Tho Tomb of Lazarus,


The tomb is reached by descent
of 20 or more slippery, worn and of
course dirty steps,
The Moslems regard Lazarus as a
saint and have erected Il mosque
over tho place of his burial. Chris
tians are, of course, forbidden to en-
ter this mosque, and thus the steps
(made in the sixteenth century,
down which we have entered are ac-
counted for. In fact, there is now,
| believe, no entrance from the
mosque. The stairway leads to a
small, square nntechnmber. Turn to

inal entrance now walled up The
tomb is high enough to stand up

and lined with masonry. 1t is large
enough to hold quite company.
As to its identity with the historic
tomb Of Sacred Writ, opinion is d.
vided. We have accounts Of its be-
ing visited in the twelfth century.
That it is a very ancient tomb and

"a Reproach and an InfamY.

1t is no cxaggeration to say that
an Indian war in the state of Mime
sofa in the year 1898 is an infamy in
itself and a most damning reproach
to the government OF the United
States, says the Springfield Repub-
llcan. An Indian war might as
well break out in Michigan or
northern New York. Minnesota
has been state in the Union for 40
years and has all the benefits of
what we call civilization. How is
1t possible for these awards of the
nation to go to war against what
they know to be an overwhelming
power, unless they have been goadcd
to it by misgovernment, peculation
and wrongs?

went down the boulevard. AS we
reached Sixty fifth street another
dog ran up to my little Curlylocks,
and the two scampered down the
street, never needing me. l staid
there and waited for my dog, and 1
went all around the streets and
never found him."
Don't he alarmed, lady" said
the sergeant. He'll turn up soon. :"

woman. "He has been stolen, l
know, for Curlyloclls never would
stay away from home willingly. l
want your policemen to hunt for
him, and l will pay nice reward
to the man who gets him."
The sergeant and captain both as
sured her that they would turn the
precinct upside down to find that
dog, and the woman left, somewhat
more hopeful than before. Nothing
was heard of her and the dog for
two days, but at the end of that
time the woman reappeared in the
station house.
