"FREAK" EDITIONS OF BIBLE
On Account Of Their Peculiar Errors
Some Of Them Are Worth Con-
siderable Money.

Several examples of freak" edi-
lions of the Bible recently came under
the auctioneer's hammer in London.
One Of the most remarkable is known
as the big Bible" In this. the con.
text of the Ninety-first Psalm runs ::
"ThOu shalt not be afrayed for eny
bugges by night"-"bugges." in medie-
val times meaning Nightmares and
other terrOrs.
Another curious example In the col
lection Is the "Treacle Bible" in
which the passage, Jeremiah 500,
reads: "There is no more triacle at
Gylead." The "Murderers' Bible"
takes its title from an error in the
translation Of Jude, verse s, which in
the Authorized Version runs: "rhese
are murmurers, complainers;" while Il
curious misprint in the Beatitudes:
blessed are the place-makers, gave
rise to one set of Bibles being known
MS the place makers" edition.
Altogether there are no fewer than
ten freak" editions of the great book,
some of them are Of considerable value.

Alumni News.

Hearts were again made glad when
on Thursday evening, Dec. %, the
Philokaleans royalty entertained the
Delta Sigmas with a Christmas party.
Among those present were a few of
the old Philos of tn 9 class of '21.
While unfortunately, not all were
present, it was gratifying to see that
the old members still held a warm
feeling towards their Literary Society
and it's present work. There was an
air about it which could not help
putting an old Philo at ease and MAX
ing him feel at home. There was the
big Christmas tree in the center of the
Auditorium filled with boxes, a pres
emit for every one; there was the
music and dancing; there was the
grand march and games, all of which
brought back memories of previous
parties of a like nature. While we
missed some of the teachers and pu-
pills who did much for Philokalean, yet
we have every reason to believe that
the new teachers and pupils have
canght the true spirit and are putt
ting forth their best efforts and tai
ents towards putting Philokalean
where she belongs, at the top.

A Philokalean's Exciting Experienc

A Philokalean's Exciting Experience
The sun had crossed the meridian of
midday at Thurmont High School on
December %, and all the pupils except
Stanley Damuth, Harold Martin, War
rem Weller, and Carroll Creager were
dreaming of the 25th. An eraser sud-
denly flashed across the room and Ed
ward Foreman, star baseball player,
dextrously caught it and so saved
Stanley's dear little life. But alas!
poor Stanley could not resist the temp
tation and once more the eraser fash
ed across the room only to hit a desk
and cause much excitement on the part
of the pupils. Had thunderbolt sud-
denly entered the room the pupils
could not have been more dumbfoun-
ded than they were when Mr.. Brech-
bill entered. After humping him over
the back, he enlightened poor Stan
ley's mind by piece of his own and
walked out of the room. And then
silence reigned, and we went on with
our dream. Carroll Creager, '25

sat reviewing the short life of the
mere babe every one of its childish
movements traced deep, deep track
over their hearts which can be re-
moved by death alone The feeling
of the parents for the child when liv-
ing and for the child now dead is an
other of life's hidden dramas which
is to be called Love"
The tender hearted parents sat
viewing the baby for the last time.
It seemed that giving this darling
baby to God was the greatest sacri-
flee they could think of. Although
they realized that it was probably for
the best, it seemed to them almost I'M
endurable that this most beautiful
baby could not live, even long enough
to have an idea what this world was
like. The smell of the flowers, the
thought of the most beautiful baby
lying dead in a casket of ivory made
the heaIt-rended mother faint away.
While she remained in dreaming
stupor she fancied that she and her
husband were being borne away on
the wings of song, from this world
into the more beautiful one, only to
be received at the Golden Gate by a
laughing, dimpled baby whom they
recognized as their baby son. When
the mother awoke, she felt in her
heart the greatest of life's hidden
dramas, and she knew it to be Faith"

