St. Louis Palladium

ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM A. Joseph Folk and the Federal Grand jury have unearthed enough to show that Hon. George W. Parker was duly elected mayor of St. Louis, from the amount of fraud that was in the election of mayor. We wonder if the Ghost of the Counted-Out Republicans don't haint Folk and his cohorts.

Quite a number spoke and gave thanks to the Lord for the blessings which He has bestowed upon them. The First Baptist church will give one of the greatest fairs and entertainments during the Christmas week. The president, Capt. W. H. Butler, wants everybody to save their money and buy their Christmas goods from our fair, as we will have everything that the market can afford. Everybody is cordially invited. The Pleasant Workers' club will give another entertainment in the form of an old-fashion candy pulling on the 9th inst., for the benefit of the First Baptist church. This will be a grand affair, and if anyone wants to have a good time, and lots of fun, come and join us, and we will treat you white. Don't forget the date, night of November 9. Madame M. A.

The church was crowded from pulpit to the door, awaiting the coming of the bride and groom. On arriving, Mr. J. A. Freeman began playing the usual wedding march upon the organ, which gave the signal, hence everyone's eyes were centered on the door. The sister and brother-in-law of the bride, together with the contracting parties, marched up to the altar, where hev. E. C. Cole and a company of white friends were in waiting to greet them. Rev. Cole lost no time in tying the knot, which soon made them husband and wife. They left immediately for Union station, where they took a train for the east. They will return about November 15, and will reside at 1610 Gay street. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES. Rev. Lewis Lanes preached Sunday morning, and in the evening Rev. Ratcliff entertained the congregation.

GOD'S POWER Vast and tremendous, God doth seem Thy power. When all Thy marvelous works I see Myself seems swallowed in immensity. From mortal thought aloft one little hour I watch thy wonderful world a mighty shower. Of stars whirl by earth in security, Treasure the magnificent pathway set by Thee. Huge by her jupiter and neptune tower, I glory when I see thy love to man And swell my song of praise unto Thy throne Mode in Thine image, heir to worlds untold. The consummation of Thy holy plan What joy is his infinity alone Shall see the glory of his faith untold. MRS. JAMES COLEMAN, Cardinal Aye. A. LO. 31. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1903. CENTRAL BAPTIST. Last Sunday Rev. George Stevens was duly installed as minister of Central Baptist church. The sermon was very impressive, and all seemed to realize the solemnity of the occasion. The sermon, by Rev. E. C. Cole, was fitting and well delivered. Rev. George Stevens preached the evening sermon. The subject was: "The Relation of Pastor to a Congregation, and Duties of Each." Rev. S. P. Anderson, a former pastor of Central, whose father was its founder and first pastor, read the scriptural lesson. Rev. Antoine Yancey, of Third Baptist church, delivered the invocation and Rev. E. Calvin Cole, of First Baptist church, preached the installation sermon and delivered the charge to the pastor. At three o'clock the formal installation was conducted by Rev. R. H.

NEWSOME, Gen. Sec. We wish to present Mr. Jeff. Smith, who conducts a saloon on 1201 Morgan street, and another on the southeast corner of Twelfth and Wash. He is one of the most remarkable characters that we have come across. He conducted a saloon at the same number for Mr. Barney Belker, who now keeps a grocery opposite his place. Mr. Belker, during bad health, placed implicit confidence in Mr. Smith, and when he went out of business he offered Mr. Smith certain considerations. Mr. Smith's financial condition did not permit him to accept the offer, but Mr. Belker trusted the saloon to Mr. Smith. In three years Mr. Smith managed not only to return the debt, but also to open another saloon. All who are acquainted with Mr. Smith speak well of his integrity and thrift. Not only that, but everyone who has been in his employ, speak of Mr. Smith's kind and just attitude toward him. Mr. Smith first began advertising in The Palladium over two years ago, and of all its subscribers he was the first to pay in advance. Of course he knows The Palladium knows no such word as fail. Mr. Smith has been in poor health for the past few months, but is up again, and his friends hope for his ultimate success. He has several brothers; one is with him in business. Mr. Smith lives at 1322 Gay street. Mr. Smith lives at 1333 Gay street. Mr. Jeff Smith. a i rh | : .

