: III before this magic window. and the world
runs past,
Revolving like wheel, whose hither rim
Whirls fast beneath my gaze. whose thither
edge rolls slow,
And these the scenes that reel by endlessly:
Green elistening seas OF corn uptossinR feath-
ers Of brown spume,
And yellow shored with beaches of ripe
wheat
which, like Ulysses feigning madness. farmers
drive along
And sheaf in heaps Of rich, unsterile gold;
Unceasing meadows leyeled unto oceanic
calm
And sprinkled with faint tinkling herds that
Craze
And wind hoofed colts that fee us, half for
fear and half for fun;
Hills dotted with snowdrifts Of huddled
sheep;
Thick shadowed forests haunted by 1.-the Dry
ads fond of flowers
And thrsting alway for cool deeps OF shade.
But hear the sudden roar that shoots with us
the trestled stream,
Come gayly sauntering its winding path,
which leads from wide skied hills through
dingy twilights Of big towns,
And on unto the everlasting sea.
Betimes our tempest footed runner shrieks
triumphantly
And halts to rest him at wee villages,
Where cluster awkward louts all rags, all stare
and blatant tongues,
Yet owning souls more marvellous than stars
Then straightway on again, with painting
breath and changing bell,
To race the rivaling wind across the plain.
Too soon the journey ends. The city swallows
us too soon,
But God be praisedi few glad hours
Grant modern eyes view of skies and seas,
towns, farms and trees,
world more wide than ancient lifetimes
knew.

The Doctor, to HIS Credit, Did Not Laugh
at the Mothers Fears.
There was a commotion in house
hold on Fourth avenue the other
day. The brand new baby, the only
infantile specimen in the Nuwed
home, was in the arms of its doting
mother, who was looking for some
new portion of it's pink anatomy to
kiss and admire. Suddenly there
was a scream, followed by a hysteric-
oil half an hour, while the servants
were sent in breathless search for
the family doctor. When the grave
old physician entered the room, the
poor woman was walking to and fro
like one distracted pausing now and
then to grasp her growing child to
her, then replacing it in its cradle to
resume her nervous tread, weeping
and wringing her hands.
"Oh, doctorl My poor babyl Save
him if you canl But l know you
can't. Oh, my poor childW
For five minutes or more this con-
tinued in spite of the physicians eff
forts to learn what was the matter.
He examined the child, saw nothing
that apparently allied it, and at last,
with patience almost gone, insisted
on an explanation. Composing her
self little, the frightened mother
finally said
Look at it's poor little head, doc
tor. There, right on top. See that
soft spot9 How it is beating 1t
hasn't stopped for more than an
hour. 1 know something dreadful is
the matter, but you mustn't keep it
from me. Tell me the worst at once. !"
To the undying honor of that doc
tor, he did not laugh. All he said
was: "My dear little woman, pray
that that beating will continue.

DATE OF THE EXODUS.

1t Would Seem to Lie Somewhere Be-
tween 143O and 1900 B. C.
Although the monuments and papyri
give us no direct information upon the
subject of the exodus, they do Indirect
ly indicate a certain period within
which it must have taken place, says a
writer in Scribner's Magazine. Thoth-
mes Ill, who was the most powerful
king of that dynasty (the eighteenth)
which finally drove the Hylsos in
vaders out of Egypt and reunited the
whole country under one scepter, ex-
tended his conquests as far as Mes
opotamia, overrunning Palestine on
his way. He left lists of the con-
quered nations, but does not mention
the Israelites among them: Rameses
II. of the nineteenth dynasty, the
supposed oppressor, who reigned
about two hundred years Later,
also subdued Palestine and left
lists of the conquered peoples,
but he, again., does not mention
the Israelites among them. What
is, perhaps, still more important is
that, while the Israelites have left rec
ords of invasions by Mesopotamians,
Moabites, Canaanites, Midianites and
Philistines, they do not mention any in
yas1on by the Egyptians, and the con-
.clusion is that the Israelites were not
settled on the west side of Jordan till
after the wars waged by Rameses II.
at the commencement of his reign,
which began not earlier than 1888 B. c.,
or. as some now say, 1866 B. C.. 1t has
been attempted to explain this diff
Guilty away by suggesting that Rameses
II. kept close to the seacoast on his
march through Palestine and did not
strike inland till he was some distance
to the north of the Israelites, but it is
inconceivable that he should not have
secured his long line of communica-
tions by establishing posts so far in
land that they must have been brought
into contact with the Hebrews if the
latter had at that time been settled in
their own country. The earliest date,
therefore. at which the Egyptian his
tory viii permit the exodus to have
taken place. even when full allowance
is made for the time spent by the Jews
in the wilderness and in conquering
Palestine, would seem to be about 143O
B. c., while, if the shorter chronology
be adopted, it could not have been
much earlier than 1900 B. C.

Roasted.
MINERAL LANDS TO BE RESTORED

Ladies will Not Decorate Unless
Breckenridge Is Expelled.

