OVERCOME MANY DIFFICULTIES

To Reach Jasper County, Ind., by German Couple in Leaving ' . China. /

Mr. and Mrs. John Eilts arrived here Monday from China, where he has been located for several years, to visit his brothers, Rinehold and Edward Eilts of north of Rensselaer! Both Mr. and Mrs, Eilts are natives of German*-, and when the present European conflict broke out they decided to make for the United States, and after many months succeeded in reaching this country. An account of their experience in getting out of China was published Is the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser of Feb. 16, and follows:

John Eilts, a civil engineer and architect of Tsingtau, who is a through passenger aboard the Tenvo Mani, accompanied by his wife, en route to San Francisco, said last night that the British authorities in the Orient were making it almost impossible for Germans to leave China for either the United States or Europe. Mr. and Mrs. Eilts and a number of prominent members of the local German colony were the guests of Rudolph Heydeurich at the Rathskellar last night. When the war broke out in Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Eilts were in Harman, in the southern part of China. Owing to his large property interests in Tsingtau, Mr. Eilts made Immediate preparations to leave the Chinese province for his home m north China.

“The fifrst obstacle I encounterer,” Said Mr. Eilts,“was when I was told by the British consul at Haiman that I could not leave the country until permission was granted from Hongkong. A letter was written to the authorities in Hongkong asking for this permission, which was not answered for a whole month. Telegrams were exchangee for another week and finally cablegrams were sent to London.

“For three months we were held in Haiman waiting for the unraveling of official red tape and finally my wife and I slipped out of the port one night in a Chinese junk. For two weeks we were on this strange craft and after many thrilling adventures with French officers at Hoi-How we finally made the port of Kong-Moon, which is within seven hours of Canton by rail. ‘‘We were four weeks making the journey from Canton to Nanking, and upon our arrival in Shanghai we found that we had another month’s delay in getting! a steamer out.pf there for the United States, owing to the fact that all ships from the Orient at that time Were carrying large numbers of refugees from Tsingtau, We finally secured passage on the Tenvo Ma.ru and without anv further difficulty I expect to land in the United States safely within the Hext week.

“Our experience has been a trying one and at times very- thrilling. 1 will say-, however, that the British, with the assistance of the Japanese, are going to convince the German residents of China that the Flowery Kingdom is a good country to stayin.’’

ECHOES FROM MONTICELLO Monticello Happenings Always Interest Our Readers. After reading pf so many people in our town who have been cured byDoan’s Kidney Pills, the question naturally arises: “Is this medicine equally successful in our neighboring towns?’’ The generous statement of this Monticello resident leaves no room for doubt on this point. Mrs. George Howell, N. Main St., Monticello, Ind., says: “I suffered off and on for two or three years from attacks of kidney and bladder complaint. Sharp twinges often darted through my kidneys and sides and were followed by a dull, nagging ache in the small of my back. The kidney secretions were unnatural and I had headaches.; I finallygot Doan’s Kidney Pills and they quickly relieved me, toning up my system. I have since then enjoyed good health.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy-^get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Howell had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N.

REVEALS DOUBLE LIFE

GIRLS SUICIDE SHOWS EM- / PLOYER HAD TWO HOMES. Police Say Manufacturer of New Haven Admitted He Was Possessor of a Dual Personality. New Haven, Conn., March s.— The body of Lillian May Cook, an eigh-teen-year-old Brooklyn stenographer for whom the police pt three states have been searching for a week, was found in a lonely part of West Rock Park here. She had killed herself with a revolver taken from the office of the Mayo Radiator company of this city. where she was employed. Twenty minutes after the body had been found Virginius J. Mayo arrived upon the scene. Mayo, while admitting, according to the police, that he was the possessor of a dual personality and that Miss Cook fosmerly had been the employee and companion of Lois Waterbury, who as “Mrs. James Dudley, ' was maintained in a handsome home by him in Brooklyn, had denied emphatically that he knew anything about the whereabouts of his stenographer.

