A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE Oh f Hm Twabw Storias of Mnm BY THE "HIGHWAY AND BYWAYPREACHER "^wl^sr®rsnsnicrw!TSg!^^" Scripture Authority 1 Kings 3: 16-28. IBERMONETTE. t “And they feared the king; 0 for they saw that the wisdom 4 of God was In him, to do jbdg* a ment.”—The surest pathway to a power over the hearts of men Is 4 that which runs parallel to the V Divine wilt and purpose. Power over men which finds A its source in God Is first pure, o 1 next unselfish, anc| lastly up- 4 lifting. 9 There is power of men over 7 men and there Is power from A God over men. & The first finds its source in 4 human ambition; the second A comes from union with God. a There Is no grander privilege 4 or greater responsibility than V that of power over one’s fel- 4 lows, if the source and insplra- A tlon of such power rests In God. o Solomon because of his natu- 4 ral gifts, the resources at his 9 command and the station which X he occupied had great power A over men, a power which he O might have used wholly for self- 4 ish ends. X But into the devout heart of X 4 the young king there came a 4 9 realization of a higher power to x x which even a king must bow, X A and in a sublime spirit of mod- 4 o esty and genuine humility he v 4 puts a true estimate on the llm- 4 9 Itations of human, attainments X X and abilities, and sees In the X A unlimited resources of God the 4 Q complement of all human en- 9 4 deavor. X Men in power are feared by A X the people, either for the evil or X 4 the good which do. If 4 9 evil, then a fear inspired by dis- 9 4 trust and a sens£ of injustice, 4 - If good, then a fear born of an A A appreciation of that nghteous- o X ness and justice which operates 4 4 to the benefit and blessirm of x 9 all alike. A X X As in the days of Solomon, so A A is It true to-day, that men are v Q quick to recognize the qualities 4 4 of 'genuine goodness in those X x who are an authority. * X X And notice, it Is the simple, 4 A common incidents of life which 9 o reveal the true qualities of a 4 4 man. Have you not often won- A X dered why an inci-_,o X dent was chosen by the inspired 4 Y writer of the book to prove the § x wisdom of Solomon? There 4 X must have been a multitude of V A incidents more striking and 4 9 more profound, but opt of all, A 4 this story of the (wo harlots A X and their offspring is chosen. 4 X And yet what did it reveal to 9 4 the people as perhaps no other X 9 incident could have done? First A 4 of alt, that wisdom born of God Q ? is not so high or so mighty as 4 J to be above the commonest 9 A things of life, nor so exclusive a A as to shut out the weakest and 4 4 meanest and lowest of God’s 9 9 creatures from share in his 4 4 righteousness and justice. - And 4 A in the next placed, that wisdom A A from God goes deeper than mere 4 4 external evidence, touching the 9 9 very mainsprings of life, and re- 4 4 vealing what tpe deceitful heart A A is striving to cover up. Truly, o a the “foolishness of God is wiser 4 4 than men; and the weakness of 9 9 God is stronger than men.” £ THE’STORrr . ¥) EGONE! Thinkest thou that the D king hath time for such as ye?” and as he spoke jthe gate keeper thrust back the two women who sought entrance to the palace. With a look of pain and disappointment they slunk back Into the shadow of the gateway; and watched with .envious eyes the groups of people passing to and fro through the gate. Their garb proclaimed them as belonging to. - the poorer class, and the certain conditions of dress and bearing Indicated plainly their character and the questionable manner of their life, .and had not the gate keeper been busy with the constant stream of people passing in and out of the palace grounds he might have been curious Ato know what could have brought them -thither. And while they made no-fur-ther attempt-to enter, they lingered near, offering striking contrast to the Important-looking officials who found such ready entrance to the-palace. It was during the early part of King Solomon’s reign that our story opens, and Jjjng and leaders from all over the land were busy effecting that organization which later became the marvel of nations far and-near. With clever foresight he picked leaders from all over the realm an<j gave into their hands the administration of the kingdom, so, that no place was so distant but that it telt,.the impress and stim ulus of the energetic yopng king. Once a year these leaders and the Other officers of the kingdom assembled at Jerusalem to report to the king, and it was at such a time as-..this thal these two women had appeared at the palace pleading that they might see Vino- :• ,1 ..

