CHEAP CASE
Some things first happen 'way
back yonder, amt we feel that we
have now discovered the first case
of appendicitis ever tuking place
in this world. It is a long story
—but ono of interest. It is not
ours—the story isn’t—but the
discovery is—even if we had to go
to ancient Rome to got it. Roi-
lin's Ancient History furnishes
tho facts which we hero relate,
while the conclusion is ours. Of
course there is no use to dwell
long on the obaraoter of Anti-
oohus Epiphanes whose name
standi highest on the rolls of im
piety and crime. Having biseiged
the oity of Jerusalem, he took it
by atorm, and daring the .three
days it was abandoned to the fury
of the soldiers, hi caused from
sixty to eighty thousand men to
be inhumanly butchered; ho exer-
oised every ipecies of cruelty upon
the citizens and unmercifully put
to death all those who fell into his
hands and whom he considered
his enemies. He despatched
Appollonius at the head of 22,000
men with orders to plunder all
the cities of Judea, to murder
the men, am
_
in a most inhuman manner, in
order to compel them to ewallotr
swine’s flesh which their law for
bade, and when they refuted ^
was so exasperated that he ordered
pans and cauldrons to be heated
and when they were red with
heat caused the tongue of the eld
est to ho cut off—had tho skin
torn from his head and the ex
tremities of his hands and feet
out off—all thisliefere hisA%*tcer
and brother*. Afterbeing Thus
mutilated he was brought close 1
the fire and fried in the pan. Tit'
second brother was then taker
and after the hair of his head wit Ii
his skin was tom away lie was
likewise tortued as wore the re
maining brothers—except t he Inst,
tlie youngest who was more griev
ously handled than tee rest. Then
the mother was put to death
Hearing sometime afterwards
that- the Jews had revolted, lie as-
sembled as his troops which
formed a mighty army and de
termined to destroy the whole
Jewish nation, and settle ''other
people in the country. He com
manded Lysias, one of his gene
rals to extirpate them root and
branch—not to leave a single H(|
brew in the whole country. When 9
in Persia advices were brought to™
him of the defeat of Lysias—he
was told that the Jews had retaken
the temple—thrown down the nl-
tari and idols which he had set up,
and re-established their ancient
worship. At this news his fiyj^ so f ar f rom the teachings of our

crec that all nations within his
dominions should forsake their
old religion and gods, and worship
those of the king, under the most
severe penalties. Ho dedicated
the temple at Jerusalem to Jupi

statu* on the altar of burnt offer

and worship this idol wore either

its inhi
tants gave (fvdera to proceed
still greater celerity in his j
uey. But* as his horses were run
ning forward impetuously he fell
from his chariot and bruised every
part of his body in so dreadful a
manner that he suffered inexpres
sible torments and soon finished
an impious life by a most misera
ble and inglorious death.
So it will be seen that append!
citis is not a disease—but a pun
ishment brought upon people fo r
something or other. The Jewish
nation and file whole nation owe
it to themselves to rejoioe ove.JSio
fact that the dootors of that day
were not dealing in “euccessful
operations”—for, had it been so,
the vermiform appendix of Anti-
oolins Epiphanes would perhaps
have been removed, placed on the
front of his chariot, still gory;
and he would have proceeded to
wipe from the world the most
wonderful and successful raco of
poople that ever placed their feet
on God’s groin foot-stool. It was
a close call—and some one is to
be congratulated. Thoy owe their
perpetuity to tardy Soienos.—

Dear friends and readers of
these sets of society, I would ask
you to atop and think: Is it
right to debar any nice young
man or woman from your midst
because of his or her family? I
trust I shnll not bo considered
bold when I ask this question.
Is there a family in Athens that,
if their premices were thoroughly
searched, or their ancestry ex
amined closely, would not be made
to blush because something ob
jectionable had been discovered
and brought to light? Well may
you think! Remember that we
oil more or less “live in glass
houses," and we must not throw
stones. Before you say he or she
if of common origin, look back
over your family history and see
if there is not n skeleton or black
sheep somewhere hidden. Treat
every boy and girl as they per
sonally deserve and merit. Keep
a dose watch over your own heart,
“aot woll your part, there all the
honorliea.” Have apurposo, and
that purpose keep ever in view.
'Half the wrecks that strew life's
' H oo*au,
If seme star had been their guide,
Would have surely anchored safely
Bnt they drifted with the tide.”
