BUNCHING HIS HARD LUCK
Sufferer From Toothache Summoned
Philosophy to His Aid During
I Period of Trouble.
"Philosophers are not all dead jet,"
aid the dentist "I met one this
morning who knocked me out of two
hours' work on a doy when I have
nothing to do anyhow, and will make
me work overtime tomorrow, when I
lhall be crowded with engagements.
He was howling with a toothache.
" 'Better come around and have It attended
to,' I said.
" 'Can't do It today,' he said, 'I'm too
busy.'"
" 'But you can't work when you are
srazy with the toothache,' I argued.
"'Oh, yes I can,' said he. 'There
are half a dozen other things 1 want
done to me that hurt pretty bad, and
If I hare them done when my tooth
la on the rampage, they won't seem so
bad, because one hurt will neutralize
the other. I always take advantage
of a toothache to dispatch those disagreeable
Jobs.'
"Maybe not many people could
stand that kind of philosophy, but apparent!:
that man is going to get
away with It"

Specially Arranged for This Paper
LESSON TEXT?2 Kings 17:1-18.
MEMORY VERSE?14.
GOLDEN TEXT?"He That Being Often
Reproved Hardeneth his Neck. Shall Suddenly
be Destroyed, and That Without
Remedy."?Prov. 29:1.
TIME? Hoshea became king In the
twelfth year of Ahaz (2 Kings 17:1), B.
C. 728 (Beecher). 730 (Hastings*. Samaria
fell B. C. 718 (Beecher), 722 (Hastings).
PLACE?Samaria, the capital of the
nortnern kingdom, about 35 miles north
of Jerusalem.
KINGS?Hezeklah In Judah., carrying
out his reforms. In Assyria and Babylon,
Shalmaneser IV., followed by Sargon
II. in Assyria and Merodach-baladan In
Babylon. In Egypt. Saboka (So.).
PROPHETS?Isaiah and perhaps Hosea
and Mlcah.
What was the character of Hoshea?
The Implication of v. 2 Is that, though
he allowed the practices of idolatry
and the other evils of his predecessors,
yet he was a better man than
they. Perhaps the teachings of Hosea
had reached his heart. "About his
personal character we know little. Wo
may infer that it lacked decisive energy
and lofty patriotism. Beginning
his reign as a mere puppet in Assyria's
hands, he shaped his career as ,
an opportunist. He was too astute to
offend any national susceptibilities by
abandoning the worship of Jehovah, ,
too cautious and politic to play the
role of a purist in religious practices. :
The Impartial historian will not judge
this laBt king of Ephriam too severely, ;
but will unhesitatingly admit that be
lived in times of direst difficulty and
peril, when nothing but miraculous
divinely guided statesmanship, like
that of Isai.th, could have saved the
realm from overwhelming disaster."
The Northern Kingdom had had its
chance, and had thrown it away, j
"There is less hope for us each year
and day we live in sin. Every hour
we are drifting out to sea?the helpless,
helinless bark is leaving the les- !

hind. Our disease becomes incurable, i
' Like those stones which, though soft
as clay on being raised from the quari
ry, grow hard as flint through ex- 1
I posure to the weather, our hearts are
growing harder dav by day."
Hoshea's imprisonment is a fair
sample of the result of dependence
; upon men rather than God. Trust In
Egypt was Israers snare from the
; first. The prophets compared it to
; trusting in a shadow or making a staff
out of a bruiBed reed. "The bankrupt
who asks a bankrupt to set him up in
business again is only losing time. The
prisoner does not beg his fellow prisoner
to set him free. The shipwrecked
sailor does not call upon his ship;
wrecked comrade to place him safe
ashore." In our troubles we are not

to know that without God's favor and
assistance all human help is vain.
What measures did Shalmaneser
take to reduce to submission his rebellious
vassal? He sent (or led in
person) an army against him. ITofesI
sor Rogers thinks that Hoshea
marched out to meet this army, and
was then captured and sent to Assyria
as a prisoner. At any rate,
: "Samaria prepared for a siege. There
is something heroic in the very
thought. It was surrounded and 1
hemmed in by territory over which it
had once ruled In undisputed sway,
but which had long been controlled by
Assyrian governors and filled with As- 1
syrian colonists. As Shalmaneser ad- '

destroy and lay waste everything about
the city which might have furnished ]
any aid or comfort to it. From tho
villages and towns thus destroyed tho '
people would flock into the capital
until it was crowded. The people of
Samaria may have hoped for help from
Egypt, watching with sick hearts for 1
signs of an approaching ariny of sue,
cor. They knew what surrender
meant In the loss of their city, and in
probable deportation to strange lands.
They were fighting to the bitter end
for homes and for life.
What God had done: By a marvelous
deliverance, he had brought them
out of their bondage in Egypt. He
had driven out the Canaanites from
' before them. He had given them the
j commandments, and full and wise
| laws. He had made a covenant with
them, over and over, promising them
i all blessings if they would obey him.
! He had sent them the prophets and
J seers, the best and wisest of men, to
i declare his will and lead the way.
What Israel had done: They had
fallen into a worse bondage, becoming
slaves of an abominable idolatry. They
had fallen to worshiping the very gods
of the Canaanites, thus proved powerless.
They had broken the command
ments. especially the most solemn and
important, that against idolatry. They
had failed to keep their part of the

to keep his part. They would not lis

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"I wish to let you know of a couple
of recent cures which I have made
by the use of the Cutlcura Remedies.
Last August, Mr. of this city j
came to my office, troubled with a
severe skin eruption. It was dermatitis
In its worst form. It started with a
slight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and abdomen?and would
terminate in little pustules. The itching
and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, trying
to get relief. I recommended all
the various treatments I could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
"In the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been trying
different prescriptions and nieth3ds
with my assistance, told ine she
was going to get some of the Cutlcura
Remedies and givo them a fair trial.
Rut as I did not know much about
Cuticura at that time 1 was doubtful
whether it would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, especially
on the fingers, wrists and
nrrns. I could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first applied
the warm baths of Cutlcura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improvement
and In a few days she was completely
cured.
"1 lost no time In recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr. ,
and this was two months ago. I told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuticura
Ointment generously. Relieve
me, from the very first day's use of
the Cuticura Remedies ho was greatly
lelieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. I have great
faith In the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that I am convinced of
their wonderful merits." (Signed) R.

Pills will be sent free to anyone on request.

in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communication
will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as carefully
as though you had a personal interview.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
eoax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not gripe, they do nut weaken, hut they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most ailments.
There are 2G feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pips.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, causing
biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any l^-ver
ailment can expect to have a ciear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
I had my way I would prohibit tks sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason thut they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and to paralyze 1 lie bowels tlia-c they refuse
to net unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to tlie stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they enrich
the blood Instead of Impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are scothing. healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

an election to decide the matter as

Gridley agreed ihat if the election
