Wtmory Verse, 21?Golden Text, Luko

D. M. Stearns.
[Copyright. 1903. by American Press Association.]
David is still fleeing for his life
from Saul, for Saul s'bugbt him every
day aud said. "If he be in tbe land I
will search him out throughout ail the
thousands of Judab" (xxiii. 14. 23). but
God delivered him uot into his hand.
On one occasion Saul and bis men
compassed David and-bis men'rouud
about to take them, but j ist then a
messenger came to Saul saying. "Haste
thee and come, for tbe Philistines have
invaded- tbe land,", so Saul returned
from pursuing David (xxiii. 20. 27).
After the parting of David and Jona
than, as recorded in last week's lesson,
' there followed that incident to which
our Lord referred iu Matt. ::ii, 3. when
He said. "Have ye not read what
David did when be was an hungered,
and they that were with him?" These
lessons were therefore a familiar por
tion to our Lord, as were all tbe Scrip
tures, which He loved to unfold to His
disciples. That day at Nob tbe devil
was on band in tbe person of Doeg the
Edomite, Saul's chief berdtuan. and he
became tbe murderer of eighty-five
priests, besides other men and women
and children, by the command of Saul
(xxii. IS. 19). Abiathar. one of the
priests, escaped und lied to David and
lo!d biui the sail ta'e. Kliding David
to feel t?at be was guilty pi the death
of all those people. It was then that
David uttered those memorable words
to Ablathar. "Abide thou with me:
fear uot. fur be that secketb my life
seekeib thy life, but with me thou
shalt be In safeguard" (xxii. 23?.
When we think of tbe slaughter- of
these priests of the Lord, the massacre
of the babes at Bethlehem and the
martyrs in all ages, we are simply
dumb, yet tempted to ask, Where is
the love of God in ail this? Then we
remember that He said to His dis
ciples, "Peer uot-them which kill the
body, but are not able to kill the soul"
(Matt x. 2S?, and He has also taught
us that "to die is gain." so that some
day we shall see that nil this work of
the devil broirght no real barm to these
martyred ones, but only gain. We
cannot see it now, but we can believe
it, and believing is seeing?faith is tbe
eye of the soul. The story of today's
lesson does not tell us of the first time
that David had Saul in bis power. See
in chapter xxiv how completely David
bad him and how easily he might have
disposed of him, but be refrained, say
ing. "I will not put forth my hand
againrt my lord, for He is the Lord's
anoiuted" (xxiv. M>. He simply cut
off the skirt of Saul's robe privily that
he might afterward show him how he
had bin*, in bis power and if possible
make him ashamed of himself and of
his folly. He succeeded for a time and
in some measure, as we learn froai
Saul's words in the end of that chap
ter. But, as we said in a previous les
son, no reliance ^cau be placed upon
such a man possessed with such an
evil spirit, and now he is again pur
suing him with 3.000 chosen men
(xxvi. 1. 2). and again God puts Saul
in David's power and causes a deep
sleep to come upou Saul and his men
while David and AbishaL (David'?* sis
ter's son) came by night and took the
spear aucl the cruse of water from
Saul's bolster, and none of Saul's men
saw it nor knew It nor awaked be
cause of that deep sleep from the Lord.
It must have been a sleep from the
Lord which held tbe guard to whom
Peter was chained that night of his
deliverance by the angel (Acts xii. 6).
When Abishai urged David to take ad
vantage of his opp>rtuni:y and let him
smite Saul to the earth, promising that
one thrust would do the work. David
again refused to streich forth bis
hand against the Lord's anointed, say
ing, "As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall
smite him, or his day shall come to
die, or he shall descend into battle and
perish" (verse 10). He would leave
hi? enemy wholly rn Cod .ind keen bis
h. ? -?J I: i.- : .... :is to com
mit our way und ourvworks and all
people and things so wholly to God
and so leave them there that we can
dweil in God and see Him only.
When David had put a'good distance
between Saul aud himself he cried
out to Abuer. the captain of Saul's
host, and told him what a valiant man
he was and how well be had cared for
his master. Saul recoguized David's
voice. David replied to him. asking if
It was God or man who bad so stirred
him against him. comparing himself to
a flea and a partridge, as be had for
merly to a dead dog and a flea (verse
20; chapter xxiv. 14?. Saul seemed
penitent again, confessed that be had
erred and played the fool aud sinned
and asked David to return, assuring
him that he would no more do him
barm. David asked him to send for
his spear, reminded him again how he
bad spared his life aud appealed to the
Lord to render to every man His
righteousness and faithfulness. Note
David's habit of continually inquiring
of the Lord (xxiii. 2. 4. 9-12) and see
Prov. ill, 5, 0; in chapter xxv the
death of Samuel, and the story of Abi
gail, good and beautiful, and her fool
ish, drunken husband See her kit:'!
words of encouragement to David
(verses 2S-31) and in ie particularly
these: "Tbe soul of in.< l.nrd shall be
bound in the buudle of life with tb^
Lord thy God." Appropriate this to
yourself.

