Astonished Husband.

De Wolfe Hopper tells a good story
about the domestic unhappiness Of an
other actor. The hero of the joke was
a nan who had married because the
woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally, after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition of the
brides financial resources, the hus-
band was never very attentive to her.
Another member Of the company in
which the couple were appearing was,
however, far more ap~preciative Of the
lady's charms, and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner The grand finale came one
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
fond lover stood petriied with fear,
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with a gesture Of
intense surprise, and exclaimed:
"Merciful heavens! And he didn't
even have to-"

LIVE IN COMPLETE ISOLATION
Outside World Practically Unknown to
the DweIlers in the Land
os Moab.

Most travellers who visit the Holy
Land content themselves with a visit
to that restricted part west of Jordan.
The mountainous regions of Moab, as
seen by them from Jerusalem, are lost
IN the purple haze that constantly
hangs over them. and the great
stretches beyond are covered in mys-
terry. This is true partly because of
the fewer historical incidents connect
ed with the eastern regions, but main
~ on account OF the great abyss Of
the Jordan valley that has always act
ed as a barrier. Few who descend into
the valley, 1900 feet below sea level,
undertake to climb the hills beyond,
which rise to a height OF 5000 feet.
The most striking thing about Moab
has always been it's isolation. How
ever much connected by race and VI
cinity with their western kinsmen, the
jewellers in Eastern Palestine have al
ways been distinct and their lands
have been occupied by the ma
tions on the west except through acts
of aggression and conquest.
Even today this isolation is still felt.
In giving al idea Of their knowledge Of
present day geography, one of them re-
marked: There are only four seas in
the world. two OF which are the lead
sea and the Sea Of Galilee." Both OF
these are In sight of their own hills.-.