The rough words and treatment of the gatekeeper caught the notice of one of the officials as he - whs entering, and he paused after passing within the gateway to look back and observe the "women who had thus been so harshly repulsed. Something In the expression on the face of one of the women.aroused his curiosity and he retraced his steps to her side and' inquired of her what she desired. Scarcely had she begun to speak when the other broke in with her story and he soon saw that it was some sort of a controversy between the two over the little babe which one ; woman carried upon her bosom, and > upon which the other woman ceased ; not for a moment to keep her eyes. ' The humorous side of the situation | appealed to the official, and after lingering a few moments and failing to obtain anything save a superficial understanding of the matter, he turned, and with an amused expression on his face he again entered the palace courtyard and was soon mingling with the groups of men who had assembled in the king’s afidience hall. The king had not yet ascended his throne, and the buzz of conversation filled the great hall as the officials talked of the various matters which were to be brought before the king. , As the last comer entered and joined himself to a group standing not far from the throne he was greeted with the inquiry: “And what errand brlDgs you thither?” And then one of the group, noticing the half-amused expression which had not yet left his face, spoke up and said: “Surely it is a pleasant message which Nahshon hath for the king this day.”i ' And thus challenged, the man addressed went on with great gusto to .relatel tt* .incident which bad-just transpired at the outer gate. “It iwas not quite clear to me whether or not the women purposed to present, the king with the babe, and eacli was contending for the honor of so doing.” “And tb think that they should au) pose that the king had time or thought for such as they or for matters such as might come between them.” The words of the last speaker wers spoken with a rising inflection, showing the contempt which he felt at so absurd a proposition, and during the momentary hush which had fallen they rang out clear and distinct, so that the king, entering at that moment, overheard what was said. Instantly upon the appearance of the king there was a hush, and everything else was forgotten in the formalities of receiving and paying hom age to their lord. For some moments after the formal cerenloiftes were over xbe young king remained silent, thoughtfully contemplating the assembly .of the chief men before him. “What think you,” be asked at length, “Is the most Important matter to come before us? Is the kingdom greater than the rights of the individual?” - Puzzled by the wordß of the king, the officials before him remained si lent. And again the king spoke. “Should not the king have time for any who desire judgment rendered?” 2s Again there whs silence. Then, turning his eyes upon the official who was speaking when he entered, he asked: “And who is it that is beneath the thought of the king?’’ In great confusion and trepidation the, man mumbled something, and then Nahshon, grasping the treed of the king’s mind and heart, boldly stepped;' forward and recounted with po spirit of ridicule, now, the story Os the two women who had been waiting at the gate' that morning. “We shajll do nothing this day until the cade of these two women is heard” ejaculated the king. Instantly one of the king’s close advisers stepped to his side and Whispered, in his ear something at which the king impatiently shook his head and exclaimed, so that all in the room heard: “What if they aFe? —Have set evenJthe harlots need of the righteous judgment of the king?” And then turning to one of the messengers standing near he commanded the women to be sought out and brought in forthwith. Had ever such a thing come to pass before in'lsrael, the pbief men asked themselves that day as they left the audience chamber and departed for the different portions of. the kingdom? Surely the wisdom and justice of God rested on their king that even the lowest and most despised should be able to come to him and find help. And everywhere throughout the kingdom the story spread of the two women and the disputed babe, and the judgment which the king had judged: and all Israel feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment.

Interior Arrangement. TffiHORSEBOTIFLY The horse bot fly is a species of gadfly; but it is not the flies themselves or their eggs that actually cause the- mischief or trouble, but the mag; gots, grubs, or bots that result from the eggs. Horses that are turned out to grass for long periods are the most likely to be troubled with bots, animals that are frequently handled and worked taking very little risk, a curious fact being that where a number of horses are crazing together animals of a dark color are Invariably selected by the flies on which to deposit their eggs In preference to those having light-colored skins. In the summer, and especially during the month .of August, the flies are very busy, and dart about with great rapidity, with the result that the female flies are not long in ascertaining the whereabouts of grazing horses. The female flies buzz about the front of the horse they select, frequently settling for a few seconds on the animal’s breast; forelegs, shoulders and other parts within reach of the animal's tongue, during which time its eggs are laid or deposited, and each one sticks or adheres to the hair by means of a glutinous fluid with which