Sort of a Reproach.
A Yorkshire J England) farmer was
asked to the funeral of a neighbor's
third wife, and as he had attended the
funeral of the two others his own wife
was rather surprised when lie declined
the invitation. On being pressed he
gave his reason with some hesitation.

Chap feel a bit a' kv.::;e like to ab
lus accepting other folks' civilities
when he never has nowt ??' t' sooart of

! Not Worth the Offer.
'?I was standing out in front one
night." said a theatrical manager,
"when a ragged little urchin came
along with a.dog under his arm. The
dog was a yellow cur of the maugiest
variety I had ever seen.
" 'Are you the manager of the show':'
asked the boy.
"I told him I was.
" 'Well,' remarked the lad. 'I want to
see the show, but I hain't got no
money. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll
give you this dog if you'll let me iu.'
"I looked at the boy and then at the
dog. and my heart melted. 'You cau go
on in.' 1 said, 'but never mind giving
me the dog. Take the dog along in
with you.'
"The lad went in with the yellow
cur under his arm. After the perform
ance I was standing out in front and
happened to see the urchin come out.
" 'Well, souny,' I remarked, 'how did
you like the show?'
" 'Oh, pretty well,' he said, 'but I'm
awful glad I didn't give you the dog.' "
At the Milliner's.
"Yes." I like the hat immensely, but
I'm afraid my husband won't care for
it"
"But such a love of a hat, madam!"
"Yes; I know. Oh, will you put it
aside until tomorrow and I'll bring ray
husbaud in"?
"Impossible, madam. You had bet
ter take It now. It is much easier to
get another husbaud than another hat
like this one!"?Woman's Home Com

A Warm Corpse.
Some Irish body snatchers had rifled
a grave and hid their booty in a cor
ner of the churchyard wheu it oc
curred to a half tipsy fellow, who had
becu watching Ihcui unobserved, that
it would be plensanter to be driven
back to the dearest town than to walk.
He accordingly secreted the dead man
under a hedge and lay down in Iiis
place. He was duly transferred to a
cart, but when about half the journey
was over one of the men who had
touched his hand screamed to his
friend. "Good heavens, the body is
warm!"
Hereupon, in a deep voice, the sup
posed dead man remarked, "If you had
been where I've been for the last two
days, you'd be warm too!"

Peace on Earth.
Have you ever thought seriously of
the meaniug of that blessing given
to the peacemaker? People are al
ways expecting to get peace in heaven.
But you kuow whatever j>eace they get
there will be ready made. Whatever
making of peace they cau be blessed
for must be ou the earth here, not the
taking of arms against but the build
ing of uests amid its "sea of troubles"
(like the halcyons).
Difficult enough, you think? Per
haps so. but I do not see that any of
us try. We complain of the want of
many things?we want votes, we want
liberty, we want amusement, we want
I money. Which of us feels or knows
I that lie wants peace??John Ruskiu.

