tom house the guards wanted to search
us and make us pay duty on our scanty
baggage.
I had hired a mule to carry our sad
dlebags as far as Baghdad, using the
owner of the mule, a wily old Aran
who accompanied us. as a guide. These
two, mule and man. the guards abso
lutely refused to let pass without my

to do. aud. knowing that in tte east a
show of temper is of no avail, I swal

collectedly with the soldier.
Soon they confessed that they had
no right to touch either me or any
animal of mine, hut they maintained
that the mule and the rider were both
Arabs and that therefore L could not
interfere.
This was just what I wanted, and
solved the matter in a minute. I put
the Arab on my horse and 1 lode his

which it is necessary to give to the

A Delightful and Touching Story About
Littlo Margaret, One of Its Member,
and the Genial Humorist A Pretty
Compact and a Quaint Latter.
Like many another great man, Mark
Twain was fond of children. He never
outgrew childhood, and he always
chose young playmates where they
were to be found. He formed curious
societies of these girl friends. Back
in the nineties, when he was living in
Europe, he created a club which .was
to consist of one (only one) girl In each
country of the globe, the duty of said
member being to write occasionally to
the chief officer, who faithfully replied
to these random and far faring mes
sages. Of course these little girls were
swept into womanhood presently, but
even to the last years of his life the
member who signed herself "France''
remained faithful to the law.
Another club of girls, little girls, be
came one of the chief interests during
his final years. It had its beginning
in Bermuda during one of his frequent
visits to those happy islands. It was
called the Angel Fish club, after a
gorgeous swimmer of those waters, and
he gave to each member an angel tisii
pin as a society badge. It was a, suc
cessful club, and on his return to
America he elected other members,
enough to make twelve in all.
Ilis home at Redding, Conn., Storm
field, had been originally named In
nocence at Home, and as Angel Fish
headquarters Innocence at Home it
always remained. Members with their
parents visited him there, and the bil
liard room, where the "fishes" were
likely to spend most of their time
knocking the balls about, under the
chief member's instruction, was called
the Aquarium, and gay prints of
many Bermuda fishes were hung along
tlie walls to carry out the idea. Each
member had the privilege of selecting
one of these as her patron fish and of
identifying it with her name.
It was in Bermuda one day when he
was walking along the beach with one
of his angel fish members that he pick
ed up a small iridescent double shell,
delicately hinged together. He sepa
rated it and handed his companion half.
"Yon will be going away from me
pretty soon. Margaret." lie said, "and
growing up. and I won't know you
any more. I shall see a great many
Margarets, and now and then one of
them will say she is my Margaret, but
I will say. 'So: you resemble my Mar
garet, but you are bigger than my
Margaret, and I can't be sure.' Then I
will take out this shell and I will say,
'If you are really my Margaret you
will have the other half of this shell,
and it will fit exactly.' Then if she
lias the shell and it fits I shall know
that it is really my Margaret, no mat
ter how many years have gone by or
how much older she has grown."
All this lie said very gravely and
earnestly, and the little girl took the
shell thoughtfully and promised to
keep it always. Next morning when
she came running up to meet him on
the hotel veranda he looked at her
quest ioningly.
"You look like Margaret." he said,
"but I can't be sure. If you are really
my Margaret you will have a shell I
gave her once the male to this one"
lie got no further. The talisman was
promptly produced, and it fitted ex
actly. He returnedto America, and
somewhat later Marcaret received a
letter one of the pretty letters he was
always writing to children. In it he
said:
I am always making mistakes. When
I was in Xew York six weeks aso I was
on a corner of Fifth avenue and saw a
small sirl not a bic one start across
from the opposite corner, and I exclaim
ed to myself joyfully. "That Is certainly
my Marsaret." so I rushed to meet her.
But as she came nearer I began to doubt
and said to myself. "It's n. Margaret, that
is plain enough, but I'm half afraid it is
somebody else's." So when I passed her
I held my shell so she couldn't help but
sec it. Dear, she only glanced at It and
passed on. wondered if sho could have
overlooked it. It seemed best to find out.
so I turned and followed and caught up
with her and said deferentially. "Dear
miss. I already know your first name by
tfte look of you. but would you mind
telling me your other oncT She was
vexed and said, pretty sharply: "It's
Douglas, it you're so anxious to know. I
know your name by your looks, and I'd
advise you to shut yourself up with pen
and ink and writo some morn rubbish. I
am surprised that they allow you to run
at large. You are likely to get run over
by a baby carriage any time. Run along
now and don't let the cows blto you."
What an idea! There aren't any cows
in Fifth avenue. Dut I didn't smile., I
f idu't let on to perceive how uncultured
slse was. She was from the country, of
course, and didn't know what a comical
blunder she was making.
Margaret, with her 'mother, called
when they returned to America. When
the cards were brought to him he look
ed at hers and said:
"Well, the young lady, her name
seems familiar, but I can't be sure it's
my Margaret without a certain token
which she is supposed to carry as a
proof." The shell came up without
delay. He took the two halves now tr.
a jeweler and had them set in gold as
charms. One of these Margaret wore
on a ribbon about her neck, and the
'other he linked to his watcli chain,
where it remained till he died. What
a sweet fancy it all was!
He spent the last months of his life
in Bermuda in the home of one of his
angel fish. Helen Allen, daughter of

Queer Methods of a Queer Society In

The moctincs are held, as a rule, in
some liar parlor, and the discussions
are about members and often non
members who have the reputation ol
being henpecked. When evidence has
been brought to show that a particular
man has allowed himself to come un
der his wife's thumb they tax him with

BOILED BANKNOTES.
Caustic Soda Usnd to Destroy Warn
Out French Currency.
Everybody knows that wornout
banknotes in this country are destroy
ed by maceration at the treasury de
partment, but the maimer in which the
notes of the Bank of France are de
stroyed is probably not so weU known.
At the head otlice of the Bank of
France there is a permanent tribunal
before which all doubtful paper is
brought. The tribunal writes "anale"
on the faces of the banknotes. The
judgment is countersigned by the
treasurer, and they arc taken to the
cellars in which the printing office is
situated. In the presence of tho bank's
official they are brought out for an
nihilation. Distributed one by one into
baskets, the condemned notes are emp
tied into a great cylinder half Died
with water and caustic soda.
The orifice of the cylinder is then
locked and set in motion. It turns for
two days, at the end of which time
the officials who presided at the be
ginning of the operation return to wit
ness the end of the dotes.
Furnished with a long spoon, a work
man thrusts into the depths of the
cylinder and withdraws a thick, steam
ing liquid, which he pours into a thin
basin. Another workman approaches
with a similar spoon, with which be
stirs the stuff around to make sure
not a remnant has been left of the
notes. When the banknote soup has
been reduced to paste it is sold for $1
a hundred kilos, about 200 pounds, al
though the paper at one time cost $5
for two iouiids. Washington Herald.
