THE STORY.


THE night was dark, and the way
i to the valley lay beside the SEN
tries and the tents of the coarse,
rough soldiers, but Judith feared not
for had not the great general, Hole
fernes, given the strictest commands
that her way should be safe whittier
soever she went in and around the
camp. And best of all was not there
the comforting assurance in her own
heart that the God of Isreal was with
her in the desperate undertaking upon
which she had entered?
Two days before she had come into
the camp of the Assyrians after de-
parting from the city of Bethulia, and
each night since then she had passed
out of the camp in the dead of night
to engage in prayer, as she told the
great general.
All the camp had been stirred by
her beauty when she had come thith-
er, and, as she had come into the pres
ence of Holofernes he had fastened
to assure her of his favor. saying:
woman, be of good comfort, fear
not in thine heart: For I never hurt
any that was willing to serve Nabu-
chodoneser, the king of all the earth. !"
And he had kept his word thus far,
thinking that she would fall iney-
itably into his power. And for two
nights now she had passed safely out
from the camp into the valley.
Judith lifted her eyes to heaven as
she and her maid reached a secluded
nook far down the valley, and her
lips moved in prayer, as she besought
God to direct her way to the deliver
aHce of her people.
"We cannot, we must not, fail!"
she exclaimed, turning to her maid.
Little did Holofernes think when
talked with him that I was pleading
for my people and not for him. Yea,
did tell him the truth when / said
that our nation shall not be punished,
neither can sword prevail against
them, except they sin against their
God. And even now our city is sit
ting in sackcloth and ashes and pray
ing unto God for deliyerance which
with his help / will bring to pass"
cit is even so as as thou dost say"
responded the maid, ferYidly. But
If thou couldest see the devouring eye
with which Holofernes beholdeth
thee thou wouldst know that he pur.
poseth no good for thee"

MT. William A. VIII answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide expe-
turer, he is, without doubt, the highest
authority on all these subjects. Address
all inquiries to William A. Radford, No.

enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
A very interesting house for deep
narrow lot is given in this plan. We
must build houses to fit the ground we
have at our disposal. There is more
to this part of the house problem than
some of us realize.
like to see side veranda or a log
gia sheltered by the house proper and
less exposed to the public street, but
never when the lot is SO narrow that
the side projection appears to en-
croach upon its neighbor. You may
have legal right to build clear out
to your lot line. You may have a
good many other legal rights that you
will find it better not to enforce.
I knew man who bought three
40-foot lots on good residence street
and built four houses on them, houses
that compared favorably as individual
houses with other dwellings on the
street, but they didn't look right col
IectiVely because they appeared crowd
ed. He offered them for sale at So
500 each, but no one seemed to want
them. They didn't sell until he re-
duced the price to $500 for the mid
die houses and S2,700 for the outside
ones, prices which just about let him
out even. He made nothing and
cheapened the whole street. His
neighbors made it SO hot for him that
he preferred some other part of
the city for his future operations and
he hates neighbors now. But it was
his own fault, because he neglected to
use good judgment in proportioning
the lots to the street and in fitting his
houses properly to the lots.
There is no hard and fast rule to fol-
low except to leave plenty of room on
the sunny side of the house and to be

Value of the Book of Judith.-The val
ue of the Book of Judith is not
lessened by the fact that it is
supposed to be of fictitious
character In fact that very fact in
creases its value as exhibiting an ideal
type of heroism, which was outwardly
embodied in the wars of independence.
1t cannot be wrong to refer its origin
to the Maccabean period, which it re-
meets not only in its general spirit, but
even in smaller traits. But while 1t
seems certain that the book is to be re-
TERED to the second century B. c. Q75-
100 B. c., the attempts which have been
made to fix its date within narrower lin
Its, either to the time of the war of AL
exander Jannaeus Q05-4 B. c., or of De-
metrius II. Q29 B. c., rest on very In
accurate data. It might seem more nat
ural (as mere conjecture), to refer 1t to
an earlier time G7O B. CO. when Anti
ochus Epiphanes made his first assault
upon the temple. In accordance with the
views which have been given of the char
acter and date of the book, it is probable
that the several parts may have dis
tlnct symbolic meaning.

vestibule by the two outside steps
and two inside steps leading up to the
general floor level. This idea works
in well with the front loggia, which is
walled in and is furnished as an out.
door parlor. In building a loggia it
is well to arrange it on this plan. The
posts are square and plumb and the ar.
chitraVes are straight SO they can be

easily fitted with frames for sash to
hold either glass or wire screens.
Sometimes when the position is
somewhat exposed it is desirable to
leave glass in one side all summer.
Glass on one side is great protection
to the porch furniture. rugs, etc.
More attention is being paid to such
outside rooms every year. More

Bay state Named for Indian sachen

Bay State Named for Indian Saehen.
Few of the men and women who
are proudly boasting of the fact that
they hail from the old Bay state
are aware of the origin of its name,
and still fewer are aware that it is
derived from a small hill in the
neighborhood of Squantum.
Il appears that the sachem of the
Indians of the province dwelt in the
early colonies on a small lot of I'D.
land. containing about an acre and a
half, and fronting the sea. The hill
has the shape of an Indian arrow
head.
The Indian name for the arrow head
was Mos" while a hill was called
"Wetuset," and SO the sachem's seat
came to be known as MosWetuset,
This name was later corrupted by
the colonists into Moswechuset. and
the Indians came to be known as Mos.
wechusets.
From this name the present Massa.
chusetts has. been evolved.

Rumors of friction between the Jockey

sociation over the proposed meeting at

confirmed yesterday. The publication of
the stakes to be decided at Brighton

ing terse but suggestive statement:
The following announcement of the
Brighton Beach Racing Association stakes

Jockey Club assuming no responsibility
whatsoever.
This, it was thought by racing men yes
terday, would result in horsemen fighting

had no comment TO make on the announce
ment. however. beyond saying:
THE Brighton Beach Racing Associa

quirements of the stewards of the Jockey

No meeting was held at Brighton Beach
last season. but obligations incurred in
1908 have been paid and the association is

TRIAL DIVORCE IN INDIANA.
Five-Year Separation Opens Up Inter

Chicago. Dec. So--What was dubbed a
trial divorce by Chicago lawyers was
granted at Hammond. Ind, yesterday By
Judge V. S. Richter. Some OF the attor-

clared the court had no precedent for its
action and that the restrictions imposed
could not be held to be binding under the
laws of Indiana.

separation limited divorce BY the terms