Elijah the Restorer is credited with having $7,000,000. This ought to rec- oncile any man to a few failures, President Diaz has fortified to some extent against race suicide by inviting 2,000 Mormons to settle in Mexico. Aslump in the whisky market is also inevitable. A Pennsylvania man who avank five quarts every day has just died. If Lon Dillon and Major Delmar don't beiieve that the Wichita track is a full mile, let them go there and beat Cresceus’ time. It is a peculiarity of Carrie Nation that you never hear of her twice in the same place. Railroad travel must have a fascination for her. Chicago is already discussing a proper celebration for the next Fourth yf July—by putting in jail all persons qho sell or explode torpedo canes. Inspired by Dowie’s example, Car- rie Nation may conchide to exchange hher hatchet for a sickle and announce herself as the reincarnation of Ruth the gleaner. ‘The mania for marriage among our United States senators seems to be be- coming infectious, Old Santa Claus Stewart, of Nevada, having just fol- lowed in the footsteps of Senators Platt and Depew, of New York. ‘A fool woman at Washington, Pa., wants to marry a murderer who is in jail waiting trial in order that she may reform him. To be tied up for life with a woman who has no more sense than that would be nearly as bad as being hanged. Departmental estimates calling for ‘ever $100,000,000 for the navy, over $150,000,000 for the interior department and nearly $80,000,000 for the army show that we are getting to be even a bigger country than some of us in ovr carelessness realized. New York courts show a decided tendency to require husbands, who marry school-teachers, to support them. The idea is a good one. In courting days men show extraordinary zeal in suppozting their sweethearts ‘The good work should continue after ‘tha wkidbae: The acquired accomplishment of a Jersey City monkey that can pitch 2 ball and sometimes “knock a fly” with a broomstick opens a great field on the possibilities of a baseball game by ‘two nines of chimpanzees. The chim- panzee is the most intelligent of the monkey family, and has been trained ‘in some instances to eat with fork and spoon. If this Jersey City monkey car sometimes “knock a fly” that is all many players on the field can do Sometimes they can’t knock one. One of the states of the union has de- cided that its legislature shall meet ‘only once in four years, and that even then its proceedings shall be strictly restrained to extremely short sessions In various parts of the republic the sentiment against annual meetings ot the Solons of the capitols and against prolonged deliberations and discussions ‘when the sages do assemble is evident- ly gaining ground. ‘The belief that ear- Hier generations have been legislated for to excess and that there has been too much talking in state houses is steadily making headway. ‘The decision of the United States su- preme court puts canals in states under the maritime jurisdiction of the United States, The decision grew out of re- pairs to a canal boat on the Erie canal, the owner holding that a law of New York state in regard to the matter could not apply because the federal government had jurisdiction of the eanal, As the canal is wholly in New York this decision has caused a good deal of surprise. It will apply to all canals in the country, no matter where constructed or by whom owned. Bishop Galloway, of the M. EB. ehurch, south, in a recent address at Kansas City, said: “I was born in Mis- sissippl and I know more about the ne- gro problem than some do who discuss it in an academic way.

