had been with Him, as they mourned
and wept. And they, when they had
heard that He was alive, and had
been seen of her, believed not"
wave of humanity, kindling from
taper to taper, caught from hand to
hand, till the whole Church of the
Holy Sepulchre is a sheet of fire, an
acreage of flame. Every candle has
voice, and the tremblings of the
travelling light are only the shudder-
ing sobs and cries and thanksgivings
of the loving, pathetic throng who be-
lieve that God Himself has descended
upon the holy tomb within the silent
darkness of the sepulchre, and once
again across a world said, Let there
be Light"
Amidst the oriental confusion, the
clamor, the color, the riot of devo-
ton, the Greek patriarch Damianos is
borne out of the church on the shoul-
ders of the pilgrims, in a half-fainting
state. And it is at this moment that
to a horseman at the gates is given
the sacred fire to bear quickly to the
lamps around the Silver Star in the
midnight cave of the Nativity of Beth
lehem-the lamps that are never ex-
tinguished. 1t is at this moment that
still another horseman gallops rapid
ly away from the courtyard of the
Holy Sepulchre, bearing the lighted
taper northwards to Jaffa, to the
ships that are swinging at anchor in
its harbor, waiting to bear the Holy
Fire to Russia, to the shrines afar on
her desolate Siberian Steppes, and to
the patriarchs Spiridon of Antioch,
Konstantinos of Constantinople, and
to Sophronius of Alexandria.
When evening comes, the pilgrims
throng back into the church, and,
like children in a fathers home, lie
down to sleep within the great ro.
tunda's calm. They are waiting for
the midnight service. You, too, re-
turn to think and ponder-and to
pray. For, strange and barbaric, iso-
lated as is this scene of to-day from
any experience in your life, it has
stirred the deep consciousness within,
that upon this historic pavement is
the grip of the actual world upon a
great Idea; and the grasp of the soul
upon a great Ideal, who said, Il am
the Light of the World! Lucy

PAUL REVERE OF 1874 FLOOD.

=
Daniel Collins Graves, the hero of
the Mill River flood, died recently in
Williamsburg, Mass. He was sixty
nine years old and was very we'll
known there.
John Boyle O'Reilly wrote poem
called 1.-The Ride of Collins Graves"
which was inspired by the daring
ride. The flood was caused by the
breaking of mill dam at Mill River
Valley on May 16, 1874, in Hamp-
shire County, Mass.
Mr.. Graves was then a milkman.
He mounted his horse when he saw
the dam had burst and rode through
the village warning the inhabitants
and saving hundreds of lives. Four
villages were swept away by the flood
and nearly 200 persons perished.

CAsTAWAYs IN FROZEN LAND.

CAsTAWAYs IN FROZEN LAND.
How the crew and passengers oil
the ship Farallon were saved is told
by J. E. Thwaites, mail clerk Of the
wrecked steamer in a dispatch from
Seward, Alaska. He says:
eve had one passenger to land at
Iliamna Bay, where we arrived early
on January s. In binding snow.
storm the steamer struck reef a
mile off shore. The Farallon hit the
reef at high water. When the tide
receded she was caught amidships on
the rocks.
"Down the icy sides of the ship we
lowered ourselves to the small boats,
They were tossed about by cakes OF
ice. The shore could be seen dimly
through the snow. We could hear
the roar of the surf and the reports.
as of cannon, when ice cakes were
hurled against the rocks. 1t seemed
for time that we should be unable
to land because of the high surf. At
last we discovered small cove thar
offered some shelter, and landed SAFE
Iy. A more desolate region could not
have been imagined.
'The sailors put the passengers and
supplies ashore, and then turned back
to the Farallon, from which they took
sails, tarpaulins, baggage, mails, pro-
visions and mattresses. When night
came the outlook was disheartening.
Tho wind increased in bitterness,
Fire was made from driftwood dug
out of the ice and snow. We had no
lights. We got water for the coffee
by melting snow We ate our meal of
coffee, bacon and frozen bread in
gloomy silence.
ION subsequent days we made trips
to the wreck and brought off material
with which We constructed stoves and
other conveniences."

OVERHEARD IN THE TIGRIS.

