Henry ran to him and pulled and
pulled, but he could not pull poor,
sticky Tommy away. Then some

helped-Mr. Lemon-Drop, some of

Chocolate Cream TO the Rescue.
Little Chocolate Cream happened
to pass while they were pulling.
Stop" she cried. Don't you see
you are pulling poor Tommy out into

Sure enough-Tom was now very
thin, and so long that he extended
half way down the block.
Chocolate Cream quickly snatched
up the garden hose and turned a
stream of cold lemonade 80 Tommy.
1t was just the right thing to do.
Tom at once grew stronger; soon
his feet stopped sticking and he got
up and walked away.
But how queer he felt! Dear

Tommy Finds He's Stretched.
But when he tried to go in he
found he was much too tall to get

enter by crawling.
Just then Mrs. Taffy came home.
"Oh, Tommy" she said, what have
you done to yourself?"-and burst
into tears.
Tommy pretended he did not

he said. What fun it will be to be
so tall! Why, can look in the up

But somehow it was not so much

found the oldest known manuscript of the Bible.
The monks have occupied this ancient mon
astery for about 1900 years, since the foundation
OF the Christian religion. This monastery lies
along the route by which the Turks were re-
ported to be advancing to attack the British de-
tenders of Egypt. 1t is possible that the peace.
full inmates of this very ancient sacred building
may be driven out by war.
At the foot of the mountain lies the plain
of assembly" where the Israelites waited for
Moses to bring down the laws to them.
Persons who have read about certain modern
enterprises in Jerusalem and other parts of the
Holy Land may have gained an idea thu. the
Turk has become more amiable in recent years.
This is O mistake. You can only get anything
from the Turk by paying him exorbitantly. and
this Is not always possible.
Until recently" writes the Rev. Lewis B. Pa
ton, professor of Old Testament history in Hart
ford Theological seminary, mo permits for exca.
walton were given by the government, and when.
under European pressure, frmans were at last
granted, these were hedged around with so many
restrictions that they were of little practical
value. According to the present Turkish law OF
antiquities, the consent of the local authorities
must first be secured before a permit will be
issued in Constantinople. To obtain this a lavish
expenditure of money is necessary in order to
overcome the fanaticism and prejudice of the
provincial authorities.
"The site desired for exploration must be
purchased at a price estimated by the owners.
After local permission is secured endless delay
and bakshish are necessary before an edict can
be secured from the central government. When
at last it is obtained a Turkish commissioner,
whose expenses are paid by the excavator, must
be constantly in attendance to decide what may
and what may not be done, and all antiquities dis
covered must be turned over to the imperial Otto
man museum. These conditions stand in dis
agreeable contrast to the liberal provisions in
Egypt, where any competent person is allowed
to excavate, and is required only to divide his
finds with the Cairo museum.
AT the beginning the exploration of Pales-
tine was confined to the study OF places and
objects that remained above ground. Edward
Robinson, the distinguished American archeolo-
gist and professor in Union Theological seminary,
New York, in a series of journeys carried on dur
ing the years following 1888. and the French
scholar, Guerin, ascertained the modern names
OF many localities, and succeeded in Identifying
them with places mentioned in the Bible. The
Palestine exploration fund, founded In England
in 1855. and largely supported by American con-
t%ributors, conducted an elaborate survey of Pales-
tine, whose results were embodied in their Great
Way Of Palestine which is still the standard.
Other explorations were carried on at Jeru.

On the other hand, the women of
