Plea FOR PLAIN woRps.
Historian Objected to Use Of Greek In
Conversation.

Freeman, the historian, It was said
was apt to grow irritable over mat
tiers of intellectual difference. One
day he was at the Macmillans', when
the conversation turned upon the sub
iect OF Ireland. Mr.. Macmillan said
that, for his part, he was In favor OF
granting autonomy.
Whereupon Freeman began to growl
at the use Of a Greek word,
why cant you speak English?"
demanded he, "and say home rule, in.
stead of speaking Greek, which you
don't know"
One of the guests flushed with anger
and yentured to reproye Freeman,
calling his attention TO the respect
due their host, and at the same time
paying tribute to Mr.. Macmillan's re-
markable abilities. But although
Freeman did not apologize in SO many
| words, he smoothed the matter over
by a humorous repetition of his criti-
cism. Later, some one mentioned
govt. There you go again," ex-
claimed Freeman. why cant we call

THE STORY.

n HE first one to greet Caleb as he
j returned with his men victorious
from the assault upon Hebron was his
young and beautiful daughter Achsah.
She had been the last one to bid him
God-speed as he had departed on the
expedition against the strong.walled
city of the sons of Anak, and her
words of faith and assurance that
God would give him the victory had
cheered and strengthened him in all
the fierce conflict of the days that
had followed, and while he had been
warning on the city, Achsah had kept
watch for his return, and that morn
ing had gone out along the pathway
which led from her home to the
high knoll which looked out over the
valley through which her father
would pass. 1t had been five days
now since his departure, and she felt
he must return that day, for he had
said as he waved her a last good-by
that he would be back surely In four
days, and here the fifth day was near
ly half gone.
"Can it be that disaster has come
to him?" she asked herself, as she
looked out across the valley and
sought to penetrate the rugged path

heights where Hebron was situated.