Lies Hidden Dramas

The early sunlight peeped through
the filmy curtain where tiny baby
stretched his still timer hands to
catch the suns cleansing, brilliant
rays. His wondering gaze caught at
and held the morning of day in looks
that spoke the dawn of self. By his
side sat a fond mother looking at her
baby with eyes full of amazement.
What would her boy be? She hoped
he! But lis this not one of the
greatest things that a mans mind
knows of? Is it not that thing which
holds large place in all mems hearts
and is known as "Hope?"
In this same cradle, later in the day,
sunken deeply in silky blue pillows
lay this same baby boy. His life was
slowly, surely ebbing away. Still his
fond mother and father had hopes.
Night and day they were both with
him, every moment making sure that
he had every possible comfort in his
last hours. This, too, was another of
life's dramas which we call Charity"
AS the daylight faded into dusk so
did the life of this tiny baby.
1t seems as though all our lives
Can be likened to the suns path
across the skies.
Dawn in the morning of our lives, and
darkness in the night; and just as
morning in the beginning of the day,
it is the beginning of our lives; as
night is the close of day, it is the close
of our lives. This tiny wax form lying
sunken deeply into satiny blue pillows
had just passed from the evening of
life into the night But for the baby
it would certainly be high noon for
had he never sinned or did he know of
the many, many sins of this big world:
The baby had passed into eternity and
as the heavy hearted, sobbing parents

STRAP-HANGING IN ENGLAND
Congestion Permissible in War Times
Has Been Stopped by Commits
sioner of Police.

"Nevermore," says London, accord
Ing to the Boston Herald, Our Ameri-
can institution Of "straphanging" was
imported there while the city was
enormously overcrOwded during the
war, and the people have had more
than enough of 1t. The practice was
a breach Of traffic laws and police
regulations, but 1t was winked at as
a matter of necessity, because the
proprletors of the underground rail
ways, electric cars and omnibuses
were apparently unable to find the
labor or provide the vehicles that
might have kept their systems In OPP
Grafton under ordinary conditions.
Now, the war having been officially
declared at an end, the London COM
missioner Of police has decided that
the time has come to REINFORCE the
regulations for the public comfort.
Each passenger shall have a seat.
None shall stand in vestibule or on
platform. Any conductor admitting
more persons than the vehicle Is IL
censed to carry will be prosecuted
and fined. Such an offense in a car
owned by municipality will entail
dismissal. The people are to be no
more like "driven CATTLE" whether
dumb or notl Comfortable travel
comes again, and the travellers re-
Joice. They will tell us, no doubt,

VARIOUS TONGUES IN BAGDAD
Pupils at Jews School Are Taught
English, French, Arabic and
Persian Languages.

Most of the public scribes in Bag
dad were either Armenlans or Jews,
both Of whom are natural linguists.
Many that l ran across near AS Serai
mosque and in Zazim Pasha street,
close to the government buildings and
the law courts, knew at least half
dozen languages, writes Roland Gorb-
old, In Asia.
1t is not difficult to acquire that
number in Bagdad itself. When WIS.,
tied the Jews school, the masters put
their pupils through their PAGES by
having them recite their lessons In
English, French, Arabic and Persian.
French has been much used In the
city for social and even business pur-
poses. The tickets to the German
Bagdad railway were printed in Arabic
and French-not German. With the
advent Of the British expeditiOnary
force, signs in English as well as
French began to appear over the shops
in New street.
I laughed at some of these absurd
legends and sighed over them too.
They were as incongruous as the
cinema houses and the watering cart
labeled "Bagdad Municipality" I
never really liked New street Though
It was a necessary and admirable
achievement, 1t did not appeal to the
Imagination.

Water at 80 Cents a Gallon.

At Cow Camp, the dryest point ON
the Silver Peak range, near Tonopah,
New, water isn't quite up to the price
of liquor but it is almost there. They
are paying 80 cents gallon for it, and
residents agree that 1t is cheap at the
price. There isn't any competition.
The water man has monopoly and no
one envies him his job.
The nearest watering place is eleven
miles away. For five miles the water
is carried In a blackboard drawn by
horses. Then the road narrows to
trail and horses are unhitched, the wa
ter bags tied over their backs and the
remainder of the trip is slow. 1t takes
about day to make the trip. In the
old days, when saloons quenched
thirsts, there wasn't the demand for
wafer that there Is now.

Gone, But Not Forgotten

ION the death of Dorothea's pet bird)
Ye Gods! If e'er your eyes were red
With tears DER hapless hours shed,

Would eat nothing but seeds and sage,

The egg was laid from which Bobby

And only with whistling tute,
We taught him all the sounds of flutes