Sure of the Verdict.
A thug with a political pull in New
York was indicted fur stealing a truck
load of hams. The trial came. Tbe
evidence against the thief was over
whelming. His lawyer leaned to him
and whispered:
"You are a gone goose. There is
nothing for me to do."
But the prisoner replied:
"Just you get up there, please, and
make a speech abusing all the wit
; nesses. Considering the size of your
I fee you lose heart pretty quickly."
I So the lawyer made a most abusive
I .speech. But the judge suunited up
powerfully against the ham stenler.
After an absence of live minutes, how
ever, the jury brought in a verdict of
"not guilty."
"Well. 1 cau't understand it." said
the prisoner's lawyer as he left the
court arm in arm with his client.
"I can." said the other, with a enlm
smile. "Every man on that jury Lad
one of the hams."
A Way They Have.
A prominent eastern clergyman is
willing in marriage eeremouics to
omit, whenever requested to. the ob
noxious "to obey." One of this clergy

"What right have you." he said, "to
tamper with Hie marriage ceremony?"
"Oh. well," laughed the minister,
"that 'obey' is a dead ler'.e; anyway.
The very best woman in the world
promised to obey me eighteen years
ago. but she hasn't to this day."
Under Marshall Law.
When James Watson Webb of New
York made Tom Marshall of Kentucky
a target for his editorial lance, he
struck a tartar. Marshall challenged
and insisted upon a duel, which was
fought near Wilmington. Del. The
principals were stationed ten feet
apart and exchanged shots without
effect. Marshall insisted upon another
shot, and both men tired simultaneous
ly. Colonel Webb staggered, bis sec
onds laid him on the ground, and the
surgeon announced that he was
wounded below the knee.
"That was the lowest act of my life."
shouted Marshall. "Stand him up
again ,for another shot."
But Webb was unable to stand. He
was taken to a hotel, where he was
laid up for several weeks, saying io
his visiting friends. "I am confined to
my bed under Marshall law."

THE DIFFERENCE \
By Adela Louise Kimball
Y'es. It made a difference, Lesley
Carthwright, looked first at the great
stone mansion on one corner and
then at the little brown cottage on
the other.
He I;new such a very little about
her, just that she was beautiful, that
he loved her and the name and ad
dress which she had inscribed on the I
card, Althea Holbrook, corner West
and Canton streets, May berry. But
there were obviously two* corners,
the one with its great towers, stables
end conservatories, the other with
its little broken dowu gale and
crumbling woodwork.
A guilty flush came to his face as
he ,:iovcd out of sight behind a
hedge, for she stood in the doorway
of the little brown bruse. A larga
white apron covered tue soft gray
of her dress and a .vhite cap perch
ed upon the golden brown glory of
her hair.
His head bent under the weight of
the 'now. He dared not race Luis; j
he must marry money. He loved I
her, bat?it was no use. He turned I
slowly, and without one backward \
glance walked away.
I But t..e glri in gray had seen him, I
I aud although her face turned pale,
a little scornful smile played about
her lips, for she possessed that thing
which is so hard tor a man to under
stand, a woman's intu'tiou.