London, Noy. 5.—Such comment as the afternoon newspapers on the re- sult of Tuesday's election in New York city, expresses it as Tammany’s vic- tory. ‘The Pall Mall Gazette says tt gives the world a lesson that “purity is not inherent in the democratic form of government.” ‘The St. James Gazette bitterly as- sails Tammany, saying the result “is one which every honest person must deeply lament, and proves how power- less is true opinion to make tts weight felt under a republican system when it is confronted by the machinery of an unscrupulous organization.” FOR IMPROVING CANALS. New York State Gave an OverwheIm- ing Majority In Favor of ‘Guaak tuoeetanantl New York, Nov. 5.—New York state gave a majority of nearly 250,000 in favor of the proposition that the state shall spend $101,000,000 for improving its canals. ‘The plan is to widen and deepen the Erie canal so that it will accommodate barges of 1,000 tons carrying capacity, and to improve the Oswego and Cham- plain canals. Under the law, the state wil be al- lowed to issue not more than $10,000,- 000 of canal bonds at any time, and the first issue must cover the work for two years, The bonds are to ran for not more than 18 years. The advocates of the proposition de- clared that canal improvement was necessary for the rehabilitation of the commercial supremacy of state. Un- less the state canals are widened and deepened, they asserted it would be but a short time before the railroads would be able to make such transpor- tation rates as they might see fit, and that New York city might be discrim- inated against. WILL BE A CONVENIENCE. A Place At the World's Fatr Where Visitors May Deposit Thelr Val- aabine and Bones: World’s Fair Grounds, St. Louis, Noy. 5.—The division of concessions has announced the letting of an inter- esting concession—the Safety Deposit Vault concession. ‘The concessionaries contract to erect a fireproof building containing about 2,000 safety deposit boxes. Here vis- itors may leave their valuables and such money as they do not need for the moment. They will thus be enabled to bring with them to the exposition, without danger of loss or theft, a suf- ficient amount of money for their pur- poses, They need carry only enough for immediate use, returnmg to the safety deposit boxes to replenish their exchequer. The location for the safety deposit house has not yet been as- signed. It has been suggested, how- ‘ever, that it be located at the northern ‘end of the Model street. This location would be easily accessible by intra- mural, and would be close to the main picture and to the Pike. Laborers Lald Off. Welch, W. Va., Nov. 5.—The United States Steel Corporation, operating near here, to-day laid off indetnitely 2.000 laborers. The Best Missouri News ee dt George B. Ellis, secretary of the Mis- souri state board of agriculture, made the startling announcement that near- ly $5,000,000 worth of corn fodder 1s wasted in Missouri annually. The same is the case in the other corn states, and when all are taken together ‘a figure is reached that is staggering. ‘The statement of Secretary Ellis is all the more significant just now because this is a critical period in the history of Missouri as a corn state. The fact is, she is crowding Illinois so closely for first place that the indications are that Missouri will coon lead the world in the production of corn. Last year, xecording to the state estimates, Mis- souri beat Illinois on the prodzction of corn per acre, Missouri produced 39 bushels to the acre and Illinois 38.7. Only the greater acreage of the latter saved: her from losing first place as the leading corn state. As to the losses on corn fodder, Secretary Blix said: “According to late estimates, only one- fourth the corn fodder in the state is saved. This means an annual loss of something like $5,000,000. _At_ least three-fourths of the corn fodder is left standing in the field. Here it is allowed to go to waste except in cases where farmers turn their stock on it for a few days after the corn has all been gathered. There is. of course, some benefit derived from this, but 80 little that the losses from the tram- pling of the soil are perhaps greater than the gain. The corn fodder should by all means be gathered and used for winter feeding. It should be siloed. shredded and fed with hay, or similar material. Experiments covering three years were conducted here to deter- mine the comparative feeding value of corn fodder and timothy hay—the former being whole, shredded and si- loed. No grain whatever was used. ‘The experiments were conducted with 8 good grade of shorthorn and Here- ford steers, weighing about 900 pounds. ‘The results showed beyond a doubt that big profits may be realized from preserving corn fodder for winter feed- ing, and that it is simply a criminai waste to allow it to stand in the field.

Whe State Vitally Interested. During the financial scare at St. Louls last week, when people became sus- picious of the solidity of trust com- ‘panies and sought to withdraw thelr dopostts, State Treasurer | Williams hastened to St. Louis to inquire into the condition of the trust companies ‘there, in one of which the state has ‘on deposit nearly $1,000,000, It is am- ply secured, however, and cannot be lost. Secretary of State Sam B. Cook, ‘who has charge of the inspection of banks and trust companies, was asked ‘as to the condition of the concerns af- fected, as shown by the recently pub- ished official fmancial statements. Mr. Cook said: “The bank inspection de- | partment recently made an examina- tion of all the trust companies in St. Louis, ‘They are in excellent condi- tion and are abundantly able to meet every comand miade upon them. In fact, all the banking interests of Mis- gouzi are enjoying unprecedented pros- perity, These precipitous runs may eaz-@ temzorary annoyance, but they cannot in the least affect the standing fa these companies.” PENNS SNreriremy seer ‘The committee appointed by the live stock commission of the Missouri world’s fair board to work up an inter- est in the Berkshire exhibit at the ex- position of 1904 have commenced an active house-to-house canvass with the Berkshire breeders of the state for an exhibit that will be most creditable to all concerned.

