David's success brought with
II no bitterness Of regret over
the means by which that sue
cess had been won.
Had David purchased success
at the compromise Of principle.
or the commission of crime, it
would have cast a cloud upon
his life which would have over
Swallowed him to the very grave
itself.
Take success in the world to-
day which 10 achieved by ques-
tionable means, how certainly
do the misdeeds uncover them
selves at last, and relentiessly
and p%ersistently follow the per-
petrator.
Success won by any but fair
means brings unrest of soul,
and merits the contempt and
scorn of the world.
What shall 1t profit a mar
II he gain the whole world at
the sacrifice Of honor, or obedi-
ence to Gods law, or service to
his brother man?
Faith that can wait brings
success which will endure. The
road Of present expediency does
not lead to the land of perfect
realization.
1t was a long time from the
amounting at Bethlehem until the
browning at Hebron. But the
God who promises at Bethle-
hem is the God who can keep
through the vicissitudes Of the
years and can fulfill to the min
utest detail his spoken word.
The man who is willing to
take only the success which
God gives is the man Into whose
hands God commits his most i'm
portant trusts.
David's chief adviser was the
Heavenly Friend whose wisdom
is above mans wisdom, and
whose fa%ithfuIness never slack
ems.
How often in the chapters be-
fore US we find the statement
that David inquired Of the Lord
as to the course he should pur-
sue. Even this man of affairs
with the discipline of the years
upon him dare not trust to his .
own wisdom. He must seek
the Divine guidance. by which
alone he could walk in the
straight path which would deliv. :
er him from the snares of the
enemy and establish him in the ;
kingdom which so long before
had been promised to him.
In all Of his tribuiations and
Universities David was tho cheer
full optimist whose vision was
from above even while his feet
walked the uncertain pathways
Of the world.
We may not all be called to
kingdoms, but we may all have
the privilege of the Divine
guidance and the consciousness
that Gods presence is with US,
be the place we fill ever SO
humble.

H STORY.

A FTER the ocean tempest come the
~ subdued winds and the subsiding
waves; the heavens stretch blue and
beautiful from horizon to horizan, and
the golden sunshine fills all the balmy
air. But along the rock-bound shore
the wreckage lies in mad confusion a
sad reminder of the storm of the night
before. There in mute protest to
Natures friendly mood are the torn
and shattered timbers of the noble
ship which has gone down into the mer-
CHESS NAV OF the mighty waters.
There strewn along the beach is the
water-soaked cargo, and from beneath
the confusion Of piled wreckage ap-
pears the hand, the foot, the battered
head of some hapless victim. Nature so
peaceful and r~eassuring, and yet bring
ing but poor comfort to the heart
which contemplates the ruin before
1t.
So was 1t in Israel. The storm OF
battle has passed; the clash of arms
is stilled, the thunder of rushing war
chariots and the mad cries of multi.
tudes Of men joined in death strug-
gle have died away, and those who
have not fallen in battle have scatter
ed to their homes while the victorious
army of the Philistines laden with
plumber has returned home again.
The sky is blue as before, the sun
CHEEKY and warm, the breezes laden
with perfume from the Towering fields.
and the birds, unconscious of the trap.
edy of war-of the King and his
sons slain, and of the mourning in
many a home in Israel whittier the
father, and the son, the sweetheart
and brother would never more return
pouring out their little souls In glad
melody, but in the hearts of the peo-
pie a note of deep anguish and anxious
foreboding. Oh. the agony of those
days, weeping for the lost and fearing
for the living. With blanched cheeks
and trembling lips the people talked
together of the tragic end of King
Saul and his sons, Of the mutilation of
their bodies. of their hanging from
the walls Of Beth-shaa, a CHASTITY
trophy OF the fortunes OF war, OF the
placing Of the kings armor in the
temple of Ashtaroth the Philistine
god; Of these and the thousand and
one other bloody details Of the ter
rible battle the people talked. and
wondered what further misfortune
awaited the nation.
With Saul and his three sons dead,
who was there to lead the nation?
Confusion and uncertainty prevailed.
Even Abner the leader of the
hosts of Israel was apparently
unable to rally his forces and
suggest some plan of action. The
people were as sheep without a shep-
herd. So for days and weeks the dis
order and confusion continued, even as
far south ~ in the land Of Judah. And

The strong safeguard to our lives is
high moral and spiritual habit, the pow
or to guard us in dangerous times, of
right custom. How easy and natural to
go on doing the things we are accus-
toned to do, thinking as we are accus-
toned to think, feeling as we are accus-
toned to feel! 1t is hard to change
habit, and what a bulwark it is to our
souls! Our habits of thought, feeling
and action will generally hold fast
against strong attack. And we are apt
to keep on our accustomed way, even
when it leads us to confront perils and

Novelty In Entertainments.

