THE END OF RAMADAN GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF THE CLOSE OF THE FORTY DAYS’ FAST. 4 Gun Boomed From the Citadel at the Beginning and Ending of the Rite—The Legend Upon Which the Uncomfortable Custom Is Based. We rat in the tent’s shadow, with our faces turned toward Cairo. There were three of us, the sheik of the néightoring village, Ahmed and I. The clear outline of the Mokhattan hills was hidden in the thick mist generated by the heat; the city wasa gray blur against the black sides of the uplands. Below us, amid the sugar cane, the fellahin worked with an affectation of energy. Sometimes:a voice came to us mellowed by distance; sometimes the sail of a vessel glided phantom wise over the blue ribbon of water that twined along the’ valley toward Alexandria and the delta. __A month before I had seen the méssengers leave the city and strike into the desert. Twenty-four hours later, dusty and hot, they returned, bearing news. The new moon had appeared, -and the fast was proclaimed. At midnight a gun boomed from the citadel, and suddenly the merry noises of the streets were stilled. Next day I wandered through the bazaars, but received no invitation to drink coffee with my friends. Pipes and cigarettes were not offered to me. A kind of half sleep had fallen on everybody, and I hardly dared speak to any bargainings the merchants read the Koran or prayed, counting their beads with nimble fingers, head bent downward. The bargainings, too, were a poor shadow of the exciting scenes I loved. The purchaser was always languid and the vender inert, uninterested. As the afternoon wore ona look of fatigue, often of real pain, gloomed on the usually genial faces. It was hot, so hot. The sun beat furiously on the white walls and roads; the cruel Kempion whirled the dust through the streets and dried the skin and lips. But the cry of the water carrier was not raised; no boys offered bunches of juicy fruit to the sufferers. Ramadan had come with all its terrors, and for the love of .God and. his apostle must they be borne, if not cheerfully, at any rate sternly and manfully. One hour before sunset life seemed to stir again in the veins. The bakeries were crowded; the fires blazed under the ovens; a smell of cooking stole over the city. Women squatted at intervals along the streets with cakes and fruit and bottles-of-water-spread-before-them: ' Little groups gathered round them, impatient, expectant. The smokers took out their pipes or cigarettes and stood waiting for the signal, match in hand. Suddenly the sun fell, and the gun thundered from the citadel. The city awoke; the population began to eat; the women were busy disposing of their 8. h ea For 40 days these things were, and now was come the closing day of the fast, and. I sat with my friends on.the sand; gazing toward the citadel till the gun showed fire for the last time, had been cast at meas I cheerfully disobeyed the prophet’s orders. Ahmed, I think, had the sheik not been with me, would have smoked a cigarette, but as it was he lay beside me and sulked. The sheik was too old to behave thus. He was quiet and spoke slowly, but he tried bravely to conceal all signs of discomfort. Ahmed’s annoyance may be accounted for in this way. He declared to me that Mohammed fasted one day in the month Ramadan, but on which day was uncertain, and therefore the theologians decreed a 40 days’ fast that they might be sure of fasting the same day as the prophet. I do not think Ahmed believes this legend, though he vouches vehemently for its truth. To while away the time I asked the sheik to tell me about the visit of the czarowitz. Bat the long abstinence made him: unable to talk at any length, and even this his favorite story he told me briefly in a couple of bald sentences, though he responded gently: ‘‘1 met him as one prince meets another. He told me he owned many vijlages; that he wassheik over half the world. {t may be as they have said.”’ ~*“And--what~-didhe say to -you?**T queried. ‘‘He greeted me courteously and took me by the hand. This ring that I wear is his gift.’’ As he spoke he showed me, without pride, a sapphire of great size and beauty. Then he relapsed into silence, and 1 amused myself by picturing the event in my mind. I would that I had seen that .meeting between the heir of the holy Russian empire and the simple Arab chief. Looking into his grave gray eyes and at his tall, slight figure, the broad shoulders not yet bent, though the white beard he was stroking told of many years of life, and in spite of his tattered blue robe, I easily conceived how he had been treated—courteously as became a prince. Before the setting sun touched the horizon a boy from thg village brought a large plate of food and a bottle of water and set them before us, ‘‘The signal,’’ I cried as a white puft of smoke rolled away from the citadal walls, and at the same instant the sun sank behind the desert, The sheik seized the bottle of water and drank long and eagerly. When his thirst was appeased, he belched loudly and handed the bottle to Ahmed, who. drank eagerly, too, not omitting the curious after grace. Then they devoured the food voraciously, the old man beckoning me to join. After we had eaten we sat and talked far into the night under the golden stars. The distant city gleamed fairylike with myriad lamps, and the murmur of its thousand voices came to us through the silent air. ' Ramadan was dead.

