80 And Eleazar the priest took
the brazen censers. wherewith they
that were burnt had offered; and
they were made broad plates for a
covering of the altar:
40 To be memorial unto the
children of Israel. that no stranger,
which Is not of the seed of Aaron,
come near to offer incense before the
Lord: that he be not as Korah, and
as his company: as the Lord said
to him by the hand of Moses.
Al Z But on the morrow all the
congregation of the children of
Israel murmured against Moses and
against Aaron. saying. Ye have kill
ed the people of the Lord.
AZ And 1t came to pass. when the
congregation was gathered against
Moses and against Aaron. that they
looked toward the tabernacle of the
congregation: and, behold. the cloud
covered it, and the glory of the Lord
appeared.
43 And Moses and Aaron came
before the tabernacle of the congre-
CATION.
a And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying.
IS Get you up from among this
congregation. that 1 may consume
them as in a moment. And they fell
upon their faces.
46 And Moses said unto Aaron,
Take a censer, and put fire therein
from of the altar. and put on in
cense. and go quickly unto the con-
gregation, and make an atonement
for them: for there Is wrath gone
out from the Lord; the plague is
begun.
Al And Aaron took as Moses COM
manded, and ran into the midst of
the congregations; and, behold, the
plague was begun among the people:
and he put on incense. and made an
atonement for the people.
AZ And he stood between the
dead and the living; and the plague
was stayed.
~ Now they that died in the
plague were fourteen thousand and
seven hundred, besides them that
died about the matter of Korah.
SO And Aaron returned unto
Moses unto the door of the taberna-
Gle of the congregations: and the
plague was stayed.

Folks and Things

Labert St. Clair.

The experience Of r. G. Cholmeley-
Jones, director of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, in working late
should be a lesson to all government
officials to leave their Offices at 4:30
o'clock, or earlier.
Cholmeley-Jones came into his Job
from another that paid three times
as much as his present salary de-
termined to do three times as much
work as he formerly did. OF course
it was impossible for him to do this
in the regularly allotted seven hours
in which government employees are
supposed to do their work, so he
stuck around the bureau at night,
signing letters and such.
Finally, one night, having signed
all of his letters used up all of his
blotters and all that sort of thing.
he went down into the basement of
the bureau building to see how
things were kept there. He prowled
around an hour or so, barking his
shins against boxes and barrels and.
at length. as he emerged into a
lighted space. he was brought up
short by a watchman.
Here. what are you doing, burg
lsring around this place.? the watch
man demanded.
why, why, I'm not burGlaring.
I'm just looking around. I'm the
director, you see," the director re-
piled.
mo, / don't see, and you'd better
direct yourself out of here right
away" the wstchman said. taking
the director by the arm.
Which, seeming sage advice to the
director, he took and went home to
waste several hours in sleeping.