Various Stages of Bot Fly’s Life. rarely that flies deposit their eggs on parts other than those within reach of the horse’s tongue, and the tickling sensation caused by the fly settling induces the animal to lick at these parts, with the result that the warm saliva from the tongue loosens many of the eggs, which are taken into the mouth and afterwards swallowed with the food the animal subsequently consumes! A number of eggs deposited by the flies may hot, of 1 course, be removed from the hair when the animal licks itself at this stage, but they still adhere where they were deposited, and in about a week maggots will be hatched and will emerge'! from the eggs. The maggots cause an itching sensation, with the result that the horse again licke or bites itself at these parts', and the maggots are conveyed into the mouth, and subsequently into the stomach, the eggs That were previously taken into the stomach having by this time also produced maggots. On arriving in The horse’s stomach the maggots , attach themselves to itsilining membrane or skin by means of two hooks with which *each is provided in the head end. Once the maggots are attached to the

In the plan of this barn, provision is made for collecting the manure below and having it removed regularly by wagon or in manure spreader to the fields. A hillside may be selected for the site, as this secures a more solid foundation and gives easy access on two levels. Loads of hay can be driven Into the middle of the alley and taken up by sling carriers. Along each side and behind the horses and the cows are slicing doors between every 2x6, with an additional 2x6 to make plenty of room for the manure to go through. Along the sides of the center alley are grain boxes running the entire length of the barn, with the water troughs under them.. The barn is 40x50 feet. P ”r * horse’s stomach it is impossible to remove them, drugs and medicines being useless. The maggots or grubs remain In the horse’s stomach until theyare fully grown and developed, this occupying about tea months, daring which time they increase In size from about one-twentieth of an inch to as much as three-quarters of an inch long, the whole of their substance and nourishment being obtained from.the mucus of tie animal’s stomach. When the grubs are fully grown they release their hold on the horse’s stomach and are passed out with the excreta, and after a short • time turn Into chrysalises about five-eighths inches long, of shrivelled appearance and nearly black in color. After remaining in the chrysalis state for six or seven weeks the winged bot fly emerges from the shell, and the female flies, becoming Impregnated, speedily deposit their eggs as previously described, and thus the bots and bot flies are perpetuated. The accompanying sketches illustrate the various stages and periods of development of the bot fly, most of them being considerably magnified, Fig. 1 showing the eggs of the fly adhering to horse-hair. The eggs are oval in shape, almost transparent, and of cream color, and not much larger than clover seeds, covered with a large number of transverse lines, as shown; and each egg- is fitted with a kind of lid, which is displaced by the grub when It emerges, as shown in Fig. 2. The grubs Or maggots are provided with a pair of black hooks/with which they fasten themselves to the horse’s stomach, as shown in Fig. 3, small marks or depressions being left in the coating of the stomach when the grubs release their hold, as at A. The chrysalises (Fig. 4) should bg destroyed whenever they are discovered amongst manure. Fig. 5 shows the bot fly -that - emerges from th© chrysalis shell, and which deposits the eggs on the hair of the animals attacked. Steer Feeding.—The Pennsylvania station hhs made some interesting experiments 4n\ttie vhtee of suiter for steers being fed. It was found that if the lots were kept dry, shelter is not always necessary. Shelter has very little effect upon the appetite of the animals except In extreme weather. In that climate it is seldom that the weather is too cold for steers on full feed out doors provided they are kept in dry . quarters and out of strong winds. It is very essential for fattening steers that they' be well bedded. It is deeidedly advantageous that the yard be macadamized or given an imprevious coating of some kind to prevent mud during soft weather. Wet bedding and.mud.dy yards are more Jnjurious than extreme cold. The amount of feed required per pound of gain is-practically the same whether the steers are kept in a warm basement stable or outside. Building the Hen House.—A poul : try house may be as tightly built as a ship yet not be comfortable. The north, east and west sides and the roof ©f the building should be windproof, but the south side should be constructed so that the windows may be opened, or should be equipped with cloth-filled frames so that fresh air may be admitted without causing a draft. Trim the Eweq.—lf the ewes become at all foul about the hind quarters they should be trimmed at this time.;' There are many cases where a weak lamb doesn't get the proper nourishment at birth* if the ewes have not been trimmed and occasionally the death of lambs may be traced to this cause. Remove Tusks from Boar.—While preparing the old boar for service it is a good plan to remove his tusks if this has not already been done. A littlf precaution in this matter will oftep. prevent severe injuries to the plan who handling the boar. , Water for . Hogs.—See that the hogs get plenty of good fresh, water as theysuffer as much or more from thirst than any other kind of animal kept OB the farm.

