Two DOyish Warriors.

It was only little shepherd boy,
YOU will remember. who delivered the
Israelites from the hands OF the Phil
istnes, and saved his nation In time
of serious peril. The youth David
went out alone and almost empty
handed. when all the warriors OF the
army were afraid. and he slew the
great giant Goliath of Gath. whose
height the Bible tells us. was six cu-
bits and a span. This boy was born
fighter. for, before he slew the giant
he had killed a bear and lion, When
they tried to stel his fathers sheep.
But in later times, as well. there
have been several young warriors who
made great names for themselves, such
for instance. as Alexander, who won
the battle OF the Ceranicus at twenty
two years of age The great Napoleon
was a lieutenant of artillery before ne
was eighteen. ard a young man whef
he commanded the armies OF Italy
