what may be called the course of ac-

haven't my Bible handy-it's upstairs
in my bedroom-or I would give you
the story word for word. There is
Bible in the sitting room, but it is
there for show, and not for use. 1t be-
longs to my housekeeper, Mrs. Brown,
and she'd have fit if anyone should
move it from its customary place. So
[ will just tell you the story in my own
blunt way, and you can take your Bible
and compare my version with the ver-
sion as found in the first book of Sam
uel, and take notice if have missed
the mark very much.
Once upon time the children of Is
rael, actuated by belief that Manifest
Destiny was leading them on, gathered
together their hosts to fight against
the Philistines. They took along the
Ark of the Covenant, believing that
the presence of the Ark alone would be
sufficient to drive the Philistines into
the Great Sea. l believe the Russians
have tried to carry on war after some
what similar manner-to the entire sat-
isfaction of their opponents, the Japan
ese. But that's another story, and
smacks of irrelevancy. The children
of Israel, firmly believing they would
annihilate the Philistines-with the
help of the Ark, of course-set up q
loud cry of jubilation before the fight
ing had begun. The Philistines, when
they heard the shouting and the noise
were sorely dismayed, and became
more so when they learned what caused
the Israelites to celebrate their victory
before they had won it. "Lo," they
said, "their gods have come into their,
camp. These be the gods that smote the
Amorites, and the Dowieites, and the
Hittites, and the Hoboites before them,
and who shall withstand them? Phil
istines, your name is dough-unless
you get hump onto yourselves. Phil
istines, now is the time to show that
you are men-and to fight like demons.
Let every man grid up his loins, and
draw his sword, and wade in!"
So they waded in, and they slew Of
the lsraelites $4,000 men that drew the
sword, including two of their generals,
Hophni Phinehas and Sasselitoh. And
they captured seventeen assaults and
batteries, and two trainloads of ammu-
milton, and the Ark of the Covenant,
and sundry barrels of saki, and much
spoil. And they tore up the track of the
Jerusalem and Vladivostok Railroad,
3 and they pursued the enemy beyond
t the Hum river, even to the gates of
!. Mukden, on the way from Liao Yang
l to Harbin. "
t Now, Hiram, these Philistines were
Q but poor benighted heathens, but they
Q had the right notions in their noodles
t all the same. They sought to discover
J. the truth, and because they didn't take a
one sided view of the situation they
g discovered the truth the first flop out
: of the box. Then they knew there was
9 something to be done, and they wadeG
J. in and did it, and-go you and do like
n wise for if you don't I'll wade into you
