If God wills." es He replied, obstinately, "No, Allah d< has nothing to do with it. It must a^ be either pleasant or unpleasant. If nr. it is pleasant, I will work in the gar- in den: and if it is unpleasant, I will work in the house." His wife shook ee her head at this impiety, but said ci nothing more. That night a party di of soldiers came and took Xasr Eddin Hodja away to work for them. m It was a pleasant day. but he did ne not work in the garden. When he T] got through his work he went sadly .M home, and his wife being abed, he m knocked at the door "Who's there?" at she cried. "It's your husband, in- he shallah," replied a meek voice. "Xo my husband never says inshallah," th she replied, and turning on her ear, he went to sleep. ga Another time Xasr Eddin Hodja ie: cried to ms woie. w lie, wiie euuit; ?>here! the moon has fallen Into the re well." She rushed to the well and looking down and. sure enough, the ar moon was floating on the water, ur "We must get it out." said the hodja; fo "bring me a rope and hook." So she at brought them and they let them into re the well. The hook caught on a stone, aiid Xasr Eddin and his wife th pulled and pulled. Suddenly the i in: stone gave way and the two fell flat! of on their backs. As they lay there the j he hodja cried, "See, wife, we have put | he it back again," and sure enough \ Hi there was the moon once more in the wl sky. tii All Ottomans, whether Turks, Ar- lal menians or Macedonians, tell these ck stories with infinite relish and never seem to tire of them. Here is another hi< popular one: an One day Nasr Eddin Hodja was ha sitting on the branch he was sawing he off the limb. A passer-by called to in him, "Look out! You'll fall." The hodja paid no attention, but went on wi sawing and, when the limb fell, he re halls and parlor were very tastily lie after the man and said. "Please tell sa me when shall I die." The man re- 8n plied, "Do I know," Xasr Eddin an said. "But you prophesied that I would fall; now prophesy when I shall die." tlr Of the anecdotes of the stupid co hodja, the following has a delicious a^ Irish flavor: Ph One night Xasr Eddin Hodja ea thought he saw a burglar in his room, and shot at him. In the morn- ed ing he found that he had sent an ar- oc row through his own shirt, which las hung in the window. Falling on his tei knees, he prayed fervently, "I thank thee. Allah, that I was not in that shirt."?Hester D. Jenkins, in the Outlook. ? thi Refused to I>rink More, Killed. an lie Athens, Ga., Sept. 20.?Because ^ lie wouldn't take the seventh sue- . to cessive drink with his companions, Horace Denton,aged about 20 years, ex was stabbed to death last night at an the Southern Manufacturing Company's factory near this city?the , stabbing said to have been done by .

H / BLOWS UP FAMILY. < an Gathered Family in One Boom . and Threw Explosive. Bloomington, Ind.,Sept. 19.?Mack urst, a stone mason, dynamited his , Diise here early today, killing him- ] If and one daughter and fatally in- . iring two other daughters, in addi- .] on to demolishing the house. Mrs. , urst, in a remarkable manner, es- , iped injury. Hurst is believed to ( ive been insane. I The dead are: Mack Hurst, 50 ; jars old: Maud Hurst, 16 years old. Fatally hurt: Fannie Hurst, 13 , jars old, one leg blown off and body , angled, almost unrecognizable. ( Elizabeth Hurst, six years old, ] >dy mangled. But little is known of the tragedy t jyond the results. Mrs. Hurst, who ] scaped injury, how, she says, she | ? )es not know, says that the man J \ voke the family at 2 o'clock this , orning and told them all to gather < his bedroom. ] After they had all entered he clos- < 1 and locked the door and spoke llv these five words: "We will all \ e together." . Then he picked up a stick of dyna- . ite which was lying on the floor { ?ar him and threw it under the bed. ? here was a deafening noise and j rs. Hurst remembered nothing j ore until she came to consciousness , the home of a neighbor nearly an | j )ur later. ( The noise of the explosion awoke e whole city. Police and firemen ( tstened to the scene and at once be- t m to search of the ruins. The bod- z s of Hurst and his dead daughter | r *re found in a mass of debris at the j } ar of the home. \ The two other daughters were in j ^ lOther part of the ruines. Both were t iconscious and it was some time be- t re they were revived. Neither was c ile to tell anything of the occur- ;g nee. j s 1 IZ SHUCK U1 lilt* tAJUUSiUU n Ictftcu ; je house and was felt in the whole! c imediate neighborhood.

