WHAT DO *
P. S. JEANS
JP DO?
IS Eaater dawn,” th« lillaa
■ay.
"And Christ, our Lord. Is
risen today.
Let every heart be glad.”
But in Ood'a acre far away, y
He ilea, who once waa blithe and gay;
My heart With dole is sad.
“What means the Easter dawn to met"
I asked in gray despondency;
“My life is drenched and dead.”
The lilies quivered as in pain,
"The one you love will live again.
And ever live,” they said. r
"Since Jesus Urea, we cannot die.
For ua He came on earth to buy
A life eternal. There
Within a mansion safe, feey. too.
Now live, the dearest ones we knew,
Secure from pain and care.”
“O lilies, teach my heart to sing
This anthem of your risen King,.
That I may learn to live.”
Their fragrant censers looked at me
In love, and whispered tenderly:
”Tourself more freely give/'
I’ve a mighty good opinion of the
plain, old-fashioned plan, that they
shouldn’t run fer office till the of
fice seeks the man—for, it’s mighty
nigh disgustin’ when we contemplate
the mob, that cavorts around the
country simply huntin’ fer a job!
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!
I’ve watched the game impartial—
and I’ll state in white and black, that
we better watch the candidate that’s
first upon the track. . . . And, when
I cast my ballot, as I’m mighty apt
to do, you’ll see me scratch the fel
ler that has the least to do!
STRAYED—From my place about
week ago one shoat, black with one
or two white spots, 70 or 75 pounds.

EW cities In the world have
had a history so varied and
tragic as Jerusalem, the holy
city of the Jews and the
■acred city to which at Eas
ter all Christian eyes art
turned. 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. Only a few tombs and the
t» tell the story bt the Jerusalem of
