Pug the proofs submitted fer their con-
s;deration were too flimsy. and. de-
spite the appeal of Senator Sherman,
the special pleading of Congressman
Little anil Butterworth. and the wild
tomtoms of the one hundred Republic

tors had to join four Democrats in
diSmissing the charges of Editor Dom

near Damascus that Saul of Tarsus saw
the light above the brightness of the
sun; the street which is called Straight,
in which it is said. ''he prayed" still
runs through the city. The caravan
comes and goes as it did thousand
years ago. Th.re is still the Sheik,
the ass and the water-wheel. The
merchants of the Euphrates and
the Mediterranean still occupy"
