The district bill, which would be- come effective November 1, was brought to vote after stubborn opposition had delayed for several hours the final roll call, which the leaders knew would mean passage. All day and until late in the evening they stood by their guns, exhausting every parliamentary expedient to ward off action and watching for an opportunity to put the measure into a position that would meanAit it's failure with the expiration of the session Sunday.
 LAST STAND MADE
 Failing to displace the bill or to force an adjournment. the filibusterers centered their attention on an effort to add amend ments that would throw it into confer- ence and prevent enactment at this ses- sion. They made their last stand on an amendment that would have given the people of the district a referendum on the proposal and would have put into the measure a provision prohibiting inn portaton of liquor for personal use. This was voted down I'll to 232. Various other amendments were rejected by similar ma jorities.
 MANY LONG ROLL CALLS A
 Debate on the measure had been liy' by the drastic rule under which iA been brought up, so that the usual a matic features of filibusterlng strategy were replaced by long roll calls, forced by the opposition on repeated motions to adjourn, points of no quorum, amend ments and resolutions to give some other bill the right of way After several hours the prohibition champions despaired of passing at all the House bill reported from the District of Columbia commit

The LOST TRIBES.
A Mystery Of the Hebrew People That
Has pehed Solution.

Has Defied Solution.
The lost tribes" or at least part OF
thcm-remain mystery to this day.
A portion OF the Hebrew people-the
tribes OF judah and BEN
cd from exile and became the ances-
tors OF the Jewish people. The story
OF their return Is recorded IN the books
Of Ezra and Nehemiah.
Others. probably some OF them be-
longing to the missing tribes OF the
northern kingdom. are believed to have
returned from still remoter lands and
mixed with the Jews In Palestine
again (see' Luke II, 36). while few at
least probably mingled with the mixed
population with which the king Of As
syria colonized Samaria and who be-
came the ancestors Of the Samaritans.
Many. however. remained In the Assy-
rian empire and lived IN colonies
throughout the east.
Various writers have claimed that
traces Of them had been found among
the Afghans and also among the Tar-
tars, the HISTORIANS and In India and
Africa, but these are rather specula-
tive ideas than substantial evidence.
Joscphus, the Jewish historian. wrote
that the habitable globe was so full OF
Jews that there was scarcely a corner

Tn. enoII.h Soldier. Cane.

II is one Of the regulations. Of the
British army that every soldier when
walking out must carry In his hand a
stick In order to preserve a soldlerly
appearance and prevent anything like
slouchlng In his gait. This rule applies
to all ranks. and should any one seek
to evndc IT he would find his progress
barred by the sentry at the barrack
gate or entrance to camp. J'rivates gen
orally carry light canes or "swaggcr
sticks" noncommlssioned officers fair
ly stout sticks. and officers invariably
go IN for the more expensive Kind. II
Is question that has often hecn
asked, Who first suggested the idea?
But nobody seems to know. From the
earliest times drill sergeants aud drum
majors have carried sticks and the
fashion may have come from that fact.
