Some persons need 20 be scared or
smitten into reformation. There is
plenty of precedent and warrant for
the chastening of Germany in order
to insure a change in her character.
Jacob, non OF Isaac, who had not a
few points in common with the Kali
ser, had to be souRdly frightened,
and his ambitious schemes wreck
ed. before he ever found his bet
ter self. When he became fugitive
from the vengeance of his outraged
brother Esau, he had a new stand
point from which to view himself.
4 lonely wanderer, affrighted at
every shadow and every sound, with
no servant to accompany him, and
with no wealth in his hand, Jacob
was far removed from his former
position as arch-conspirator in the
household of his rich father, Isaac.
Now there was no fond, shrewd and
unscrupulous mother to incite or
abet him. He was on his own; and
that is often the beginning of great
things in q young mans life.
Jacob was on the run, with a
guilty conscience for his only COM
panion. He and his mother had pre-
sented to Isaac another reason for
the flight-the Importance of secur-'
ing for Jacob a wife from the old
family stock up in Haran. Really.
though, it was fear of Esau that
quickened his footsteps. Jacob
might be better businessman than
his brother, and able to outplay him
in any game of guile, but in
straightout fight he was afraid of
the hairy hunter. So the successful
schemer was fleeing from his own
home, looking for q chance to begin
life over again in safety. All his
trickery had been in vain.

An air or reality surrounds

maintained headquarters, after de-

the Sinai Peninsula. From Beer

north, and are still going. until they
reach Haran, o. until General Mar

LARRY LAJOlE WEAK AT BAT
Minneapolis Pitcher Makes Remark
able Discovery That He Can't
Hit Those Behind Him.

Larry Lajoie's short stay in the
American association resulted in the
discovery of his batting weakness, a
secret that had remained unsOlved for
the duration Of the slugger'S long
career in the majors. 1t was Il Mime
apolis pitcher who got rhe dope on
Larry, according to an umpire who
was telling President Hickey about it.
During a game between indianapolis
and the MillerS, this pitcher came to
the bench after an inning and In a
matter-of-fact tone told his mates
that he had found Lajoie's weakness.
After the excitement had been quelled,
during which every other pitcher had
eagerly demanded the solution of the
mystery, the aforementioned pitcher
blandly remarked:
pitch the ball high and behind
him."
