At Sycamore, ILL.,, Il we'll known busl-

Bible in the safe Tie custom was
commenced long time ago. and the
big steel box is never locked up unless
it contains the book. II is kept in the
money drawer Of the safe. II is found
necessary To remove ii occasionally, but
it is always carefully replaced.
The men who adopted this queer
practice when they commenced busl-
ness years ago have little to say in eX-
planation In all their business life
their safe or store has never been rob

tlnuous good business and are among
the most successful business houses of
the town. All OF the members of the
firm attend the churches Of the town,
but all are liberal In their religious
views, and the prevailing belief in the
town Is that Holy Writ is kept in the

This same curl, standing forth from a

Lord Kitchener of Khartum is credit
ed with the best description of came
back riding that is known. The sol
dier gave this description at a dinner
party in London which some Ameri
cans attended.
when We asked Lord Kitchener,
one of the Americans said, ITO tell us
what it felt like to ride camel he
twisted his mustache and said,
"'You know the game Of cup and
ball? You have ball and cup, and
you throw the bah In the air and try
to catch 1t in the cup, then bounce it
up and try To catch II again. Well
when you ride a camel the brute plays
cup and bail with yon, missing you
nearly every time.
