Italy’s treatment of her Arab 
prisoners in Tripoh has’ brought 
down upon her the condemnation of 
the press of nearly all civilized 
countries, some of which have con- 
veniently forgotten similar episodes 
‘in their own wars with savage or 
barbarous tribes. Inexcusable as 
are the deeds of blood attributed to 
the combatants on both sides—the 
Italian cruelties are said to have 
been in the nature of reprisals for 
unspeakable treatment of their 
atrocities are committed in defense 
of their fatherland, while even if it 
be admitted that such is diserimin- 
ate bloodshed is an unavoidable ae- 
companiment of an African war it 
may also be argued that Italy was 
not forced to begin hostilities, but 
apparently entered upon the 'Tripo- 
litan adventure with a light heart in 
the expectation that the isolated 
Turkish province would) prove an 
easy conquest. Lest any arms should 
be brought into the eity for use 
against themselves, the Italians 
have established a striet system of 
searching all incoming travelers, 
hke the camel driver shown in the 
illustration, and some of the tales 
of horror that come from Tripoli 
relate to executions connected with 
these searches.

Lawn Checkers, a Game for the 
Benefit of the Spectators. 
Checker enthusiasts will have an 
opportunity to watch their favorite 
game played in a novel style when 
“dawn checkers’’ will be demon- 
strated at a public tournament in 
New York. The game is played on 
a large canvas, twenty-four feet 
square, which is stretched upon turf 
or the floor of a large hall. Square 
erboard effect on a grand scale. 
The pieces, which are made of 
papier mache, are correspondingly 
large and are moved by means of 
poles with hooks at one end. 
Husband (punishing Tommy): 
“‘T’ll teach you to be imprudent. 
(whack! Whack!) Take that. 
(Whack!) Oh, you needn’t bawl. 
I’m not half done with you yet. 
(Whack. )

fellow so unmercifully. He’s got his
