Damascus Authorities Keep Men of
Deranged Mind In Chains in Full
View of Passers-By.
"Other eights and sounds, by no
means so agreeable, meet the modern
traveler, and doubtless those who jour
neyed through Damascus In Paul's
time as well," writes Dr. Francis E.
Clark, founder of the Young People's
Society of Christian Endeavor. "Never
have I seen more hideous objects than
the Insane men of Damascus. Some
of them, probably those who are par
ticularly violent, are fastened with a
heavy chain to a ring in the wall of
some house or public building. There
they sit upon the sidewalk day and
night, covered, If at oil, from the blis
tering rays of the sun or the dews of
evening, by a little awning of burlap,
almost naked, gnashing their teeth, or
perhaps with a stupid, dull Indiffer
ence in their eyes, depending upon the
charity of the passers-by."
"The last spot we can visit," Doctor
Clark says In concluding the chapter,
"Is the ancient wall through whose
windows It Is said that Saint Paul es
caped. Here Is his brief account of
this adventure: 'In Damascus, the
governor, under Aretas the king, put
guards about the city of the Damascus,
thinking to arrest me, and through a
window, In a basket, was I let down
by the wall and escaped his bands.'
"We looked with Interest and rever
ence upon the ancient wall, which very
likely was standing In the apostle's
time, and at the window, from which
it Is possible, but by no means certain,
that he was lowered In a basket."

MARBLE STONES ABOVE PETS
Grieving Owners Erect Costly Monu

ter of London, England.
It may not be known to everybody
that In London there exists an exceed
ingly pretty cemetery devoted princi
pally to man's best friend the faithful
dog. Near the Victoria (lute, Hyde
Park West, stands the gatekeeper's
lodge, attached to which there Is a
fair-sized garden, the last resting place
of mnny a favorite pet.
Several years ago a favorite dog
("Poor Little Prince"), which belonged
to the duke of Cambridge, was run
over In the park, brought to the lodge
and afterward buried In the garden.
A marble stone shows the place where
he lies. After this many who had
heard of the event requested to have
their dogs laid to rest In the same
plot of ground, and thus It came about
that the permission of the duke and
the deputy runger was obtained to al
low the garden to become u cemetery
for dogs.
It has now been In existence many
years, and there are several hundred
graves, all beautifully kept. Some
people pay a certain amount per an
num to have the little graves properly
nttended to; some only pay when the
dog Is hurled; many call regularly.
The tombstones are pretty nearly all
of the same size and mostly of mar

DO SOMETHING WORTH WHILE
Much Benefit Will Come From Deter
mination to Make Each Day
Record of Accomplishment.
The one who starts out In the morn
ing with a determination to do some
thing during the day that will amount
to something, that will be distinctive,
that will have individuality, that will
give him satisfaction at night, is a
great deal more likely not to waste
his day in frivolous, unproductive work
than the one who starts out with no
plan.
Begin every day, therefore, with a
program and determine that, let what
will come, you will carry It out as
closely as possible. Follow' It up per
sistently, day after day, and you will
be surprised at the result.
Make up your mind at the very
outset of the day that you will accom
plish something that will amount to
something; that you will not allow
callers to fritter away your time, and
thnt you will not permit the little an
noyances of your business to spoil
your day's work. Make up your mind
that you will be lnrger than the trifles
which cripple and cramp mediocre
lives, and that you will rise above petty
annoyances and Interruptions and
carry out your plans In a large and
commanding way.
Make every day of your life count
for something; make it tell In the
grand results, not merely as an added
day, but as an added day with some
thing worthy achieved.
Difterences in UOatf u
The line of the Atlantic coast Is

little elevation. On the other hand,
the Pacific const line of Washington,

with numerous hurbors where ships
may seek safety In time of storm, very
different conditions exist on the Paci

shorts sold by the flouring mills as
mill run."