had no intention of marrying her.
But perhaps he had been cherishing
an ideal perhaps if he saw her
again it might be easier to forget
her. i
Then he caught a glimpse of two
brown eyes laugbinf into -his own
and a wealth of gold brown hair, as
Althea Holbrcok a.sl.ed by on horse
back. '
"A fine horse, that,.:ir," said a
lounger.
"W-o is the lady?"
"That is Althea Holbrook, old Mil
lionaire Kolbrook's daughter. She
has just bought the "?ld Corey man
sion; >ou know the place sir?"
"I Know the place." said Carth
wright quietly. "Who lives in the
little brown house opposite?"
"Old .fane Walsh, a pensioner of
hers. We have all said it ought to
be torn down long ago, but Miss Al
thea wouldn't have it- Now. there's
a woman lor you; no stuck-irp ails
about her. fou wouldn't believe it.
but since old Jane has been so lame
she has gone over there every morn
ing and cleaned house lor her; sne
says she like* it."
Leslej Carthwright waited to hear
no more; his hear: was'piimping the
hot blood through his veins as he
strode up the street. It made such a
difference, such an overwhelming
dine, i nee.
? * %
it was one 01 Fates tricks that she
should again be standing in the door
way of the brown house, her horse
pawing the ground by the iltle brok
en gate. Her arms were filled with
autumn leaves and her cheeks glow
ed with the bright color of health.
Sne was dresser in green velvet, and
as she stood there peeping out from
behind the leaves, her e.ves spark
ling with light and happiness, slid
made a picture he n >\er' forgot.
"Althea," he cried.
Mr. Carthwright," she said a trifle
cooiiy. Bui the next moment shti
was laughing brightly aud motioned
him to lollow her into the house.
"So you found the courage to come
and see me this time," she said gay
i.
He colored and could not. meet her
r erry eyes.
"Are not these leaves beautiful?"
she said. "You will not mind if I
keep right on working, will you?
"Maj I help you?" said Carth
wright rwkwardly.
"Oh, no! 1 could not let you for
the world. It Is just a whim of
mine. Somehow this little place
eems more like home to me than
:>.ny place in the wnole world. l

1 vould shock you II I said T loved to

eo on, trying to pat him at his ease,
but his eyes wandered restlessly
about the room, trying in vain to
meet her own.
"I want to do all the decorating
myself," she went on, "for you see
I'm to be married here to-morrow."
"Althea!'' Carthwright jumped to
his feet and strode over to where
she stood in the centre of the room.
Tue leaves fell to the ground and she
looked up at hiui with her eyes a.
little frightened. "Althea." he cried,
and you have forgotten?"
"I have forgotten?nothing."
Her tone was bitter, and he turn
ed away asha) 'd.
"But tell me. tell me this, Althea,"
he said huskily; "If I had come, if
1 had come- -then?would it have
been different?"
Her eyfs grew a '.'ttle aad. "Per
haps.'' she said ..reamily. "Who
can tell? I am afraid that perhaps
it might. '
"Afraid, Althea?"
"Yos.'for you see I nn beginning

