gather many traditions
Because of it's exquisitely beautiful
and diversified manner of decoration
symmetry Of form and the mystery OF
the great rock it shelters, this build
ing is among the most beautiful in
the world, and is surely the most in,
teresting.
For ages unnumbered this spot has
been set aside for worship, and is now
revererced alike by the Jew, Chris
tian and Moslem. No other spot in
the world has such a wonderful his
tory. Here of old rose those temples
Of Solomon and of Herod-visions of
snow and gold-emblematic Of purity
and consecration-here within the
Holy of Holes dwelt the visible pres
ence of Almighty God, here Christ
walked and talked and did many
mighty works.
Destroyed by the soldiers Of Titus,
A. ID. 20, after centuries of neglect,
this spot was destined to again be-
come the seat Of public worship but
this time OF the descendants of Ish-
mael, not of Isaac, and the followers
Of Mohammed, the founder Of Islam.
Age after age has passed, change and
decay have treaded each on the heels
Of the other; but this rock of the ages
has stood safely through all the vicis-
situdes of The Holy City and now It
again showed its wonderful power OF
attraction; and, as Of old, it rested
within structures that were the won
ders of the world, so now there stands
over IL one of the finest buildings to
be seen at the present day.
In Moslem eyes its sacredness
arises from the fact that when Mo
hammed made his famous Journey
from Mecca to heaven he went first to
Jerusalem, and there, in company with
the Angel Ghabrial, mounted to the
summit Of this sacred rock and thence
to Paradise. If the visitor doubts the
truth, let him see in the rock of the
footprint the prophet left as he sprang
aloft, and then examine the finger
marks made by Ghabrial as he held the
rock in mid-air when 1t endeavored
to follow Mohammed!
This tradition sanctifies the rock
and area IN the eyes of the believer,
and therefore complete forgiveness
OF sin and a good position in Para
disc await all who visit it, But even
greater rewards are in store for any
one who build on or endow any part

money was still unpaid. Then the

TAKING THINGS BACK.
Merry Customers Who Use and Then
Attempt to Return Articles.

The millinery buyer had ordered
several model hats from Paris, which
were offered for sale at 5000 each.
One of the best customers of the
store ordered two of these hats charged
to her account and sent home. The
buyer of this department was at dinner
that night at the Hotel ST. Regis. He
saw the lady at a distant table wear
ing one of the hats. Next day both
hats were returned to him.
The buyer made an attempt to get the
lady on the telephone. After Emporium
ing her several times she called in ref
erence to the matter. He told her
frankly that he could not take the
hats back. as they had been worn. She
denied it and appealed to the head of
the house.
The proprietor requested the buyer to
take the hats back as a matter of pol
icy The buyer became furious and
informed the owner of the store that
unless the hats were taken and paid
for he would resign. The proprietor
told him to send the hats to the head
office and he would do what was nee
essary. The buyer received a check
the next day for 5000. 1t was signed
by the proprietor of the store.

BowsER's SURPRISE PARTY.
He Hadn't the Least Idea That Mrs.
Bowser Would Talk Back.

During the day Mr.. Bowser had lost
a dollar bill out of his vest pocket.
He had developed a soft corn.
He had sat down on his own hat in
the office and made a pancake of it.
He had discovered that he had come
away from home with a table napkin
for a handkerchief.
On the street he had bumped man
accidentally and been called an old
jackass.
In argument with a farmer who came
into the office he had contended that a
grasshopper was a small crab, and had
been told to soak his head.
There were several other things to
fatten his crouch, and long before he
reache,! his gate he determined that
Mrs. Bowser should be taught what was
what. She had become rather independ-
ent of late. and must be shown who
was boss of that roost. Just how best
to start off was a question, but as soon
as seated at the dinner table he began
shifting and snufflng and cycling things
contemptuously.

ser.

ly, but waited for him to ask:

bier didn't send my shoes home yet,

British Warning to Huerta.

London, Nov. PA signifiC m,
warning to President Huerta was Is
sued by the Westminster Gazette, the
government newspaper. Commenting
on Premier AsQuith's Guild Hall
speech. in which he made 1t plain
that no antagonism exists between
England and the United States in re-
gard to Mexico, the Gazette says;
The idea that any valid election
in the sense in which democratic or
constitutional countries understand
the word-can be held in Mexico is
probably diplomatic fiction, but the
electoral test was of Gen. Huerta's 8
own choosing, and it is well to Keep
him reminded that his failure to con-
form to its result leaves all govern
ments free to reconsider their acts of
recognition.
Briefly, the limits of British action
are that the British government
should not put itself in a position OF
making protests which in default OF
forcible action might be flouted and
defied. But diplomacy has other re-
sources than mere force, and Provi-
sional President Huerta may early
find that the attitude of this country
Is in a variety of ways a matter OF
great moment to him.
