There is another and classical
anccdote about woman from dis
tant state, who in the pioneer days
made written application to ruSal
board for position, and to whom
the trustees replied that they had
decided to employ no more women,
for the same reason indicated in the
complaint now made at Silver Lake.
The applicant, being under no illI-
sions as to her pulchritude, and pos.
sessing sense of hunor, counter
replied with her photograph. Where
upon she got the job, director re-
marking that at last the district WAS

the modesty which got her the job

and less consequential features whic..

illustrates the point that ii Cupid

THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY

LONDON, England.-The freedom
of the City of London, with which
the Prince of Wales was presented
recently, is one OF the most cher
ished and ancient of civic privileges.
The actual document. given to His
royal highness is piece of parch-
ment incribed with his names and
titles and guaranteeing to him and
his descendants many privileges to
which he would not otherwise be en-
titled. Thus he will not have to paw
tax on any goods brought within
the city gates, nor will he have to
render naval or military service.
Should he fall on evil times the
Prince of Wales would be entitled
to pecuniary aid.

The third fact is that the Jews
have always been drawn to Pales-
tine as the ancient home of their
fathers, and have always hoped
and prayed for it's restoration to
it's prophetically promised glories.
Tho Jerusalem with its temple
was destroyed by the legions OF
Titus, and still later was plowed
over by Hadrian, and a Roman
city, Aelia Capitolina, established
on it's ruins; and tho with the
forlorn hope of Bar Kokhba the
nations spirit was completely
crushed; and Jerusalem was for
time entirely barred to Jews, yet
Jews never ceased to live in some
corners of Palestine, and for hun
dreds of years still maintained

to marry outside of their small sect,
they have sadly deteriorated, and
have gradually dwindled down in
numbers, counting barely one hun
dred and fifty souls, with more men
than women; so that unless they
begin to intermarry with other
stocks they are doomed to extinc-
ton.
But aside from the Samaritans,
there never was time when Jews
did not brave all possible dangers,
and undergo all possible hardships,
to settle in the land of their fathers.
So that throughout the ages we find

men, the Ishmaelites, Amalekites,
and Edomites used to do. The vii
layers known as fallaheen, and the
town-dwelling Arabs, many OF
whom are Christians, are only one
degree removed from the semi
barbarous conditions of the Bedou-
ms. An Arab village is simply heap
of mud and stone novels, without
windows, without any furnishings,
with holes for doors, in which they
often live together with their ami
mails. Of dress, food, and other hui
man needs, the Arab has but the
scantiest and the poorest. The
Arab cultivates the soil in the same
primitive fashion, with the same
primitive implements, as did his an
cestors 1900 years ago. And his
other industries are carried on by
him in the same semi-barbarous
manner. The cities that were large
ly built or rebuilt by the Arab and
Turkish conquerors, often out of the
materials taken from the ruins Of the
destroyed older cities, are typically
oriental, or Levantine, dark and
dingy, with narrow winding alleys
for streets, illpaved or unpaved,
arched over in many places, especial
ly where the bazaars are; without
water supply except what is gathered
from the winter rainfall in cisterns;
without sanitation, garbage often
decaying in the streets, unless
cleaned up by the ever-present hum
cry, sorry-looking ours, the natural
scavengers of the Orient. Some
cities are still partly or entirely sur
rounded by walls like Jerusalem it
self, adding to the general gloom
and dinginess. Whatever art the
Mohammedan Arabs have de-
veloped, and judging by their medic
val history in Mesopotamia and
Spain, they are highly gifted race,
and has been spent by them on their
mosques, or houses of worship, har-
ems, or holy shrines. The most
beautiful building in Palestine, and
undoubtedly one Of the most beau
tiful in the world, beautiful in it's
simple elegance, is the so-called
Mosque of Omar, or the Dome of
the Rock, an octagonal building,
topped by perfect and exquisitely
shaped dome, ornamented with
beautiful tiles, marbles and marble
pillars, richly stained windows, and
