How a Drummer Caught Two Min
listers on an Easy Question.
New York Herald.
Abashed at nothing, a CONNER
cial traveller in the south once
propOunded question to a couple
of clergymen, whom he encoun-
tered on a railroad train, which il
Illustrates how easily man may be
tripped on a simple, little "catch"
problem.
The drummer entered into a con-
VersatiOn with the ministers and
entertained them amazingly with
his brilliant conversation, touching
men and affairs. Gradually the
topics changed, until at last the
talk was of DR.. Talmage and his
visit to the holy land.
Speaking of the Holy Land"
said the graceless commercial
man, 81 was quite interested to
read in New York paper recently
that a party of explorers in Pal
estine had discovered a huge heap
of bones, which, from their size
and quantity, are supposed to be
Of the children which HerOd Or
dered killed. They were found in a
cave, which had been closed for
centuries, which accounts for their
preservation"
"Indeedw replied one of the
clergymen, much interested, Il
had not heard of it. 1t is certainly
a surprising discovery"
"Yes," continued the drummer,
"and, oddly enough, while nearly
half of the bones are bleached
white, the rest were as black as
ebony"
"Remarkable," calculated the
clergyman, who had already spok-
On, while the other looked at the
drummer suspiciously.
"What is your theory" he con-
tinued. "DO you think it possible
that the bleached bones could be
Of males, and the black of females?"
"Possibly," replied the more
communicative clergymen. 81 am
not an anatOmist, however, and
can't say what effect long exposure
has on the bones of the sexes"
"And yOu," persisted the drum
mer to the other. "What is your
opinion? DOyou think it possible
that the white bones belong to
male infants and the black to fe-
male, or vice versa? That is the
problem that now excites the dis
covers"
"Really," replied the other, 81
don't know, but possibly, as you
first put it, the white bones NAV
be of the male children, and the
black of the female"
Shortly after this the clergymen
reached their destination and left
the train. Just as it was about
moving OIL, the drummer, who had
been chuckling to himself the
meanwhile, thrust into the hand OF
one a card, upon which was writ
ten the words:
Excuse me II suggest that you
read your bibles hereafter with
greater care. Had you done so in
the past, you would have known
hat boy babies only were ordered
lain by Herod,"