Americans and Englishmen Usually Are Unrestrained in the Expression of Merriment. High mentality is shown in a laugh. There are savages in Africa who never laugh; they grin, that is all; and this lack of the quality of laughter is a symptom of their low mentality. The Chinaman has no hearty bursts of laughter. He titters cynically—titters over the misfortune of an enemy or the elopement of a daughter of a friend. He cannot give utterance to a hearty laugh. When he is delighted, or amused, or happy, he just looks calm, with a sickly smile on his sallow face. The Frenchman has a reserved laugh, one which he holds well in hand. Being a great sticker for dignity he is afraid that a loud and honest laugh would injure his deportment, would demean him in the eyes of his acquaintances. You will not hear much laughter in Paris, though it is true that the wooden have a cultivated, musical "ha-ha-ha" that they use in cafes when they wish to attract somebody's attention. The German's laugh is deep and prolonged. It comes from far down somewhere in his stomach. The laugh of the Irishman is hearty and resonant, and tickles him from his eyes to his waist. The Americans and the English are quick to see the point of a witticism, and most of them laugh unrestrainedly. Their mirth is so natural and heartily and musically expressed that you cannot but rejoice on hearing it. When a funny incident is told in the presence of a Scotchman, for a few seconds the point passes unnoticed; but at last it dawns upon him, and then his manifestation of appreciation is expressed by subdued merriment, which, nevertheless, is deeply earnest. N. Y. Weekly. Ludella's Spool School Bu JESSIE MACMILLAN ANDERSON. LITTLE LUDELLA SMITH was a dressmaker's little girl. You will think she was very lucky when I tell you that not only her mamma, but her Aunt Jane and her sister Lily May, were dressmakers. How much fun she must have had dolls' dresses out of all those pieces! Ah, but now comes the sad thing; she hadn't any dolls. From Monday morning to Saturday night, especially Saturday night, mamma and Aunt Jane and Sister Lill just sewed and sewed to get things done. And it didn't do a bit of good getting one thing done, for there were always two or three other things that ought to have been done long ago. So mamma would cry, and then Aunt Jane would say, "There is no use spoiling your eyes, Sarah." Mamma always sent back the "pieces"; but the rule was, "Anything smaller LUDELLA AT WORK. ("She Placed Laura Penelope at One End of a Row of Spools.") than your hand, Dell!" And Ludella did wish her hand would grow faster. Yet there were mountains of tiny bits, and one big boxful Ludella had stored away under her bed—silk and satin, velvet and Bedford cord, ladies'-cloth and cheviot and camel's-hair, gingham and percale and satine, chiffon and ribbon and lace. Under the bed was another box devoted to empty spools. Every winter afternoon, when she came home from school, Ludella would say as she opened the door, "Any more spools? Any more pieces?" Then out would come those two boxes, and dressmaker Number Four would set to work or seriously as the others. Did I say Ludella had no dolls? What is it she keeps in box Number Two? Brave Youngsters Went Up in a Free Balloon and Enjoyed the Midair Journey. Two children have just made a successful balloon ascent in England, the occasion being a military fete at the Alexandra palace. The occupants of the car were Mons. Auguste Gaudron, his little daughter Ena, aged nine, and Master Dudley Barton, aged 13, the son of Dr. Barton, who is building the great airship at the palace at the present time. The balloon started in a southerly direction and remained in view for about 20 minutes, when it entered the clouds. Nothing more was heard of the balloon until the occupants reached home at about two o'clock the next morning, after having had a most enjoyable and interesting trip, during the course of which they crossed and recrossed the Thames on no less than five occasions. The highest altitude attained was AN INTERESTING TRIP. 5,000 feet, at which height the reflection of the sun on the masses of white clouds below was quite dazzling. At one time it was feared they would have to descend into the Thames, as the wind had dropped almost to a dead calm and the balloon hung almost continuously for an hour over the river. At eight o'clock, however, a little puff of wind took them over a marshy spot two miles on the other side of Greenhithe, and Mons. Gaudron took immediate advantage of this and opened the valve, when the party made a safe, though somewhat rapid, descent. These are probably the youngest aeronauts who have ever made a journey together in a free balloon. Rest After Nine O'Clock. All piano playing in Fort Scott, Kan. must cease at nine o'clock p. m. The first woman who violated the ordinance was fined $15 and costs. Big spools, little spools! Fat spools thin spools! Spools all waist! and spools with no waist at all! All decked out in more colors than the rainbow! Their dresses are mostly skirt, but all the easier to fit. And what a variety of skirts! Some hanging down very full and limp, in gathers; some stiff in plaited kilt; some standing straight out, just like a morning-glory upside down; bell skirts with full train, and bell skirts with demi-train; skirts with ruffle round the bottom, and skirts with panel down the side. "Here," said Ludella gravely—one day I listened, while her sister was trying on my new gown—"here, children didn't you hear the bell? School's begged! Order! I have the pleasure of intro-ducing to you a new pupil—Laura Penelone Martindale." Here she pulled up a jolly little twist-spool, with a flaunting little skirt skirt of the upside-down morning-glory shape, and a wide blue ribbon which was both sash and necktie. She placed Laura Penelope at one end of a row of spools, saying: "You'll have to begin at the foot of the class; ; but if you study hard and improve you'll soon be at the head." Then, in a squeaky voice, she made Penelope say: "Don't you have any boys in this school?" And she answered: "No; horrid, rough things! We don't allow 'em." Then began the spelling lesson. "Grace Martha, spell needle." "N-e ne, d-e-l, del, nedel." "Wrong. Next." "N-e-a nea, d-l-e, neadle." "Next" sternly Next, see, she "N-e ne, d-l-e, dle, needle." And so on, down the whole class, till she came to the new pupil. "N-double-e næe, d-l-e dle, needle." "That's right, Laura Penelope. You may go to the head. You've studied your lesson." "Penelope's just come. I don't see when she studied it," I said to tease the child. "She probably paid attention to what the teacher said in the last school she was in," she answered, severely; and I fancied the other spools looked a little ashamed. I was sorry I could not stay to hear the geography class recite; but my dress was fitted and I had to go. I offered to save up my spools for Ludella;; but she said she would rather have me save up girls' names;; she had some trouble in finding enough to go round; and she didn't wish to have two or three by the same name, as they had in common schools.

