and said, How shall we, who are sore
wearied with much fighting all day. from
the rising of the sun unto the going down
new army which cometh fresh against us?
Go to- let us therefore make haste and
flee to our ships before all are slain, il
so be that some may escape alive and
come again to the King.
So they turned and fed to their ships,
but che Alamites pursued them and slew
yet great number; and some they slew
even in the waters of the sea.
Then they that escaped alive to the
ships made haste and fetched a compass
and came again to their own country;
howbeit some that were wounded died
while they were yet al sea.
Now when King Manachek beheld how
few they were who returned out of the
many who had gone forth, his soul was
sick within him. and he cried out with
a loud and bitter cry.
And he rent his clothes. and tore his
hair, and put on sackcloth and threw
ashes on his head; and he lay down in the
dust and took no meat or drink for two
days and two nights; and ne refused to
be comforted.
And at the end of two days and two
nights the King arose and washed his face
and combed his hair and put on clean raj
ment and took meat and drink
And Manachek, the King lived 91S wears
and reigned four hundred and four-score;
and being old and full of years he died,
and Topad his son, reigned in his stead.

that all saloons shall close al 10 O'Clock

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
ST Petersburg. April A-The students,
save always the fanatical irreconcilable
minority. regard the appointment of Gen.
Vannoffsky as minister of education by
the gracious rescript OF the Gar in which
the need of reforms and improvements is
emphaticalIy admitted. as n great victory
and are inclined to throw no difficulties
Ia the way of the new minister and new
policy.
1t is related that at the ministerial
council, which preceded by twenty-four
hours the announcement of the appoint
ment. mis- majesty made an unusually
long address or led the long and earnest
discussion personally. He is said to have
set forth the existing defects in the edu-
cational system and to have declared that
the fact that some of the best and most
conservative families were involved in the
university lamentations and that the dis
turbances extended from one end of the
empire to the other made IL impossible TO
accept unreservedly the view held in some
quarters that the blame lay entirely upon
one side. His Majesty then invited Gen.
Fannoffsky to speak and the aged ex-
minister of war explained the results of
his inquiry two years ago and during the
last few weeks.

Any they told unto the king all the
things which King Chez had charged
them to say.
Then the king inquired of them. say
ing, Saw we aught of their temples and of
their worship? Worship they upon affairs
and in temples like unto our affairs and
temples, and serve they our gods?
Then answered they saying. o king far
be II from thy servants that they should

ter.
We have seen the temples and the all
tars and the worship of these people; their
affairs and their temples differ from our
affairs and our temples, and they serve
strange gods.
Then the king rent his clothes and said
How shall l. who am a true believer and
serve the true gods, take for wife 10 my
son the daughter of an heather?
And he was sore perplexed. But after
he had weighed the matter he spake
again, saying:
This shall we do. Choose OF my priests
who are wise in doctrine, and of my cum
ming artificers In wood and in stone, and
go again to King Chez.
And ye shall say unto him that /, his
brother. entreat that he will permit you
to build a temple and erect affairs to the
end that when my son shall go to see
his daughter, he may find temple
wherein he may worship according
to the belief and custom of his fathers.
And the priests shall offer their sacri-
flces and expound their doctrine, so that
peradventure the people of the Alamites
and Chez, their King, when they shall
learn of these things, may haply forsake
their false gods and cleave to the true
ones.
And as the King commanded, so 1t was
done.

presents for the King of the Alamites as
Manachek, the king, had commanded. and
they took leave of the King and departed
for long time they Journeyed and
they began to despair of finding the conn
try of the Alamites; but at the end thew
came there, and their despair was turned
to rejoicing
For the king of that country, (now the
name of the king was Chez received
them with joy, and entreated them with
great kindness. and spake words OF good
cheer unto them
And they gave unto the king the mes.
sage King Manachek had given them
likewise the presents of fine raiment Gu
rious carvings, and of nuts, dates and
pomesranates, and of strong wine.
And King Chez marveled greatly at all
these things, and when he had drunken az
the strong wine his soul was made mer-
ry within him.
And he caused them to sit down to a
great banquet every day and every oay
there were feasts and festivals and spec-
tacles of dancing men and women. And
the king showed them his treasures ana
his palaces and all his possessions
And they made merry, and wearied not
OF marveling at the riches and glory of
King Chez. and of his people
Now at the end of ten days they com
muned one with another and said. Go 10
why tarry we here any longer? Let us
therefore see the king and entreat him
that we may return again to our own
country lest our dord the king weary al
our long absence.
So they saw King Chez and when they
had asked him these things. he said unto
them. Go IN peace.
And he sent unto King Mauachek pres
ents of precious stones. the ruby, the en-
erald, the sapphire and the topaz. and
the precious stones were IN vessels OF gold
and OF silver.
And he sent moreover presents Of san
dal-wood. and OF figs and oranges and OF
other fruits.
And when all was ready. he said unto
them, Thus shall We say unto your lord

AsuREwp APPLE DEALER.

A prominent farmer i IL this section,
il is claimed. is one of the worst beat
men in the Valley. The gentleman
in question owned one e the largest
crops Of fine apples, aud Chicago APP
pie buyer called upon him to purchase
the fruit. After some parleying tits said
that the buyer offered the farmer $3.50
for the crop and ii contract was sign
ed conveying the property TO the
buyer. Shortly after the agreement
was made and closed another gentle
man dealing in apples called upon the
farmer, and, after examining the or
chaId offered the farmer $1,000 for
the CROP and would pick the apples
aud deliver them to town. SO shock
ed was the poor man over his loss in
the deal that he now claims he will
think twice before he speaks and the
apple man is also wise one.
