IJI3N Hl. UOANIC, INtlMMier. JASPKK. INDIANA. Somehow a compliment is plmslttf. to a womaa. vta when aba knows It Isn't mincer. It's surprising how bwv tut nvor man Ik when there isn't aay real danger in night. A j?irl will forgive t young rann quicker for kissing her against her -Hili than for not being in teres tod cnoug to try. When you ar willing to go in debt for things you don't need, Just usenuso 7or neighbor has them, it's tlraa to slop Wich Russin and Japan, hanging away at the doors of Chlan. the Chinese a waken ins Is not so startling after all. As to that one-armed man who "swam" the whirlpool rapide at Niagara, the credit belongs entirely to a kind Providence. Some peculiarly terrifying form of capital punishment should be devised for the man who shoots a rille bullet at an aeronaut or his balloon. One of the Yanderbllt children carries $2.i.iMH insurance on his toys. "We are wondering whtther the insurance companies permit him to have a hatchet. It will be a great literary triumph for Mr Rockefeller if he realizes as much as ?25.24c.hh) from the sales of his autobiography when it appears finally in book form. It has been suggested that our government send l.' students to Japan to study the people of that country. The Jape have a way of keeping to themsehes, and it Is not proable that they win make an exception for the benefit of Uncle Sam's agents. A startling Instance of mixing government and private business was exposed recently during a congressional Investigation, where it was shown that a secret service agent had been used to run down an erring spouse to soeuro evidence for a divorce. A Japanese saying runs: "Woman is an unmanageable creature; flatter her, she is elated; thrash her, she Tveepeth; hill her. her spirit haunts jou." We would suggest that the best remedy is to love her, is tho comment of tho Indianapolis News. "When you teach children to avoid listing, swapping gum aud eating naif-baked foods and to be clean you Trill be doing something to prevent tuberculosis," declared Dr. S. A. Knopf, of New York, at tho recent convention of the American Medical Association in Chicago. According to the Washington Herald an Iowa man has filed a complaint with the Treasury Department stating that oggs should be classed as poultry. Ellis Parker Butler wrote a book to prove that pigs Is pigs, comments the Louisville Courier-Journal, but a cursory examination sometimes shows that oggs isn't eggs In the present tense. In Paris it is reported that last year closo upon 50,000 horses were killed ior food, this showing In increase of E.000 horses on the figures of the previous year. It would appear, however, to the London Lancet, that the consumers of horseflesh are to bo lound chiefly among tho poor people, who are not able to pay the higher prices for beef or mutton. The wlsor a man Is In politics or businoss the bigger fool he makes of himself when he undertakes to cope with a woman in love writing." asserts tho New York Journal. Thero are a few rules about writing letters which if observed would lessen tho humor of tho courts. One Is never to write to a woman unless you address her In one of the formal tyles which the books of etiquette print at length. The other is. always sign your full name, which has a restrictive effect. The host advice of all is, that whoti a man lias anything to tell a woman he should talk it to her either In person or over the tolophone. If tho child was compelled to loam to swim more than half of tho drownings would never occur, contends the Hartford Courant. Incidentally swimming involves a cleansing procoss which is not undoelrablo. But its primary uiefulnoss Is that it prcvonts drowning. Children should be taught to swim as surely as to walk, it Is In humnn nature to learn, and. when young, to lenrn easily. More would learn if they wore formally taught than can acquire tho art by stealing away, "playing hookey" and otherwise surreptitiously undertaking to teach themselves. Tho neglect to ongraft this practical and vitally nocessary bit of instruction upon our school system la responsible for tho end of misery and heartache.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

