FIVE FALL INTO GRAVE.
Remarkable Incident That Disturbed
Solemnity Of Funeral.

which prevails at the burial Of the
dead, great excitement and fear at

Michael Serene, Appointment merchant
of Westport, when by the c~ollapsing
of a grave the coffin and several per-
sons attending the services were
hurled into a small pit.
The final prayer had been said by
the preacher, and the assistant to the
undertaken stepped to the foot of the
coffin to arrange the rope for letting
the coffin into the grave. At that mo-
ment n of the pallbearers acct
dentally kicked out the c~rosspiece
that supported the coffin. The coffin
quickly descended into the grave, the
body going feet first. The assistant
fastened its descent by tumbling on
it. Several persons rushed to the
edge of the grave, causing the soil to
yield. and in a few seconds five per-
sons were lying in the pit half covered
with dirt.
They were pulled out, the coffin was
dug out and laid fat, and after the
grave had been redug the burial was
completed.-N. Y. Press.

H STORY.

EVENTS had moved fast for David
II at the court of King Saul. Not
only had the young warriors victory
over the Philistine giant brought him
to the favorable notice of the king,
but the sweet music of his harp ac-
companied by his strong, fresh young
voice had won a powerful influence
over him, so that it had come to pass
that during the seasons of deep dejec-
ton into which Saul fell at times
there seemed nothing which could dis
pei the strange moods and restore his
spirits as the music of the shepherd
lad.
And all unassuming and with quiet
dignity, David had taken up the activ-
tiles of his new life. He missed his
sheep and the freshness and quiet of
the green meadows and mountain
hooks, and would gladly have gone
back to them, save for one thing. The
memory of Samuel's visit to his ia
theirs house and of his amounting him,
had quickened within his heart
strange impulses and desires. He did
not understand them, he only knew
that he was always reaching out for
some thought and experience which
lay just beyond him. And when by
the rapid movement of events he had
suddenly found himself a mighty war;
rior in Israel instead of a shepherd
boy, and had become conscious of
the powers which lay within him, a
new vista of life opened up before.
him.
But with his rapid advancement at
the court OF King Saul, there had
grown up in the hearts of some of the
courtiers there feelings of jealousy
asainst David, and secretly they

. because the Lord was with him
; and was departed from SAUL"
!; What a commentary this is on
! the spiritual condition of Saul!
: Afraid of David! that noble
|, hearted, brave, unselfish defend
err of his nation and his king.
Afraid of David! that open,
frank, unassuming young man
who sought not his w good but
that of the king. Afraid of David!
that simple country lad who had
SO modestly taken his place in
the kings palace and had minis
tered to the ilI-natured king by
his sweet music. Think of it!
|, Afraid of David, because filled
with devotion to God and love to
mankind, he ought by every act
of his to perform some kindly
service for others. No, not afraid
Of David because the Iattsr was
plotting against him; because he
was trying to work his hurt; be-
cause he was secretly his enemy
and was proving treacherous to
trust placed in his charge. No,
but afraid of David, because the
Lord was with him. Think of it!
Saul knew that he had been
rejected of God, or rather that
through his wilIfuI disobedience
he had rejected God, and then in
hardness of heart that knew no
repentance he had persisted in
his course. Saul also knew that
God had chosen David. There is
no doubt but that at last the
amounting of the shepherd boy
by Samuel had become known to
him and that the thought that
this young man had been set
apart as the Coming king of
Israel filled his keart with hatred
and fear. He knew all this and
was foolish enough to think that
he could thWart Gods purposes;
that he could bar the pathway of
the Divine will by the weak,
puny arm of flesh.
There is no more pitisble or
awful picture In the Bible than
this picture of Saul fighting
against God and Gods anointed.
Scripture says "the heather rage
and the people imagine a vain
thing. The rulers of the earth
set themselves and take counsel
together against the Lord and
against his anointed.< But he
that stitch in the Heavens shall ::
laugh: the Lord shall have them :;
in derision." Oh, what folly to
fight against God.
We can in some measure IN
derstand how the heather can !:
fight against God, but how n !:
of Saul's training, and opportuni- ::
ties and the light which had /:
come to him could so do, is quite
beyond our comprehension. But
does Saul stand alone IN this :
condition., Is there any danger :
that others who have walked
close to God as he did may yet :
fall to the depths to which he :
fell? After all, how was such )
condition possible? 1t was taken !
step by step in wiIIful disobedi- )
ence and violation of the Divine :
will. And there is danger to ]
every soul which INDUCES in sin :
and persists therein that at last )
Gods spirit will depart and leave /:
that soul forever. Let us not )
commit the objectionable sin of !
b%lasphemy against the Holy :
Ghost. 5

