CaUTIIaoi:, Ills., .lune '."J. A middle
aged mrinwnlkod into Carthago from his
country home, a mile northwest of tho
town, ono day last week, and in his hand
ho carried a delicately carved gavel. It
is tho gavel to bo used in tho ceremonies
of closing tho World's Columbian expo
sition at Chicago Oct. Ill, IBM. W. 11.
Hartels is tho man who wrought this
wonder by his own hand. No sooner
had ho reached town with his precious
piece of wood than ho was induced to
liavo a photograph taken of it yid him
self as well. In his hand ho is holding
tho gavel with which Mr. Lafayette
Funk as president of tho Illinois bonid
of managers will officially close tho great
fair. This gavel was niado expressly for
tliis purpose by Mr. Uartels upon tho re
quest of tho board of managers.
A mere description of tho gavel will
not convey the actual beauty of tho
piece. It contains Ti different pieces of
wood, most elaborately carved and in
laid. Tho gavel proior is Hindu of a very
choice- cherry burl which shows tho
birilseyes. Ono end is bo carved that it
can bo inlaid with gold, upon which an
appropriate inscription will boengraved.
Tho other end contains Mr. Funk's Ini
tials, "L". V.," in 11 beautiful monogram
inlaid in aspen, walnut and sumac. Tho
shaft of tho handle Is carved und is in
laid iu Italian maripiotry and is a dream
of art.
Tho Bartels farm, consisting of about
B2 acres, lies at tho edge of a beautiful
strip of timber a trifle more than a mile
northwest of Carthago. Upon its site in
tho early days was erected inissibly ono
of tho first sawmills iu tliis part of Illi
nois. James Uenbow, a pioneer citi
zen, says that ho mado the rails for tho
old fence that encircles this farm in 1HJ1.

CmcAtio, Juno 83. This country Is
soon to witness tho arrlvnl of a now
guest iu tho person of tho richest and
most widely known of tho smaller oilen
tal rulers. Tho shah of Persia has de
cided to keep within tho boundaries of
his domain this year, tho kaiser will
not come, and tho only mnnaich wo shall
see will t tho sultan of Johore.
Deputy Commissioner Lake of tho
World's Columbian exposition lias re
ceived word to Join tho sultan at Carls
I bad, where lilu majesty is now sojourn
I lug for his health, and ho has sailed
thither for tho purpose of conducting
iilin to thq United States.
The visit of an oriental potontato to
this country Is of more than passing sig
nificance Tho sultan of Johoro will Ik)
tho first of tho eastern moiiarchs to set
foot upon our shores, and his welcome
will bo cordial and demonstrative. Ho is
wealthy enough to keep up while travel
ing a state almost equal to that main
tained by the shah, and those who have
tho good fortune to seo him will talk
long about his wonderful jewels.
Tho sultan Is said to possess tho finest
collection of diamonds, rubles and pearls
in tho world. Many of tho gems have
histories which tell tho story of tho rise
and fall of tho elTeto monarchies of the
cast, and as ho has a fad for collecting
tho finest within his reach ho has spaicd
no expense to enrich tho royal treasury
in this direction.
It requires no little search to find tho
domain of tho sultan of Johoro on the
map. It lies at tho foot of tho Malay
peninsula, a very small country, and one
of which tho world at largo hears but
little. Hero tho august sultan rules ovor
a few hundred thousand people, Malays
like himself, and holds his throne by the
grace of Queen Victoria.
An English governor who resides at
Singapore, tho chief city of the peninsu
la, takes euro of tho queen's Interests in
that part of tho world and Incidentally
looks after the sultan. The rajahs of
Johoro havo from time immemorial been
very ricli, possessing jewels 111 great
abundance and keeping up a state as
rulers far beyond tho importance of their
cramped domaiu. mM

