by Moses: but his work as a cOnuuerOr
 of the enemies of Gods people was not
 yet completed, and as man of war it
 was not fitting that he should build
 the House of God. He prepared the
 nation for Solomon's reign of peace,
 collected materials and made arrange
 ments for the great work, but it was
 by divine appointment that his son,
 solomon, "peaceable," type of the
 Prince of Peace, should execute the
 plans, being endowed with the highest
 gifts of divine wisdom ever bestowed
 upon man. AS it is written: And
 God gave Solomon wisdom and under
 standing exceeding much, and large
 ness of heart, even as the sand that is
 on the sea shore. And Solomon's wis
 dom excelled the wisdom of all the
 children of the east, and all the wis
 dom of Egypt, and his fame was in all
 the nations round about.''
 It is interesting to note that the Gentle world participated in this great work of building a house for the name of the Lord. The Hebrew nation had been peculiar, exclusive people. But apparently the time had come in the divine plans for the regeneration of the world, when the seed of should come into larger re- latiOns to other nations and peoples, that all the children of earth might be enlightened and blessed by the revela- tion of the truth, justice, and mercy of the one living and covenant keeping God. And Hiram, king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever lover of David. And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace be- tween Hiram and Solomon, and they two made league together.
 And so it was that Hiram, king of Tyre, furnished materials and skilled workmen for the building of the Tem- pie, 'timber of cedar and timber of | fir" and Solomon gave Hiram wheat 1 for his people and pure oil in exchange. And King Solomon raised a levy out 'f all Israel; and the levy was 3O,O0O nen. And he sent them to Lebanon, ;en thousand month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon and two months at home. and AdOniram was 'ver the levy. And Solomon had hrec score and ten thousand that are burdens, and four score thousand hat were hewers in the mountains, 'eSldeS SolOmOn's chief officers that we're over the work, three thousand nd three hundred, which bare rule yer the people that wrought in the 'ork. And the king commanded, and hey hewed out great stones. costly tones, to lay the foundation of the ouse with wrought stone. And Solo, lon's builders and Hiram's builders nd the Gebalites did fashion them, nd prepared the timber and the stones :, ) build the house, ''So was he seven ears in building it.''
 In this bit of sacred history we find le origin of the Ancient Order of Free nd Accepted Masons.
 IN PLAIN MASONIC TERMS,
 noting from Gray's Mystic Circle, h Solomon engaged the cooperation of f iram, king of Tyre, and of the most ,illful artist of that or any other age, c iram Abif, as his assisting Grand O aster of the work. Under these u ere 300 princes, $500 expert Master W asons, as overseers, sO,OoO sculptors p

 Moreover, there must have been in those seven years of labor, accidents, injuries, disease and death among so many wOrkmen. No doubt there were then as now, widows and orphans who would need to be supported by the generous gifts of the craftsmen.
 And let us bear in mind that Solo, mon was the earthly head and chief executive of the church of God, and that the work in which they were en- gagged was the building of the house or the Lord. Indeed, may we not in truth say that it was a religious work which they were organized to per- form?
 O1 one thing we are sure, that whether Solomon was or was not the founder of free masonry as we know 1t; freemasonry is certainly founded upon the fact of sacred history which l we have considered; and the wisdom or Our Most Excellent King Solomon IS the foundation of all our work.
 Concerning the history of the order have little to say. Antiouity is not necessary to it's character or useful ness, though it may illustrate the per- manence and importance of the prin- clples on which it is founded. There are those who believe that this or similar order existed before the aoe )1 solomon: that it was known tO tho Pharaohs in Egypt and that the pvra- mas and other ancient Structures were the workmanship of this ancient 'ratt. And some would trace it to jhe erection of the tower of Babel and wen to the building of Noah's ark.

Again the servant Question.

The Woman's Club Is at last having
its effect on the servant question, but
1t is not exactly the effect that the
clubites wished TO produce. 1t was last
week that n suburban housekeeper had
this fact borne in upon her. She had
advertised for a cook, and the plump
colored girl who came in response
looked n very capable person indeed;
but-she must have two evenings OF
week, she said.
Two evenings exclaimed Mrs.
Blank; why, ii has been customary
with me to allow my maids only every
Thursday and every other Sunday
evening. ! cannot agree TO do more
than that for you"
I'm very sorry, but can't come
then" said the plump one with deci-
sion. you see, my whist club meets
on Monday evening and my literary
club on Fridays. and must have the
afternoons of these days to study rules
and prepare my papers," and before
Mrs. Blank could get her breath suffi-
GENTLY to ask whether 1t was Bridge"
that was played. and what author the
literary club was pursuing at that mo-
ment the sable damsel stalked out of
the room In stately dignity and the OPP
portunity was lost.

Any one who has seen bear walk
knows how slowly he seems to move,
and his run Is shuffiing, numbering
gait that is comical to witness, unless
he happens to be running after you.
But bear moves pretty fast, notwith-
standing appearances, and the grizzly.
which looks to be clumsier than the
brown or black bear, can cover ground
faster than the average saddle-horse.
A Philadelphia exchange prints this
story of an Arizona sheep-rancher:
He was riding In the foothills when
he saw a big. awkward silverhp. He
had rife, but was not certain he could
kill the bear at one shot, and knew that
he would get into trouble If he missed.
So he gave a regular cowboy yell, and
the bear started away In alarm. The
man gave chase, at the same time
keeping up the piercing yell, and he
soon noticed that the grizzly was get
ting farther away. He continued the
chase for nearly two miles. until the
bear disappeared In the mountains,
and he had not gained foot.
In going back along the trail, he motto.

jumps of fifteen or twenty feet, and the
ground had been cut up by his claws SO
that 1t looked as II harrow had been
run over 1t. 1t is evident that a man
would have no show running a foot
race with a grizzly.

Trapping a Professor by Wire.

Among some intensely amusing col
legescrapes told by "A Graduate" in
the Ladies' Home Journal, Is the story
OF a certain professor, not much liked
by his pupils. who was to be married.
The lady lived in Cleveland. And the
studnts that loved % him were not, of
course, invited. But they determined
that in some way he should hear from
them. And he did. On the day ap-
pointed the professor took the train at
10 a. H., due 10 arrive at Cleveland ut
