IT HAS BEEN a RATTLEFlELD'FoR1
CENTURIES.
Jealous Monks Continue to Rlot Over
Resting Place Of Prince Of Peace
arrangements Made with
the Sultan.

London.-In the one place in all the:
world where noise of strife should be
forever hushed, and only sounds of
worship be heard, men met in bloody
battle recently. Crucifixes and GEMS
ers were the weapons, Franciscan
and Armenian monks were the com.
batants, and the scene of the strug-
gle was the tomb of Christ.
For brief time the battlefield OK
the crusades echoed again to tho
sound of clashing arms, the groana
of the wounded, the cheers of the.
victors. But this was not battle OF
believer against unbeliever, heather
versus Christian. The contestants
were monks sworn to teach the doc
trines of the Prince of Peace.
The bone Of contention is desire
to control the sainted sepulcher. 1t
was this ambition that brought the
Crusaders swarming from all Europe.
and now form of the same desire
has the monks of the Franciscan or
der and the Armenian branch forever
at each others throats.
They quarrel over the right to
sweep off the steps, and the Greeks,
though they had little part in bring
ing the tomb of Christ under Chris
| tlan control, have profited so skill
fully by the quarrels of France with
Turkey, that they have ingratiated
themselves with the Pasha till he is
regarded as their silent ally.
In this last battle one sacristan had
his skull smashed in with heavy
| censer, and number of the COM
batants went to hospitals for treat
ment. So frequent have the quarrels
been in the last decade that often
Turkish soldiers have been forced to
intervene.
French, Greek and Italian consuls
have at times been dragged into the
controversies that resulted from
these outbreaks. Apparently no per
manent peace is ever to come. to the

roes II. The Christians made their
bravest defense at the door of the
church, but were defeated, and the
tomb of the Saviour was the prey of
heather. Fourteen years later, EN-.
peror Heraclius regained possession
of the tomb for the Christian faith.
Even the end of the wars between
the infidels and the Christians did not
bring peace, for the Saracen control
was disputed by other heather ma
tions. The Mamelukes took the city
in 1882. The Turks recovered 1t in
1917 by the valor Of Sultan Selim.
The son of this leader, Soliman, built
the wall that now surrounds the city
At last, being unable to occupy the
E:home of the scenes of the Holy Pas,
,sion, the Christian nations made an
agfeement with the sultan by which
they ceded his right to control, but
got in return permission to worship
there, and to have the sacred basilica
in charge of Christian priests.

Don't Hatch More Chickens Than You
Can Well Care For.

Success in the. poultry business de-
pends largely .on the thoroughness in
all its details. 1t has been truly said
that whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll, therefore, we should
bear this in mind at the beginning OF
the Matching season, and not hatch
more chicks than we can properly care
for. A small flock Of poultry well
taken care of is more satisfactory and
more profitable than very large flock
of scrawny, lousy fowls which are un-
fit for home use and are always drug
on the market.
1t is better to have a flock of so hens
well taken care Of than to have flock
of 500 raised in a haphazard sort OF
way. The poultryman who devotes
his time exclusively to the business
can be more thorough than the farmer
who raises poultry merely as q side
line. The farmers wives, as rule,
are overtaxed with work and feel they
cannot give their poultry the attention
it should have. The wise thing to do
under these circumstances is to bear
in mind that quality will pay better
than quantity and refrain from hatch
| ing more than one can properly take
care of.
1t is quite amusing during the spring
and summer months to hear the re.
ports of the housewives in neighbor-
hood of chickens each has hatched.
We would like to hear from them
again in the fall; 1t is the number we
raise that counts, provided the quality
is right. We cannot raise poultry like
weeds; If we did they would be like
weeds-worthless. Who could relish
a tough, scrawny, lousy fowl, which
had been starved all It's life, and tor
tured with lice? Does it pay to raise
such fowls?
Why not be consistent about these
things, urges Farmers Advocate, and
remember that fowls should have clear
places to roost, clean food, and fresf
water, clean drinking vessels, ant
clean troughs or pans for their feed
The bill of fare should be changed
often; they should have access tc
fresh dirt. Grit should always be be
fore them. Lime and disinfectants
should be freely used to keep dowr
oGors. Success cannot be obtained ir
any business without effort and the
poultry business is no exception to the
rule. Persistent efforts and thorough
ness in all the details are what coun
and will bring results that can be OBJ
tanned in no other way.

