Gehenna Place of Horror
The word Gehenna In translated
j "hell" tn the Bible. Gehenna, strictly
I speaking, was the valley of Hlnnom,
u deep narrow glen south of Jerusalem,
where, after Ahaz Introduced the wor-
ship of fire gods, the Sun, Baal and
Moloch, the Jews, under Manasseli,
made their children pass through the
tire nnd offered them as burnt offer-
ings. "So Joslah defiled the valley
making It a receptable of carcasses and
criminals' corpses, In which worms
were continually gendering." A per-
petual Are was kept burning to con-
sume this putrefying matter; hence
It became the Image of that awful
place where all that are unfit for the
holy city are supposed to be cast out.

Early New Englandere
Fond of Their Beans
In the absence of positive Informa-

Boston baked bean* and their place on
New England breakfast menus thla
conjecture Is ottered! In the early
days of the Plymouth colony people
did their baking In brick ovens. These
ovens were heated on Saturday and
enough baking for the week was done
at that time. As ths oven cooled off
the tempera try# was Just right for
beans, which need long, slow cooking,
so they were thus ready to be eaten
on Saturday night and were probably
put back Into the oven to keep hot and
these were eaten for breakfast on Sun-
day morning. Many New England peo-
ple reheat tbem and eat them for
breakfast each morning until they are
gone, and some peoplf who bake them
on Wednesday continue to serve them
for breakflaat until the Saturday beans
are baked. In northern New England
beans have been baked from time Im-
memorial in a hole In the ground, the
hole having |f«t been
stones and the stones made very hot
with a fire built In the hole. In lum-

The M. H. S. Foot Ball Team
Th« Mesquite foot hall team
is going to Set 'ts head above
water after having been partially
submerged for something like
three years. The team and school
made a gallant effort last Fri-
day evening only to be defeated,
but we thing that they will grad*
ually learn to win for they have
what it takes, pep, school spirit
and tlie will' to learn.
If the critic wilt remember
that memberh of the team had
never seen a game played to say
nothing of having been in a
game played, and that part of
the team wanted just before the
game what the posts at tht end
of the field were for, he will ap-
plaud us instead of finding fault.
He will come back to the game
to be played Friday, the third of
October, and pay the small
'uoissuupe joj paJSiEtp Uinoun:
instead of saying he is going to
leave us as soonn a$ he sees the
lineup.
A winning team does not es-
pecially need the support of out-
siders but a losing tema needs
support to win, a friend in need
is a friend in deed, a winning
team can always find 'friends.
Show you are a friend of the
team your school puts out and
it will, we are sure, bring you
some victories in the end.

jfajor's Man Knew How
to Deal With Scorpion
The major acquired a body servant
named Oarvlno while we were soak-
ing up malaria lp the hills back of
Santiago. One day the major was
sttung by a large scorpion—stung
through his leather legging 'at that.
Major Latimer was probably one of
the world's greatest technicians In the
art of profanity. He tore loose with
his entire vocabulary when the virus
of the scorpion made Itself felt. Then
he concluded he was going to die, aa
many other scorpion stlngees had.
Oarvlno dug around till he found
another scorpion. He broke the crit-
ter In two, tore off the major's legging,
rolled up his pants and drawers and
applied the raw end of half the brok-
en scorpion to the spot on the ma-
jor's leg where the sting had entered,
writes Leo P. Oook In Adventure Mag-
aslne. The pain ceased immediately
and the major felt no further discom-
fort. Thereafter we knew how to
treat a scorpion sting. This may be
old stuff.
Another little trick of Oarvlno waa
to catch a scorpion, hold It by the
head from beneath with thumb and
finger, and with his other hand tear
out the muscle that actuated the scor-
pion's sting. Vou know the scorpion
must flip his tall up over hla head to
strike. After Oarvlno had performed
this operation the scorpion waa help-
les| to sting, though his locomoUon
interfered with.