SHAFT TO OIL KING RICH TEXAN PREPARING HONOR FOR JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER •l—- ---■-— *r —-“gy :' ■" A. 0. Lst Believes Multi-Millionaire la Greatest Man In the World— Wants Him to Run for President Houston, Tex. —John D. Rockefeller need not wait until he reaches the spirit land to have a monument raised to his virtues. He will be able to stand in propria persona before the statue which will hand down his name to posterity and realize something of ths impression the memento will make on future generalons. True, he has raised costly structure* which stand to-day as monuments to his philanthropy. But this particulai monument will be different Mr Rockefeller was not consulted in this matter, and the memorial will rise as a voluntary tribute from one of hi* admirers. A. G. Lee of Denton, Tex„ is the man who is erecting the Rockefellei monument Somebody asked him why the other day and Mr. Lee showed plainly that his ideas on the subjecl were emphatic and deeply rooted. “Why?” he answered; “why, be cause John D. Rockefeller is the greatest man in the world. I wish they could get him to run for president on the Democratic ticket next year. He’d be elected sure.” Mr. Lee is tall and straight, keeneyed and shrewd looking. He is rich, too, and fs looked upon as a person of consequence in his home section. He dresses plainly, explaining that he is too busy to*bother about clothes, but there is something in his bearing which marks him as a man above the ordinary. He owns a hostelry at Denton, which he has named the “John D.

Rockefeller hotel,” another mark of his esteem - for the oil king. Besides, blh firm conviction as to Mr. Rockefeller’s right to an antemortem monument, Mr. Lee has equally strong ideas about how the monument should be built. In fact, he has superintended the work as far as it has gone, and he has helped with his own hands on the foundation. For months Mr. Lee’s teams have been busy hauling stones of*all sizes to a farm two miles from Denton, where the memorial is being erected. These stones range in size from pebbles to great boulders. • I In the language of Me. Lee, ■'‘Every rock in the pile stands for a noble c eed Mr. Rockefeller has done.” Surmounting i the rugged foundation will l e a heroic statue of Mr. Rockefeller, Sd about its base four tablets will tell his good works. * Lee expects to j spend $15,000 on the statue itself. He has ordered" is from a bronze-casting firm in New York, but of this particular feature he declines to talk. It is evident that, he is. planning to surprise his neighbors when the statue comes along. The unveiling Ceremony is to be one ot Texas’ great occasions, according to Mr. Lee. It is to be held next spring, and, if present plans of the monument builder work out, Mr. Rockefeller and his family will, It is expected, be present at the ceremony. Mr. Lee’s office at his hotel, where he has his business headquarters, is littered with plans for the memorial, d4 signs for the statue and suggestions for the tablets which are to stand at the base. Jokers have had their fun Bendiihg in inscriptions which they think ought to be placed on the tablets, but it Is 'evident that Mr. Lee himself will attend to that without outside aid. Border lines of dollar marks, are favorite decorations with the volunteer inscription writers, and references to Standard Oil make up a large percentage of the suggested tributes. But the monumeht maker will have none of them. Inasmuch as Mr. Lee says that his monument is, in part, the result of a desire to refute the harsh things said agajpst Mr. Rockefeller by his critics, it is quite likely that the inscription work will be devoted to a defense of the subject’s methods. His ample fortune, which is variously estimated by his neighbors, has giyen the monument maker afi opportunity to copy his hero’s philanthropy. erecting the memorial, ho IS credited with many other kind deeds, but, like his model citizen, Mr. Lea U carcf il >f hie- <uud.

Let me tell you why Sloan’s Liniment and Veterinary Remedies are the safest and most practical on the market to-day In the first place. Dr. Earl S. Sloan is the son of a veterinary surgeon, and from his earliest infancy he was associated with horses. He bought and sold horses while yet very young. He practiced as a veterinary for 20 years and has battled successfully with every disease to which that animal is subject. All his remedies are the result of experiments made to save life or relieve suffering while he was practicing his profession. Any' reader, by writing to Dr. Earl S.
