Matching Pests Were Driven

Djemal Pasha put some thousands

This is the only means of coping with
the situation: once the locuSts get
their wings, nothing can be done with

dren working in the fields until they
were exhausted-the Arab farmers sat
by with folded hands. The threats of
the military authorities only stirred
them to half-hearted efforts. Finally,
after two months of toll, the campaign
was given up and the locusts broke in
waves over the countryside, destroying
everything. AS the Prophet Joel said
1.-THE land is as the Garden of Eden
before them, and behind them desc
late wilderness. The field is wasted !:
the land mourneth, for the corn ii
wasted; the new wine is dried up, the
oil languisheth."
Not only was every green leaf de
voured, but the very bark was peeled
from the trees, which stood out white
and lifeless, like skeletons. The fields
were striped to the ground, and the
old men of our villages, who had given
their lives to cultivating these gardens
and vineyards, came out of the syna
gogues where they had been praying
and wailing and looked on the ruin
with dimmed eyes. Nothing was
spared. The insects, in their fierce
hunger, tried to engulf everything in
their way.-Alexander Aaronsohn, i

Senator Kenyon stirred the SEN

day. He was talking about child Ia

drew a picture of a farmers boy sit

The senator was contrasting the
life of the factory boy and the farm
boy. He said that while the farm boy
worked in the fields, rested at noon by
turning the grindstone, MIXED the
cows and so on, still he went swim
ming and fishing, saw the circus, and
had pretty good time.

At the beginning Of the world war
Brody was thriving commercial CEN
ter with population approaching TO-
00O more than two-thirds of whom
were Jews. It's prosperity was checked
to some extent about 40 years ago,
when, after having enjoyed the privi-
leges of a free commercial city for
exactly 100 years, it's charter was with
drawn.
Less than half a century before
BrOdy was created town in the sew
enteenth century it was the scene OF
an important battle in which the Poles,
commanded by their famous grand
hetman, Stanislaus Ponieckpolski, de.
feated a Tartar army. This was the
last battle of Ponieckpolski'S dis
tinguished career. For a quarter Of a
century he was at war with Turks and
Swedes, his initiation in military
science being somewhat disastrous, for
he was captured by the Turks in his
first important engagement and was
held in close confinement for three
years at COnstantinOple. Upon his re.
lease in 1862 he was placed in COM
mand of the Polish republics forces
and with a force of $4,000 defeated CO.,
600 Tartars at Martynow. His achieve
ments against the army of Gustavus
AdOlphus were no less noteworthy than
his long series of victories whereby he
succeeded in keeping the Ukraine un-
der Polish rule.
Brody twice suffered from disas'
trous conflagrations during the nine
teenth century. The first, occurring
in 1901, destroyed 1900 houses, while
the fire of 1859 reduced 1000 homes
and business establishments to ashes,
The upper waters of the Styr river
form an irregular arc extending from
the southwest to the north of Brody,
being ten miles distant at It's nearest
point, toward the northwest. Five
miles from the city, just beyond the
border on the DubncLemberg railway,
is the Russian town of Radziwilowl
with population of about 5000.

JUDGE CLAYTON KNEW

Sometimes it comes in handy for
q United States judge to have been a
member of congress. Judge Henry D.
Clayton, who is on the circuit bench of
Alabama, not long ago was trying a
case in which the question of a mans
handwriting was involved. Under the
Alabama law it was always necessary
to prove a persons handwriting, and
the admission of ones writing by com
parison could not be taken in evi-
dence to prove the authenticity of a
document introduced in evidence. The
defendant sought to gain point in
his case by introducing letter in the
handwriting of one of the parties in
volved. Judge Clayton ruled that the
writing was admissible.
Immediately the lawyer on the
other side rose and suggested to fhe
court that his long service in con-
gress had probably made him rusty
in the law; that handwriting could not
be proved by comparison with writing
