one day." In the 18th verse slur OF the
and dominion Of Jehovah is proclaimed
by prophet as the ground and explana-
ton Of the coming slaughter and 'destruc-
ton Of their grand army.
But In the 18th chapter OF ii. Chroni-
cles is related a story of battle and
slaughter which distances this. and re-

boam. King of Israel. and Abejah. King
Of judah, the latter being son Of Reno

the great division took place. In verse
three the size Of the armies is stated-viz.,
Of judah 100000, Of Israel 10000. The ad-
dress of Abijah to the army Of his ad-
versary. which preceded the battle. is
given in verses Alp, inclusive; the battle

boam presumably on heavy battalions"
and strategy. (See verses and 49,
The entire address of Abijah is a de-
and emphasis of the same
point (See notably verses 10 and 10 He

A Good Bee Dog.

Mr.. Dan w. Scott, of Pine Grove, has
wonder in the way of a bee dog. Any
one who has ever lived or visited in the
country knows what nest of humble
bees amount to when stirred up, and
the man who could face a regiment OF
soldiers in battle, or the dog that would
attack a grizzly bear, could not always
stand his ground when exposed to the
fire of a well-regulated bumhle-bee
camp. However, Mr.. SCOTS shaggy
shepherd dog is an exception to the gen
eral rule of dogs. He not only never
retreats, but does not desist until he
has killed every bee at home, and all
that come in range. He kills the bees
by swapping them.-Lexington (Ky.j

GIVING HIS RELIGION A TEST.
How Southerner Ascertained if He
Was Fit to Join Church.
CIV ashington Star.

L was away upon the head waters of
the Big Sandy recently" said the shoe
drummer. and discovered something
new, even in that sand of yesterdays
and eventlessness. 1 was riding along
a creek valley where l was told lived q
mountain preacher who had a practical
idea of what religion should DO for
those who experienced it, and had
adopted odd ways of putting his ideas
into practice. AS [ reached a rise in
the road 1 saw at the bottom a young
man driving a pig into a potato patch,
and before l could reach him he had
followed the pig through the narrow
gate and was trying to drive it out
again. 1t struck me as a peculiar pro-
ceeding, and when 1 came opposite the
gate l pulled up my horse and sat
watching the young fellow and the pig
IF you never tried to get a pig out of
potato patch you can form no idea of
what a job it is, and as l watched this
young mountaineer patiently chasing
the pig hither and yon, getting it we'll
headed toward the gate only to have it
double on him and go back into the
patch again, time after time, I began
to wonder what manner of youth this
was that had come into the mountains.
Finally he brought it over very care
fully and as he got it almost out it
gave az SUDDEN SFunL. anu uOuS6, anu
into the patch again it went.
"'Gosh darn that hog he said, puff
fling and blowing and hopping his face
with his shirt sleeve.
why didn't you say that before?'
[ asked laughing.
g Excuse me, stranger" he said,
noticing me for the first time, I didn't
see you was thar and he blushed vio-
lently and seemed to be greatly con-
fused.
"'Oh, that's all right I FASTENED to
say. L only wonder you didn't cuss the
lard out of him.
well, I reckon I don't ker a durn,'
he said I done the best knowed.'
"'How do you mean? [ inquired,
catching an idea of the situation all at
once.
You don't know it, I reckon, bein'
a stranger in these parts, he said, but
Elder Martin sot me to dom that to
