the street. The owner sits crossleg-
ged in the centre Of the store. smok-
ing a narghile. On the shelves around
him lie the goods close to his. hand in
order that he can display them to the
buyer without rising. The purchaser
stands in the narrow street, which
has no sidewalks, and runs the risk
Of getting jolted by the boxes on the
backs of the donkeys rushing past
while he bargains at great length
with the merchant. The wares Of
silk and embroidery are exquisitely
beautiful.
On the site of David's royal palace
a tannery now stands. and this Is
one Of the great industries of Hebron.
In this tannery goat skins are prepar-
ed for use as water bottles 1t is in
teresting to watch this Arab industry.
The skins, still covered with hair.
are half tanned, then sewn up and
filled with water and the apertures
carefully pitched. They are left in the
open air for several days and covered
with a strong concoction Of tannin.
Water is pumped into them to keep
them from shrinking.
The other industry is pottery and
glass work for lamps and ornaments,
chiefly bracelets, which are sent to
Jerusalem for sale.
The natives Of Hebron also prepare
raisins for the Jerusalem market
from the large quantities Of grapes
which grow in their vineyards or they
make a kind of syrup, for the drink
ing of wine is against their religion.

In the centre of the town is pool
of water 1873 feet square, which fur
nishes Hebron with its water supply.
This Is the pool over which David
hanged the murderers Of Ishbosheth.
The site Of Abrahams oak Is a
subject Of interest and dispute. Some
distance outside the city is place
called Ranch, which is held by some
to be the true site Of ancient Mamre,
where Abraham sat at the door of his
tent and was visited by angels. But
the oak has long since vanished. Here
are interesting remains Of basilica
of Constantine's day. Some Of the
stones lying here are $50 feet long.
The large and we'll built well seems to
be of very ancient date and is believ-
ed by many to have been built by
Abraham. The stones are Of immense
proportions and highly polished. Re-
mains of stone pillars suggest that
there must have been at some time
stone canopy over this well TO oIer
shade and rest to the weary traveller
in a dry land. AS for 1000 years wa
ter has been drawn from this we'll the
ropes to which the buckets were fas-
tened have worn deep ridges into
the hard limestone.
The other site, more generally ac-
cepted because Of the existence OF
very ancient oak tree, Is that pelong-
ing to the Russian pilgrims and a
high watch tower. The oak Is the
most venerable tree in Palestine, ex-
cepting an olive tree in Gethsemane.
It's trunk measures thirty feet in cir
cumference and its crown divides it.
self into four colossal branches,
which extending out, offer a broad
shade. The Russians have enclosed
the tree by stone wall. The hill on
which the oak and hospices stand Is
a mile and a half from Hebron and Is
one of the sacred sites in Palestine to
the Russians.-Portland Oregonian.

How Aowells Secs il.

"A reporter once asked William Dean
Howells why It was that his novels did
not sell nearly as we'll as those Of -,
and here the reporter mentioned a half
dozen we'll known names" said Samuel
Nicely Of St Louis at the National no.
tel recently in telling this story.
Mr.. Howells replied: A certain
Quack stood one afternoon before the
door of his rich mansion when physi-
clan of great learning and talent passed.
The two men fell into talk. and the
physician, a plain spoken person, said
rather bitterly to the quack:
"'"How comes 1t that you, without
education, skill or the least knowledge
of medicine, are able to live in the
style you do? You keep your town
house, your carriage, your motor and
your country house, while I, allowed to
possess some knowledge, have none OF
these things, and, indeed, can little
more than pick up bare subsistence?'
1.-The quack laughed good naturedly.
""Look here" said he. How many
people do you think have passed us
since you asked me that question:"
.""well," said the other, about one
hundred" ...
""And out of that one hundred how
many do you think posses good, COM
mon sense?"
"'"Possibly one," was the reply.
""Well," said the quack, that one
comes to you, and / take care OF the
ninety-nine." ne.""-Washington Herald.