It is supposed that r suddenly became worse and while j a frenzy committed the act. Hurst had been separated from his | fe for six weeks and vesterdav she j I 3 fused to take him back. It is be- ^ ;ved that he then, in a fit of in-1 ^ nity, determined to wipe out the 3 tire family consisting of his wife d eight children. The dead girl met the fate intend- j ^ for her mother, and the fact that | ey had changed beds for the nigh^! . st the daughter her life. Hurst, ter stealthily, in the darkness, | anting a stick of dynamite under i ch of the three beds in the house,! y ;d two sticks to his own body, crawlQ into bed which he had formerly cupied with his wife, but which . >t night contained the three daughrs, .Maud, Fannie and Elizabeth, .nnie spoke to her father. "Lay still," Hurst replied. "We 11 all die'together." Before the girl could make a move i e explosion destroyed the house i C i 3 d aroused the whole town. The po- i 1 d e and fire departments rushed to j e scene, sent the two injured girls ! a y the hospital and cleared away the I o bris. Four sticks of dynamite un-1 ploded. were found in the ruins J r d the fact that only one and that :ached to Hurst's body, had explod- j * . accounted for the escape of the j 1 Iier members of the familv. a :1KiKF1KLI) COUNTY KILLING. s n addock Carter Sends Fatal Bullet I into William Hart. 11 t Edgefield, Sept.

The horn- o de occurred on the plantation of s r. .Mealing, domestic trouble being t e cause, according to the evidence s the inquest.

Policing the frontier, acting as the tt'atch 011 the Rio Grande, are the officers and men of five of the six cavalry regiments in the southern department. Between Brownsville and :he eastern line of California, where the jurisdiction of that department mds and that of the department ol the west begins, is approximately 1,300 milei. nttiar thprp a ro snmp ill \J tUCi ?l V* V?*v. w V. V WWM.V Lhing like 5,000 men, three to the mile, preserving the neutrality laws Df the United States while Mexican belligerents strive for supremacy There are other troops in the territory contiguous, but the duty of enforcing the rule of peace and ordei ilong the dividing line between the two countries devolves entirely or :hese bronzed soldiers, who are beginning to tire of the heat and tc :iope something more exciting will start soon. All of the Third cavalry and bat:eries A, B and C of the Third field artillery are at Fort Sam Houstor and, naturally, convenient to almosi any place where they might be urgently needed. But the officers at the teadquarters of the brigade are almost convinced blinking at the sur .vill continue to be just as exhilarating an anything they may have tc io. Between brigade headquarters and he war department at Washington here runs a special wire. For weeks tnd months officers of both the caval y and artillery left at headquarters lave waited for the telegraph to )ring something moving?waiting in -ain. If they could be absolutely cerain nothing demanding activity on heir part is likely to happen they ould spend all their spare time in tudies. But to expect something tirring and to get daily disappointnent is, they are frank to admit, dis ouraging. Whether due to orders from Gen. Vood or to the caution of Gen Bliss, s not known, but it is a fact the >fficers of the department staff deline to give the locations of the vaious detachments of troops now tanding guard over the northern >ank of the Rio Grande. Anyway, he troops are moved so frequently, .t the suggestion of a colonel, or ven a captain, that such a matter as laming the exact spot where all the nen are camped would be exceedingy difficult. The districts where there are headluarters of the various detachments re; Brownsville, Laredo,Eagel Pass, Jig Bend, Sierra Blanca-Clinti, El 'aso, New Mexico, eastern Arizona nd western Arizona. In every intance the detachment headquarters 5 located in the biggest town in the istrict. Troops in California are uner Gen. Murray and are not counted n the list of those under Gen Bliss. Many of the troops doing duty on he border have been there nearly wo years. When the Third cavalry eturned to headquarters its officers nd men had seen nineteen months' f practically uninterrupted service n the field. Some of the other cavalry regiients were part of the patrol when he Third went out, and there is not luch chance of relieving any of them ecause of the fact practically all the avalry available for service of this ort is engaged. Many of the smaller etachments are far from places of ny size and some of them do not eceive mail more frequently than nee a week. To all intents and urposes they are "in the field." It is conceded everywhere, and articularly at Washington, that no liree men ever born can keep coniant watch on a mile of internation! boundary, or a mile of any other ort of line, unless they are on a mountain top and work in relays, t is out of the question to think of nountain tops in some parts of the erritory covered by these men in haki. So it becomes necessary for the deiartment to work out a system of its iwn, one that has proven effective in mall detachments, and, frequently here is a squad without a commisioned officer. But they cover the ;round, and there is nothing along ither bank of the river that escapes heir attention. Much of the entire 1,500 miles is >atrolled daily. Most of the remainler twice a week. And when there is )ccasion for such surveillance beieved to be warranted, one or two roopers will be left to watch one ^articular place. If help is needed, hey know howcto yet it just as rapidy as the sturdy cavalry horses can un. As told before, the special wire at he post connects directly with Washington. so that the lonely squad parolling in the Big Bend is just a few tours removed from Maj. Gen. Leonird Wood and Secretary of War Gar'ison?and they are just a few mo nents from the White House. The ,'nited States army's system of comliunication is up to date.

