mand the people shouted and the
priests blew with the trumpets and It
came to pass when the people heard
the sound of the trumpet that the peo
ple shouted with a great shout and
the wall fell down flat so that the peo
ple went up Into the city every man
straight before him and they took the
city destroying all that was In it ex
cept Itahab the harlot who had
den the messengers sent by Joshua to
spy out the city and her fathers
household The date of this destruction
Is placed nt B C 1451 In spite of
Joshuas curse on any one who should
rebuild the city it was rebuilt In the
reign of Ahab in B C 118 by Hlel a
native of Bethel nnd It is recorded In

A Display of Quick Wit by the Come

The Emperor Nicholas of Russia
was once sold as follows
During an interview which Martineff j

ed in obtaining with Prince Volkhon
sky high steward the emperor walked
into the room unexpectedly yet with
a design as was soon iuaue evident
Telling the actor that he had heard
of his talents and should like to see
a specimen of them he bade him
mimic the old minister The feat was
performed with so much gusto that
the emperor laughed immoderately and
then to the great horror of the poor
actor desired to have himself taken
off
Tis physically impossible plead
ed Murtiueii
Nouense said Nicholas I insist
on its being done
Finding himself on the horns of a
dilemma the mimic took heart of
grace and with a promptitude and
presence of mind that probably saved
him buttoned his coat over his breast
expanded his chest threw up his head
and assuming the imperial part to the
best of his power strode across the
room and back then standing opposite
the minister he ciied in the exact
tone and manner of the czar

Stories of John Bright
John Bright was supposed to be a
total abstainer but once when Ed
ward Miall was very nervous at the
prospect of having to make an impor
tant speech in the house Bright said
Well Miall if I were you Id for
once go and have a pint of cham
pagne
Mr Miall did as he was told and the
result may be judged from the narra
tors comment that champagne on
an unaccustomed interior is not al
ways a curative or a tonic
Bright rarely had any difference
with his wife but occasionally they
were not at oue about the children
When they came to a point of abso
lute disagreement he used to say
Now I tell thee if thou doesnt do
what I wish 111 go straight to Mr
Gladstone and ask him to make me a
knight to which the answer invari
ably was
Oh anything rather than that

Notes of Sundays Storm
The porches on the east two dwelling
houses owned by Edward Fitzgerald on
west D street were blown down bnt the
fronts of the buildings were not other
wise damaged much
Eight large glass windows in the new
high school building were broken by the
had as were a few panes in the Chris
tian church and a scattering few in re
sidences over the city but the damage
of this description was small
Fruit and garden in the path of the
hail suffered considerably and the
strong wind pressure proved too strong
for trees all over the city while the hail
cut the foliage severely
Andrew Strawder and Henry Calkins
who live a short distance northwest of
town report severe damage by hail
Sunday theircrops being badly damag
ed Besides Mr Calkins states that his
granary and chicken house were blown
down by the wind storm
The rainfall in a few minutes amount
ed to 145 inches to which 57 of an
inch was added later in the night and
early Monday morning making the total
rainfall a little over two inches The
rain did not extend farther west how
ever than Perry
The approaches to the bridge over tho
canyon northeast of town were washf d
away showing that the water in the
canyon must have reached a height of
sure 15 feet and that a powerful current ran
in the canyon during the early stages of
the flood
Both the grain elevators had more or
less water in their grain pits from Sun
day evenings rain
The territory surrounding the lower
reach of the Driftwood creek seemed to
have sustained the worst damage from
hail Sunday C II Jacobs reports
a damage of several hundred dollars
while his neighbor S B Rankin thinks
a thousand dollars will not more than
cover his I03S I H Wasson Charlie
Evans and others in that section were
sufferers in a greater or less degree
Two of George Hartraans little girls
were caught in the storm on their way
home to South McCook and were pretty
badly pummeled by the hail but not
seriously hurt
