STORY FAILED TO PLEASE,
Raconteur, No Doubt, Wondering at
Americans Stupidity.

NUSTICdn6 . otuplOIty.
Joseph H. Choate since his return
to this country has been telling this
story as indicative of the average Eng
lishman's notorious inability to see the
point of joke.
"On one OCCASION remarked the
ex-ambassador with a smile, Il was
propounding the time-honored conun.
drum about the difference in the man.
her of death between the barber and
the sculptor-the answer being that
while the barber curls and dyes, the
sculptor makes faces and busts.
"One of the party TO whom | was
relating this seemed TO be particular.

after / heard him trying to tell it, with
the following results.
81 heard an awfully good story the
other day about the difference be-
tween barber and sculptor. 1t
makes me laugh even now to think OF
II. You see, the barber curls up and
busts, while the sculptor makes faces
and dies. Pretty good, isn't it, bah
Jove?"
And" continued Mr.. Choate, 81

THE isRAELirEs IN EovPr.
Prof. Flinders Petrie Talks Of Recen
Discoveries


Prof. Flinders Petrie, the Egyptolo
gist, in his new book on the history
of Egypt says that one of the most
important and perplexing finds
made in that ancient land is the
newly discovered inscription on the
stele of Merenptah, the supposed pha-
raoh of what is usually termed "the
exodus" meaning the coming forth of
the Israelites 100000 strong from
the land of Egypt, according to the
history in the book OF Exodus. Egypt
ian monuments have no record of
Israel in Egypt" as an clinical en-
tity. The only mention of the name
of Ysrael or Israel on any monument
is to be found on this stele Of Merenp-
tab. But If these were the same peo-
pie as those of the Hebrew EXODUS"
the deliverance Of the Israelites from
Egypt is turned into the deliverance
OF Egypt itself from the Lybian con-
federacy Of raiding barbarians, among
the horde of which the Israelites were
a hardly distinguishable unit There
is nothing in the inscription to corro-
borate the story told in the Penta-
teuch. On the contrary, the Israelites
mentioned by Merenptah instead OF
going up from Egypt as conquering
army of 100000 fighting men never
really got to Egypt. They were driv-
en- back from the borders of the land
in wreck and ruin by the victorious
Merenptah.

A Kansan's Crouch

Out in Kansas lives a citizen
who has a crouch against his
Uncle Sam and the evidence of
that crouch is right "here in
Washington"
The Kansan, it seem, had a
place as rural letter carrier.
One day while he was out on his
route he was overtaken by play
full Kansas cyclone, which scatter
ed the mail in one direction and
the carrier in another. When
he reached his destination he was
some two hours behind schedule
time, and according to inexorable
government regulation, he was
fined a small sum. He wrote a
letter to the department protest
ing against this injustice. The
letter was warm all the way
through, but especially so in the
peroration, which ran:
"My grandfather fought in the
Revolution, my father in the war
of 1872, and I, though little more
than a lad, carried musket
through the Civil War. If, after
all that, 1 and my family have
done for this government, it
chooses to treat me this way, the
sooner it falls like corrupt Rome

SAM JONES.

The sudden death of Sam Jones
on railroad train near Memphis,
Monday, Oct. 18th, marked the
passing of a man who was known
throughout length and breadth
OF the country, and will cause
genuine regret. Whatever criti-
cism may be made ofhis methods.
the fact remains that he was the
instrument for the accomplish
ment of great good.
Since the days of Moody no
preacher of the gospel be stirred
thereligious emotions as did Sam
Jones. His success, if j measured
by the numbers of those reached
by his persuasion was even great
eg than that of his great predec-
essorin the evangelical field. It
was no uncommon thing for Sam
Jones to talk to an acre ofpeople.
Rather, it was the usual occur
renee for the crowds to be packed
even beyond the power of his
voice to reach.
There will be many to dispute
the radicalism of the Jones meth
DDS. Many did not approve of
his uncouch department. and his
almost frivolous pulpit manner
isms. Yet there will be none to
contend that he was not the in
strument of boundless good in his
chosen field of work AS an evan
gelist he was success. AS a man
he was magnetic and attractive to
a large class ofpeople, and among
them he strived to a good and
worthy end.