TWO HANDY HIVE TOOLS.
Knives That viii Serve Variety OF
Purposes.

For several seasons have used
stout pruning-knife with a "hawk-bilr
blade as hive tool in my apiaries,
and have found it to be the most sat
isfactory and handiest tool for the
greatest variety of purposes of all the
tools tried, writes a correspondent Of
Bee Culture.
The entire length of the pruning
knife is about eight inches, and it Is
very stout in it's makeup. The blade
is made of good steel, and retains a
sharp edge. while the back of the
blade is about one-eighth inch thick.

T2Y pR.Yv1LLlAMS' PINK PILLS

TIE Pills Have Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In

Rheumatism Is q painful inhamrl1R.

parted by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any. one part Of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for, o
time, leaves It and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency Of the
disease Is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for time but the disease cannot be
c9red until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams' Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
rcd and healthy. When the blood ia
pure there can be no rheumatism.

other horticultural tools, and can be
obtained of most of the large hardware
stores. The blade of the knife above
is made of one continuous piece of
steel. Mr. w. II. Laws, of Beeville,
Tex, used knife similar to this
while l visited him several years ago.
His knife was not as heavy, and the
blade was made pocket-knife style,
and could be closed. This made 1t
handy to carry in the pocket; but
the objection was that prying hives
and frames caused the blade to work
loose in its "joints." This weak point,
in addition to being more expensive
also, makes the knife without the
joint, and the consequent lower price,
a more satisfactory hive tool. 1t can
be carried in the hip pocket with ease,
having the handle downward; in fact,
the hip-pocket is the most handy hive
tool bag l know of-the most con-
venient in reach at all times.
This knife is excellent for prying
hives, frames and anything else apart;
also for opening boxes or taking of
covers or bottoms that have been
nailed on. 1t is sharp, and can be
used for cutting at any time, the
same edge being used for scraping
frames, etc. 1t is also the handiest
small tool for cutting away weeds in
front of the entrances of the hives.

few puffs of smoke preparatory to
opening the hive are given, leave a

ting or hacking Of limbs of trees
that are in the way this pruning-knife
works fnely-just what it was orig
inally intended for. Mailing can be
done with the blade, its weight per-
mitting of driving even large nails
The back end of the handle Is rath-
err fiat, round, and smooth, and is
used in emergencies for fastening
foundation in frames, especially when
such has accidentally torn loose in
handling, OF when pulled off by the
weight of the bees.

Sailors by His Democracy.
Scott Ely, n musician on the presi-
dents yacht Mayfiower, who was
transferred temporarily to the battle
ship Louisiana when President Roose-
welt went on his tour of inspection of
the Panama canal, returned to his
home in Philadelphia on furlougn the
other night, bringing interesting anec-
dotes about the voyage and the presi-
dents experiences. says the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger.
Ely said he expressed the sentiment
of every man on the Louisiana when
he declared the presidents gen.
He asserted that if anything We're
needed to strengthen the admiration
of the jackies for the president 1t

executive, by his extreme democracy
and apparent disregard of fornalities,
won the hearts of the officers and
crew alike who watched him daily as
he walked the quarter deck for eXer-
else or stopped to watch the drills and
inspection of the sailors and marines,
oftimes giving the men suggestion
or praiSing their work
Ely has been in the service three
years and six months. most of the time
having been spent on the Mayhower.
His commission will expire on April
1, when he will return to his bride of
eighteen months from whom he was
separated soon after his marriage by
the departure of the Mayhower for
southern waters. He had much to say
in praise of the presidents unusual
interest in the welfare of the men on
board the Louisiana. He brought with
him a programme of the vaudeville en-
tertainment which the men gave in
honor of the president and Mrs. Roose-
welt while en- route from Ponce. Porto
Rico, to Hampton Roads, Va.
At the reception Ely said the presi-
Dental party sat on benches in the
front row. and took as much interest
in the performance as any OF the men
on board the ship. The character of
the performance presented is interest

ships orchestra and concluded with a
four round boxing bout, which, Ely
said. the president seemed to enjoy
more than anything else.

gramme:
