up about 300 years ago, and it has
formed a subject of controversy among
oriental scholars. The Samaritans be

son of Aaron, as the high priest here
claims; but the Jews reject It as false,
denouncing the Samaritans as pagan
outcasts from the children of IsreaL
Tke SHiasrltaKS of 1010.
I was surprised fo find, that there
were any Samaritans living. I supposed
that they had been "swallowed up by
the Mohammedans, and other Syrians
who have absorbed everything In Pala
tine excepting the Jews. I find, how
ever, that there are about 200 in Nab
lous, and that they practice the same
religion as they had when Christ came.
They annually celebrate the feasts of
the Passover and t Pentecost on Mount
Gerizim. These feasts are different
from those of the latter-day Jews. At
the time of Christ the Feast of the
Passover was eaten reclining and as
though at the end of a journey rather
than at the beginning.
The Samaritans eat their Passover
with their shoes bound upon their feet
and staves in their hands as though
ready to start out on their wanderings
In the wilderness. They do this on the
top of the mountain, camping in tents.
They smear the blood of the sacrifice
upon the tents to commemorate the
passage of the angel of death over the
houses of Israel. They dress in white
garments, and they kill the animals
-which are burnt according to the
methods which were in use when Aaron
lived. The sacrifice consists of buck
lambs, each of which is carefully ex
amined that it may be without wound
or blemish. At a given signal the
throats of the lambs are cut, and at
the same time some of the blood is
caught in a tin cup and smeared over
the tent. As the blood flows the people
shout out the words "There Is but one
God," and they shout -this sentence
again and t again. At the same" time

earth-washings from the mountains
nearby have filled up the valley, and
it Is now considerably blow the coun
try about. Within the past year ex
cavations have been made in the gar
den, and the remains of a church
which was built over the well some
1500 years ago have been discovered.
I found immense granite columns and
also many pieces of the stone walls
of the church. I persuaded the Greek
priest who lowered the pie pan with
the candle upon it into the well to
come into the sun. and be photographed.
The Unsatisfied American.
"While I was at the well a party of
travelers, conducted by one of the
great tourist agencies, arrived. They
were Americans, doing the Holy Land
at so much per day. and they were
bound to get the worth of their money.
One I shall never forget. His gigantic
frame was such that I shall call him
Goliath. When the party went down
to the well the services in the chapel
had just begun, and after pointing out
the hole in the floor" the guide brought
them out. As they came into the
churchj-ard I beard Goliath remark.
"I ain't satisfied."
"About what?" said the guide.
"I ain't satisfied about that, well.
How do I know there's a well there?"
"Tou saw it," said the guide.
"Naw, I saw only a hole in the floor.
How do I know there's a well? How
do I know it has water? I tell you I
ain't satisfied. Here I've come 5000
miles to see Jacob's well, and how can
I prove that I've saw It"
In short the man so protested that
the guide took him back, stopped the
service and had them let down the
hymn praising Abraham, Isaac and J candle. Further than that he brought
Jacob, and followed by a prayer of ,
thanksgiving.

from Jerusalem to Shechem. My out- j
1 fit was a three-horse team to which
an American dayton wagon was har
nessed. The horses were good, and
we drove up hill and down on the trot
We started at Jaffa gate, past the
place of the Skull, where Gen. Gordon
thought the Savior was crucified, and
then crossed the valley of Kedron. We
climbed Mount Scopus, which joins
Olivet, and rode under the hill on
' whose top was Mizpah, where Samuel
j was buried and Saul annointed king
' of the Jews. There is a mosque on
that spot and the place is holy to
Jews, Christians and Moslems, alike, all
, of whom worship at Samuel's tomb.
Mizpah lies on a peak about 3000 feet
above the Mediterranean, and on one. of
the highest of the Jndean mountains -I
It is where an army of crusaders stood
; under Richard the I-ion-Hearted and
1 got their first sight of Jerusalem. As ,
they looked king Kichard knelt down .
and thus played: j
"O Lord God, I prav Thee that T
never may again see Thy Holy City if j
I may not recover it from the hands
of Thy enemies." j
That prayer was uztered soven cen-
turies ago. Jerusalem was then owned j
by the Mohammedans, and it is held by
them still. - j
On the Road o Galilee.
The road which we. took to Samaria
svas the one over -which the boy Christ '
and the holy family came wh-jn the-y
traveled up to Jerusalem to celebrate
the Passover. It is one pf the high
ways of the Holy Land, and is still
traveled by thousands. About 10 mucs
beyond Mount Scopus we stoppel at
Beeroth, a stone village surrounded by
green orchards of figs and pomegran
ates. This is one day's journey from
Jerusalem, and tradition says it is
where Joseph and Mary, as they were
returning to Nazareth, discovered their
12 year old boy was not with them and
they went back and found Him teach- .
ing the -wise men in the temple. ;
A little farther on we came to
Bethel, where the Benjamites lived,
where Abraham reared an altar and
called on the name of the Lord, and
where Jacob took stones for his pil- ,
lows and dreamed that he saw the
ladder extending to heaven and the
angels ascending and descending there
on. The name Bethel, which means
the house of God, has now been
changed to Beitin. It is a poor stone
village of about 500 people, with a
ruined tower and a church.
Shiloh, which lies just off the road a
little farther on toward Samaria, is now
called Seilun, and, as Jeremiah prophe
sied, it is nothing but ruins. Where it
stood is a mound covered with debris,
broken columns and rubbish, so that
the prophecy, "I will make this city a
curse to all the nations of the earth,"
has come true.
Nevertheless Shiloh is one of the
most interesting spots of the country.
It was there Eli dwelt and ther6 Han
nah came every year with a new coat
for her little son Samuel, whom she
had given up to the Lord. It was
there that Joshua divided the land; and
there the Philistines stole the Ark of
the Covenant.
Travel In the Holy Land.
I am surprised at the caravans which
are continually crossing these Pales
tine mountains. There seems to be a
great trade north and south, and the
roads are full of strange characters.
On my way here I saw crowds of men
and women on donkeys coming up to
Jerusalem. Some were from Galilee,
others from Damascus and not a few
from the mountains of Lebanon. One
' crowd told us that its people were Mo
hammedans, and that they were mak
j ing a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the
tomb of Moses. There were many
women among them. They sat astride
upon donkeys, some carrying babes in
their arms.
We passed many camels. Some were
loaded with white 'building stones
slung in a network of rope on each
side their humps. They were taking
them to Jerusalem. Others were rid
den by women and men. I saw one
which had two veiled women clad all
in black on its back, with two boxes
below them, each box holding a baby.
Another party was composed of Sa
maritan women on their way to a Mos
lem festival. They were red-haired and
as straight as royal trees. They car
ried their baggage in bundles on top
of their heads and walked single file.
Behind them were women from Leban
on walking barefooted and singing in
Arabic. They were tattooed on lips,
chin and cheeks, and their heads were'
frowsy and dusty. They wore nothing
on the heacl and their bodies were clad
in long cotton gowns embroidered with
red. Only a few were good looking
and all seemed prematurely old.
In Oll Sliechcm.
I am now living in my tents outside
this old town of Sechem, my camp
facing Mount Ebal and above me Ger
izim, the holy hill of the Samaritans.
It is very near the spot where the laws
of Moses were read by Joshua to the
assembled children of Israel, the coun
try being the shape of a great amphi
theater of Thich the hills form tin
walls. These hills are, it" is said, a .
natural sounding board, so that one
can talk on one mountain and be heard i
on the other, and for this reason the j
place was chosen for reading the laws.
The town is one of the oldest in his
tory. It was founded long before Jeru
salem and before Jacob's time. It is
within about six miles of the city of
Samaria, where Ahab had his ivory
palace and where Herod the Great
owned a royal mansion and entertain
ed, so it Is said, his lords at his birth
day party, while his stepdaughter Sa
lome came in and danced. You remem
ber the story. Her dancing, which I
doubt not was that of the nautch girl.
so delighted king Herod that he told
her she should have whatever she ask
ed, even to the half of his kingdom.
She thereupon, as her mother suggest
ed, demanded the haad of John the
Baptist, who was lying in prison near
by, and this bloody gift was brought 1
in on a great plate or charger.
The old town of Samaria has long
since fallen to ruin. Its site is a
mound with some broken pillars and
other debris lying near it and an olive
oi chard not far away in which more
of the columns are still to be seen.
As to Schehem, or Xablous, it thrives
and is one of the liveliest towns in the
Holy Land. It is the chief commercial
center between Damascus and Jerusa- t
lem and Is populated almost altogeth
er by Mohammedans. There are some
Jewish merchants, but neither Jews
nor Christians are welcomed. I have
been told to watch out as I go through
the streets, and to take care not to
provoke anyone. Several times the
boys have thrown stones at our party,
and men spit as we pass them. People
yell out "Nazarenes" at us, and my
guide refuses to let me photograph J
them, saying it will surely get us in
trouble. The city is o fanatical that
even the Christian women go about
with veils over their faces. The Eng
lish nurse, who Is working here in the
Charity hospital, is veiled like a Mo
hammedan when she goes out on the
street. Otherwise she would create
comment, and her reputation and work
might be ruined.
Nablous has about 30,000 people, and
it is the center of a considerable trade.
It is made up of stone houses and stone
bazaars, roofed with galvanized iron.
Many of the houses are built over the
streets, and going through the town
is like going through catacombs. Some
of the streets are ,so narrow that you
can stand in the middle and reach both
walls with your hands. Others are
wide, but all arr- dirty and filthy.

GASTRITIS KILLS
VALUABLE CATS
If you have a valuable cat, It is in

cier gastritis is killing the cats and
even some dogs.
Says Miss Mabel E. Selwyn, show
manager of the Santa Barbara cat
show:
"There is raging all over the country
a terrible epidemic of that most fatal
of all diseases to cats gastritis. The
symptonfs are somewhat the same as
those of poison, and many persons may
have been misled by them. But cats
that have never been near a show
short-haired as well as long-haired,
also dogs are dropping off on all sides
from the disease after a few hours' ill
ness. "The only remedy for the disease, so
far as Jcnown, is buttermilk, which
does not always help, except where the
germ has not yet taken hold. I should
recommend everyone owning a cat,
even though it appears perfectly well,
to give it buttermilk, even forcing it
down the cat's throat, twice a day to
the extent of two or three liquid ounces
as it will, as a rule, make them im
mune from the disease.
"I have saved three of my own valua
ble cats by this means. I hope, for the
good of the cat fanciers, you will have
this letter published."

Goodwin Says He's Good
Man and That He's Not'
Yet in John Drew's
Class.
New Tork, X. Y., iDec. 31. Rumors
are afloat that Nat Goodwin, actcr, has
been sued for divorce by his fourth
wife, who was Edna Gqodrich the ac
tress. While these rumore .'re icnied, j
it is admitted that Nat and Mjss Good
rich are estranged. A d'vore action
may develop later on.
The Incident -which is said to have
led to the trouble between Goodwin and
his fourth wife isdeclared ro have oc
curred in Toronto, Canada, last Thanks
giving day. A friend of Miss Goodrich
tells the story as follows:
"Mr Goodwin had gone to Toronto
several days previous to the holid.ay to
avoid unpleasant interviews on the
subject of his connection with the mine i
promoting firm of which Graham Rice
was the active partner. He had seclud- j
ed himself to a certain extent and had
written letters to his -wife that indicat-
ed that he was bored to death, at ha -ing
to remain so long away from New
York.
Unexpected Call.
"Miss Goodrich sympathized with her
husband's frame of mind and decided to
give him a pleasant surprise. She pre
pared an old-fashioned Thanksgiving j
dinner and, accompanied by a maid, I
boarded a train that set her down in ,
Toronto on Thanksgiving day. She hadj
given no hint of her coming and arriv- j
ed at Mr. Goodwin's hotel unannounced, i
She went to the door of the actor's suite j
and knocked. t j
"What she discovered when the door j
was opened has not yet become Known
except to her most trstued friends. It Is J
all in the papers in the case wnicnare
in the hands of her attorney, Herman
L. Roth. Miss Goodrich returned to
New York next morning."
Nat Says He's Good.
"I am a good man. I am not a gam
bler, or a villian, or a gay Lothario. I
have written to my mother twice a
-week for the past 25 years. She is my
only sweetheart.
"No divorce suit has been started by
my wife. If there is any trouble, jt has
been made by a false friend."
Nat Goodwin made these statements
todayv when asked to comment on the
story that Edna Goodrich is suing him
for divorce and that he recently gave a
"fourth service dinner" to a dozen of
his friends in joy over the institution
of the suit. The actor had just return
ed from Boston, where he spent Christ
mas with his mother.
"So far as I know," he declared,
"there is no separation. Certainly the
story that a divorce suit has been be
gun is unfounded. If I were the bad
man I have been painted she would not
think as much of me as she does. She
has always stood by me and trusts in
me implicitly.
Friend Casues Trouble.
"I repeat that any trouble between
us has been caused by a false friend.
He has been running back and forth
telling untrue stories to Mrs. Goodwin.
ThiSi person has been a pensioner of
mine fdr many years.
"I wish the public were as loyal as
the dramatic profession- Tnen x would
nr't have to worry about these stories.
I havp had three failures in my life
John Srew had twelve."
Edna Goodrich is in a sanitarium
near the city, resting. Her attorney,
Herman L. Roth, also denied at his of
fice that any divorce action had been
begun, but admitted that the couple are
estranged.
"This action may engender further