cilitlcs at their doors, it is no wonder
tho Havannns live with n light between '
their lips. The people deny that tho
habit effects them. But 11 stranger is nt
onco struck with tho sallow, lifeless faces
of tho men ho meets. The causo may be
tho heat, tho fever or tho tobacco. I
Iu 110 city iu tho United States is so
much courtesy shown tho stt anger. Po- J
liteness is bred in tho Spaniard and Cu
ban. Ask tho dirtiest figure that pushes
nn oar or basks on the leveo for a light
for your cigar. Ho draws out his box,
scratches a match, and carefully shield-'
ing it from tho wind holds it to the end
of your weed until tho smoko is puffing
iu clouds. Inquire of anybody on tho
street whore a certain place is, and ho
ennnot do too much to find it for you.
You may speak but ono word of Span
ish and give that with a distorted
brogue, nnd no 0110 smiles nt your at- j
tempts. Yet theso eiiuiu persons will
charge you four prices in a business ,
transaction nnd swear they aro giving
tho cheapest figures. To rob an Ameri-!
can is a legitimate transaction.
Tho vivacity of tho Havanan lies nbovo ,
tho hips. His legs aro languid and slow,
I but his hands, nrms und faco aro never
at rest. Ho talks liko 11 Frenchman, us
ing his eyes and hands as well as his
mouth. It is amusing to watch a crowd '
of Cubans, ci coles or Spaniards. Anns
swing violently, and tho owners act es
, though engaged iu a iinnri el. IMackeyis
and whito teeth flash. Theso people of
Spanish blood have tho most woudeiful
eyes. 1 was disappointed in the small
number of well built, handsome men I
saw, but I was bewildered and iibtouished
1 at the beautiful eyes, shaded by long
dink lashes. Good humor seems to be a
1 legacy to these smiling, olive lined be-
j iugs, whocoiihtitutethebulkof Havana's '
population tho common people, I mean,
I often of doubtful blood, who drive on
the donkey and ox carts, or throng the
) wharfs, or give tho narrow street a busy
appearance.
The women wo meet on the streets
would appear much prettier to tho
northern eye if they had a few indies
1 leis powder on their faces. Young girls
and older ones use it. The heat may ren-
1 der tho diatom a comfortable one, but it
is not agreeablo, especially when white
powder is spread thickly on a very dark
1 skin. Women are seldom if ever seen
alone. In front walks the daughter, and
j close behind is the mother or some other
1 elderly lady The middle classes of both
I sexes are abroad all day and part of the
night, and so of course are the lower,
hut the upper circles are not so careless.
The gentlemen ride, and tho ladies ttir
'nit little during the day. At night the
uirks and drives aro very interesting
vitli tho open carriages, in which re
dine bowitehiugly handsome women,
uid tho well dressed gentlemen Fitting
their horses with all the grace of a
Spaniard. A lady of Havana, no matter
what her station, is iuvaiiably distin
guished by small hands and led, datk
iyes and a pretty mouth. Hut I have
teen many American women who were
ar more beautiful.
The tan iu Spanish fingers is all Uint
is said to be. It is tho most danger-
is weapon that can be deviswd iu a
der of artistic curving aro many of theso
old rails. Tho frame from which smiles
tho features of Mr. Bartels' aged moth
er in tho exhibit in tho governor's room
iu tho Illinois state building is made
from some of theso old oak rails. Many
other pieces of furniture in that exhibit
aro mado of these rails.
William Bartels, Sr., settled on this
farm in 18.'iS. After his death William
tho younger cnino homo from Chicago to
look after tho farm and the aged mother.
About 14 years ago ho was tho victim of
a siege of typhoid fever. During tho
weiry days of convalescence ho passed
tho time whittling with an old jackknlfo.
Ono of tho old oak rails furnished tho
material, and before tho young man
knew exactly what ho was doing there
began to grow under his knifo strokes n
wreath of oak leaves and acorns iu bus-
?
People give them credit for being- competent to Judijo a bicycle
for knowing a good tiling when they see it. . , ,
An air of confidence is clearly marked in tho graceful hearing of
ItAMHIelM? riders. They know the wheel they ride; have utmost con
fidence in it.
Knowing that Ramblers are high grade, and are sold at list price
only, people do not look upon UAMBIeliirridors as frequenters of "bar
gain shops."

It is an exquisite piece of work in the
shape of an oak mantel and mirror
frame. Around the frame and mantel
edge are wreaths of oak leaves and
ncoriiH, while iu the center of the man
telpiece in clear bas-relief is a collection
of daisies, callus and cattails. The hearth
of the mantel contains over 110 diifercnt
pieces of wood. This was Mr. Bartels'
first triumph, and yet with tho old jack

Mr. Baitels states that his master
piece, so consideied by him, is the bas

Christ carrving ills cross to Calvary.
This piece of work is considered the fin

A quarter of a century ago ono of
them ceded his realm to England, since
when succeeding rajahs havo been de
pendents, having nothing to do but to
spend their wenlth. I ho sultans of .lo
horo aro strange admixtures of intelli
gence, cruelty and bombast. Tho nat-
ural wealth of tho country is simply
enormous.
Johoro produces spices of every kind
nnd scores of valuable woods, precious
metals and gems. Its jungles aro tho
haunts of tigers, elephants nm1 serpents
of great length, and tho mo. Inzzling
birds of tho tropics fill its balmy groves.
Man there, however, is as cruel as tho
typical Mnlay can be. At a time not
very far I'mioto from tho present tho
coasts of Johoro swarmed with pimfo
craft, and moro than one Captain Kidd
of tho warm seas sailed ft out tlf se
cluded harbors to prey on tho rich com
merce of that quarter of the globe.
The coming sultan inhabits a pulics
built after tho manner of a largo bunga
low. It is built of bricks and wood and
is not in keeping with the "style" a--biimed
by tho monarch while on his
travels. Here tho sultan holds Ins levees,
here he marshals his little army, and
from the palace ho sends out the royal
orders not seldom tiuctuied with cruelty.
When he lands among us, wo will seo a
slight figure adorned with 11 gaudy tur
ban well sprinkled with gems. The sul
tan's outer dresscousists of a splendidly
brocaded jacket, silken trousers with
limning red stripes and a manifold sash
brilliant in coloring and clasped at tho
waist witii diamond buckles. Iu fact,
the sultan will suggest a living adver
tisement of some diamond store, as in
addition to his other decorations his san
dals will Hash witii gems, and his sword
hilt will dazzle the eye of the foitiiuate
beholder
Thosiiltan's retinue consists of 10 serv
