Story of a Bible.

A case that had to do with the theft
of Bible was before the grand jury
some time ago and after it had been
disposed Of, George W. Seibert, fore
man OF the jury, related story in
which a Bible figured prominently. Mr..
Seibert said that his mother had CIV
en- him an old-fashioned family Bible
when he married. About two years
after his marriage Mr.. Seibert needed
money, he said, and had almost de-
cided to dispose OF the Bible. When
such thoughts were occupying his
mind, Mr.. Seibert picked up the Bible
one day and began turning over the
leaves OF the book. He had passed
over several pages when his eyes fell
on two $50 bills. His mother had
placed them in the Bible when she
had presented the book to him. Mr..
Seibert still has the Bible.-lndian-
