Bones May Be Those
of Famous Drunkdrds

Human remains, buried under
two or three yards Of debris which
had fallen from the ceiling of
great underground grotto, were dis
covered seven miles north Of Jeru-
salem by Prof. William Babe, head
Of the American archaeological ex-
petition which unearthed the huge
city wall, greater than that of Je-
rusalem itself, Pierre Van Paassen
writes in the Atlanta Constitution.
1t has been suggested that Tel
Ell Nasbeth is the site Of the treas
ure city Of Solomon. Professor
Babe discovered a natural lime
stone cave artificially enlarged to a
great underground chamber. The
entrance to the grotto was found
in the basement Of large building.
From the entrance stone steps led
to the bowels of the earth and to
the cave. The human remains
were apparently buried. by ancient
earthquakes. Beneath the debris
was found a number of great wine
jars Of the Seventh century, B. c.,
indicating that the chamber, above
which was a wine press, was a
store for the reputed drunkards Of
Ephraim. ('sWoe to the crown of

fell on him and he was tried and
escaped conviction only when an

Made Arro,0 Complete
Its Destined Course

In the mountain province of Luz
zon, Philippine islands, where the
IgOrOts and Ifugaos and Kalingas
live by primal laws duplicated in
the Old Testament of the Bible, but
modified by Christ's philosophy In
the New, a journeying missionary
priest recently was shot in the back
with an arrow. He turned back
trying to discover his hidden as
sailant, and when the young man
in the bushes found out that he
was a priest, he came and knelt
before him and begged heavenly
pardon. There was a feud on, he
explained, and he had thought the
priest an enemy; in the dusk of
late twilight he had not recognized
the priests garb. All right, but
how could they get the arrow out
OF the priests back? Oh, that would
be very easy and would not hurt
much; so the young mountaineer
stepped behind the priest, cut the
feather-end off the arrow and
damned the point on through the
priests body; and then he stepped
around in front and pulled the ar
row out. The wound healed soon
enough, no vital organs having
been scotched.-Exchange.
