3EERSHEBA TAKEN
BY BRITISH

The British have captured Beersheba
and Tommy Atkins is singing Zip
perary" where in the dawn of the world
Abimlech's daughter once sounded the
loud timbrel, and he is washing the
desert sands from his throat with the
waters that once performed the same
service for Abraham and Isaac, and
that saved the life Of Hagar, the hood
woman, and her outcast son, Ishmael.
Pr~osaically, the brief dispatches an
nounce the news, yet the very name,
says the Kansas City Star, is redolent
of the primal poetry of civilization and
evokes pictures that have been famil-
lar to the world for thousands of years
Beersheba, we vision it as the mysteri-
Gus sanctuary visited by the angels
of the Lord, the "place of the cove
nant," where the first treaty of peace
recorded in the Bible was solemnly
pledged, and where the life Of the
first nomad was sustained to found a
mighty nation, whose descendants, the
Arabs, by the way, assisted the British
in investing the town and effecting its
capture.
Beersheba is one Of the most ancient
of the towns of Palestine. In these
days it enjoys the distinction Of being
a railroad town on a road that runs to
the Egyptian border. 1t is about for
ty miles from Jerusalem, midway be-
tween GAIA and Hebron" and in the
days of kings and judges it marked
the southern limits Of the land of Pal
estine. From Dan to Beersheba," has
passed into a proverb.
The first mention Of the place in
the Bible is in connection with the
story Of Hagar, the Egyptian, bond
wife of Abraham, and her son. Ishmael
the disinherited, who were driven into
the desert by Abraham, instigated by
the jealousy of Sarah.
"And Abraham rose up early in the
morning and took bread and a bottle
of water and gave it unto Hagar, put
ting it on her shoulder, and the child,
and sent her away, and she departed
and wandered in the wilderness of
Beersheba."
And here, when she and the boy we're
f~orespent with thirst, the angel Of
the Lord appeared to Hagar and
"opened her eyes and she saw a we'll
of water, and she went and filled the
bottle with water and gave the lad
drink and he grew and dwelt in the
That was the first well Of Beershe-
ba, which afterwards became a great
watering place" for the nomads of
the desert. It was known as the place
ef seven wells" Abraham dug one of
them, when he went there to make his
peace with Abimelech, the Philistine,

A TWIST.

| wrote an optimistic verse
To keep my heart from signing:
The world had gone from bad to worse
And men were yainly dying
So thus | forced myself to sing
In face of dire defeat:
Mans laughter is the wholesome thing
That makes this sad world sweet!
Ny message never reached mankind,
That had such need to hear it:
Men think | have a cynic mind
And ultra-Prussian spirit!
And yet tried my best to sing
The song that | repeat
"Man's laughter is the wholesome thing
That makes this sad world sweet
0 fate that works from sun to sun,
In bright or stormy weather!
Why should the printer man have run
Those first two words together?
He set my lines to hold a sting
And made my thought a cheat
Manslaughter is the wholesome thing
That makes this sad world sweet"

The Beersheba Of today IS a sort Of
county seat the center Of a neighbor-
hood Of about 1900 inhabitants, a rail-
road station, a post andtelegraph Office
having one main street, with a few
stores. 1t lies, according to a recent
traveller, "just beyond the borderwhere
permanent cultivation is possible with
out irrigation. Under present condi-
tons, a large town like that indicated
by the ruins would scarcely grow up,
unless radically new methods of ag-
riculture were introduced. Now, as in
ancient times, the seven wells are used
only to furnish drinking water. There
are signes of progress, however, for a
pump, run by gasoline, has been es-
tablished by the government at one
Of the wells. 1t is operated two hours
a day and pumps enough water for
the 800 inhabitants of the town."
Around about the town are drifts of
yellow desert sands, as in the days of
Ishmael, piled to a height of ten or
twenty feet. Hills of these sands,
formed by the western winds, are COW
cred with short grass and bushes, be-
tween which rude little patches of cul-
tivated ground are to be found.-oU