Miss Waterbury, according to Mayo’s story, is the mother of his two children. She was his stenographer until he had her moved to Brooklyn. In this city Mayo maintained another establishment next door to his radiator plant, which is presided over by his wife.

It was while Miss Cook was employed in the "Dudley” household that Mayo, according to the police version of the story, first met her. After taking a course of stenography in Brooklyn, she came to this city and was installed in Mayo’s office. She knew that Mayo and “James Dudley” were the same person, the police assert.

OLD ZEB’S ESCAPE

He Is Arrested as a Moonshiner, but Gets Away. REVENUE MEN ARE FOOLED. * . Clever Trick by the Possum Hunter's Wife Tides Him Over a Rough Spot. The Old Woman’s Rheumatic Cure Saves the Day. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1914, by Associated Literary Press.] I HAD an idea that the old possum hunter was making illicit whisky and that he could lead me to his still if he would, and one day I said to him: z - ‘‘You aren’t afraid that I am a revenue spy, are you?” “Lawd, no!” he laughed. “Tell me about some of your experiences,” I said. He smiled, and it was several minutes before he said: “I got three or four bad scares, but none of ’em was ekal to the one I’m now going to tell you about My still was a small one, and to make any prdfit I had to carry my own kegs away, I had three or four ten gallon kegs, and after a run I’d shoulder one and carry it six miles over the mountain to a sartln place and sell the stuff. One day I brung a keg up to

the house, so's to git an airly start, an’ I find the ole woman lookin’ mighty upsot. “ ‘Zeb White,’ she says, ‘yo’ ar’ gwine to git cotched tonight, as sure’s yer born! If yo’ ar’ jest don’t say nuthin' except that sulphur water is good fur my rheumaticks. Now go on, and may the Lawd be with yo’.’ ” “That was queer talk,” I said. “Powerful quare, sab, but it turned out all right. I’d got about half way over the ridge and was feelin’ that I’d git through all right, when a man suddenly steps out on the path in front of me and cries out fur me to stand. Other men cum up outer the airth, aa it was, and I knowed I’d been took. I stood still and sez: “ ‘Wall, who is it and what’s wanted?’

“‘Do yo’ surrender, Zeb White?’ “‘ln co’se, but what d’ye want?’ '“We want yo’, sah, and we’ve got yo’ at last! Bin layin’ fur yo’ fur three months past’ “As I walked along with ’em 1 knowed they had a dead case on me. They had a camp not fur away; and when we reached it I made out that there was five men in the crowd. They was jest tickled to death, too, over my captur’. They took the keg off my shoulder and put handcuffs on me, and I heard one of ’em say I would git at least two y’ars in prison. Bimeby the boss o' the gang lifts up the keg and smells of it and sez:

“ ‘Zeb, yo’ must hev put a heap of water in this whisky!’ “Then another man smells o’ the keg. then and purty soon I seed they was puzzled. Bimeby I see one of ’em pulls out a gimlet and bores a hole, and when 1 seed what cum out o’ that keg I was so dun knocked out that I couldn’t speak. If it wasn’t? water I’m a possum! The ole woman’s words about sulphur water and rheumaticks hit me all at once, and I begah to laugh. That set the boss of the gang almost wild. He yelled at me: “ ‘Zeb White, yo’ ole reprobate, but I’m a mind to throw yo’ over a cliff! What ar* yo’ doin’ with a keg of water on yo’r shoulder?’ “‘lt’s-fur the old woman’s rheumaticks.’

“I never seed five madder men in all my bo’n days,” laughed Zeb, “and sum of ’em were fur givin’ me the switch As they had no proofs agin me they had to take off the handcuffs and let me go. but I tell yo’ it did hurt their feelin’s to do it When I got home the ole woman sez: “‘Zeb. did yo’ find company on the mountain?’ “ ‘Yes. Five revenue men.' ‘“Did they seem to feel powerful bad about it?’ “ ‘They did, fur suah. When did*yo’ change them kegs on me?’ “‘When you went back to the still. I just felt what was gwine to happen and wanted to save yo’.’ " “That was a sharp trick,’’ I said as the old man refilled his pipe. ’ Couldn t be beat!” he chuckled. “And the next keg o’ whisky all went fur shoes, kaliker and snuff fur her.”

