"Well, you can say for a beginner," said Uncle Charlie, "that Post wishes them ait a happy New Year, wishes it with nothing la reserve and hopes they will all be right In line with orders the year round. And baring done that, let me -ten you about the Christmas dinner i Gns Berdon eat down to with party of friends at the drummers' rendezvous on Canal street. His guests were R. L. Winchester.

Of Cincinnati, Horitio Ogden, of Baton Rouge; George English, of Robellne; Louis Relnecke, of New York; Mr. Alexander, of Cincinnati; Messrs. Doubleday, Bacon and Ted Deeves. Now, tby.teU me this is what they ate, I urn wondering how and where they worked np the appetite: Blue points, celery, cream d' volaillo a la' Reine. consomme, haricot yeits, lobsters in cashes a la Newberg, broiled pom pano, pouunea croquettes, Delaware capon, celery sauce, mashed potatoes, asparagus, potted breast of pheasants, premium beef, Yorkshire pudding, sad-die of antelope, game sauce, belgnet souffle, benealcUne- sauce, roast mallard duck with fried hominy, and many other tilings which I havn't time to think of.

Of course, there are many things on" the bill you have never heard of, but all goes. Don't you know If Cnrisunas comes three times this year for the boys, wlih that sort of table to clear, there will be several tombstones with new names on them before the season is half done." Having uld which. Uncle 'Charlie pro ceeded to bite out of a plug of line cut chewlug gum. When he ihad reduced It to pulp he opeaed np again: have just found out bow one of the boys of 1'ixat a nippenca to get on tne roau. Yeer before lust there was an assembling of merchants at one ot those blowouts they have at Louisville.

Yon know tne old fellows get out on the Board of Trade on Christmas eve and have a tree, same as tha children bave here at the Sabbath schools. Wellfc sir, the tree they had in thia Instance was veritable pine some 30 feet la height, and they needed it, for some heavy weights were suspended from the branches. All of the merchants were allowed to file in and look upon th tree, and then they were taken out and given a number for one of ths presents oa the tree. One of the old fellows got Nos. 4t, 11, 44.

He bad 8 man sent up in the tree to get the basket down corresponding with tbe number. It waa in one of the topmost branches. When it was down, and opened out popped a little fellow with a grip in his hand, looking for ail the world like the star of some theatrical company, or a drummer who was full of business. OX course the owner of the prise got the merry ha-ha, but he was a liquor merchant ot some note, ana ne just winked to himself and said: 'I'll ool these' He took his prlrooa. the elde-and said man, bow; did you get in this lay-out The little fellow said it was a job, and then tha merchant foond out that his prise was a smooth talker, had been, on the road some, and thereupon mads a deal with 'hia shortness' to carry a grip for his house.

Of course, his emalloeas said if the price was many, he would 'Fifteen hundred per an, said the merchant. 'I don't answered the kid. Tw thousand' bid the liquor man. 'I think came the quick response, and Shortness was given an order boot and a piece of territory. the funny thing about this is that the little fellow belonged to one of the other merchants and was put In the basket for a guy.

They meant to give liquor the dinky dink. Well, when the next Christmas oame around. Mr. Liquor man was asked what he had done with the kid he got tor a present the year before. The crowd were gathered about, smilingly awaiting an answer, Mr.

Liquorina pulled ont an order book. 'In this book. he said, 'there are order to the amount of S42.00O, representing the sales made by my last -year's Christmas present. He got $2000 for the work, and now I am looking for the man who gave blm to me. I want to buy him a larga white 'What's that? Yon don't know who the Kid, Shortness, abbreviated, is? Why, Rube Chlsolm, little Brother Brill relapsed' Into thoughtful-ness, but broke out of It la a minute.

"Say," he said; "this brotherhood within the post makes the fellows wondrous kind to one another. It is a good thing, and the wonder is, In the face of the good Samarltanlsm, that every man who takes to the road does not get a membership ticket. I bad Brother Duffy to call in the other day. He told me he was sick at New Iberia recently, far from home, no chance of getting there, and no immediate friend to draw upon for a cheerful word, or to do a turn or two. He was feeling only as a fellow can who is really sick and away from all he holds dear, when Brother Magner dropped In at the hotel.

