PLACE OF sAMsows BURIAL
Memory Of Samson Has Been Pre-
served for Many Ages In Historic
City Of GAIA.

A correspondent with the army be-
fore GAIA mentions Samson Ridge. Is
the name native or newly coined?
tasks correspondent. The Hebrew
hero is honored still in GAIA, though
not by his name. A mosque in the
eastern quarter of the town known as
Ali Merwan-the imprisoned-is re-
vered as his tomb. It is a modern
cenotaph, and the tradition is record
ed in the middle ages.
Saladln plundered the city, but fail
ed to take the cathedral, gurisoned
by Templars. But eventually GAIA
fell to the Saracens, and by the treaty
between Saladin and Richard Of Eng
land in 1902 1t was adjudged to remain
In their hands. The Templars held
the place barely 80 years, but evil
dence of their tenure remains I'm the
great mosque, which is none other
than the Cathedral of st. John the
Baptist built by the Templars.
Conspicuous on hill just outside
GAIA, on the southeast, are the three
white cupolas of Ali ell Muntar, and
here a yearly festival is held by the
Moslems. II is held to be the place
to which Samson carried the gates of
the Temple of Dragon. The word
Muntar simply means lookout, but in
certain other spots the name of
Shemsun Ell Jaffer-Samson the Hero
may be traced.
It was in 1170-the year of the
great earthquake-that Saladin launch
ed the forces against GAIA, the first
operation in a campaign which lasted
% years.

ALL WANTED FRONT SEATS
Many and Ingenious Excuses Given
By Attendants at Billy Sundays
New York Meeting.

Judging from the thousands of ex-
cuses that were handed to me by per-
sons who wanted to get seats at the
front of the Tabernacle, Uncle Sam
will have a hard time in obtaining men
and women in fit condition to do the
arduOus work connected with the
war" said a man who put in ten
strenuous weeks as an usher at the
Billy Sunday meetings at New York.
Deafness appeared to be the prin-
cipal complaint. 1 never thought so
many persons in this city were af-
'flicted with bad hearing. Lame men
and women became so common at the
meetings that we ushers never paid
any attention to them unless it was
obvious that they were really the vic
tins of infirmities.
''Some persons physically perfect
even went so far as to be wheeled to
the Tabernacle in invallds' chairs just
to get good place near the evangelist
And the number of persons who suf
fered from internal disorders that
might result fatally IL they got. in a
jam! I'm certainly glad 1t Is all over
as was near to nervous prostration."
The ex-usher admitted that he was
on the point of quitting his place many
times, but he feared to weaken and
have to stand the jeers Of his wife and
his relatives.

Two men were billeted on a farmhouse

The WhaIer

All day the warship had watched
steam trawlers going to and fro In this
lonely region Of the ocean. All day
the mother ship had cruised along the
horizon, her lookouts manned and.
keeping a close watch upon the sea.
The steam trawlers moved in response
to the mother ships signals, easily
read. They had made great havoc
with the whales, towing their car
cases to the larger vessel. The odor
filled the air and carried conviction to
the warship's crew.
The warship exchanged only Gus
tomary signals with the whaler. 1t
would have been pleasant to go away
from her odorous neighborhood. But
this was impossible. 1t was about here
that the German raider might be ex-
pected on her way home from south
ern waters.
Night fell, a velocity darkness clos
ing over the smooth surface Of the
ocean. There were at first few
twinkllng stars, In particular the
Southern Cross. Then, on little gust
of wind, cloud rode over these bright
specks of the grading sky. It grew
pitch dark with rumbles of thunder
The red and green sidelights of the
whaler flickered across the hidden wa
tiers. Pretty soon she would be light
ing great fires to try out oil.
Some time went by and q CHASTITY
spot of flame wickered and danced in
the whaling ships rigging. A corpo-
SAINT, spirit of some poor dead sailor,
skipping about aloft and yelling, as
he loosed the canvas, a hoarse and
CHEEKY message to the deck below:
"Sheet homer
And now you could not see your
hand before your face. The warship,
urilt and moving slowly, doomed dimly
in the darkness, like a great shape Of
fate in ambush waiting to pounce on
her prey.
Then came the betrayal. PhOsphO-
rescence marked the ripples along the
whalers's sides; phosphorescence, a
cleaning streak Of gold, charted the
path of the warship; the same bright
luminous magic played around GER
tain oval shapes emerging suddenly
from underseas. Whales? Never were
whales like these, appearing suddenly
out of the ocean depths and ;arong.
ing about their hunter.
1t was necessary TO strike swiftly
or perish. Once the mother ship es-
tablished contact with her mOnstrvus
brood 1t would be too late. The bril-.
liant phosphorescence llmned the tar
gets clearly. The warship brought hel
guns to bear instantly, there was a
noise heavier than thunder and more
enduring, red flames lit the night.
All three submarines were appar.
emily sunk by the destroyer's gunfire.
The mother ship, which had not dared
to fee By day, was riddled and left to
sink or rot In the midst Of the car.
casses Of the whales. From papers on
board her her rendezvous with the
raider was ascertalned, and the war.
ship, under full speed. drove suddenly
ahead through the night, the velvety
night with CLEANS Of phosphorescence
glinting the surface of the sea.
