Shepherd. In Modern Bethlehem.

From the greatest height in Bethle-
hem a distant glimpse Of even the
Mediterranean sea may be perceived
on a clear. bright day. The strange
beauty of the surroundings Of Bethle-
hem, viewed from the town itself. as
well as from all the neighbOring
heights, may have inspired in the
young shepherd King David some of
those inspiring psalms which have
been the comfort of the afflicted
throughout all ages.
In Il beautiful valley near Bethle-
hem are the fields of the shepherds"
OF sacred memory. These fields are
still used as pasture lands. and many
a young David may be seen tending
his flock with the same care as the
shepherds Of yore. When he rests In a
shady place during the sultry hours OF
the day the sheep gather around him
and chew the cud. If there happens
to be a wounded one or a little weak
one he carries il on his shoulder or in
the wide bosom of his long white shirt

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.-A re-
port received by the management of
the Yosemite club this morning indi-
Gates that there will be no necessity
OF postponlng the Jeffries- Munroe
tight. The greatest difficulty now con-

a referee. While no serious hitch is
anticipated. the refusal of Munroe's
manager to accept Graney causes much
worry. Manager Pollock reiterated to-
day that he would not accept Graney
under any circumstances. Harry Cor
bett and Eddie Smith are suggested by
outsiders, but are not considered by
club or fighters managers. Betting to-
day is 100 to 40 on Jeffries with few
Wagers. The sale of seats is slow.