We wish to state to all of our subscribers and advertisers that their names are entered upon our books as Mr. Mrs. and Miss and Hon. If the title is left off sometime in sending the paper out it is not intentional, and it is an oversight of the one who writes the wrappers, and we hope no offense will be taken. The aim of the manager of The Palladium is to do right by all. We even call the Old Black Man Mr. J. D. Miller, or the manager of The Eagle Bird. J. W. WHEELER. LOOK AND READ.

These experienced gentlemen now have a study at 2605 Lawton avenue, and the collection of their drawings has excited the most skeptical mind which proves their wonderful genius. It would be well for any person to call at their studio that they may be convinced that they are truly two great artists, and their work will commend them to the lovers of oil paintings and art in every particular. Of course, most persons have their doubts as to the genuine work by them, but if you will visit their studio you can see them with brush in hand at work on some of the most difficult pictures. You will then be convinced for their profession. They invite you to call and see for yourself at 2605 Lawton avenue. The whereabouts of one George Henry Johnson, who lived in Concordia parish, La.

Upon a careful examination of the action then taken, Assistant Secretary of the Interior Webster Davis has is- sued the following Order relating to apneals pending before the Depart- ment in such cases: “Department of the Interior. “Washington, Feb. 26, 1898. ‘Order: “{t 1g directed that the pending ap- peals from the action of reducing or terminating of pensions granted un- der the second section of Act of June 27, 1890, in accordance with the de- cisions rendered May 27, 1893, in ‘the case of Charles T. Bennett (7 P.

Observer, «CUP-OFFERINGS.”” Little Hetpfutneoses Are “Three: Fourths of All That Makes It Se cenat eee male” Nothing is said in the gracious text about giving a cup of cold water, con- cerning the cup itself, It is notessential that it be of gold or silver. It is the water that refreshes, not the cup. And why but acup? No one needs a bucket- ful at atime. Better have it fresh and sparkling as thirst returns, a cupful and then another cupful, says the Philadel- phia Young People. “Three-fourths of all that_makes ft beautiful to be alive,” says W. C. Gan- nett, “consists of cup-offerings.” Take just a moment to consider this in per- sonal experience. Recall how often and often the cup of refreshment has com- forted the soul athirst, when there was no need of anything more and the larger supply was not at hand. Think what It has meant many a time to have the word in season of sympathy and love, of encouragement and cheer, to feel the mere toueh of a friendly hand, to realize the compantonship of one who was ready to stop a minute to minister in trifles, to offer the cup of refreshing. Who cares to be drenched by the turning on a river when thirsty and faint? A cup- offering of water is enough and does not stagger one with obligation. If our experience proves this to be so, what about our practice? Are we swift and ready with cup-offerings? Are we alert and glad to make the proffer in time of need? When the need is past, what good will It do? It Is a worthy aim to make It “beauti- ful to be alive” for those who doliveand “must Itve about us. Fountains of help abound, and it does not take long to dip a cupful and pass it on. No matter about the kind of cup, if love offers {t and pure water fills it, Don’t wait to turn the “course of a river or to place a fairy foun- tain by every man’s door. Remember the cup-offerings as you pass. THE NEAR VIEW.

