Barring THE SITE OF JERICHO

In the Journal of the German Pal

Their excavations carried out on the
site of Jericho by Professor Sellin.
The chief work of the past year, he
says, has been the laying bare of the
great outer wall of the city, which
is described as something extraordin-
airy, even in it's present reduced state
something majestic and overwhelm-
ing" The eXcavators found proof that
this outer wall is Israelitish work.
The inner wall, which is badly pre-
served, is the original Canaanitish de-
fence, which fell to the blast of Josh
uas trumpets. The outer wall is
identified as the. work of Hiel, whose
achievements are described in the
First Book of Kings: I'm his (Ahab's)
days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jer-
icho; he laid the foundation thereof
in Abirnam, his first born; and set up
the gates thereof in his youngest son

The ANONYMOUS Trouble Maker.

Was he a plain idiot, a crank, or
malicious mischief-maker? We are
referring to the man who recently
rang up a newspaper Office and asked
if they had heard that the Oceanic
had sunk The question naturally led
to eager investigation. Inquiry was
made of the company, rumors began
to fly about the clubs, people with
relatives or friends aboard the, steam
ship were filled with anxiety and be-
gan telephoning and cabling: and for
some hours, until the Oceanic was re-
ported safe, without having had the
semblance of an accident, officials
were worried and many individuals
made apprehensive. All as the result
of an anonymous telephone message,
either stark foolishness or deliberate
wickednessi There may be no way
in which the law can lay it's hands up
on such malign trouble-maker, but, if
he is ever identified, it ought to be
made plain to him that everybody re-
CARDS him as an enemy OF the human
race.-New York Post.

said the young lawyer, "but / am GO

new facts in the case that holds all

poor dear Miriam"
you have been as a true son to

Miriam Heaven bless you!" and Mrs
Porter seized the hand of her visitor,
kissed it fervently and believed it
with her tears.
A vast tragedy lowered about that
humble little cottage. In an upper
room Miriam Porter was wearing her
young life away amid dark grief and
dispair Her mother shared that
misery, Norman Earle had sacrificed
his all to help them bear their bur
dens.
John Porter, the father of the house
hold, was a bluff honest but quick
tempered man. Six months previous
ly he had become enraged at an in
suit from his neighbor, Rufus Dawes,
a quarrelsome shiftless fellow. Dawes
had seized a loose fence paIing to as
sault Porter. To defend himself the
latter had struck Dawes with heavy
cudgel he held in his hand.
Dawes had staggered away, bleed
ing from a wound on his head, An
hour later he was found lying insen-
sible by the side of a shed, a shotgun
by his side.
There had been an arrest and a
trial. Dawes recovered his senses, but
not his reason. He was sent to an
asylum and Porter, arraigned on the
criminal charge of deadly assault, was
sentenced to ten years in the states
prison
Earle was paying attention to Mir
lam at the time. 1t was he who I'M
dertook the defence of Porter. The
latter admitted that he had struck
Dawes, but claimed self defense. No
one had witnessed the quarrel
When the case was ended, Earle
found that he had neglected his reg

has in past years been an effort on
the part of San Francisco and bay city
fishermen to have exterminated the
sea lions which inhabit the Seal Rocks
at the cliff. These animals eat great
quantities of fish, and it is said
deplete to an extent the supply of fish
for the local market Every effort
of the fishermen to make war upon
the animals, however, has been baked
by the government.
Will the fur seal finally disappear, is
problem which is now urging the
United States government to take
every precaution against the extinc-
ton. Under the treaty entered into
by the United States, Japan and Rus

No hunter is allowed to kill the
animals on the Pribylov islands, and
consequently there is a general belief
that with the protection afforded them
by the nations, the seals in the next
few years will again increase in mum.
Der.
From 100000 the great seal herds
in their natural habitat in Behring sea
diminished in number since the ac-
QUESTION of the Pribylov islands by
the United States to less than 100000.
The reduction of the seal herd from
millions to few thousands was not
by what might be called Legitimate"
killing of the animals, but by the prac-
tice of pelagic sealing, in which the
seals were pursued in the open sea,
males and females being shot indis-
cri1ninately. OF those shot a compare
lively small number were recovered,
the wounded getting away to die. Tbs
abominable practice resulted in the
death by starvation of the young left
on the islands by the females which
were shot at sea.
Statistics show that there is no
more inhuman and villainous practice
than the pursuit of seals in the open
sea. Japanese were largely respon-
sible for the Staying of thousands OF
seal by the pelagic method.
1t is said that some fishermen now
occasionally shoot seals when not IN
der observation, but the practice mas
generally been stopped and the govern
ment is able to regulate the number
of seals killed on the northern islands

At an informal meeting of Wiscon-
sin poultry men in Fond du Lac plans
for the organization of the Greater
State Poultry Show association of Wis
consin were adopted, the organization
to embrace the foremost poultry men
Of the state.
The first show probably will be held
in Milwaukee, although this has not
definitely been decided Already ar
rangements have been made to coop
between 1900 and 5000 birds. The
Milwaukee poultry show, which has
been an annual feature in past years.
will not be held this year.
The show that will be staged by the
organization now being launched will
rival the great midwest show that is
to be held in Chicago in December.
The affair will be extensively adver-
tised all over the United States.
The idea of the association is to put
Wisconsin on the map as a great and
fiourishing poultry center.
Those who were in attendance at
the meeting here we're: Judge w. H.
Laads of Waupaca; Judge M. Wells,
Oshkosh; Mrs. Marie d. Pffer, poultry
editor of a Milwaukee newspaper; OF
to Born and G. L. Prefontaine of Fond
du Lac.
The selection of a place for the
show in February will rest largely
upon inducements offered.
