THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM.
Life of the Modern Holy
City.

These cafe groups, and the passing
throng before them, you will study
with wonder and will put to YOU
dragoman endless questions about
them, says the author of an enter
tanning article on Jerusalem, in Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly. And his
knowledge will be at once your adj
miration and despair. He will tell
you at glance all about anyone you
point out. This man is peasant
from Sloan; he is a Christian, and
has just sold load of barley. The
man behind him comes from Ramleh,
eight hours distant; he walked in
this morning with his wife; there
she is across the street buying nuts,
that woman in blue. These three by
the door are from village beyond
Bethlehem; two are Christians and
the third a Moslem. They are con-
cluding a bargain, see them slap their
hands together and bind it. The old
man in the white turban and blind
in one eye (see the lemon leaf jump
in his water bottle) is a Mcslem from
El Birch, with grain to sell There
is his camel kneeling. Here comes
Bedouins with donkey train; they
live in black tents down Jericho way.
The two girls passing them are gyp-
sizes from the Damascus Gate; see
their faces are uncovered; they are
begging. Those fat men in pearl
robes are rich Jews from Persia
there. coming out of the shop with
the umbrellas. Those purple-shroud-
ed women going in the carriage are
Moslems; the one in white, with a
red-howered veil and leading the lit
tie girl, is a Jewess; the one with
a baby strapped on her back is an
Ain Karin peasant come to meet her
husband, who is at the mosque.
And so on until you wonder if the
dragoman is not imposing on your
credulity. for what he does seems no
whit easier than to walk up Brond-
way and pick men out by callings and
towns-an insurance agent from
a butcher from Pough-
keepsie; a reporter hurrying to a
ire. You ask anyone else if what he
says is true; ask the people them
selves and You will get the same in
1t is absolutely true.

The business man who only adj
vertises spasmodically, that is for
a limited period and then drops
out for some weeks or months,
does not receive the full value of
his advertising expenditure. He
reaps no benefit from the cumula-
tive value of constant publicity.
His periodical announcement will
bring some results in proportion
to their individual merit, but the
Impressions of his last effort have
faded out of the memory of the
purchasing public before the next
one appears. 1t is like starting
anew. What good impressions
have been effected are lost and
have to be re-established by each
subsequent effort, instead Of being
preserved and constantly added to,
as is the case with the persistent
advertiser.

Hon. J. George Wright, in his
annual report, says: "The prime
object Of the government, and the
most important work to be accom-
plished in the Indian territory, is
the allotment of the lands in sew
crafty of citizens of the five civil
lied tribes" There are two parties
to the agreement, the Indians and
the federal government. The In
dians, as rule, are not kicking at
the progress made by the Dawes
Commission. 1t is up to them
here in the northern district and
when the treaties are ratified the
work will still be further acceler-
ated. The tribal councils have not
yet gone on record as charging the
commission with dilatory tactics,
but have on the other hand COM
mended the commission for the
work it is doing. When the Greeks
and Cherokees ratify their treaties
there will be little left for any of
the people in the northern district
to kick about. -Muskogee Times.

How vsnezueIa Was Named.

The real meaning of the word ''Vene-
zuela" is Little Venice" and the rea-
son the Spanish discoverers of that
part of South America gave the region
the name is of interest When the old
navigators sailed up the narrow chan
mel that connects Lake Maracaibo with
the sea they found there a peculiar
race Of people. They were lake dwell
lers. There the Spaniards saw a village
built far out in the water, the huts be-
ing placed upon posts, and the scene
so reminded the newcomers OF old
Venice that the town and at length
the entire region was called Venezue-
la. The village semed to be floating
upon the water and the natives went
about in rude canoes. Lake MaracaibO
itself is peculiar body of water The
bottom for miles from shore slopes so
gradually that a man can wade for a
long distance before he gets beyond
his depth. Suddenly, however, there is
a drop, and the center of the lake is of
great depth. At one point in the lake
there is at night a mysterious light,
that flickers and trembles over the
water, and for years and years the in
habitants were puzzled by its presence.
1t was found at last that this will-o'-
the-wisp was due to a deposit of min
eral pitch at the bottom of the shall
low water.-Chicago Record Herald
