CUSTOM OF ORIENTAL NATIONS.
Salute by Kissing the Foot 10 a. Old
az History.

The custom OF kissing the feet Of
persons whom II was desired to honor
originated with the n%ncients. The pcO.

the hands and feet or hens OF tta

show respect for.
The ancient Egyptians got this Gus.
tom from the Assyrians. and later the
Greeks adopted the habit from the
Egyptians. The Romans followed tho
Greeks. and then Pontifcx Maximus

While away Mr. Boot visited the

thinks most Of the criticism about

very unjust. and in support Of his
contention says:

Tho Truth About Jcrico

Many versions have been given as
to that historical biblical event, "The
Siege Of Jcrico." Generally the locals
Of this great epoch in ancient history
is established and historians agree as
to the fact that it was, even Of its
miraculous kind, the most interesting
Of events that have come to us by
medium Of religious records.
However, it is few indeed who have
the least conception Of the action in
the matter, few there are who can
conjure to the minds eye a sight Of
those people Of olden times, who, with
sword, spear and divine aid waged
bloody warfare and fewer still who
have definite idea Of the location and
events incidental to it.
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1909-09-02

There are people, however, to whom
the "Siege of Jerico" appealed not
only from the standpoint Of the sa-
want but because Of the realization
that in its history was opportunity
for a combination Of historical worth
with features of entertainment.
"The Siege of Jerico" is the real
ization Of those ideas and a historical
replica of the action of the event as
traced to authentic sources. In de-
tailed explanation Of the story Of
the play as offered by the Gregory
Fireworks company is their libretto Of
more than usual value, for, combin-
ing as it does the true trend Of the
action with a location established by
deep research, is an embodiment Of
the facts Of the great siege as nearly
and truly as may be determined by
exhaustive and learned delving into
the best existing records of the past.
With this data at hand and with the
assistance Of modern science, they
are fully equipped to produce "The
Siege of Jerico" historically correct
in details Of costume, the city's archi-
lecture, and the ancient methods of
warfare and further enhanced by the

Fire At soldier

Soldier, Aug. 3O.-A confagration
starting in the Club saloon at $3.50
this morning gave this town its first
fiery baptism. Before it had been
subdued $4,000 worth of property
had been destroyed.
The fire communicated 20 the Hotel
Soldier, adjoining the saloon, which
was quickly consumed. The Cook con-
fectionery store was also destroyed
and the Waidrop livery.
The total insurance amounts to not
more than $4,000. The haviest loser
was Mr.. Hensel, who owned most Of
the property destroyed.
It was only by the most prompt and
vigorous work that the fire was kept
in check.
It was feared for a time that the
business district would be destroyed,
but the fire fighters succeeded in keep
ing it within bounds.
Arrangements were made during
the day to rebuild the territory burn
ed over with more substantial and
ornate structures.

UNION MEETINGS IN THE PARK.

Last Sunday evening at ZOO p. m.
there gathered together about 300
people in the City Park in a public
union service. This was the first
religious service of its kind in Noun
tain Home for. years.
Most all denominations were pres
ent and participated in the service.
The first thirty minutes was devo-
ted to singing, in which large and
talented choir led the audience. This
was a treat for all visitors and tells
we'll for our town. The last thirty
minutes was occupied by E. E. Crab
tree, in which he discussed the sub
ject, "Sin." All went away feeling
good. and was truly glad that they
had attended the services.
It is the intention of the ministers
of the town to continue these SER
vices from week to week as long as
the weather will permit.
Next Sunday evening the chorus
will begin to sing promptly at 500
p. M, after which the people will be
addressed by Rev. C. E. Mason. Come
early so that you may get a seat.
