He had been horn a peasant, but from the day of his blrtf bad manifested wonderful precocity He walked with a sturdy step befor be was a year old and was possessci of a man's vocabulary before he wa two. Ills bent was In two direction tudy and activity. lie was sent 1 school, where he sopn surpassed h masters, while' in athletic sports at feats of during no one could co] with hlin. When Chlacas was seventeen yer Old a neighboring king invaded 1 dominions of his 'sovereign, aud 1 boy enlisted In the army. At the fi battle he rallied his legion (or r< meut, as we call it now). It hav __been driven back and Its eomnian killed; Thla made lilm promlueut. "? miiuurv ser rose rapidly m ^ and eventually as g<, CLro.e ?

JUT forth au army. ? ne haa subjugtrrewM the bjfljyfc-y coutluent on which he lived, uVu8 gether they formed an empire. uci When tliere were no more conqu*.1 for Cldacns he was made prime mil Jster uu<l us a luwglver proved hlmse us great ns a soldier. His king die childless, and, the legal heir to th throne being u weakling, the peopl demanded that Chlacas assume th crown. He deferred to the uimniinou call, and the government was mad perpetual In hlui and his family. Up to that time Chlacas was th greatest is an that had over lived. II was Imitat.xl later by Caesar, who wa both general mid lawgiver, and In th eighteenth and nineteenth eenturle A. D. by Napoleon Bonaparte. But unlike either of these men. lie was no ambitious for himself. lie love.l h' people, and his only wish was to mak them great and prosperous. Th!s In achieved. From a petty kingdom witl no markets for their products exeep within their own borders he made thou an empire, with the neighboring nn tions tributary to them, and forced pur chasers of what they produced. A1 he desired from them was their grati tude, which they lavished upon him t< his heart's content. When Chlacas had mounted to tin pinnacle of fame and could climb n< higher, a soothsayer came to his domln Ions and foretold many wonderfu things. King Chlacas was seized wltl a desire to know what would be hi: end. lie sent for the soothsayer nnt asked him to give him a picture o himself in his last days. "O king," said the prophet, "you asl what is not for your good, the good o: your people or of the world, lleavei has wisely concealed our future, tin hour of death. Were these revealei the affuirs of the people of the eartl could not go ou. Do not ask me t< reveal what Is In store for you." "1," replied the king, "am superio to the detriment such revelation wouh occasion in another. Show me mysel na 1 will aniwin r lit mo *l"r H Then the soothsayer touched the king who straightway fell Into a deep stum ber. And he dreamed a dream. Ii a desolate place he saw a hut, and li the hut on a rude cot, covered wltl ragged bedclothing, lay an old wai dying. There was no one to mlniste: to him. no one to hear the groan h< gave when his spirit left his body. me sootusayer touched the king, an< he awoke. "Interpret the dreatn I have dream ?d," he aald to the soothsayer. "O king, know that the old man li yourself. Your subjects shall re be against you, and a foreign ruler shal dispossess you of'your dominions. Yoi j?hall die In exile, with no one to sound , ^ yoar praises or to give you even t crust of bread." From this moment King Chi seas wat changed. The Ingratitude of his sub Jects rankled in his breast. Faon loving them be grew to hate them. In stead of redressing their wrongs, b< took no Interest In them. From thee he began to oppress them. Gradusilj that love they had borne him abate*! and at last turned to animosity. Thb antagonism between the sovereign and his people led to many troubles foi both. Taking advantage of the op portunlty, one of tbe strongest of th< subject nations rebelled, and, Chlacas having to oppose it with an army win disliked him, could not fight them wltt the same effect as formerly. Tbe rebeli were successful and achieved their In dependence. This rebellion was fol lowed by others till every subject prov lnce bad become free. Then a neighboring king who ha<! been growing strong while Chlacas had been growing weak determined t< make war with a view to subjogatlni the man who had been so great. Tbii be succeeded in doing and annexed <118 territory to ma own dominions Chlacaa fled with a number of his ad herents, but be bad no mean a <Jf re talnlng them about him, and tbey grad nally dwindled away till the ex-king was alone. lie wandered from on< place to another and Anally built bin a bwt ofi a desolate Island. There hi ^ -^llred alone till death relieved him 01 tils suffering*. The story of Chlacas teaches the wis dom of our future being kept hlddec from us. F. A. MITCHBL. t f, I'T M-t* 1 f . Dowle and Ills Mission. The career of Joliu Alexander Dowle U ono for thoughtful people to note ! | with more than passing Interest. This is a nation of Bible reading and churchgoing, and the manifestation known as Zionism Is not explained by saying that Dowle was an arrant Impostor i and his large following made up of people taken unawares. He succeeded e In the shadow of prosperous churches, j Ills converts could test the reasouablos noes of his l>old claims by crossing the ii< street to listen to established orthodox to Vellglbus teaclilngs. Probably the inaIS Jorlty of them had heard all that the nl' ehujjOh hah to say before they pinned pe falth ltb Dowle. ' It war claimed for Dowle that hi ir8 'reached men as the regular ministry ??oUld not or'tild not; that he covered i Lhe flt?fd' iu the "work of Uplifting a llttl rKt Idghef In the social scale than the ig|- rbhbhed'lty 1he Salvation Army.

There are now G17 seats in the British upper chamber, of which number 549 are held by hereditary peers of Euglnnd or peers of the United Kingdom, sixteen representative peers of Scotland and twenty-eight representative peers of Irelaud. The principle of Selection having nlreudy been applied in the cases of Ireland and Scotland, it would not : be an innovation to muke it universal. Representation according to population would reduce the Importance of England in the house of lords to a degree which would strike the masses as radical. The present apportionment would leave Scotland sixteen peers and reduce Ireland's delegation to sixteen, and the allotment for England and the United Kingdom would be 115 peers and probably some representatives from the episcopal l>eueb of bishops, rjiiuoiii/ cue vote of the house of lords would not be changed. Unionists now predominate, and Unionist peers would be chosen. If the reform should go the length of providing for Jolut sessions of the parliament on oertaln questions, the lords, If disposed to vote e together, could muster enough votes to turn the scale. If the lords must go, 1 It la the wisest thing for them to sa\? their dignity by yielding gracefully the main point and Insisting upon a square deal In the new line up. i ' | After writing her ninety-sixth uovei , John 8trange Winter confesses, "I am I now tired of writing novels."