NATIONAL POLITICS
SENATOR TILLMAN PREDICTS
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
Taft too Subservient and Sherman's
Nomination an Insult to the Name
of Reform.
The following special cable dis
patch from its. representative, in
London., printed in. the New York
Herald Saturday, will be read with
interest in this State-:
Among all the prophets of Demo
cratic success at the coming election
none is more confident than Senator
Benjamin it. Tillman, of South Car
olina, who after an extensive' Con
tinental tour, is enjoying his first
visit, to London.
"it may be that the wish if fath
er to the thought,said Senator
Tillman when I encountered him at
the office of the American Express
company, "but it looks to me as if
Bryan has a powerful good chance
of cleaning up the other crowd tills I
j time. In the first place he has been I
nominated in spite of the best, or
ganized newspaper light against him
ever known, thus demonstrating his
innate strength with the rank and file1
of the Democratic party. Taft, on :
the contrary, has been nominated
solely at the dictation of Roosevelt
and against, the wishes of the masses;
in the Republican party. While Taft
is a lovable character in every way,
and 1 don't wish to be construed as
I saying .anything against, him as a
'man. his self-obliteration and what'
I LiorJd eail 'In elLmeui of sub
serviency in his visit, to Oyster Bay
to get his speech revised are not in
his favor.
Other Factors of the Situation.
"There are other facts that must
appeal to the people. If. for instance
we are going to Mexicanize our
country by having the president ap
point his successor through the ma
chinery of the Republican party and
the use of office-holders to a stock
nominating convention, it is simfyiy
going to make a great slump down
ward in the history of the American
Republic.
"Again, if the country is really in
love, with, and anxious to have car
ried out, reforms which Roosevelt
stole From the Democrats and pro
claimed as 'my policy,' the people
will recognize that Bryan more fully
represents those ideas than does
Taft.
"Then again the vice presidential
! nomination of the Republican con
ivention is an insult to the name of
reform. Everybody in Washington
Iis familiar with Sherman's align
ment with the plutocratic influences
Of the country, and unless I mistake
the character of the people generally
they will consider his nomination as
a surrender to the plutocracy.
"While Taft's friends are denying
everything that is calculated to lose
him any votes there is still anoi..er
'important consideration which will
iinfluence the election of Rryan. The
[panic of last winter has only left un
pleasant recollections and an amount
[of damage to business which now is
'relatively small. Things seem to be
almost normal at present, but what
iever It was, harm resulted with Re
publicans in possession of all branch
es of the government, in spite of the
.protective tariff, iu spite of the gold
standard.
Xo Money Issue Xow.
"The money question is no issue
I now and cannot be made one. Bry
an's attitude in 1 906 and 1900 would
not influence even a nervous baby,
much less a sensible voter, and un
less American minds are absolutely
bestotted, of which in my opinion
there is not the slightest indication,
they will realize that to allow one
party to remain in power indefinitely
is not healthy or for the good of the
country.
"Consider, besides, the disaffec
tion in the west over the tariff, and
(the clamor for Roosevelt's program,
which Bryan represents, and you will
(see that Bryan cannot keep from win
; ning."
In answer to a question Senator
Tillman said:
"Xo. I don't think anything much
can he done wit hthe tariff next se
sion. Two-thirds of the senate are
against any reduction, and if there
were a change this big majority
would rather favor an increase. Even
if a Democratic president and house
were elected wouldn't Aldrich just
sit there in the senate and laugh at
anv tariff bill sent from across the
way0"

TO OUR CUSTOMERS:.
That we may acquaint them with the forth coming style* for Fall
and Winter. ,g|
In a recent letter from our Mr. Sol Kohn, who is now in New
York, purchasing the stock for this store, we have reason to believe
that the following items will have a pronounced effect upon women's
apparel.
Following the tendency of the Paris fashions, the pronounced t.vpe
will he the Directorie, or "Sheath" effect. This does not only apply
to the making of the dresses, hut to the dress accessories a* well. It
will not lie too much to say that it will have quite as much reign as
did the "Merry Widow" styles, of this last Spring and Summer.
The modern Paris Dirrcctoire Gown will be entirely too extravagant
for American ideas, but moderated, it will have an effect on all other
dress styles.
.Buttons and ribbons, the former about the sizes of iS5c and 50c
pieces, will have the lead in dress trimmings. The leading shades will
be Chevron blue, and Taupe, a kind of dark mouse gray, und all shades
of green. Diagonal stripes role. Staudard colorsare popular. We have
just received quite a number of novelties of the season, especially in but
ton.-;, neckware and hair goods. j
The new "Sheath Comb," which lends a decided Grecian effort to
the Coiffure, is now on sale. It is made of wire, through which is drawn
taffeta ribbon rosette on each end. . j
In shoes, the tendency is the patent leather, witii gaiter tops, of
color nearest to the dress which it is to match. Either button or hue
shoes ciut be worn. We have just received a fine line from Boston,
which we will be glad to show.
As far as we can ascertain, the millinery tendency for trimming is
towaiil velvet, quills, and plumes. Hats an* high crowned, and some of
them have the crown surrounded by large size feathers, wliich is term
ed a "Bandeaux."
Manish effects for tailor made suits are all the go. Mr. Kohn
writes us that he has .veil particularly successful in getting a good lino
of these necessities.
In stating th< lew ider.s above, we do so from the highest authori
ties in our line. Wc ask our customers to always consider Holm's Em
porium as the authorities for styles of all kinds for this section of tlxe
State. Our reputation of many years justifies this statement. 1
With hojH's of seeing our customers here fur their Fall and White*
purchases, we are, i
Sincerely yours,