Tt was a most suggestive saying. He en- dured tho shame 07 the cross heeause of the joy that was set before him; but the joy was a long way off—though he lived in the prospect af it. The whole suggestion has significance for those who are working and struegting and endur- ing, At first view—the ciose look—all seems confusion and dlrorder. This close view always makes pest?mists; pes- simists are near-sighted foliti; they see to the end of the street corner; scarcely that, sometimes. for their eyes areon the ground near their feet. He vio walks with his eyes cownward, who ‘© near- sighted by reason of his doubts and his fears, is the sorry soul among men; he has no message for his age: he is a pes- simist--and pessimists have no future. But the long look, the distant view—tt not only lends enchantment, but it stim- ulates faith, kindles inspiration, nerves for the conflict! ‘There is always a joy that is set before the soul of the faith- tul, though the Immediate object be a cross upon which he is to be offered. ‘What a pity to be near-sighted; what a great thing to have the long look of the “Our Poxsthilities of Well-Doing.

There are few who have the meney to build a church, or to endov: a public library, or to send a shipload of provisions across the ocean to a starving people. If there were no re- ward promised except to those who did such great things, most of us would feel our helplessness in the work of well-doing.

Should Be Rexpectfal Toward the Wills of Others, But Eager to Help as Well. The Chicago Interior, speaking of an editorial in an exchange, says that the latter recently undertook to say a true thing and said it so bunglingly that it sounded like a selfish, cowardly false- hood. ‘The truth aimed at was that the fate of each man’s soul rests in final responsibility with himself alone, ané not elsewhere, and thence the editor Mogically concluded that a Christian ts not his brother's keeper and has no righ to urge on his brother the claims of the Christian life, That was not only in- discriminate but inopportune. It is con ceivable that in some fanatical crisis Christians might need to be cautione¢ against infringing on the right of peo ple to go to perdition if they will, by this age of easy-going, unassertive Chris tian profession is not such a crisie—no by a very considerable quantity. It f perfectly true that as it is imposeibl to force a man into the Kingdom 0 Heaven, so it is wrong to go at him ir any way that looks as if that was what you meant to do. The Lord Jesu: Himself is profoundly, even myster! ously, respectful toward the humar will; He saves no man who doesn’ wish salvation, and although He look for men of violence to take the king dom by force in their earnestness, He takes none with violence for the king dom. Infinitely impotent as comparec with Him, we can only imitate the re [serve of the Master. ‘But it fs a sham to imitate Him in restraint ta one wa3 land not to imitate His eagerness of zea In all others, Where He wilt not com pel, He does with ineffable love con strain, and where He will not command He incessantly pleads. And the love o fellow-men which is not assumed 2s 4 duty but felt as the stirring of a Christ like heart, ‘will spontaneously follow fr the tactful way of the Saviour's ows soul-winning, Any pressing of the Chris tian life on one’s neighbor which ha the air of superior goodness condescend ing to advise him, of lofty wiscon charged with guardianship over him, o of fierce determination to carry him bodi ly where he oes not choose to go, wil quite naturally be an offense to the per son addressed.

We must ever remember that in the sight of God all our titles and family history and position in society are but the dust in the balance. Man, it is true, looks upon the outward appear- ance.

No matter how lowly the origin or poor, as the world counts poverty, the person may be, if his heart is right, he belongs to the royal household of the heavenly man- sions and should live on the earth in the light of that relationship. ‘That was a, fine reply that Cicero made to the sneer of a mean man of noble fam- ily, who had said to the great orator: “You are the first of your line.” “And you," answered Cicero, “are the !as: of yours.”—N.

