The Morocco correspondent of the
London Times claims to he "nltnost

a lew IIioiisand inhabitants situated
in the tiibeiaml of the Belli Zejel,
aiioui 10 miles to the South of Tetuau.
The Times man says lie visited it In

caped with dilliculty.
lie adds (hat the town Is small,
built along » sort <>f terrace on the
high mountain side, and Is renowned

RULED KING IN SUCCESSION
Three Sisters of Noble Family Who
Secame the Favorites of Great
French Monarch.
King Louis XIV of France fell In
love with three sisters, one after the
other, the daughters of the marquis
of Nesle. The first was not a beauty,
but she was a clever woman and a
good dresser. Her reign ended after
three years, when ber younger sister
appeared. The king's devotion to the
first sister was a secret until Louis,
after Indulging too heavily in cham
pagne. paid a call upon his-wife, who
was so disgusted by his condition that
she ordered him to leave her pres
ence. He was bitterly angered, and a
few days later he publicly acknowl
edged his devotion to Mine, de Mallly!*
Hot younger sister, Pauline, came
to the palace with the Arm intent of
winning the king from, her sister^
She diil. but died suddenly shortly
after her success. Then the third
sifter, Marie A ntie, the young
widow of the marquis of Tournelle,
the most able, the most unscrupulous
and the most beautiful of the family,
appeared. Mine, de la Tournelle, In
love with a young nobleman, refused
to listen to the king. Louis sent his
rival to war, but the young man came
back wounded, and a hero. A young
woman of great beauty was Instructed
to woo the king's rival, which she did
so effectively that his passionate let
ters to her were sent to the king, who
promptly showed them to Mme. de la
I Tournelle.
This crafty plot was successful,
and the ambitious favorite, after In
sisting that her sister should be sent
away, was given an official place at
court and the title of the duchess of
Chateanroux.
BIG RANCHES ONLY MEMORY
I Progress of Civilization Has Don*
Away With the Picturesque Llfo
of the Old West.
' Ttie big horse ranches have virtual
ly pone out of existence with the
passing of the Long X In Montana,
says the Christian Science Monitor.
The big cattle ranch long since suc
cumbed to the onward march of the
sheep ranger and the wired fence, and
it was felt {o be only a matter of
time before the horse ranch would
follow suit.
In this connection it Is Interesting
to recall the clrcumstauce that
thftugh the horse was unknown on
the American continent when the Span
| iards arrived, prehistoric evidences of
the animal have been discovered In
both North and South America. The
Iildians. who had domesticated the
llama, the alpaca, and the dog, knew
nothing of the horse, and were aston
ished by the sight of the strange and
unfamiliar animals which the newcom
ers rode. Yet, with their Introduc
tion by the white races, horses which
escaped soon ran wild and nourished
on the same ranges where their an
cient cousins had apparently lived,
showing how well the country was
suited to their needs. There are a
few ranches today in the West where
the rue in the principal room may be
the hide of a wild horse, found In
Nevada or in Arizona canyons.
Wall of Dragons of Pekln.
The ilragou screen of Pek'ln Is hid
den behind n hillock In the winter pal
ace grounds. It is a wall perhaps
20 feet high and 1(H) long, faced
completely with tile cast to represent
nine large-size dragons in has relief,
of various colors—yellow, purple, buff,
maroon, orange—dancing gayly above
emerald hillows against a pale blue
sky. Most sculptured Chinese dragons
are lifeless, angular beasts; but here
there is an almost un-Chlnese rigor
and audacity in the spring and twiat
of the lithe bodies. They leap, whirl,
lunge, and writhe until the spectator
steps back, half afraid that they will
co»ie tumbling off the screen, striking
at the unwary with their sturdy claws.
Tflere are, I believe, critics who teach
that plastic art should never under
take to portray moments of activity.
If this be correct, the dragons stand
condemned; but If the sculptor may
ever rightly give us life In Its vivid,
moving moments, here Is a master
piece— Exchange. '
