THE STORY.

THERE vas but one topic of CONVEX
! sation in all Israel and that was
concerning the youth from Bethlehem
who had killed Goliath, the terrible
Philistine giant, who for weeks had
held the army of Israel in abject fear
and terror. Jonathan listened eagerly to
his armor bearer as he told him the
story, while they fastened on in pur-
suit of the fleeing Philistines. iona.
than had not been with the army at
the time but summoned hastily to his
command when the pursuit of the
Philistines had been taken up so un-
expectedly, he had eagerly responded
and was now pressing forward as rap
idly as possible. And for the first
time now he was hearing from his
armor bearers lips the story of the
wonderful exploit of the simple coun-
try lad, who had come into the camp
of Israel the day before just when the
Philistine champion had come out and
was defying the army Of Israel and
disappearing the name of Israel's
God. Aroused by the sight, the youth
had demanded to know why some n
Of the warriors of Israel did not go
out to fight against him in the name
Of the God of Israel, and when he
learned there were none strong or
brave enough to battle with so fierce
and powerful a foe, he had volun-
teered with boyish earnestness to go
out himself, declaring that the God of
Israel would destroy the uncircum-
cised Philistine, seeing he had deied
the armies of the living God. !
Jonathan listened to the story with
intense and growing interest, of how
this youth had been at last taken to
the presence of his father, the king;
of how he had laid aside at last the
armor which had been provided for
him with the simple remark that he
had not proved them and had better
trust to his shepherds sling, which,
said he, never has failed me yet

OPPORTUNITIES NEAR HOME.
Progressive Towns Offer Excel,en,
Advantages for Young Men.

Students in sociology have recent.
ly expressed pessimistic views as to
chances for the success Of young men
Of country districts. There has been
no denying of the fact that the farm
affords a splendid opportunity for
those inclined towards a pastoral life,
but it is maintained that of recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed in the average business
vocation. That is that the channels
for his development are being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation Of corporations and
trusts for the control of various in
dustries. In other words, the GEN.
t%ralization of business is considered
detrimental to the pursuing of bust
ness in mercantile lines on a small
scale.
This subject is open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns of the United
States are rapidly building up. The
population of the country is increas-
ing wonderfully. With this increase
In population new opportunities pre-
tent themselves for the exercise Of
intelligent endeavor. The towns, par
ticularly of the west, are embryo cit
les, and the little village of to-day
will be the large city a quarter cen
fury hence. Almost every town af-
fords the progressive young man a
chance for business zee O9por-
tunities are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover them.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from, or upon
some particular advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufacture
ing along certain lines. The oppor-
tunities for young men are to some
extent guaged by the life and prog
ress of the towns. Heads of families
look forward to the time When their
m may enter into business or pro-
fessional life. Ties of kinship are
strong and few parents care to have
SiOWA oOuo duu UduSulClO ldI away
from them. In this is discovered a
reason why residents of a rural dis
trict should take more than ordinary
interest in the home town. The more
important the local town the greater
are the opportunities for the young
men OF the neighborhood engaging in
business in it. In thousands of cities
and towns of the United States the
leading business men to-day are the
boys. who were farmers ons a quar-
ter or a half century ago. In modest
ways they started in business in the
home town, and with the progress Of
the town developed as business men.
The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are still open to the
youths of to-day, but remember that
many of these men would not have
been the great business men they are
to-day only for the fact the towns
where they located were progressive
places which gave the opportunity to
succeed.

Residents of rural communities
should beware Of travelling agents
who are disposing of ~new-fangled cold
air refrigerators. This refrigerator is
represented as requiring no ice. All
that is necessary is to fill some of the
reservoirs it contains with cold water.
The agent does not ask that the farm
er even buy this refrigerator, and
represents that he is merely advertis-
ing it, and desires to place one on
trial without cost to the farmer. OF
course a receipt for the wooden box
is asked. This receipt in the course
OF a few months turns up as a prom
isory note for SOS. The farmer has a
cheap wooden affair on his hands that
is not worth the room it occupies,
and a total failure as far as the re-
frigerator goes.