From Diarbekr to Baghdad, as a
crow might do it, the distance is about
400 miles. AS the kelek goes-a con-
trivance sacred to the River Tigris
since the days of Adam and Eve-the
distance is nigh upon 1000 miles, and
the time occupied anywhere between
eight and twenty days. In THE
Short Cut to India" Mr. David Fraser
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1910-03-25

tells of the kelek and of his journey.
The kelek is easily constructed.
Take any number OF goatskins from
underneath a framework of light pop
lar poles One or two pairs of great
oars complete the ship, and it is ready
for crew, cargo and passengers.
When "globe-trotter" ships
aboard kelek some of the cargo is
left behind, and upon the space thus
left vacant a hut is erected. A light
wooden framework is hung round
with cotton walls that roll up or let
down, according to the desire of the
occupant. In addition, the roof has
thick grass mat to keep out the sun.
The traveller enjoys entire privacy
as regards the people on his own
kelek, for he gives orders that nobody
is to come abaft his gable. At the
end of his little house, and projecting
astern of the raft, is tiny bathroom
protected from public gaze by cloth
walls.
Thus the kelek combines all the
advantages of modern mansion, liv-
ing room, kitchen, sanitary arrange
ments, abundant light and air, and
panoramic scenery that is an eternal
feast for the eye.
We sailed one morning at 10
o'clock, with the temperature over
100 in the shade. But heat may be
corrected by a minimum of clothes
and a maximum of cold water. The
Tigris comes straight from the noun
tain SHOWS of Kurdistant, and it's
flood was like ice compared with the
fire of the air.
For a man who could not put on his
own socks or tie the buttons of his
waistcoat, and doubled up, moreover,
with a chronic lum bago, that first
plunge overheard was rather ven.

I leaped, thinking the while that al
though a man may forget how I'd
sing, or dance, or pray, he can never
forget how to swim, and then l shut
my eyes and jumped. For my faith l
was magnifcently rewarded, and that
first swim in the brimming Tigris was
absolutely and completely glorious.
There was mild adventure, too.

but the jagged projecting poles OF
the framework made throwing one;

was so great that no sooner had ]
lifted a foot than the kelek slipped
away from it, and with my weak
hands I could not help the situation,

safety for every living person. These

Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-05-29

vested I'm anything which will produce one
bushel of grain. Another speaker invites
us to consider the effect OF the removal
Of so much capital from the field of busi-
ness. The idea seems to be that the money
invested in automobiles is wasted for non
productive luxuries. To a certain extent
that is doubtless true, but not altogether.
II is to be borne in mind that the bulk
OF the money which is paid for automobiles
goes to pay for materials and labor ex-
pended in the manufacture and sale Of
them, thus affording profitable markets for
goods and profitable employment for a
multitude of persons. We surely cannot
regard such money as wasted or even as
withdrawn from profitable use. OF course.
II does not go directly for anything which
will raise grain, but then neither does the
money which is expended in building rail
roads or ships or houses or in making boots
and shoes.
The chief peril in what is-perhaps with
dubious wisdom-called the automobile
craze would seem to be in the purchase of
machines beyond the prudent ability of the
buyers and in the too rapid deterioration of
the machines and consequent loss of value
1t Is doubtless an evil for persons to buy
machines when they cannot afford them,
just as It is to buy pianos or dining tables.
and IL large number of persons in any
community should thus purchase beyond
their means the result both to them and
to their neighbors would be unfortunate
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-05-29

IL Is true also that automobiles often seem
to lose value very quickly, either because
they wear out or because the fashions In
them change This is indicated by the
great number OF secondhand machines
which are on the market at a small frac-
ton Of their original cost. a man may
buy 5-year-old horse for $500 and use
him steadily and have him retain his value
unimpaired for years Indeed, after a few
years use he may sell him for more than
he cost But II he pays 5000 for an auto
mobile and a year later sells 1t for 1000
he suffers a heavy loss. for which there
does not seem to be compensation else
where.
To predict a national financial panic be-
cause of numerous purchases OF automo-
biles appears extravaganza But there is
perhaps reason for exhorting individuals
not to be so swayed by their fascination as
to invest in them imprudently. And II
would seem to be the part of ultimate eco
nomic wisdom. though for the moment It
may not appear to be to the advantage of
manufacturers, to get beyond the expert
mental stage as speedily as possible and to
develop a standard type which will remain
practically unchanged, so that a car will be
used year after year with entire satisfac-
ton, just as is a sewing machine or a
typewriter or a reaper. on such a basis
there would be no fear of a panic, no mat
ter how many automobiles were made and
purchased.-New York Tribune.
