his story to the jury.
Thomas Wainwright was tried as an
accessory after the fact and was sem

seven years. 1t was widely believed
that the sentences of the two crimi-

Thomas was more guilty than his

HOLY LAND SHEPHERDS NOW
They Are Very Much Like Those Who
Watched Their FIocko 1000
Years Ago.

There are few more picturesque
sights In the Holy Land than the shep-
herd and his flock of sheep. You can
never see one without the other, says
writer in Country Life in America.
They live entirely with their focks.
Their business is not only an hon.
orable calling but 1t iG one of perpet.
ual difficulty and danger Shepherds
In the east are men Of war; also they
are men of some initiative and prac-
teal intelligence.
The shepherds come under the head
of peasants, or fellaheen, but never
theiess they are virtually race apart.
Unlike the other native tribes, they
have maintained their ancient char
acter intact. They attended 10 the
wants Of their sheep and led them
from pasture to pasture among the
hills and valleys long before the COM
ing OF the Children Of Israel.
Their shoes are of the toughest de-
scription, almost circular in circum-
ference. They wear an outer garment
Of bright colorS. 1t is woven from
cancels hair, as was that Of John the
Baptist The coats are without seam,
as was the one worn by our Saviour
and Of which it was said at his cruel
ffxion that it was without seam,
woven from the top throughout"
These cloaks are made by the peas
ant women OF Galilce. They are square
and sleeveless and fit any man, They
hang in picturesque folds from the
shoulder. A kerchief for the head, tied
in two black rings Of rope and wool,
completes the shepherds outfit. In
the winter, however, shepherds take
an undressed fleece, which they girdle
about their loins, when they more
than ever appear like members of
their own flock.
The tlocks vary considerably in size,
some numbering only score or even
less, while others run into several
hundred. Speaking generally, shep'
herd in and around Jerusalem will
tend thirty or forty sheep while his
brethren in northern Palestine will
possess flocks double this size. In the
Lebanons there are some very large
herds.
The sheep themselves are distinctly
Of the Syrian breed and famed for
their fat tails. Much has been made
