Libnah:
80 And the Lord delivered II al
so. and the king thereof. into the
hand of Israel; and he smote It with
the edge of the sword, and all the
souls that were therein; he let none
remain in it; but did unto the king
thereof as he did unto the king of
Jericho.
81 And Joshua passed from
Libnah, and all Israel with him. un-
to Lachish. and encamped against
it, and fought against it:
80 And the Lord delivered Lach-
ish into the hand Of Israel. which
took it on the second day, and
smote it with the edge of the sword
and all the souls that were therein,
according to all that he had done to
LiJnah.
SO z Then Horam king of Gezer
came up to help Lachish; and
Joshua smote him and his people.
until he had left him none remain

"a 7 And from Lachish Joshua
passed unto Eglon, and all Israel
with him; and they encamped
against it:
30 And they took it on that day.
and smOte It with the edge of the
sword, and all the souls that were
therein he utterly destroyed that
day, according to all that he had
done to Lachish.
SO And JOhua went I'D from

it:
81 And they took it, and smote
1t with the edge of the sword. and
the king thereof. and all the cities
thereof, and all the souls that were
therein; he left none rem8ining, ac-
cording to all that he had done to
Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and
all the souls that were therein.
80 7 And Joshua returned. and

80 And he took it, and the king
thereof, and all the cities thereof: !:
AMI they smote them with the edge
Of the sword, and utterly destroyed
all the souls that were therein; he
left none remaining: as he had done
to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and
to the king thereof; as he had done
also to Libnah, and to her king.
40 So Joshua smote all the
country of the hills, and of the
south. and of the vale, and of the
springs. and all their kings: he
left none remaining, but utterly de-
stroyed all that breathed, as the
Lord God of Israel commanded.
Al And Joshua smote them from
Kadesh- barnea even unto GAIA, and
all the country of Goshen, even un-
to Gibeon.
AZ And all these kings and their
land did Joshua take at one time.
because the Lord God of Israei

New Bride Paths in Rock Creek Park.
City Takes on New Life.

The Intelligence division" Of the
Republican national committee ct
Washington has been assigned the
task of keeping an eye on what, in
stead of the shorter and uglier
word" British statesman once
called archaeological inexacti-
tudes" in Gov. Cox's speeches. Yes
terday the division discovered a
couple of little lapsi linguae COM
mitted during the Democratic no IL
inee's vote-hshing expedition in
Southern California. One of thsn
was his reference to Senator TIL
man H. Newberry. of Michigan, as
member Of the Foreign Rela tions
Committee of the Senate. New
berry has never belonged to that
body. The other "inexactitude" wa,
Gov. Cox's statement to SoutheI n
Californians that when he was in
Congress in 1909 he advocated
tariff on lemons and other citrus
fruits. Diligent search at the Cap
itol dlscloses, the Republican
sleuths say, no evidence OF such
FRUITFUL activities on Representa-
tive Cox's part.
New Bride Paths Opened.
washington's Joy and pride, Rock
Creek Park, is becoming one of the
equestrian paradises of America.
During recent months a number OF
new bride paths have been opened,
and 1t now is possible to ride for

a bit of sylvan forest as the United
States affords. That the all-con-
quering auto has not entirely dis
placed the horse may be observed
on any of these salubrious Indian
summer days in Rock, Creek Park,
for it is seldom that the winding
bride paths are not traversed by
numbers of well-known riders, both
men and women. from the army.

Capital Again Mecca.
The resumed sittings of the Ken

of Washington life. The capital has
been filling up gradually during the
past few weeks with political nota-

hotel restaurants are resumins
what Senator Harding would call
normalcy, and time has
come into its own again as the
Nitching hour for political strata

Washington will once again be the

New York City
BY o. o. Mcintyre.

New York, Sept. 2l.-
I decided to open.
A bank account down town.
Near my new quarters.
SO 1 waited until I had
Quite a few checks.
And, I had a few large bills.
Changed into one dollar bills.
So it would look big.
And went over to the bank.
And they told me to go.
Into the presidents once.
So 1 went in aid sat down.
And soon a man came in.
And I got up and shook hands.
And talked about the weather.
And he left and came back.
with a bucket and mop.
And it was the head porter.
So sat down again.
And another fellow came.
And It was the president
And my dog barked.
But he only wagged his tail.
Then the porter came in.
And the banker asked me.
Where I was borned.
And I told him Yes"
Which was a silly answer.
But I was excited.
Then he made out a slip.
And I gave him the checks
And the dollar bills
And he counted them.
And scratched his head
And I think he wanted.
To suggest to me.
That it would be better
For me to take the money.
And buy some marbles.
Or a skipping rope.
But he had just had lunch.
And was in a good humor.
So he accepted it
And gave me a bank book.
And l went out
And stood on the steps.
In front for awhile.
Hoping someone would pass.
Who would try to speak.
So I could snub them.
But the private policeman.
stepped up and told me.
Not to block the entrance
So I went on home.