Its Good Word Worthy of Emulation, What a wonderful change “has been wrought everywhere in popular sentiment in relation to the methods, membership and organization ef the Salvation Army, says the Modesto News. Only a few years ago the membership of that organization was ridiculed, derided and ostracized wherever they appeared in California, Their peculiar methods produced little else than levity, ridicule and contempt among the people. It is not so teday: Their uniforms, flags, public street marching, tambourine and drum beatings now attract but little comment, Even the lorses and the very dogs 0a the sircet seem to take. more kindly to them. Popular s ntiment is at least toler ent with them: jDhey are, evidently, in a position now to move on to much higher and better grounds) Ti is useless to a:k anyone as to what has produced the marvelons changes so briefly alluded to. It is generally recognized that the self-sacrificing, earnest, almost heroic persev: rance, zeal andbroad charity-of the membership has had much to do in winning fer that society, army, or whatever it may more appropriately be called, a kindlier sentiment among the people. Then, again, the system of the organization of the Salvation Army of itself is very perfect. As long as its head ‘‘General” is an able and faithful leader, equipped with a genius for command, as well as vast resources to draw upon, no doubt the army will continue to grow and spread, Its simplicity, courage and now generally recognized honesty of purpose pleases the people of today. It is known everywhere that its resources are not-crippled by the construction of costly churches, temples and highsalaried ministers and singing choirs. Its freedom from cant, as well as _fashion’s foibles gives it a hearing ‘and an audience among plain, common people, who have madé themselves somewhat familiarwith the life and ministry of Christ and his first disciples. Truly, the Salvation Army, let it be derided as it may, is marching swiftly into prominence, hearts and. sympathies ef the American people. Recreate es?) ene ntateenin Not Dead.

This ring that I wear is his gift.’’ As he spoke he showed me, without pride, a sapphire of great size and beauty. Then he relapsed into silence, and 1 amused myself by picturing the event in my mind. I would that I had seen that .meeting between the heir of the holy Russian empire and the simple Arab chief. Looking into his grave gray eyes and at his tall, slight figure, the broad shoulders not yet bent, though the white beard he was stroking told of many years of life, and in spite of his tattered blue robe, I easily conceived how he had been treated—courteously as became a prince. Before the setting sun touched the horizon a boy from thg village brought a large plate of food and a bottle of water and set them before us, ‘‘The signal,’’ I cried as a white puft of smoke rolled away from the citadal walls, and at the same instant the sun sank behind the desert, The sheik seized the bottle of water and drank long and eagerly. When his thirst was appeased, he belched loudly and handed the bottle to Ahmed, who. drank eagerly, too, not omitting the curious after grace. Then they devoured the food voraciously, the old man beckoning me to join. After we had eaten we sat and talked far into the night under the golden stars. The distant city gleamed fairylike with myriad lamps, and the murmur of its thousand voices came to us through the silent air. ' Ramadan was dead.

Its Good Word Worthy of Emulation, What a wonderful change “has been wrought everywhere in popular sentiment in relation to the methods, membership and organization ef the Salvation Army, says the Modesto News. Only a few years ago the membership of that organization was ridiculed, derided and ostracized wherever they appeared in California, Their peculiar methods produced little else than levity, ridicule and contempt among the people. It is not so teday: Their uniforms, flags, public street marching, tambourine and drum beatings now attract but little comment, Even the lorses and the very dogs 0a the sircet seem to take. more kindly to them. Popular s ntiment is at least toler ent with them: jDhey are, evidently, in a position now to move on to much higher and better grounds) Ti is useless to a:k anyone as to what has produced the marvelons changes so briefly alluded to. It is generally recognized that the self-sacrificing, earnest, almost heroic persev: rance, zeal andbroad charity-of the membership has had much to do in winning fer that society, army, or whatever it may more appropriately be called, a kindlier sentiment among the people. Then, again, the system of the organization of the Salvation Army of itself is very perfect. As long as its head ‘‘General” is an able and faithful leader, equipped with a genius for command, as well as vast resources to draw upon, no doubt the army will continue to grow and spread, Its simplicity, courage and now generally recognized honesty of purpose pleases the people of today. It is known everywhere that its resources are not-crippled by the construction of costly churches, temples and highsalaried ministers and singing choirs. Its freedom from cant, as well as _fashion’s foibles gives it a hearing ‘and an audience among plain, common people, who have madé themselves somewhat familiarwith the life and ministry of Christ and his first disciples. Truly, the Salvation Army, let it be derided as it may, is marching swiftly into prominence, hearts and. sympathies ef the American people. Recreate es?) ene ntateenin Not Dead.