(@ Sam., 15:13-17, 29.) David might have attempted to defend Jerusalem against Absalom, but was unprepared, and unsuccessful resistance would hava meant the sacking of the city and the horrors that invariably accompany & sack. Notice throughout the account that David was thoughtful for others, No part of the history throws more light on his real character than does this story of his flight, and at no time was his heart more kingly and his spirit more admir- able than in this time of his extremity. Note (1) his thought for Jerusalem (15:14); (2) his generous treatment of Ital, captain of a detachment of his fa- mous foreign bodyguard (15:19-22); (3) the sending back of the ark (15:25, 26); contrasting David's reasonable view of the situation with the superstitious fdeas of former generaticns; (4) the King’s treatment of Shimei (16:9-13; }19:16-23), ‘Though David was now an elderly man, and had of late retired more and more from active public life, his old energy and diplomatic skill re- turned to him at this time. He himself planned every detail of the campatgn. (Ch, 18:1-23.) Before the decisive bat- tle was fought Absalom reigned three months at Jerusalem. David had forti- fied himself at Mabanaim, across the Jordan from Jerusalem. During this time both were making preparations for the struggle, but the delay strengthened David far more than {t did Absalom. ‘The account of the battle is clear. While the army of the usurper was probably the larger, ft Incked discipline. With David were the famous generals Joab, Abishal and Ital, with the no less fae mous “Old Guard” of 600 mighty men. (Vs. 24-97.) One thing ts very clear— it was the loving father and not the out raged king that was supreme in David as he sat by the gate that day breathlesely waiting for news of the battle. “If he be alone there fs tidings;” 1f ke were flee- ing there would be others with him. “A good man . good tidings.” Aht- maaz was David's friend, and his eager- ness to be the bearer of the news was considered a good sign by the king. (Vs. 28-33.) “All is well.” Davia knew that could not be, forto his father- ly heart victory ‘vould be almost as bit- teras defeat. David's only reply to what was good news to others was the ques- Absalom?” “Went up to the chamber over the gate.” Tobe alone. Comment upon the pathetic passage that follows would be superfluous. Our cherished Idea of David the king is of the serene psalmist, with harp in hand, praising God. What must David's idea of himself have been as he bowed his head, alone in the chamber over the gate that day—the head whose gray ifairs told the tale of the heart-breaking sorrows of these last years? What had his life been? What kind of a father had he been? What ex- ample had he set his sons? They had Inherited his own weaknesses and pas- sions without his virtues. What could he expect of the children of the harem? For it he had neglected his kingly duties, and he had been indulgent and weak in the government of his children. There Is no more tremendous sermon on the inexorableness of God’s law of cause and sftect than the simple story of the tragedy of David's life. Penitent and forgiven, PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.

But I know he is running behind.” “Suppose,” said the elderly matron, “you had drawn your chair up beside his and said, as sweetly as you could: ya Ri es, OX ay yee : AN ane | ae pe ES 1 peer ery) .

Now suppose you had told him that his judgment was always so true that you wanted to ask his ad- vice about something. What would he have done?” “I think he would have kissed me and asked me what worried me. He is al- ways considerate when I am troubled.” “Quite right. Next suppose you had asked his advice about letting one of the servants go. What then?” “Wee-l-l, I think he'd have asked if I could run the house with only one servant.” “Then suppose you had said: ‘Well, HE cut and hints here given are I from the Chic Parisien.

Would he have suggested a smaller house?” “He might have. Yes, I think he would. He grumbled once about get~ ting lost in it. He'd probably have asked if I could manage with one serv- ant in a smaller house.” “And then suppose you had clapped your hands and exclaimed: ‘Just the thing! How clever of you to think of it. ‘Why, we can afford to keep both serv- ants in a smaller house, too, and we can be as comfortable as with six here.’ ‘Then suppose you had kissed him and said that he always did know just what to do. What would have happened next?” “Why, we'd be looking for another house now.” “On his advice or yours.” “His, I suppose.” “Really?” “Well, I don't know. He'd think so, anyway.” “Precisely, my dear, precisely. Your idea, his advice. Always let him put the advice in words. There’s nothing lke understanding a man. Now, run home, dear, and let him advise you what to do.”—Brooklyn Eagle. KEROSENE FOR THE HAIR. Seems to Be a Rough Treatment, Bat Its Results Have Proved En- drely Satistavtors: A woman recently asserted that the fine appearance of her hair was entirely due to a persistent and thorough treat- ment with the familiar kerosene of the corner grocery commerce. It was ap- plied regularly once a fortnight in the following way: A little was poured into a saucer and rubbed with the fingers into the roots of the hair. The appli- cation was slow and thorough, the gen- tle massage of the roots with the finger tips being needed to open the pores for the absorption of the oil. The treat- ment was usually made at night, and the hair afterward tied up ina silk hand- kerehief. ‘The silk handkerchief is reeom- mended by hair dressers as useful in retaining the natural electricity of the hair. By noon of the following day the odor of the kerosene had disappeared, and in another 12 hours the ofliness that followed its use had also gone. The effect of this treatment on the hair was promptly noticeable, the falling out stopped, and some new short hairs were found all over the head. As the kero- sene application was continued the hair became thick and smooth. When, after several months, it was finally discon- tinued, abundant glossy locks replaced the dry and lusterless hair—the former condition existing, though no kerosene had been used for several years.—N. Y, Post. cia aaa Lady—Beggings must be hard. ‘Tramp—It is, lady. This is the sixth lime that I have to eat soup to-day — Fliegende Blaetter. The other gown is of light baown cloth. The bolero, with lengthened shoulders, is trimmed with applications of the cloth embroidered with cord, forming a sort of network, and with little rings of passementerie. This trimming forms a sort of collar, and also motifs at the corners. The waist- coat is of white cloth or silk, and is turned back to form revers. The blouse is of white silk with collar of the embroidery, in which is run an odd little cravat of black velvet. ‘The full sleeves, plaited at the top, have little sealloped sleeve caps of the material, and are finished with cuffs trimmed with the cord embroidery. At the wrists are frills of lace. The skirt is gathered at the top and encircicd below with scalloped bands of the cloth and applique motifs of the emroidered cloth.

