THE STORY.

TT WAS in the days of the Maccabees
/ when peace had returned to Jeru-
salem and glory to the temple.
Onias was the high prient, and his
hatred of all wickedness and his loyal
ty to all the law of Moses had wrought
a mighty revolution in the lives of the
inhabitants Of the city. righteousness
exalteth a nation, and as a result Of
the reforms which Onias had brought
about blessing came to Jerusalem and
the temple service. Far and wide the
influence of the holy city was felt, so
that even the kings themselves did
honor the place, and magnify the tenn
pie with their best gifts.
Among such was Seleucus, king of
Asia, who of his own revenues, bare
all the costs belonging to the service
of the sacrifices.
Some time before this, one Simon,
of the tribe of Benjamin, had been
made governor of che temple, and he
seemingly entered enthusiastically
into the work of perfecting the serv-
ice of the temple and bringing about
the reforms in the city. But under.
meath the outward conformity to the
plans of Onias was a secret sympathy
towards those who desired to work
evil. And when finally it came to the
notice of Onias that he was dealing
in subtlety, and had not carried out
with vigor and honesty of purpose
certain edicts against those who
sought gain by wrong doing. the high
priest called his conduct into question,
and severely reprimanded him. and
made it known throughout the city
that no longer could such matters con,
tinue.
At first Simon In the wiekedness of
his heart sought to work evil In the
minds OF the people against onias,
but finding that he was unable to over.
come the powerful influence which he
held over the majority Of the ihhabi.

One of the greatest nuisances Of
travelling is tipping. A smile from a
head waiter is a costly commodity,
and no mental service is too small for
remuneration. An unusually ingenious
plea for a tip is that of small Hi