child, a baby daughter. The eldest
child of the sultan is Prince Selim,
who is 81 years old. He is in disgrace,

full act, of exceptional Importance to
the recipient, leaves an indelible inn
preston on the mind. The feeling of
thankfulness is apt to materialize in
some way, often coming to light in the
reading of last will and testament.
Aside from such tangible return for
courtesy and kindness, in the activities
of life, there always is compensation in
the satisfaction of having acted in
kindly manner and in the evidence that
the action is appreciated.
This phase of the subject is especially
commended to all persons whose duties
bring them into contact with the pub
lie. Street car employees, sales people
in stores and shops, employees in hotels,
restaurants and the like, should be
mindful of the fact that politeness and
kindness are valuable assets as well as
most praiseworthy ethical accomplish
ments.

1T pays" TO BE KIND

An incident is introduced here that
would serve as a text for an elaborate
dissertation on the material value of
kindness and politeness as distinguished
from the ethical value.
A conductor on a Euclid avenue car,
who is particularly known to many
persons because of his courtesy and
kindly manner toward passengers, was
the recipient last Wednesday of a token
of regard. 1t was a beautiful ring, hav-
ing a jade center fanked on either side
by a first-water diamond. With this
adornment upon finger the conduct
or's hand attracted the attention of
passenger acquaintance and ELECTED
the following story:
An elderly and infirm gentleman, who
is frequent passenger on the car with
the conductor alluded to, appreciated
the kindly aid given him when boarding
and alighting from the car. The ring,
sent with a complimentary letter. was
the old gentlemans substantial method
of expressing his appreciation.
What an interesting line of thought
that simple incident suggests! Miles
of homilies have been written on the
ethical side of the question in support
of habits of kindness, gentility and con-
sideration for others. The material side
of the question is of secondary impor-
lance. of course, but it is well worthy
Of remembrance, as indicated by the
incident here related.
In current news the reader frequently
finds items similar in character to the
one in which the local conductor fig
ures, but often involving gifts or be-
quests of large sums of money. A help

POLAR EXPLORATION

At Spitzberg, in the North sea and
well within the Arctic circle, Walter
Wellman of the Chicago Rec I'd Herald
staff is arranging to make for the pole,
in a huge airship. Our dispatches in
form us that the iron-framed house
transported thither for the purpose of
assembling the many parts of the air.
ship in it's shelter was damaged by
storm on the Fourth of July, and the
passage to the pole thereby delayed
OF the many attempts to reach the
pole, from Franklin's to Peary's, this
one would seem to be the most fool
hardy A huge cigar-shaped balloon,
inflated with gas, is expected to carry
several men, their food, a boat dogs
and other needed things a distance of
some 600 miles to the pole, and, barring
accidents, bring them back.
Even school children know of the con-
slant blowing of cold winds from the
poles toward the equator, to fill the
vacuum created by the great masses of
rarified air which rise in equatorial re-
gions, and which cold winds, impinging
on the earth's surface, at the thirtieth
degree of north and south latitude,
create the trade winds known to COM
merce. How Mr.. Wellman can stem
these winds does not appear, even
though no other hazard intervene; but
when it is considered that storms of
terrific force are common all over that
field, the chances Of success seem
small.
1t is quite capable of easy proof that
a gale of wind from the north, that
blows at 4O-mile rate in the latitude
of 60 degrees, must blow at sixty miles
twenty degrees farther north, and in
crease in velocity as the cold increases;
for the reason that as the gale finds
space for expansion in southern lati-
tudes it's force must be lessened. This
physical fact is the regular experience
of every Arctic navigator and BODIES no
good to the Wellman expedition.
1t is also known that mysterious cleo
trio forces of unknown quantity de-
velop in polar space, and just what
these may do to the balloon is wholly
problematical.
Had Wellman used his balloon in a