A Paris paper says that on every
Sunday Mrs. Mackay receives her
friends in a secluded corner of the
Latin quarters most famous park in
Paris. The refreshments at these
entertainments are supplied by pass
ing vendors, such as old women who
sell tempting raisin cake and other
like dainties. The paper adds to this
account, which, whether or not au-
thentic, Is pleasant to believe, that
these novel little affairs have been
most successful and are a great relief
after more formal entertainments.

Sixteenth Section Lands.

The next legislature of Mississippi
will be asked to enact a bill exempting
the McQuown property in Columbus
from the provisions of the sixteenth
section leasehold clause. Practically
the entire business district of the city
is included in the sixteenth section, and
as a great deal of property has changed
hands recently a number of complica-

The Hopson Bayou Drainage District

The Hopson Bayou Drainage District
of Coahoma county has been organized
and legal notice of same published.
The good people of that county are
wide awake to the necessities and ad.
vantages OF drainage and are making q
campaign that promises great things
for the future. The letter On "Delta
Drainage',s in this department two
yeeks since no doubt applies to the
delta as it is at present, but the writer
on q visit five years from now will find
changes that make him more opti-
mistic. The men who own that immense
ly fertile section of the State do not
propose to sit down and wait for devel-
opments, but are going after them in q
manner that assures the realization Of
the dream spoken of in this former
communication. Tho writer believes
that in ten years the delta will produce
than a million bales of cotton
and also corn, meat and the other
necessaries. The spirit of diversified
ton that is spreading there is bound to
bring about these demanded changes.
The Cyclone Fair Association gave a
colt show in Claiborne county on the
18th that was voted a splendid success.
Good stock from the surrounding u
try was on exhibition and a large num-
Der of interested people were in at
tendance. The fair spirit is growing
fast in Mississippi, and next year it is
expected that q dozen new events will
be announced.
A large number of newspaper men
will be in the makeup of the next leg
islature; possibly a larger per cent. of
the total than ever before. Two of
them are slated to enter the contest for
speaker-Hon. Walker Wood Of Tate,
and Hilrie Quin of Kinds. They are a
hard-working lot that usually do some
thing for the other fellow and very lit
tie for themselves, and it is gratifying
to note that in some places this work is
being appreciated by the people in a
substantial way.
One OF the State papers figures it out
thusly: mississippi will elect, when
she gets through with her primaries,
one United States senator, 20 State Of
ficers, 17S members of the legislature,
IL district attorneys, 1900 county off,
GERS and almost 1000 beat officers" As
there were only 1901 600 votes polled,
this would be about $50 to each man
elected. Then, considering that two
were defeated for every one elected,
the division would come down to less
than one hundred voters to each candi-
date. Great is Mississippi and the
office-seeking proclivities of her loyal
and true citizens who are willing to
serve.
The man who looks for something to
do in Mississippi is very likely to find it
if he is in real earnest.
Diversitication means hog and hon.
my with especially emphasis on both
items. Our farmers are beginning to
diversity along all lines.
Forget the election and let's get down
to work for a Greater Mississippi"
with a vengence. There's something
to it.
If you know something that will
benefit your fellowman, let's hear from
you.

Natural Soap Baths.

Natural soap baths are not an un-
mixed blessing. The curious ICE
spring that forms \ vcnEer OF a vii
lage in Timer. East Indian islands,
consists Of a small elevated mud
cone, from which bubbles up water
heavily charged with alkali and
radium, the discharge giving the ap-
pearance of a miniature volcano. A
disadvantage Of such a washing place
is that vegetation is ruined for miles
