ing has moved eastward and now over
lies the eastern gulf states. This low
area has caused heavy rains on the
gulf and light rains throughout Texas
during the past "a hours. Another low
area has appeared in the northwest
and is moving down the Missouri
valley. The high areas extend over
the middle portion of the west and
the Great Lakes. Unsettled cloudy
weather and snow are reported from

CITY OF BETHLEHEM.
It Il . Small and Unattractivo Town at
the Present Time.

It IL Small and Unattractive Town at
the Present Time.
1t is a little city, and it does not take
many people to crowd 1t, but, besides
being the birthplace of Jesus, it is the
birthplace of Israel's great warrior
king, David.
Bethlehem to-day has barely 5000
inhabitants, and in appearance is not
attractive. The streets are too mar
row for vehicles; in fact, there is but
one street in the town wide enough for
carriages, and it is so very narrow that
they cannot pass each other in it. The
streets were made for foot travellers,
donkeys and camels.
Bethlehem is about five miles south of
Jerusalem. Leaving the larger city
by the Jaffa gate, we take carriage
and ride rapidly over the fine road built
but q few years ago. The carriage we
are in and those we meet are wretched
affairs. The horses are to be pitied,
first, because they are not well cared
for, and second, because their drivers
are regular Jehus who drive them stu
riously" uphill and down. In less than
an hour we are in the marketplace of
bethlehem, in front of the Church Of
the Nativity.
Let us suppose we have arrived on
Christmas eve, in time to wander about
and to become acquainted with the
little city.
OF course it has changed in appear
ance since the time of the birth Of
Christ. 1t is larger and better built.
Now as then, the houses are of stone,
and, as cities and customs change but
little in the east, we may safely infer
that modern Bethlehem houses are
much like those of 1900 years ago.
Perhaps some of the old buildings that
were in existence so long ago may
still be standing. Of course the great
Church of the Nativity was not then
erected, nor were any of the large re-
Hgious buildings we see. These are the
honor of Him whose early life began
here. One would have to be unmindful
OF his surroundings and very unimag-
NATIVE not to wonder what the place
was like on that night the anniversary
Of which we are celebrating.
We know that then, as on this Deem
Der "a, it was filled with people. But
those people had come for different
purpose. Augustus Caesar, the master
of the then known world, had issued an
imperial decree ordering a general reg
istration of all his subjects. This was
for the purpose of revising or complet-
ing the tax-lists. According to Roman
law, people were to register in their
own cities-that is, the city in which
they lived, or to which their village or
town was attached. According to
Jewish methods they would register by
tribes, families, and the houses of their
fathers. Joseph and Mary were Jews,
and conformed to the Jewish custom.
1t was well known that he and Mary
were of the tribe of Judah and family
Of David, and that Bethlehem was their
ancestral home. Accordingly, they left
the Nazareth home, in the territory of
Zebulun, and came to Dayid's Gown
city," in the territory of judah.
They came down to the east bank of
the Jordan, crossed the river Of Jericho,

of agony came in the wounded mans eyes,
and his lips whitened. He staggered
against the soldier at his right, who gave
way with the impact, and then he tottered
against the whitewashed stone wall, his
right arm sweeping automatically up and
down the wall as if he were brushing some
thing from the stones. A groan escaped
him, and he dropped on one knee His
eyes turned helplessly towards Dupre, aud
he gasped out the words:
'My Godl-you were right-after all.
Then he fell forward on his face, and the
tragedy ended.