Soon as he heard Duffy was sick and one of the boys of the T. P-. be got to work. He seemed to know just what to do, and did It. had Duffy feeling like there was.

some chance to get well again, got him the things he required, told him stories of the boys and strck right by him until he had him thinking of getting out of bed end in harness again. You ask Duff' if he thinks the Post Is a good thing, and If the boya are not the kind who make life worth the living." DO YOU KNOW That Brother Walsh has presented the application of Air. Lob for membership In the That W. P. Gottschalk has left for Taxes? He carries the usual Winchester, Colt's navy six, and, incidentally, a sample case.

That F. W. Chapman has graduated la norsology? He has a stable hp the creek, some place, and will ran races next season. That Brother Coos walked in on 'Uncle Charlie last Friday said ha was sorry 8yd Leopold departed this earth? That was a new one Uncle Charles, and he desired to express the regrets of the post. Coos said there was no cans expression of 8yd, when he saw him last, was leaving the earth and getting oa a boat to go np the river.

However, the photographer held him long enough to take a picture hut bow is one of, the thlncs the post bos never been able to discover. It is presumed he was chloroformed and taken for a sitting. The fact Is. be really hasn't the time to think. He is the star actor for a tobacco firm and is on in every act.

He just bogs the play, as It wore He lays all the dates between this city snd ackson. on the I. ail openings oa the Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific, and la negotiating for more railroads to keep blm In motion fast enough. Charlie Is a fat as well as a. jolly drummer, and has friends for evry square inch of the road he travels.

If any man in the community has an airship that will reach the inwardness of the Interior territory, he can get all kinds of money from Brother Dreux for the nse of it. THE CITY DRUMMERS, ALEX.

APPLEWHITE. Among the drummers who visit Mississippi there Is none more popular or more prominent that Captain Harry T. Applewhite, the subject of this sketch. Captain Applewhite was born In Texas, which was no rhult of his. for If he had his way the circumstance would have occurred In New Orleans.

To fill the aching void, he lived a long time in the metropolis of the eouth, going Into the army from that place and serving with such distinction that It was read ont on parade that if Captain Applewhite did not cease his daring gallantry tha confederate-army would lose. one of Us bravest of Seers. 1 After the Captain Applewhite grasped his grlo and has been as good a citizen as be was a soldier.

They are In many districts applying the principle of co-operation to agricultural finance and are thus securing a great reduction of Interest upon farm loans.

CALMS A Possible Solution' of the Oat-break Problem Snarsested by an Indian Agent. "Abous eight yearn ago I was In Kansas on business for a cewsptper." said a man who has traveled hither and thither la the west for twenty five years. "I received a message ordering ma to Fort Reno Jo tbe Oklahoma ccuntry. Tbe message informtd me tbat there Was a -threatened uprising of the Cheyenaes and Arapaboes in that country. "I bad been Is that country before, and I remembered tbat I had never seen, a lazier lot of Indians tbaa the Oklahoma lot.

But I had my orders and Fort Reno Is a boat seven miles from 1 Beoo. a station oa the Borit Island road. I Taacbed 1 Keno early la the evenjaur. sod tod over to the fort rapidly as an Oklahoma bone could be driven. Colonel Wade, son ot old Ben Wade, was com-maoder of the fort.

He eceived me in bis quarters la anything but military make-up. When I explained my mission be laughed. lie talked to me until late In the night, and told me that if the white people, would attend to their bus Loess the Indian would take care of himself. Hs told me hs would furnish with a horse and a map, and tbat I might ride over every mile of the country "where be bad lurisdictlon, and If I behaved myself be would snanatee more protection, ttoaoAI could get la any city la tbe country. "Tbe next day I went over to Darlington, Which is tbe Indian agency; the storehouses snd the schools are there.

