Palmer In a Chariof

While the late Gen. Palmer was mill
tary governor of Kentucky, a disturb
ance occurred in a small town in the
interior, .ad 1t was necessary fO- him
to go there at once. There was no
train. no carriage, no buggy TO be got;
the only vehicle available was a big.
gilded circus chariot left by some
stranded show company. .SHe didn't
like il. but there was nothing else to do.
so he got in. The general cut great
dash as he drove through small town.
People turned out in droves to see him
pass. When he left the town behind
and reached the plantations, the ne
groes saw him and stared with open
mouths. They followed at Il respect
full distance, until presently they were
joined by an old white-haired preach
er, who on seeing Gen. Palmer in his
magnificent chariot, raised his eyes
and his arms on high, and. in Il voice
that stirred all within hearing. cried:
"Bress de Lord, de day of Judgment
am come, an dis gemman am de Angel
Gabriel hisself Bredren, down on yo'
knees an pray, fo' yO' hour am hyar."

A Ifterary Treasure Troxe.

One Of those romantic discoveries OF
literary treasure trove which one often
hears of but somehow has never the
good luck to experience has recently
befallen a Leeds man. Harold p.
Dom. Some five years ago Mr. Dom
was at an auction sale in Briggate
Leeds, when he picked up battered
old volume on Hebrew customs for
half a crown. He has recently become
aware that the book is of considera
bic value, and, on submitting it to n
Leeds gentleman whose opinion on
such matters is of some weight, lie was
informed that the value of his pur.
chase might be estimated at between
$500 ana 600.
The book does not look worth the
money. 1t can boast only one cover,
and the first few pages have Gisap.

ties" and the work on Hebrew ceremo
nies, which constituted the valuable
portion. This is entitled "MOses and
Aaron. Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites
Used by the Ancient Hebrews; Observ.
ed at Much Pain for the Clearing OF
Many Obscure Texts Throughout the
Holy Scripture" There Is some more
title, but this is sufficient for a sample.
The book is by one Thomas Godwyn,
B. D., whose preface is dated 1924,
while the date of issue of this edition,
the eleventh. is 1878. 1t constitutes q
complete compendium Of Hebrew Gus
toms, and is compiled largely from au.
thOrities whose works are now lost.
