scandal about Joseph's life in the
Pitophar household. The captain
of the guards suddenly conceived
a great dislike to his favorite
slave and threw him into prison
for life.
While In Jail the young refugee
developed wonderful power of
interpreting dreams, which event.
ually came to Pharoah's ears. His
majesty, according to the court
gossip, had q strange dream some
seven years ago which every one
failed to interpret, till he sent
for the Jewish prisoner.
So successful was Joseph in
interpreting the dream that Phar-
oah not only freed him from pris-
on, but made him governor of
Egypt with power almost equal to
his own.
Joseph is now about 81 years
old, is married to Asenath, daugh-
ter of Potipherah, the priest of
On. The couple occupy palace
near to the Pharaoh. They have
two children, Manasseh and Eph-
rain.
Around the palace It fs thought
the dream that Pharaoh had in
someway foretold the present
drouth which has overtaken the
land. Anyway, Joseph's first act
ON becoming governor, over Z
years ago, was to build granaries
and set men to work collecting
wheat.
Many people ridiculed Joseph's
work in collecting so much grain.
Egypt was having wonderful crops
hnd the price of wheat was at the
lowest point in history.
why collect wheat when 1t is
worth so little /" people asked.
In the present drouth Joneph
seems to be wiser than this critics.
II this remarkable shortage in
rain continues for seven years, as
by Gov. Joseph, the gov
eminent treasury will be as full as
Joseph's granaries were.

MEMPHIS, Egypt, April 23
1898, B. C.-Joseph, the Jewish
boy, whom His Majesty Pharoah
rescued from a prison cell seven
years ago and made governor,
has earned the title of the Wheat
King of Egypt.
While crops from one end OF
the country to the other are an
utter failure, Gov. Joseph has
mammoth granaries stored with
the staple, which in anticipation
OF such conditions he has been
collecting during the seven years
OF his administration.
ALI Egypt has to apply to this
new wheat king for it's supply.
Unless the drouth is broken soon
Joseph will have completed the
most successful corner known in
the history of the country.
The life story Of the new wheat
king reads like a romance. His
remarkable change from forgot
ten proisoner to governor is not
the most remarkable part of 1t.
Joseph was the youngest and
favorite son of Jewish farmer
and stockraiser named Jacob, who
lived in Canaan, according to the
story told in court circles. His
brothers, Jealous of the favorit-
ism shown him by his father,
threw him into q pit to die. His
cloak, q wonderful garment m
many colors, made specially for
him, they soaked in blood and
showed 1t to Jacob, who mourned
for months.
But the boy didn't die in the
|pit. A party OF Midianites merch-
ants found him in the pit, rescued
him, and sold him into the slay-
cry OF tribe of Ishmaaites. who
In turn sold him a number of
years ago to Potiphar. captain of
the royal guard, who became at
tached to him and brought him
up In his household.
There is thought to be some
