"RIFF FIGHTER ENDS ' 4TH YEAR OF EXILE &k‘d—EI-Krlm Lives Like French Colonist in Island of Reunion. By the Assoclated Presss ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar, May 8.—Abd-el-Krim, the last Moor to at- tempt re-establishment of a native empire in Morocco, is nearing the end | of gfls fourth year of exile in the llr-! away island of Reunion, 500 miles east | of Madagascar. The Indian Ocean “sits and smiles" at the ex-chieftain of the Riff, who put up a successful fight for many months egainst the French and Spanish Armies until he surrendered, May 26, 1926. Lives Like Colonist. He was promptly hurried off the #cene, furnll?rnnd all, to be forgotten ind to forget. . Everything possible has been done to make him feel like a French colonist. He goes where he likes and does what he likes—on Reunion. But there is & ndarme officer to see to it that he ards no boats. As he remains a great personality in the Arab world he occasionally has visitors who come from Africa to do him honor. It being the policy of the French government to keep on good terms with all elements in the Arab world, these visitors are treated with consideration and given the freedom of the isle. Keeps In Trim by Hunting. As Reunion is almost entirely wild fnountain country there is plenty of room for the diversion of Kings, so Abd-el-Krim and his gendarme com- panion keep in trim by hunting. Reunion is on the whole a happler fsland than was St. Helena. Abd-el- Krim is a mussulman and a fatalist. ‘Whati s must be. AN .

It wa in his lifetime supposed by some that his name was Willlam, but my own father always consistently sald, No, it was Willum. On which point I content myself with looking at the argument this way: If a man is not allowed to know his own name in a free country, how much is he allowed to know in a | land of slavery? I was born on the Queen's highway, but it was the King's at that time. A doctor was fetched to my own mother by my own father, when it took place on a common, and in consequence of his being & very kind gentleman and ac- cepting no fee but a tea-tray, I was named Doctor, out of gratitude and compliment to him. There you have me. Doctor Marigold. tray, you'll guess that my father was a Cheap-Jack before me. You are right, He was. And my father was a lovely one in his time at the Cheap-Jack work. (A cheap-jack was a dealer in usually inferior goods of low price; also some- time called a Cheap-John). Now I'll tell you what. I mean to g0 down into my grave declaring that, of all the callings ill-used in Great Britain, the Cheap Jack calling is the worst used. Why ain’t we a profession? Why ain't we endowed with privileges? Why are we forced to take out a hawk- er's license, when no such thing is ex- pected of the political hawkers? Where's the difference betwixt. us?
