SCENES IN JERICHO
Writer Tells of Wonders in the
Holy Land.
Declares Arabs, Riding on Their
Camels In Quiet Of Dawn, Passed
Like Phantoms - Visited
Grave of Lazarus.

Jerusalem.-We had come down
from Jerusalem the previous morning
with a correspondent, a carriage ride
Of four hours, and had stopped for
luncheon at Jericho, or, more cor
rectly speaking, at Rilia, a little to
the east of the site of the ancient
city. What memories Of brilliant
events in Biblical history cling about
this spot! Jericho, the city Of palm
trees; the scene Of Joshua's vic
tories; the place where the last days
of Elijah were spent, and whence he
went forth with Elisha to cross the
waters Of the Jordan, to be taken up
to heaven In a chariot of fire; the
spot where the two blind men were
healed; the place where u Lord paid
a visit to the house of Yachens. Here,
too, were the long celebrated and
beautiful groves and gardens given
to Cleopatra by Mark Antony. Jericho
now consists of a large Russian
church, a house for Russian pilgrims,
two hotels and the mud huts OF
Bedouin Arabs.
AS we descended the 700 feet below
Jerusalem the heat increased until
we arrived In the tropical plain Of
Jericho under a binding SUM-. First,
we visited the pool Of Elisha, the wa
ters Of which he had healed; then
tramped through the ruins of the
Jericho of the Israelites, where we
saw part of the city walls around
which Joshua and his army marched
seven times. After its capitulation
Joshua pronounced a curse on the
city, which was fulfilled. Very re-
Gently excavations have been made
here by the Germans and the Aus
TRANS.
The only sound we heard as we
rolled along the sandy soil past clus-
tiers Of thorn bushes was the tinkle
Of the sleighbells around the horses
necks. Straight ahead, at intervals,
we could discern q dark moving mass
on the road, and as we approached
a party Of Arabs would step aside,
all wrapped closely in their cloaks,
with STATS in their hands. At an
other time the dark moving mass
would prove to be a carava Of
camels moving noiselessly along with
their heavy burdens. Daylight came

slowly, for the morning was misty.
The outlines of the hills were slowly
being defined by the rising sun with
a deep purple over their western
slopes. Then did / realize why art
lists so often paint them shrouded in
that color; and why the Psalmist
would utter the hope and the longing
to the everlasting hills whence my
hope cometh."
Arabs, riding on their camels along
the mountain roads in the all-prevad-
ing quiet of the dawn, with the gor-
geous purple hills and the deep blue
sky for a background, passed like
phantoms, like dream-pictures one
used to imagine when stories were
told in childhood.
Since that day the whole Scripture
narrative has been wonderfully vivi-
hed; the abiding peace and beauty Of
the hills have a sense of sheltering
presence owe man and beast.
About half way back to Jerusalem
we stopped to rest the horses at a
khan where one stood the inn of
Good Samaritan fame. Nearer to
Jerusalem We alighted at Bethany
and went down into the grave of
Lazarus, carrying lighted candles.
The ruins of the house of Simon, the
leper, are near by; as Is a part of a

to come back again.

took to do this with Winchester rifle. Your
petitioner seized upon little single-barrel
shot gun-which cost $2.5O-and went out
upon the water, to enter, if necessary, upon
naval engagement with said Waldo.
With much earnestness and some excusable
profanity, your petitioner endeavored to per
suade the said Waldo to leave the premises Of
him, your said petitioner. But being pulled
up with pride and riches, and being mulishly
intent upon fishing in your petitioners pri-
vate cove, he the said Waldo, refused to move
peg.
Whereupon, your petitioner, being as anx-
lous to preserve the peace, as to expel said
armed intruder from the premises, reached
over into the boat Of him, the said Waldo, and
lifted his elegant rifle therefrom.
Evidently, the said Waldo had not antici-
pated the we'll timed and thoughtful strategy
of your petitioner. Nevertheless, although
disarmed, and prevented from fishing in your
petitioners cove, he, the said Waldo, still
fingered upon the scene, refusing to move
peg.
: Consequently, your petitioner instructed his
colored boatman to ram said Waldo's boat
with that of your petitioner. But this boat
man, being nothing but cornfeld niger,
from Georgia. failed to comprehend the naval
tactics which your petitioner desired to put
into operation.
Although said Georgia darkey has been in

You will remember that when Hardwick's
committee commenced to investigate the
Sugar Trust, the price jumped from week to
week. until it scared beyond any record made
in the last 20 years.
The Sugar Trust explained that the advance
was caused by vast shortage in the sugar
crop. Lying statistics acere published, to s2s-
tain this contention.
To the amazement of everybody, Hardw5cA
rushed into print, and endorsed the statement
OF the Trust, USING THEIR LYING Sta
ZISTICS As TERACEOUS.
The actual facts were:

the employ Of your petitioner for about 25
years, and has been with your petitioner in
land battles, he had never before seen YOUR
petitioner in a naval engagement; and he was,
therefore, green hand at the business.
Notwithstanding the said boatman's failure
to at first comprehend the ramming Of the one
boat by the other, petitioners purpose was
perfectly understood by the said Waldo Glenn
ent While his discretion was late in coming
1t came all right-much to the relief of your
petitioner. Said Waldo poled his boat out of
the cove.
Now, by a deplorable mischance, it so hap
pened that, when your petitioner started to
uncock his little shot gun, the hammer slipped,
and-Bang! the dog gone thing went off
Your petitioner was fearful that the said
retreating Waldo would tell it around that he
had been shot at; therefore, your petitioner
called out to the retiring enemy, in the fol-
lowing words, to-wit:
"That was an accident, did not shoot, to
scare you'll"
Inappreciative of these reassuring words,
the said Waldo menacingly said something
about coming back.
Your petitioner sent the elegant rife to a
Deputy-Sheriff who delivered it over, in due
time to the Sheriff. at Miami where the ele-
giant and costly weapon is still exhibited, as an
object of curiosity and amusement.

After months of dilligent work and an

the special committee of the House which has
been investigating the sugar trust has finally
