THE STORY.


TT WAS in the days before they
l had a king in Israel and wher
every la was O law unto himself
Then 1t was that each family ant
each tribe protected its own and each
exaeted OF the other an eye for ar
eye and a tooth for a tooth. In those
days the law OF the blood atonemeni
prevailed In the land. so that If one
should Stay by chance or intent an
other. the one nearest OF kin OF the
slain person must act as his avenger
and take the life Of the one who had
caused his death. Needless to say
that this custom in the case of acct
dental murder wrought its hardship
and injustice, and in order that just
ice and mercy might be extended To
the n who, through accident. had
caused the injury or death of an,
other. the Lord directed that cities OF
refuge should be appointed whittier
the slayer might fee and, il guiltless
Of the intended murder of his brother
should find a safe shelter.
When Joshua had made known tc
the people the mind OF the Lord con
corning this thing. the question arose
as TO which cities should be chosen
and 1t was finally agreed that siS
should be appointed. three on the
east side Of Jordan and three on the
west side. Caleb took deep interest
In the matter. and In the council Of
the elders which had met TO consider
the question he said;
Brethren, thou knowest how, owe
~ years ago, when the Lord brought
Us to the borders Of this land. the
people refused TO enter, declaring
hat they were not able to overcome
the giants In the land. And thou
knowest how, since our coming hither
after the long. weary years in the will
derness, that the sons OF Anak, whom
our people feared, have been des
troyed and their city is now among
the possessions OF the children of Is
rael. Thou knowest, too, how 1t was
given TO me as a heritage and how II
was only after fierce conflict that the
city was taken, so that the stronghold
Of our enemies might become an

Escaped in CABBAGE Barrel.

A barrel containing cabbages was
the e by which Gershuni, chief
organizer of the lighting organiza-
ton" of the Russian revolutionary So
cialist party, escaped from a ST.
berian prison. The cabbages were for
the use of the prisoners, who received
the barrel themselves from a warder.
One day they emptied 1t hastily,
pierced a small air hole In the bottom
and then seated Geshuni inside, plac-
Ing a frying pan over his head in
case 1t should occur to the warder to
plunge his sword in. At the top were
fixed layers of c~abbages. In this n
dition the barrel was removed from
The prison aud placed in the prison

er spent ten hours of semisnffocation
The day before several planks had
been loosened In the walls OF the
