They we're the sons Of Anak. They
loomed up before the Hebrew spies
like some Of the Kentucky men VINO

were like the Goliath whom David, the
shepherd boy, fought. They were FOR.
midable human monsters OF bone ana

mighty physical proportions Inc same
kind of giants are inhabiting the Ju
daean hills today. When the tours

young and his interest In life as keen

the author was 81 years Of age Diana

fury later. His latest book, Selected
POEMS" was published In 1900. Mr.

When the vessel reached the harbor

ring valued at $500, two rings with
three diamonds set in each, a large cres.
cent pin and a ring set with diamonds
and pearls. Nearly every passenger on

1t was Mrs. Falkef's custom to carry
the jewels in a leather bag in the day

under her pillow in her stateroom. On
the night of May 20 she put them in the
same place. Both window and state
room door were unlocked all night and
