Deatils of Holy
City’s Capture
Details of the capture and entry
into Jerusalem are told in a Reu
ter dispatch from British head
quarters in Palestine. It is said
that the final Turkish attack was
preceded by such a terrific shell
ing that it appeared the enemy
was confident the British would
be blown off the summit of Nebi
Samuel, northwest of the Holy
City, but all attacks were repulsed
sanguinarily.
A good supply of Turkish guns
dominated the crests over which
the British had to advance. On
the night of December 7, the Brit
ish moved up under cover of dark
ness, diyided into two sections,
one advancing eastward toward
Jerusalem. The other ascended
the Hebron ro id, threatening the
town from the south.
' The Turkish positions were
charged the afternoon of the Bth,
and the enemy was driven out at
the point of the bayonet, with
heavy losses.
Throughout the whole fighting
around Jerusalem the Turks show
ed a more desperate spirit and a
greater tenacity than in almost
any previous fighting.
On the morning of the 9th the
city’s officials came out with a flag
of truce and surrendered.
Big demonstrations of joy broke
out when the general advanced to
take the surrender of the citv.
Flowers were showered on the
troops and the populace applaud
ed to testify to the joy of deliver
ance from the hands of the op
pressors.
In their clearing-up operations
the British took nearly a thousand
Turks prisoner, besides 700 in the
hospitals of Jerusalem.

1 am Ibe son of a foreign man
and woman, and they came over
here so they could get to see each

—that is sure. And by and by as
the woman and the man have seen
each other, and seeing each other
have loved each other, and loving
each other have married each oth

You can fail in love in any lan
guage, thank the Lord! And you
can marry in any language, thank
the Lord! And this is the thing
that I have remebered about it,
never having known my mother,
waiting now and waiting yet, and
waiting for some dreamy, shadow
face to come —waiting for my
mother’s face —my father having
long since slipped into .the land of
morning to clasp my mother by
the hand and walk the shining
ways called the ways of the provi
dence of God. Yet this 1 khow,
that my mother and my fattier met
and married and were beautifully

I knew her kiss, left no library to
me —no other books but only
these: “The Saints’ Everlasting
Rest” and the bible. # Ome! There
are ancestors of great repute for
some. As Tennyson has said,
there be those “sprung from the
midriff of an hundred kings,” but

Beginning to Appreciate Chestnut.
It is said that England is gradually
learning to appreciate the nutritious
value of the chestnut, where it is
chiefly used for stuffing and in the
prej aration of vegetarian dishes. In
a large quantity the chestnut does
not make a cheap vegetable, but in
flesh-forming ingredients they excel all
other vegetables. The Italians use
the chestnut to give the flavor and
strength to a variety of dishes.