Jliggs Gets 2 years and $2,000 Fine, Si Caniinetti 18 Months and $1,500. ^ l San Francisco, Sept. 17.?Two ]c years in the Federal Penitentiary on ? McNeil Island, Washington and a fine of $2,000 was the sentence to-day im- ^ 1 posed on Maury I Diggs former State a] l architect of California, because of his la i flight to Reno with Marsha Warring- B ton, a Sacramento girl. Eighteen .0| la > months in the same prison and a fine d( ? of $1,500 was the penalty given his li friend and companion F. Drew Cami- retti, son of Anthony Caminetti, . J State Commissioner General of Im- C( migration, for a like onense. uamin- b etti eloped with Marsha Warrington's ? friend, Leona Xorris. The usual motion for a new trial and for arrest of judgment was denied. Judge Van Fleet granted, how- r ever, a stay of execution for 10 days, e during which the defendants will be ^ out on bail fixed at $15,000 and $10,a 000 respectively, while their counsel g are perfecting an appeal to the Uni- 1 ted States Circuit Court of Appeals 0 for a writ of reversible error which, if granted, would entail new trials. the officers that for months there has not been a minute of the day or night ( when any news of importance from c any of these isolated squads along ? the border would not have received j? instant attention at Fort Sam Hous- V ton. When Gen. Bliss is at headquarters, of course any information is carried directly to him. If Gen. Bliss should happen to be away, Adjt. Gen. Hurd could and would act, and B if both the brigadier and Col. Hurd ? were absent, Maj. Brown, the chief of staff, would know what to do and how to do it. 0 V Truth of it is, all the army in the south-west has been looking for p + n honnon AflH tVlPTP Vlfl S U dUillCLUlUg IU ??w .. not been a moment during the past h six months when the army was not ready to meet any emergency that might arise. tl Personal views of the officers as to the fact that something has not haplc pened do not count. Personal feelings of the men because of the afore- ta said condition are not measured at o: Washington. But Washington knows the army has been as ready as any q battleship in the navy and so do all Si others who have paid even casual at- ai tention to the way things are done at department headquarters. ?Backache]? j J V ^ \ 1 I "For nearly a year, I suf- OO fered with terrible back- , ache, pains in my limbs, I fj j and my head ached nearly all the time.
