this was ball, and deduce from this the con-
clusion that the figure is that of an Ephebus

This theory accords with all the peculiarities OF

Although the bronze statue was discovered

chance altogether escaped injury, and the nu-

He first constructed a sort Of skeleton, on

forthcoming in the case Of the Hermes Of Prax-
iteles, it is obviously impossible to speak with
absolute certainty, but it requires no profound
acquaintance with the individual character
istics of the old Greek sculptCrs to enable US to
recognize in this beautiful figure probable
work Of Lysippus, the last of the famous fourth
century trio, of which the other two were
Praxiteles and Scopas.
In addition to the bronzes the divers recov-
cred some forty-fve Ufesize marble statues, SO
badly injured by the action of the water and
the ravages Of shellfsh as to be utterly devoid
either of beauty or archaeological value Among
them it has been possible to recognize the huge
Farnese Hercules of Lysippus, known by the ex-
tant copy at Naples, and the Apollo Sauroctonus
and Venus of Cnidus of Praxitees.
With regard to the period when the vessel
carrying this strangely assorted cargo was
wrecked in the stormy seas that wash the south
ern coast of Greece, the statues themselves af-
ford some fairly conclusive evidence. To begin
with, the presence of so many bronzes on board
makes it extremely unlikely that the ship can
have foundered later than Roman times, fos
by the beginning Of the Middle Ages those Greea
bronzes which had escaped the wholesale spolia-
ton Of generations of Roman generals, pro-cOn-
suls and eInperors had been ruthessly seized
upon for their valuable metal by the ignorant
and degenerate inhabitants, and melted down
for their own base purposes. Further, many Of
the bronzes show the plainest signs of having
been wrenched from their places, for the masses
of lead that served to attach them to their ped
estals still adhere to their feet, which conclus
siveIy proves that this cargo of looted art
treasures, torn from their shrines by some
Roman spoiler, and strangely mixed with a
shipload of new shop copies acquired by hirp
in Greece.

1.-The Hermes of Praxiteles may well tremble
for bis laurels. for surely the world holds no
more glorious statue than this splendid youth,
whose godlike head and magnificent proportions
seem to ernbody ones highest ideal of manly
beauty The lifelike expression Of the noble face
is heightened by the colored enamel eyes; the
crisply curling hair grows low on the typical
Grecian brow, but in upward direction; the
nose practically continues the line of the fore
head; the lips parted, ana the deiicately
balanced head is inclined slightly to the right
The main weight OF the body is thrown on to the
left foot which c firmly planted, while the right
knee is bent, and only the ball of the foot rests
lightly on the ground. The elastic and graceful
poise of the body and the fine curves OF the
arms-one outstretched and the other hanging
loosely with half closed fingers, by his side
give such an impression of agility and life that
were the beautiful bronze to turn into flesh and

would scarcely feel surprise. The whole pose.

forth the story of his awful guilt and
of his heartfelt repentance. Tt must
be remembered that in writing this
Psalm David set before the whole
people the story of his fall, for the
Psalms were written to be used in the
choral worship of Jehovah; and in
putting his own experience into this
form, David not only proclaimed to
his own generation, but transmitted
to all posterity the memory of his
guilt.
Forgiveness.-The Psalm which is
before us not only reveals David's
repentance for his great sin, but
it also hints at what is still more
clearly expressed in our next lesson,
namely, David's assurance of the di-
vine forgiveness. He is firm in the
confidence that God will not despise
a broken and a contrite heart, and
he stands ready to praise the Lord
for the restoration to divine favor
which he feels sure will be his.
A Practical Lesson.-The great
emphasis which this story of David's
confession places upon the impor-
tance of humble repentance and
open acknowledgment of our sins be-
fore God and man, should not be
overlooked. We are all prone to sin;
so let us realize that, when we have
sinned, the only road to peace with
God lies in a full confession of our
guilt and in simple reliance upon
his pardoning mercy.

David's Confession.
psalm 81: 1-17.)


coIJen Text: Create in me a
.7aon heart. O God. Cps. 81: 1O)
We come now to the darkest
,riod in all the life of David. Out
rardly the king was prosperous and
.nccessfuI. He had thoroughly es-
+obI;sbed himself in his kingdom,
lad overcome the enemies of Israel,
and was in the full tide of power.
Wit With prosperity, however, there had
aomo @ = Weakening of his moral char
octpr and in his inward life there
was q hidden sore, which bade fair
70 wreck his very soul.
Davids Great Sin.-In an un-
r-.rv moment temptation of the
MOST seductive kind had come to
Dovid Instead of sternly repelling
tbp suggestion of evil, David cher
;sbed the sinful desire in his heart
nnriI he had yielded to the tempta-
tion, and had become an adulterer
in deed as well as in thought. Then
in vain effort to conceal his crime
he added a foul and treacherous MUIR
der to the score against him.
The Prophet Nathan's Rebuke.-
Il was a brave and fearless thing
which Nathan did, in bring
inc home to David's soul the enor-
mitv of the double crime which he
had committed. Great skill and tact
also did the prophet display in tell
ING the simple but touching parable,
whose application was so pertinent
that it needed but the words "Thou
art the man. to make David realize
that he was himself the wicked man
whose portrait had been drawn in
such vivid colors in the parable.
Repentance.-It is characteristic
of David that though he sinned most
grievously, yet he was most sincere
in his repentance.
The depth and sincerity of his
repentance cannot be questioned, for
the Lord accepted his contrition as
genuine, and received him again into
the divine favor,
Few men have sinned as deeply as
did David, but few have also re
pented with the same earnestness
as he showed. Some have questioned
how David could be described as a
man after Gods own heart, in view
OF the awful series of crimes which
ne committed at this period of his
!te The solution to this difficulty
IS found not in minimizing the guilt,
but IN correct appreciation of the
repentance Of David. The main
stream Of David's life ran in har-
m7ony with the will of God, and
@7ough at times he departed from
DONG the divine will, yet he turned
al last 50 rosolutely from his sin,
u2i It showed him to be a man of
noble purpose, whose aspirations
were heaycnward, in spite of oc-
'aSionaI Iapscs into sin.
Oontcsslou-David witnessed the
sincerity OF his repentance by a full