Man and His Ways.-A minister who
had been doing missionary work In In
dia returned to London for a visit. He
was a guest at q well-known hotel
where everything pleased him except
the absence Of the very torrid sauces
and spices to which he had become ac-
customed in the Far East. Fortunately
he had brought with him a supply OF
his favorite condiments, and by ar
ranging with the head waiter these
were placed on his table. One day an
other guest saw the appetizing bottle
on his neighbors table and asked the
waiter to give him some Of that
sauce"
I'm sorry, sir" said the waiter, "but
It is the private property Of this gen.
tleman."
The minister, however, overheard the
others request and told the waiter to
pass the bottle.
The stranger poured some OF the
mixture on his meat and took liberal
mouthful. After a moment he turned
with tears in his eyes to the minister.
You're a minister Of the gospel"
Yes. sir"
"And you preach the doctrine Of ever
lasting fre?"
Yes" admitted the minister.
'"Well, you're the first minister ever
met who carried samples."-Tit-Bits,

PALESTINE VACATION.
Peasants Bid Alien Wanderers Wei
come In VINEYARDS,

Peasants Bid Alien Wanderers Wei
come In Vineyards.
Hebron, the home Of Patriarch
Abraham, is a town Of peculiar inter-
est, both Biblical and archaeological,
and because it was renowned for the
historical vines Of Eschol. These still
bear fruit larger than the ordinary
grape found in any other part Of the
world.
The Mosaic law commanded the
peasant to bid the wander welcome
into his vineyard to partake Of his
luscious fruit, and this law of hospi-
tality is still practised by the Arab
fellaheen of today, with the differ
ence that today the expectation Of
"backsheesh" always accompanies the
welcome.
1t seems strange that though He
bron was the seat Of the earliest CIV
ilization in Palestine, today the in
habitants Of the surrounding country
are wild and fierce and spend their
days roaming about with their fiocks,
camels and asses, travelling from
valley to valley in search of food,
pitching their tents just as their an
cestors did thousand years ago.
The large town Of Hebron is very
picturesque, situated at the foot of
the hill in the fertile valley Of Eschol,
the vineyards Of which are renowned;
and surrounded by fruit orchards and
olive groves. Lying 1929 feet above
the sea on this crested hill, above the
dry wilderness of Judea, and abun-
dainty watered by numerous wells
around the town, it's cool breezes Of
fer great attractions for summer and
autumn visitors who are weary of the
heat and dry barrenness Of the coun-
try round about Jerusalem. The dis
tance is only twenty-six miles from
the Holy City, or, according to Orien-
tai reckoning, a five hour ride.
The present Arabic name is Khalil,

was named the friend of God" 1t is

berias
The rocky hills encircling the town
are covered with olive trees, and their
slopes are beautifully terraced. One
can see from what little remains how
we'll cultivated and utilized the land
was in ancient days, for the terraces
run almost to the top and fruits and
vegetables Of all kinds are growing
in every available niche.
The streets of Hebron are filled
with interesting and peculiar sights
to western eyes. The principal shop
ping street is a narrow tunnel cover
ed by a long canopy Of canvas, rem
dering it dark, with only occasional
glimmers of light from the openings
in the archways. These stores are

Mouths Full of Money.-Wilbur
Wright, on the broad green plain Of his
school Of aviation at Pau, talked about
his early struggles.
I'VE had, in those Dayton days,
said he, wonderful offers, magnificent
promises, but when it came to the ac-
tual laying down Of money, then gloom
descended on the scene.
Our friends, with their mouths full
Of millions and their quite empty
hands, reminded me Of Dayton bar
Der.
This barber said one day, as he
shaved me:
That's fine pup Of Simmons. I'd
give anything for it.
well, it's for sale, isn't it?' said /.
THE barber burst into sneering
laughter.
"'Oh, yes, it's for SALE said he, but
do you know what Simmons wants for
it? Why, two dollars!'"

the prosecuting witness testified at
