Wooipss and

Many LaDds.

Among most OF the many and very
different races domiclled In Algeria II
Is customary TO carry the bride over
the threshold OF her husbands dwoll-
Ing. Indeed We find this peculiar mar
riago custom all over the world and re-
corded at all times. In old Rome. from
whose pagan rites so many OF all civil
lizatlona marriage customs come. the
bride was carried home with process

The Jerusalem Cemetery Story

Concerning the story that Presbyterian
cemetery IN Jerusalem had been sold to
get money for missions. the Rev. T. Mar
shall, field secretary Of the American
board of foreign missions, said:
1.-THE fact is that we had a cemetery
there, but no missionary work has been
done in Palestine by any American church
since 1919. The nearest Presbyterian mis-
sion is at Beyroot, Syria, $50 miles to the
month of Jerusalem. Our cemetery was
sold a few months ago, the sum paid for
it being $4,000. The reason for the sale, SO
far as I know, was that 1t was a useless
possession, there being no one in Jerusa-
lem to look after it and the repairs cost
ing money that we did not care TO divert
from other channels. But the idea that 1t
was sold to provide for the mission cause
is too ridiculous to entertain for moment.
Why, there are many individuals in the
United States who would put their hands
in their pockets and give that sum If il
were needed. I suppose the cemetery has
not been E,ed for many years-perhaps as
many as fifty-and, of course, when the
bodies were removed there would be very
little left to be reintecred, and many of
them, have no doubt, were unidentlfia Bile,
because headstones and other marks of
Identification had been destroyed.-Chicago go

position, that we might advance nearer
and get a shot of more certainty, our ST.
lence was broken by the sergeant's remark
| that he had killed deer as far away as
that and thought he could kill ope of these.
We all agreed to let him take shot, and
estimated the distance at 800 yards. When
he got in his position, which he calls the
Texas grip, and selecting the one on the
right, told us to look out for him. At the
crack of his rifle, to my great surprise,
down came the animal with it's back bro
ken. The others being bewildered, ran in
circle like, stopping in standstill some
what nearer to us. All hands estimated
450 yards. Again he selected the one on the
right, and at the crack of the gun again
the animal dropped, shot through the
heart. The other three leaped off in an
other direction as we estimated 600 yards.
Then the sergeant adjusted his sights to
that distance, and to my greatest surprise
he killed the third one. The other two sep
arated and one of them came back near the
first one that was shot, when he stood
broadside to us and the sergeant fired, but
shot low and broke both front legs just
above the knee. After a little skirmishing
about in the brush we found him, and one
more shot from the old Springfield rifle
with the sergeant behind it gave us four
out of five caribou and only five shots fired
and by only one man at that. We went into
camp with flying colors and were the cen
ter of attraction that evening.
One of the party inquired of the sergeant
where he had obtained such proficiency In
craftsmanship, when he pulled his coat
open and exhibited a splendid gold badge
from the army, distinguished marks
mans medal, won by him in 1889 in the di-
vision competition of the army, Depart
mept of the East. Our party were on this
| hunt for several days and killed six deer
two elk and four caribou, of which Ser
geant Richardson killed four caribou, three
deer and one elk, and he killed them all
| over 300 yards except one deer. which he
| shot on the run and about $50 yeards dis
tance, breaking his neck.-J. S. Jones, U

a slight rally was caused by buying by