Elder Price, from Brooklyn, held services in G. W. Young's hall, Sunday afternoon, with newly-established A. M. E's. The white schools of Madison have been closed for a week, and will remain so for a week more, on account of diphtheria and scarlet fever, but the Colored school is still in session, for the diseases have not yet gotten among the Colored children. In October, 1902, 53 pupils were enrolled, with a total daily attendance of 798, an average daily attendance of 36, and 58 tardies. In October, 1903, 52 enrollments, 774 total daily attendance, average 35 daily and 75 tardies. The number of tardies shows the slowness of parents in getting their children off to school on time. Four boys and one girl—Masters Sherman, Ray, George Newsom, Sammy Lowe, Frankie Newsom and Etta Lowe—were perfect in their attendance, i.e. no excuses or tardies. Their pages are without marks. It is worse than a shame how some parents ROB; ACTUALLY ROB, their children of education by allowing them to run the streets with dirty faces and nappy heads. The worst of all, these children are damned with use of filthy words and acts, right under the eaves of homes and schools God has given for their guidance. Will these children curse their parents for shameless parental neglect of them when they shall have arrived at maturity? It is a traitorous act of any parent to insult the majesty of the child's opportunity to develop itself into a spiritual being. Such a parent had better have a millstone about his or her neck and be cast into the depths of the sea. The "dead" Booker Washington League of Newport, by self-resurrection, appeared in the ethereal sky of civilized decency, and, with wan of legal strictness, touched "the dead corpse" of bold adultery, and it sprang upon its feet praying for an opportunity to marry. Charge, brave soldiers, for order and decency in this Negro community, and never call retreat until every adulterer leaves Newport. IT WILL THEN BE REPORTED A RENEWED NEWPORT. Mr. Isaac Hall is a congenial gentlemen and citizen of Newport. He has a pleasant wife and two little children. His little son, Roy Hall, who yet wears dresses, is a cheery little fellow, with laughing humor and bright eyes. Mr. Hall is a fearless and active league worker, and a member both of the school and executive committees. The good heart of Mrs. G. W. Young may be seen when it is known that she purchased books for one of the school misses who is no relative of hers. If all the ladies of Newport would come and join the league, so much could be done to save the pretty girls going to ruin right under their eyes. Shame on your Christianity, for none of you will help us. A MOST REMARKABLE CHARACTER. Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, was born in 1815; therefore, was a slave 45 years. He passed through the civil war in the commissary department, and since that time, through friends, he has secured several good positions. In 1881 he was employed by the late Hon. John W. Turner, street commissioner under Mayor William L. Ewing; then under Hon. D. R. Francis, who was mayor of St. Louis. For the past ten years he has been a patient sufferer, not being able to do any hard work, yet he was always willing to do something for a living. He is now a newsdealer, selling papers. By that means he makes a fair living. He sells the St. Louis Palladium, and if you wish to help him, you can do so. Remember, he can not get out, but you can get The St. Louis Palladium by calling at his house, 209 South fifteenth street.
