Of course the’' princely salary’s a mighty temptin’ bait to the crooked politicians that would like to serve the state,—but I call to mind the doin’s of some over-trusted men who would serve the country safer—if we had ’em in the pen!

So catastrophic have been the changes that have taken place that the modern traveler In Jerusalem can scarcely visualize the city as It ex isted In the time of Christ. Ho com plete was the destruction of the old city that It has been only with the greatest (difficulty that the sites men tioned In the life of Christ have been even approximately identified. It was probably in the year 29 that the crucifixion occurred, and In 7U the city waa completely destroyed by Ves- | paslan and Titus. With the Ixceptlon of several towers left as monuments to Titus, and a quarter of the city on high ground, Jerusalem was razed to the ground, and for a period of tiU years lay In ruins. It was not until 136 that the Emperor Hadrian built on the-old site the new city of Aella CapltoHna aa a home fer veteran sol di erg. Jews were rigoronsly excluded from Adla, .’Tttiich bee ame a typical Greek city, reflecting all the phases of Byzantine development. When the emperors became Christians the name of the city was changed back to Jeru salem, and Christian rather than Jew ish memories were cherished. In the Seventh century the Saracens captured Jerusalem, holding it until 1690, when It was wrested from the Moslems by the Crusaders, who held It for a stormy and nncertain 90 years. The Crusaders were driven out. by Saladln in 1187, and from that time until the capture of Jerusalem by the British in the great World war the city was under the rule ef the Mos lems. Saracen caliphs, Egyptian sul tans and Ottoman Turks In turn were masters of tye Holy City, but It was not until 1840 that the European pow ers officially recognised Moslem sov ereignty In Jerusalem. Through the long centuries of misrule and oppres sion, Christian and Jew dreamed of the day when the creecent would be driven out of Paleetlne forever, e day that has only recently dawned. Taken as a whole, the Jerusalem of today Is a typical Saracen city. Its more conspicuous features date from the time of Saracen occupation, afid even where Saracen builders used old material they gave the remodeled architecture their own peculiar stamp that makes It Moslem. The Temple area is Saracen; the old city walls arc Saracen, although the foundations are Roman. The older churches and a number of substantial structures date from the occupation of the Crusaders. Of aitclety Jerusalem there IS little to be dlecoverefl and much less to be seen. Little remains as ft was prior to the coming of the Saracens and the Crusaders.
