WHY HE WAS POPULAR.

When the Slocum Tennis club held
q carnival In aid of war funds every
body began to talk about Blinkers.
What costume would he wear? His
calves were too thin for knee breeches
and his arms too slim for . Viking;
while his small head, scant of hair,
would be lost in an antique helmet.
On the great day, however, Blink
ers was first favorite. All the women
crowded round him and voted for him
to have the prize, while William the
Conqueror and Hamlet loafed dismal
ly round alone.
A late arrival, logged out as re-
splendent Roman warrior, asked:
whats the trouble with 'you fell
lows? You all look as cheerful as a
wet week :"
Its that Blinkers" came a chorus
of growls. "The little brute came as a
Bargain, marked down to one and
eleven three, and every blessed girl
in the place is fighting to get near
him !"-Pearson's Weekly.

1t moved northward lay the noun
tain ranges of the Lebanon, and
Aleppo, the taking of which city gave
complete control of the Syrian end OF
the Bagdad railway and of the i'm
portant port of Alexandretta, the best
harbor in the country. From Damas-
Gus the railway to the north traverses
the Beka'a, a long, fertile valley be-
tween the Lebanon and Anti-LebanOn
ranges. In the middle of this valley
on the slope of the latter range is
situated the ancient town of Baalbek
celebrated for its wonderful ruins.
Baalbek is a small and prosperous
town, q large part of the population
being Christian, says Country Life,
and it is the seat Of the government
of q province of the same name and
a military center. Ya'kubi, an Arab
writer of the ninth century, speaks OF
Baalbek as one of the finest towns of
Syria. and other writer's make allusion
to this beautiful spot and its wonder
full ruins. 1t is spoken of by the geog-
rapher, Nur Kaddasi, as the coolest
place in Syria.
AS the name Baalbek, which Is
Semitic in origin. implies, 1t was con-
nected from early times with the wor-
ship of the sun, probably meaning the
city of Baal in the Beka'a, by which
the plain is known. The PhOenicians
here erected great temple to Baal
constructed with colossal stones after
their manner. This was afterwards
utilized and reconstructed in the Grae.
