Tho lows md Jerusalem.

The Jews believe that Palestine viii
again come into their hands. They thus
read the promises of the Bible, and there
are thousands of these Jews of Jerusa-
lem who have come here TO wait the day
when the Lord will descend TO earth and
take his chosen people out of the hands
of the Turks and again build up their
city. Upon the ruins Of SOlomon's tenn
pie now stands the great mosque OF
Omar, which is to the Mohammedans
the hottest place outside of Mecca.
A great wall of stone surrounds this
temple plateau, and tins wall is believed
by antiquarians to have been a part OF
the old temple wall inside OF this wall
a Jew can never come, and though it be
the hottest of holy places TO him he can
never look upon it. Turks in uniform
guard the gates, and only secured ad-
mission through a letter TO the sultan's
governor of Jerusalem. who sent me
with a guard of Turkish soldiers to go
through.
1t is the custom of the Jews, however,
to go on certain days of every week to
a place outside this wall. and there, lean
ing with their heads against the stone,
they wall over the loss of Jerusalem,
and pray God to give back the land to
his chosen people. This is known as the
Jews wailing place, and when l waited
it found about fifty men in long gowns,
and ike number of Jewish women
with shawls over their heads, weeping
and praying. Many of the men had
white boards, and the curly locks IN
front of their ears were of spun silver.
Others had boys with them. Some
were in their prime, and the tears-gen-
uine tears-ran down the faces of all,
and some of them were convllsed with
sobbing as they leaned there and prayed
The wailing of one old Jewish woman
rings in my ears to this day, and the
whole cut an impression into my mem

he Gould Not Speak English.

DR.. Isidore Labatut, who died re-
Gently at New Orleans IN the ninety
eighth year of his age, was In several
ways a remarkable man. Although
a native Of Louisiana and a resi-
dent of that state for the larger
part Of his life, he could not speak a
word of English, and persistently refused
to learn the language. He received his
professional education In Paris, where
ne studied for sixteen years.
While in France be was attached to
the surgeons corps of Napoleon's army
as a student in 1904. He saw Nicholas
of Russia, the emperor of Austria and
King Frederick William III of Prussia
when they arrived in Paris, and he was
there when Louis XVIII returned after
the Punishment of Napoleon to the island
Of Elba, and was also present at the de-
feat of Napoleon at Waterloo. Grad
uating in 1918, DR.. Labatut returned to
New Orleans In 1922.
He was possessed OF large inherited
wealth, and in the practice OF his profess
sion made no difference between the
treatment given invalids unable to pay
and those who could satisfy any profess
sional demand for fees. He retained his
mental faculties 70 the last, but for .
twelvemonth previous TO his decease
spent his time in well earned retirement

A PAINFUL INCIDENT.

The Postmaster Thought He'd Beef
ROBBED and Got Into Trouble.
An incident recently occurred in one OF
the towns of Seneca county, New York, III
volving Republican postmaster in serious
embarrassment. As the postmaster, though
G bachelor, has generally been OF exem-
plary habits, pillar liz two churches and
one of Congressman Floods most active
workers, the incident has, rs the 'ocal
paper sometimes remarks of othe' sad
events, least gloom over the entire com
munity."
Owing to the lack of a safe in his office
this postmaster has been in the habit OF
taking his money and postage stamps
home with him every night in small
sRchel. This sachel he took to his bed
room, and usually placed under his pillow.
But one night he neglected to put the
sachel in its usual place, merely dropping
II near the door as he entered his bedroom.
That same night the nurse girl employed
by another boarder in the house found 1t
necessary to carry the child in her charge
10 its mothers room. Ia passing through
the unlighted hall she mistook the door
and entered the bedroom of the postmas-
ter.
That vioilsnt official instantly awakened
with the belief that there was burglar In
the room. and reached under his pillow for
his sachel. Not finding il, the thought
crossed his mind that the burglar had al
ready secured it, and he bounded out OF
bed and seized the nurse girl, who was
Rroping about in the darkness. He was just
getting his grip on her throat when she
shrieked and dropped the child which he,
rather by involuntary impulse than delib-
crate intent, saved from wreck by catching
hold of its clothing The girl, finding her
self released, ran out Of the room and into
her own, where she locked the door and
tainted.
The child was by this time screaming
terrific screams. and the dazed postmaster
was trying to think whether to drop the
soft. moist thing into the wash basin or
throw it out Of the window, when its IA
iher and mother entered the room with
lighted candles The mother rushed upon
the postmaster crying, Give me nay baby"
and having rescued il left the room. The
infuriated father demanded, What have
YOU been doing with my cbild;' and began
90 Jerk the postmaster around in way
that might be called 'wiping the floor with
him."
Ii is probable that the postmaster was at
that moment nearer 70 inS2niry than men
often are Who escape it, bUt the rough treat
ment he received saved him. 1t Is known
that the mind works rapidly in the pres
ence OF great danger, aad il seems that by
the time the postmaster's legs had whaCked

Some Noted Jews

"There is Jewr said the Rev. DR..
Blank, as he sat in his study with Jew
hater, and pointed to a plaster cast of
Michael Angeles magnificent head Of
Moses. ''And there is another Jew!' he
added, as he pointed to a painting of the
Veronica Christ. And there are yet
other Jews he couEnued. as he glanced
around his walls at the pictures of the
prophets, apostles and ssges. from David
and Jeremiah 80 Paul and Peter. Yes,
nv Christian brother, these are Jews,
and are they not nen who have voiced
the highest thought of the world for
ages, whose teaching is tire guide OF our
life today and who viii head mankind To

not taken full account Of these things
before hearing his pastors impassioned
words, which, however, set him a-think-

this emotion once or twice, or when he is
