The inhabitants of the Provence dis- trict in southern France claim that “great sinner’! of the Bible, was interred In Saint Maximin chapel a hundred miles from Toulon and Marseilles. Although the earthly remains of one of the first saints are declared to be contained within this chapel, it is not often visited by sightseers, the Detroit News states. A picturesque old woman conducts a small number | of strangers dally through the chapel. She leads them into a crypt where the skull of Mary Magdalene, lined with bands of gold, is supposed to be kept. The bones are dark, almost black. Yet the deep eyeholes and delicately curved jawbones still arouse an impression of beauty. In a golden shrine one sees a curl sald to | have been cut from the head of the | saint who, with her hair, dried the feet of the Savior. The hair is thick | and soft and has a gold-brown luster. To the question how the saint came | Into Provence the old guardian tells | that on account of the persecutions of Christians in Palestine Mary Mag- deline and her brother, Lazarus, left their native country. The ship on | which they traveled happened to be wrecked near Marseilles. No Other Way Out. A banker many of whose clients had | suffered from the deflation put great | reliance tn a certain tale as a clinch- ing argument to crippled firms. It was about a man who was telling his son a bedtime story about an alligator. It | was creeping up behind a turtle, with its mouth wide open. Finally it was | within reach, but just as its great jaws were snapping shut, the turtle made a spring, ran up a tree, and es- ecaped. “Why, father,” said the boy, | how could a turtle climb a tree?” “By gosh,” replied the father, “he | had to.” Proved Unworthy of Love. He was nine and I was six. He always escorted me to school, for he said I was his girl and he was going | to take care of me. One day we | stopped by the roadside to pick flow- | i | ers and happened to step on a bumble | bee's nest. The angry bees darted straight for me and I ran toward my | protector, erying, “Throw your coat | over my head quick!” My love for | him died when he angrily screamed back, “Get away from me, with your bees,” and ran off, leaving me to my fate.”—Chicago Journal.
