the Jews in captivity also hanged

the New Testament we read ''it were
better for him that a milestone were

was correct in either sense in the days
of the authorized version, those who
are not strong upon grammar may be
subconsciously induced to believe that
"hung7 is correct in both senses now.

How the Arabs Let the Animal Exhaust

likes to pay back and If his driver
has Injured him in any way he will not
rest till he has returned the injury.
The Arabs, who wander about the
deserts and so use the camel great
deal, know about this fault OF his and
have queer way of keeping them
selves from getting hurt.
When a driver has made his camel
angry, be first runs away out Of sight.
Then, choosing a place where the camel
will soon pass. he throws down some
OF his clothes and fixes them SO that
the heap will look like a sleeping man.
Pretty soon along comes the camel
and sees the heap. Thinking to him
self, NOW I've got him. he pounces
on the clothes. shakes them around aud
tralnples all over them. After lie Is
tired Of this and has turned away the
driver can reappear and ride him away
without harm.

Mistake Corrected

In making announcement Of the Ep-
worth League lecture course for next
winter on the occasion of Senator Bob
Taylor's recent appearance at the Me-
thodist church l made an almost un-
pardonable mistake Of saying that ad-
Iult tickets for the course would be
sold for five dollars. This of course
was far from correct. The full course
tickets are as follows: adults 81;
children under fifteen years Of age,
rs cents; students (school or business)
81.
A committee to secure pledges are
meeting with splendid success. One
of the committee that casually met
today had secured pledges for forty
five full course tickets and am as
sured that others are doing very well.
The committee expect to place all the
tickets in the next few days. We hope
to dispose Of at least one thousand. No
money need be paid until next October.
The public is assured that the tai
ent engaged is the best obtainable in
America. Help the young people in
their most worthy effort to present
clean and elevating entertainment for
the people.
