WJicn wc spoke of being saturated, we meant just that. The sweat, not prespiration, simply came off in rolls. There have been men who stepped ,off a boat with more joyous feeling than, wc'1 had when we came ashore at Cairo. The slow trip thru the canal, and the ship's stale . food, the heat and the tropical smells that were so. new and trying to us, made any sort of land ing a mighty welcome thing. All that is seen, about the luxury of steam boat in the Orient is just fine reading. There is more, to .endure' there than there is on our mountain roads in the winter time. , But Cairo. ..There is where the East meets West. There is where at certain times . of the year are ' tn be seen the ultra rich from the four I corners of the earth. And also mere arc to be seen the -paupers fromth.' four corners. And all the other classes as, well. The European army officers stationed there arc so smartly gotten up in the 'matter; of di'css- and ser vants that thev seem almost artificial. The East is typified in the wattle and daub quarters of the natives out away from the European 'center, of the town. The West is noticed in the paving of the streets, and in' the American drinks' served in every bar. Also is Standard oil and Singer sew ing macnines. fortune tellers, boot blacks, guides and donkey boys swarm like gnats aiter every new cojner till he hires one of them. Then the rest fight, among themselves for a , while as to who was to blame for each one not getting the job. The best way is to hire the toughest looking ruffian that you can find and tell him that you do not want to be bothered 'with ''the rest and that his pay will depend on just how free he keeps your path of them. Any time you happen to drop down in Cairo, just remember that. The most Oriental shops are to be found in Cairo. All kinds of bead work, rugs in the most gorgeous de signs, hand shaped brass ware, pot trey and all kinds of cheaper trink ets. The price is not the question. That will come down to a mere pit tance seemingly.