I had a letter to Oaptala Lee, who was in charge. lie told me that there was no denser of sny uprising in that country unless tbe stock of canoed fruits save out. In that case be would not stay la tha country. "I learned that tbe Indians worked. up an unsatisfied appetite for canned goods.

In 1517 the sultan, Selim, while in Cairo, came across poor wretch by the name of El-Mostanrir-bl-HIah, who was no other than the eighteenth caliph of the second branch of the Abassidea. Sultan Selim, In a perfectly lawful manner. bought over all El-Mostansir's rights to the title of caliph: about the same time and keeper of the holy cities. Mecca and Medina, the man who reigns at Constantinople, Is and will remain, whatever happens, the padlschab, or king or kings, the spiritual head of the wnose name must oe ntterea in tne prayers ot the mosques all the -disciples of Mahomet.

Such Is the position of Abdui-Hamld In the Mussulman world. His spiritual dominion extends far beyond the confines of his empire, since ft stretches over the Mussulman population of Asia and Africa. Now, Abdni-Hamld is strongly imbued with the idea of Islam's divine right, which teaches tbat the Infidels must be crushed under the feet of the true believers, and that no one has the right to live without tbe permission of tbe caliph, vicar of the prophet. Thanks to the sultan's directions, the Mussulman propaganda has become more snd more active, and religious teaching has taken on a more and more exclusive and fanatical' character. Since Abdul-Hamid has reigned over the Turkish empire there la no chapter of the Koran that has been more carefully studied than the Djchad, or "holy war." The essence of this holy war doctrine is found in several verses of tha Koran, such as: "Fight against Jhem (the infidels) until they no longer make any resistance in favor of Idolatry, and their religions recognise the right God." From this and similar passages the Mussulman divines have concluded that those who do not recognise the divine mission of Islam have no fight to live on a footing, even of relative political equality, with the followers of the prophet, la a state governed according to genuine principles of Mussulman theology.

Hence the persecutions and massacres which, la the past few, years have stained the Turkish empire with blood, li As for the war waged against the Infidels, to make them recognize the true God, the Turks had given pp the straggle only when unbelievers hsd become numerically superior, every war against the Christians having resulted In a partial dismemberment. of the Ottoman empire. The humiliations Imposed by Europe on Turkey had discredited the high priest of Islam. The sultan was bitterly blamed for his concessions to the Christian civilization. The religious bonds -whk formerly united all the Mussulman populations of the world to the caliph at Constantinople gradually became loosened.

The religious supremacy of the sultan was questioned in more than one country, and this supremacy was usurped, so to speak, by the chiefs of numerous sects, particularly In Alg'ers. The development of Mussulman sects and of religious associations, such as the "Senoussl, had a tendency to gradually destroy the unity of the 'Mussulman world and to ruin the power of Europe towardsjthe sultan, and the victories of the Turkish soldiers in Thessaly, have given to the saltan renewed moral vigor and Influence, while at 'the same time they tended to excite Mahomedan fanaticism. Edhem Pasha's easy -victories In Thessaly are looked upon, in the Mussulman world, as perfect triumphs, and this notwithstanding the fact that tha Turkish army waa fourW five times greater than the Greek forces. Tfce Mussulman fanatics were at last able to see, after a long and unbroken series of defeats, the Orescent again take the offensive and compel the Cross to retres. What glory for tbe padischah, "who Is the shsdow of God hlmself'1 What a momentous event for those fanatics who dream of Islam's- revenge, and to whom it has beea told that the submission of Thessaly to the saltan's authority was but the beginning of a period of conquest, and that the times were near when the Infidel nations would be humiliated and crushed under the feet of the -true believers.

The defeat of the Greeks, which the Mussulman population considered as the defeat of Christendom and of western civilisation Ot Europe, in other words, had a far greater echo than we have any idea of. Aft anonymous writer in the Revu de Paris, who appears to be Terf well-Informed concerning what Is taking place in the Mussulman world, s-lves the following striking account of the sentiments harbored Just now toy the fanatics of lalam yy y- 1 Recently, In Tunis, a troop of Syrian ballet girls were dancing in the eTenlng, under a large tent, on the avenue-de la Merlne.