The Senior Berean Lesion for 8un day, September 6. SAUL AND JONATHAN SLAIN IN BATTLE. I Sam. 31. Golden ToxL Propare to moot thy Go. Amos 4, 12. The Lesson Text, I Sam. 31. 1. Now tho Philistines fought ngnlnst Israol; and tho men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and foil down slnln In mount Gliboa. 2. And the PhllUtlnes followed hard upon Saul and upon his sous; nud tho Philistines slow Jonathan, and Ablnadab, and Molchishun, Saul's sons. 3. And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers lilt him; and ho was sore wounded of the archers. 4. Then said Saul unto his armorbearer. Draw thy sword, and thrust mo through therewith; lest these uncircuincised cotno and thrust 1110 through and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for ho was $oie afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell upon it. 5. And when his armor-hearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him. G. So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armorbearer. and nil his men, that same day together. 7. And when the men of Israel that were on the other side ot um alley, and they that were on tho sldo Jordan, saw that tho men of Israel tied, and that Saul and his sons wore dead, they forsook the cities, and lied; and tho Philistines came aud dwelt In them. S. And It came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in Mount Gilboa. 9. And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent Into the laud of tho Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among tho people. 10. And they put his armor in the house of Ashtiiroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Bothshan. 11. And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul; 12. All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bothshan. and came to Jabesh, and burnt thorn there. 13. And they took their hones, and hurled them under a tree at Jabosh, and fasted seven days. The Lesson Explained. I. A Disastrous Slaughter. Vers. 1-7. The plain of Esdraelon has beon called "the great battlefield of Palestine. Four decisive battles were fought here. Tho battle of Klshon resulted in the defeat of Slsera, through Deborah and Barak (Judg. 4, 15). At the battle of Moreh, Gideon routed the Mldlnnites (Judg. 7, 22). The battle of Megiddo witnessed the death of Joslah. kmg ot Judah. at the hand of Pharonh-necho (2 Kings 23, 29). Tho battle of Gilboa gave the Philistines a complete victory over the Israelites. The account of this last disaster Is the subject of our lesson. If Saul had gone Into this battle In tho same spirit of bravery with which he had inspired his warriors on former occasions, victory might havo come his way. For ho was occupying a position of much vantage on tho heights of Gilboa. as compared with the Philistine forces, who pitched in Shunem, which was on the slopo of the opposite mountain range. The purpose of the Philistines in this battle was doubtless to take possession of the caravan route to Damascus and tho East, which lay In this vicinity. The location was favorable for Saul, but he was without the unanimous support of his forces aud without the fuvor of Jehovah. The battle soon became desperate, as the opposing armies rushed at each other in bloody contlict. The Israelites were faring badly. Jonathan and two other of Saul's sons fell by their father's side. He himself was soon overpowered by a shower of arrows. Hardly auy of of his followers remained. Fearing to die a disgraceful death at the hand of his enemies, he commanded his armor-bearer to slay him. Whon he refused, through fear of laying violent hands on the Lord's anointed, Saul fell upon his own sword, in an net of suicide. His example was followed by his armor-bearer. Thus five of the military ellto of Israel perished on that fatal field, not to speak of many others, and Israel's life-long enemies were against victorious. II. A Disgraceful Deed. Vers. S-10. On the next morning began the plundor of the slain. Here the horrors o( ancient warfnro were seen at their worst. Their search discovered the hodios of Saul and his sons. These wore rare trophies, especially tho body of the king. Thoy cut off his head and sent it throughout the land of the Philistines, in proof of their decisive victory. His armor they deposited in the temple of Ashtaroth, to proclaim that through this god, they had achieved the victory. The headless corpse thev hung In derision outside tho walls of Bethshan. Tho city had only recently been occupied by the Israelites, but it was now in tho possession of the enemy. This barbarous practice of impaling tho bodies of victims taken In warfare was common to the ancletn world. It showed most conclusively that the disgrace visited upon the vanquished was complete. III. A Debt of Gratitude. Vers. 1113. The Inhabitants of Jnbeshgllcad had not forgotten the heroism of Saul, when ho delivered them from the hands of Nahash. king of tho Ammonites. Not only was this beleaguered city roscuod, but his bravery brought Saul to the front, and he was hailed as the coming deliverer of tho nation. Those citizens thereafter remembered Saul with gratitude, as well they might. The opportunity had now corao nnd they accepted it to give proof of their high regard for him. All tho men of courage detormlned to tomove tho disgrace inflicted on Saul, and his sons. " ' .