A Bank at Hill City.

d. w. Webster Of Custer, vice presi-
dent of the Custer County Bank spent
several days in the city during the week
in which he completed all the necessary
arrangements for the perfecting of the
bank organization and took steps for the
opening of the Hill City bank as soon as
possible. This bank will be a branch of
the two popular and well known finan.
cial institutions, the Pennington County
Bank and the Custer County Bank, so
that the financial backing is the very
best. The banks capital is ten thousand
dollars. of which o good many shares
have been taken by the business men OF
Hill City and by prominent mining men
and stockmen of this part of the country
who gladly welcome the opening of a
bank here and assure it of their hearty
support. The cashier of the bank will
be ID. w. Webster, who in the early
days was engaged in the grocery BUSH
ness with S. M. Booth at Custer. He is
a most genial and pleasant man who is
we'll known by all old timers.-Hill City

The report was current on the street
the forepart Of the week that the reser-
yoir from which the town of Custer is
dependent for their water in case Of fire
was nearly empty. We made inquiry
and found there was more truth than
poetry in the report, but we could not
ascertain positively at whose door to lay
the fault. 1t was stated as a reason for
this dangerous and deplorable state OF
affairs that the supply of gasoline was
exhausted and the pump had to stop.
This we consider no good reason at all,
as such a thing should never occur.
There is no occasion for it, and it betrays
gross negligence on the part of some one
in whose hands this department has
been intrusted. We hope it will never
occur again.

The Fire.

On Tuesday night, January 18th, a fire
occurred in the saw and planning mill be.
longing 10 the M. j. Bailey Co., and the
building was burned to the ground. The
mill was situated on the corne of 10th
and Washington street, and formerly be-
longed to Mr.. M. A. Upton. The fire
broke out at IL o'clock OF night when
most everybody was asleep, and this
must account for the 20 minutes which
elapsed after the alarm was sounded be-
fore the water was playing on the fire.
By this time the building was a solid
flame, and the fremen and citizens turn
ed their attention to saving the sur.
rounding buildings, and the lumber of
which there was quite a large amount
piled around the mill. There was also
considerable grain in the building, as
new machinery had been put in place
to grind feed. The damage is estimated
at So, 900. 90 with no insurance.
This is the first fire we have exper.
fenced since the new water works were
established, and it is gratifying to be
able to state, that everything worked
satisfactorily. The pressure was all that
was expected and a good stream was car
ried for a straight loo feet from the end
of the hose pipe or nozzle. This would
have subdued the flames quickly if it
could have been brought to bear in time,
and as it was it was the means of saving
a large amount OF property which must
have been destroyed had it not have
been for the water works. We have just
learned that the organization of a regu.
lar fire company is not yet complete.
This should be done by all means, and
the crew be made effective by the neces-
sary practice. The loss and damage is
quite a severe blow upon the firm of NJ.
j. Bailey Co., but We are told that they
will proceed at nee to erect a new mill
in its place.

Thursday on a business mission. lie
gives a very encouraging account of the
mining industry of that district, and par
ticularly of the Blue Lead, where he
says a rich copper strike has recently
been made which assures the future
success Of an enterprise that has been
watched for years with more than ordi-
nary interest. From his account it il
inferred that the Blue Lead will soon be
classed with the leading copper produc-
ing mines of the country.

it don't start. Mr.. F. Fl. Long is the

inventor of what has been proclaimed
to be the best process for saving gold
extant. But the process don't seen to
proceed. 1t has been represented as a
combination Of electricity, cyanide, and
chlorination, but it don't seem to chlori.
nate, it don't seem to combine and it
don't electrify. Can anyone tell what is
the matter with the Mystic plantr
We are told that while doing the an
nual assessment work on the Grand
Junction and Hartford mines, which are
situated about seven miles northwest
from Custer, that a rich strike was made
on the Hartford" The ore which is q
sulphide ia said to be very rich in the
precious metal, but just how rich we
could not ascertain. The Grand juno
ton has an immense vein of ore and for
about sixty feet in width it should pay
well when properly treated. But it is
very refractory and requires skill to ex-
tract the values, more skill we think
than it has thus far received. W. hope
in the not distant future that it will re-
ceive the attention that 30 magnificent a
property deserves, and that it may be
allowed to take it's place as n Of the
principal producers Of gold in the richest
section of the Black Hills.
