A traveller returned from Jaffa tells
tale at his own expense. Having
journeyed to the historical seaport on
his way to Jerusalem, he succeeded
in hiring a conveyance to carry him

wished to be carried in a leisurely
sightseeing fashion through as many
as possible Of the principal thorough
fares Of Jaffa, and to be delivered al
the terminal just in time to take ths
outgoing train.
He had no sooner seated himself in
the vehicle, however, than the driver
whipped up his horse and whirled the
dismayed traveller at furious pace
through all the dust and over all the
stones of the notoriously rough streets
Of Jaffa. The passenger was too bus
lily employed in saving his bones to be
able to see anything of the interesting
town.
Arriving at the station, he found
that he still had two hours to wait.

Indignantly, did you ever hurry like
that?"

driver, with an expressive shrug. "All