MCMINNvILLE, May 22.-The resi-
dence of NJ. Shadden, one of the oldest
and most respected citizens in the COM
munitY, was burned at midnight.
Mrs. Shadden's 10-year-old daughter
perished in the flames, and Mr.. Shad-
den's Youngest son, a boy of 9, received
fatal Injuries. Mrs. Martha Shadden,
so years of age, and pioneer of 1912,
and her blind son Riley were taken
from the burning building naked. It is
feared the aged woman will not survive
the shock. Mr.. and Mrs. Shadden
barely escaped with their lives. It was
the most horrible holocaust eyer known
in this section of the state, and the
town is almost in frenzy of excitement.
The building was said to be the first res
idence erected in McMinnville The
fire was discovered few minutes after
midnight by a passer-by, who at once
aroused the sleeping family. Mr.. Shad-
den was first aroused, and by the time
he had carried his wife into the open
air, the entire building was in flames.
Single-handed he fought them back
while he secured his aged mother and
blind brother. An effort was made to
rescue the boy, who slept on the second
floor. The poor little fellow was badly
burned, and in his agony jumped into
the street. Tie parboiled flesh across
his abdomen was burst open, and his
bowels gushed forth. In his suffering
and pain he begged those about him to
kill him. Skilled surgeons did all they
could to relieve his awful sufferings. At
late hour he is still living, but the sur
geons say his death is certainty.
The little girl whose life was sacrificed
had evidently attempted to make her
way out of the building, but was lost in
the awful roar of flames and smoke, and
lay down to meet her fate. She was not
seen after the fire was discovered, and
not until the smouldering ruins were
cleared away were her charred remains
recovered. The lower limbs were burned
entirely away, and the remainder of the
body was burned beyond recognition
The frenzied parents of the children
rushed about the burning building in
awful agony. Friends and kind neigh.
bors could scarcely restrain them from
throwing themselves headlong into the
flames

Miss Legation. Do tell me which is
the pretty one and which the clever
one"
Again. to famous army officer and
his wife, who were telling her how
much they had enjoyed her dinner
party, she cheerily said:

Being presented to plainly dressed

unwittingly, one of the richest of the
old residents, whose house on Lafay-
cite square is almost historic, and
who had the tact and kindness not to
set her right.
Perhaps Mrs. Malaprop's most ia
nous speech is of as late date as last
spring, just before she went abroad.
Coming down to greet morning caller
in her wrapper, Mrs Malaprop said
very sweetly:

Pitiable.

The Condition is, Indeed, Some what
Pitiable.
WILLIAMsPoRr, May 21.-As night ap-
preached and darkness settled down
the terrors of the food increased. The
torrents rushing down from the hill
sides and growing each passing minute,
assumed new terrors, and the stricken
people look forward with dread to the
ordeal through which they must pass
before morning. No railroad communi-
cation, and with no avenue of tele-
graphic or telephone Communication,
save the quivering wire over which this
dispatch is speeding; surrounded on
every hand by the slowly rising des-
troyer, which has already swept away
81 900 900 worth of property and may
sweep away a million more, the con-
dition of Williamsport is, indeed, pitt
able. With 33 feet more water in it's
north branch of the Susquehana threat
ened to engulf the town. Every foot of
ground in the city is under four feet of
water and most of it is fifteen feet be-
meath the surface of the stream Many
families are homeless. Hundreds more
expect to be driven from their houses in
the second stories where they have
found refuge before day, and unless the
flood ceases there is no power on earth
that can avert a greater disaster than
has already come upon this helpless
city. The loss of property cannot be
approximated until the waters recede
and accounts are cast up. The gas and
electric light plants are under water and
the city is without lights. Everyone is
desperate, terror-stricken and discour-
aged.
AT LEWIsBURG.
The Susquehanna Continues Rising at
That Point.
! LEwIsBURG, Pa, May 21.-The sweep
ing torrent that yesterday bounded over
the banks of the Susquehanna river con-
tinues to rise at the rate of eight inches an
hour. In few hours it will be as high
as it was in 1889, and the heavy rains
that fell yesterday, and that continued
today, will no doubt swell the deluge al
least four feet higher. The whole Sus-
quehanna valley is inundated, and the
destruction and destitution is wide
spread. Lewisburg is situated on high
ground and has not been damaged, with
the exception of some buildings on the
surrounding flats which have been
carried away on the crest of the fearful
current. The water works, gas works
and electric light plant, which are
located along the river. have beer
stopped and until the flood recedes the
town will be without water or light Of
any kind. On the f.ewisburg & Tyrone
railroad number of bridges have been
carried away. Hundreds of families are
homeless and destitute of provisions
and with the water rapidly rising, the
night is entered upon with feeling o.
horror. Millions of feet of logs and cut
lumber and buildings of every kind have
swept past here in the river since yester.
day. Business has been suspended.
