THE STORY.

ONCE his return nothing had seemed
~ quite the same, and Hobab. in spite
OF his unwillingness to ad nit it, was
dissatisfied. The old scenes and old
associates did not satisfy as they
used to do. He was surprised and
shocked at the change, and wondered
whether the reason was to be found
within himself or in the old home and
old friends. He had spent long time
with his brother-in-law, Moses. and
uncOnsciously had been Influenced by
his associations with him TO higher
ideals and TO more intimate knowl.

Ever since his positive rejection
of Moses kind invitation to cast his
lot with Gods people he had felt

The Cost OF Cities.

New York city's budget next year
VIII be s116.SO5. 49O37. This is ono
NTH of the total expenditures of the
1b1 cities of the United States hav-
Ing a population Of over 10000. In
GLIDING the bond issues New York
spends one-third. New York spends
more than the six next largest cities
Chicago, Philadelphia, st. Louis,
Baltimore, Boston and Cleveland. AL
though its population is only twice
Chicago's, its government costs four
times as much. Its debt Is more
than third Of the aggregate city
debt, which is larger than the national
debt. The per capita debt of all these
cities is $57 or less than half New
rorks. New York's expenditures ex-
coed those of any foreign city. The
London council uses only 100000
q year. Parish expenditures do not
bring the total to the New York fig
ure. The expenditures of the German
empire are less than five times as
great. those Of the kingdom of Prus-
ala six times as great, those of Spain
only a quarter larger. The census bu-
reau bulletin which contains these
statistics also gives interesting in

and operation. Two-thirds OF the cit.

trio light works, Chicago being the
best known of these. Boston. Port
Hand, Ore, and New York operate mu-
nicfpal ferries. Auburn operates a
stone quarry. Detroit has a NUM-
cipal asphalt plant. One-fifth of the
total revenues come from the water
works. In almost every case these
waterworks more than pay the cost
OF their maintenance, the interest
and the sinking fund of the water
bonds. One of the other interesting
Facts In this bulletin, to which the
New York World calls attention, is
that Hoboken has the highest popula-
ton to the acre of any city. That is
because its area is only S25 acres.
New York is the largest city, with
an area of over 800 square miles.

share In all the blessing which ,
God had said he would give to
his people. Moses invitation
brought Hobab face to face ;
with the most solemn issue ,
which can come to any soul. A

to be answered.:
Should he follow God or fol.

Should he go to the Land Of :

to dwell in the old land7
Should he choose Gods poo