PREFERRED MONARCHY TO REPUBLIC

1 Samuel 8-10—March 1. Israel a Theocracy—Hiimanly a Republic—A Kingdom Preferred —Samuel Offended—The Request Granted. Saul, Son of Kish —His Anointing. “Fear God. Honor the king."—l Peter 2:11. ISRAEL’S government was a theocracy; i. e., God was their King, His Law their government. The elders of each tribe supervised its affairs. God provided a priestly tribe, which represented the people’s religious interests. Prophets and Judges were sent them from time to time as special messengers of the Lord, but without authority except as the people believed their counsels. Thus Israel was, so far as its earthly interests were concerned, a republic, in covenant relationship with God. Our lesson shows that the Israelites did not appreciate their Divinely arranged republic. They beheld the splendor of the nations surrounding them, and thought that because they were different, it was to their disadvantage. Samuel was growing old, and they feared that his sons would succeed him as judges. These sons

were unreliable—“walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, took bribes, and perverted judgment.” The elders of the tribes conferred together, and believed that it would be better to choose from amongst themselves a king,

and thus become more like the nations round about They came to Samuel and told him their desires. Samuel was disappointed, but gave them no answer until he had conferred with. God. The Lord bade him not to be offended—that it was not he who was rejected, but God and His government God was willing to let them have their experiences with kings, and instructed Samuel to inform them fully what would be the consequences. Samuel explained that the would exercise more or less autocratic power and would conscript their sons for servants, for soldiers and for public works; that their liberties would be greatly abridged; that their wealth would more or less flow into the king’s coffers, etc.

Divine Foreknowledge Illustrated. At the appointed time Samuel, having received instructions from the Lord, came in contact with the future king—Saul, son of Kish. A herd of asses having strayed from Kish’s farm, Saul was sent to seek them. After searching in vain, he, called upon the Prophet to ask where the asses were. The answer was that the asses were found, but that Saul was to dine'with the Prophet in an appointed place, where other guests had been invited. The place of honor was given Saul, who was astounded to hear the Prophet speak of him as Israel’s choice for leader. He modestly called attention to the fact that he belonged to a small tribe—Benjamin—and that his family was the least in it. But the Prophet persisted. \ •

The next morning he was directed respecting his journey in such a manner that he would have corroborations of things that the Prophet had intimated. Moreover, he was to have experiences which would make him a changed man. As the two walked together, the Prophet drew forth a vial of oil and poured it upon Saul’s head, anointing him king of Israel by Divine appointment. However, matters were to be kept secret until a later time. Saul’s faith in the Prophet’s declaration was strengthened by. the fulfilment of the experiences foretold. Meeting a company of the school of prophets, he joined in their singing and prophesying. We read, “God gave him another heart, and the Spirit of God came upon Saul, and he prophesied.” The Spirit of God signifies simply an invisible Power from God. Those coming under this : Power acted sometimes In one way and sometimes In another, as they were moved by the Power of Jehovah. Since Pentecost, the impartatlon of the Holy Spirit signifies that

Saul— God’s Choice

for King. vlously, the Spirit signified simply a holy energy by which any person might be used of the Lord to write, to do or to say whatever the Lord wished. Israel’s First King Chosen. In due time, the people came together to Samuel to have the Lord’s will expressed in the choice of a king amongst them. Again Samuel told them the dangers of leaving the simplicity of God’s arrangement and taking up with the monarchial arrangement. But. seeing that they still desired a king, he acted for them and drew lots. Finally the lot fell upon Saul, as Samuel and Saul knew that it would; for they believed that God's hand was in the matter. As the young man—probably seven feet tall, of athletic build—was brought forth, he filled the people’s ideal. They Were pleased with God’s choice.
