but their moral qualities do not
expand with the enlarged
sphere to which often fortune
or favor brings them, and as
result pride and the sense Of
self-importance lead to the mis-

failure.
; "a band Of men whose hearts
God had touched."-A leader by
the favor of God and man, and
now following for that leader.
New responsibilities. and new
resources Of strength and. power
for their fulfilIment. Although
God had not wanted to give
them a king, desiring to hold
that relationship to his people
himself, ne was ready to en-
courage and help the newly
chosen king, and so his spirit
touched the hearts of some
choice men Of the kingdom and
filled them with a desire to con-
secrate their lives in service to
the neWIy-chosen king. Who
can estimate what this must
have meant to Saul. Here were
men in whom he could put his
trust, because God had touched
their hearts. Here were men in
sympathy with him in the diff
culties and perpIexities of his
exalted office, because Gods
spirit had breathed into their
spirits a deep purpose to stand
for that which was right.
To say of any man that God
has touched his heart is an ac-
curate index to his character.
God cannot touch the hearts of
a good many men, much as he
desires to do so. Business,
worldly ambition, seIf-seekinq,
love of pleasure, etc, prove i'm
preenabIe barriers against the
touch Of the finger Of God.
God seeks to touch the heart
OF every man, and except the
Divine impress is received quail
tiles are lacking which can best
fit one for the discharge of the
duties of life. In direct con-
trast to this bard of men we
find there were the children Of
eelisI, or naughty men, who re-
sisting the work of God in their
hearts gave themselves up to
wicked opposition to the new
king. II is always so. The
forces Of evil are always on
hand to withstand the good. We
stand with one or the other.

wiIIed Away tho Laundry,

When perfectly strange woman
came for the soiled clothes the mis-
tress Of the house came to the conclu-
sion that her own laundress had sim
ply employed new messenger and
made no comment on the circum-
stances.
But when two weeks had gone by
and still the old laundress, known as
Susan, no last name having been men
toned, did not appear the mistress Of
the house felt that she would be lack
ing in her duty if she did not make
some inquiry about her.
"Where is Susan?" she asked the
tall and bony structure who came for
the clothes.
"She has gone to Pennsylvania to
live, yessum," returned this person,
with composure. "Sbe went to Penn
sylvauia some time ago, an she lef'
goodby fer yuh, but s long es yuh
didn't seem tub notis I didn't say

"But why didn't she come and tell

Satisfied Her Curiosity.

A certain south side lady has come
to the conclusion that curiosity can no
longer be indulged in with any degree
Of safety. One night she entertained
a group Of friends and at the moment
of departure, when conversation al
ways lags trife, her eye fell idly on
a package carried by one Of the men.
what is 1t you have there?' she
asked, with hardly thought Of what
she w9s saying.
"Well," said another guest, springing
forward, with mock indignation, IF
he's going to be searched, feel that
all of us should be subjected to the
same indignity."
"Oh, l." commenced the hostess, her
face flushing-"I give you my word
that
II can prove the ownership of this
watch" cried one man.
"This was my mothers ring" ex-
planned another. And SO it went down
the line until the laugh came just
in time to save the life Of the hostess.
Hereafter one of her guests can
walk off with the grand piano and be
free from remark.-Kansas City In

Worth the Difference.

A big jobber sent an aspiring young
man OH the road to open up a new ter
ritory where new railroad was going
through. All the towns being new,
there were no hotel accommodations,
and it was necessary for the salesman
to secure meals and lodging at restau-
rants, etc, where the price was % cents
per meal On looking over the expense
account the manager noticed all meals
charged at so cents
Look here, Charlie; see you have
charged us so cents per meal on your
trip, and l am reliably informed that
it Is impossible to get a meal for more
than 25 cents in your entire territory.
How about it?''
"Well,'' said the salesman, you are
right. 1t did cost me but % cents per
meal, but tell you, sir, it's worth the
other 25 to eat those meals. New

How Tin Foil Is Made.

Tin foil, which is extensively used for
wrapping tobacco, certain food prod
ucts and other articles of commerce, is
a combination of lead with q thin coat
ing of tin on each side. First tin
pipe is made of Il thickness proportions
ate to its diameter, proportion not Civ

lead and rolled or beaten to the ex-
treme thinness required. In this proc
ess the tin coating spreads simultane-
Ously with the spreading of the lead
core and continuously maintains a
thin, even coating of tin on each side
of the center sheet Of lead, even though
1t may be reduced to thickness Of

WAGONS IN AMERICA.
They Were First Used Some Four Cen
turtles Auo In Mexico,

To its northeriy neighbors Mexico
seems land of contradiction. 1t was
exploited by the Spanish conquerors
4 hundred years before the pilgrims
landed at Plymouth Rock, and yet the
American from the United States finds
it comparatively primitive and un-
developed country. In some respects
it has gone back, losing the splendor
of its early times. yet it is a land now
stirring with youth and growth.
The carriage OF goods affords an in
stance of these paradoXical conditions,
for in Mexico, the first soil of the new
world to- be Travelled by wheels, bur-
dens are today largely borne ON hu-
man backs. Says the New York Post:
There was never Il wheel turned on
the western hemisphere until about the
year 1923 Or 1924, when Sebastian de
| Aparicio brought some OK carts over
from Spain and began hauling freight
and passengers between Vera Cruz and
| the City of Mexico. He grew wealthy,
moved to Puebla, became lay broth
er of the Franciscans and died full Of
years, piety and honors in 1900, nine
ty-eight years Of age. He was canon
lied by the pope and later was adopt
| ed as patron saint Of Puebla.
Among the mountain and plateau
tribes Of Mexico, Central America and
a large part of South America trans
portation methods are precisely the
same today as they We're in the days
Of Cortes, Alyarado and Pizarro. The

arbutus for the supper table.
AS she was crossing the Benton farm,
she heard an angry below and smiled.
Benton's prize bull was confined in the
next lot. He could not bother her.
Then with rending crash, the mad
dened animal broke down the fimsy
fence and came charging across the lot
after the fury melting red coat.
Dora, in glance. measured her
chances and swung up into the single
apple tree that stood in the center
of the field. It's branches hung low.

The bull looked about puzzledly for
moment, then he caught sight Of the
CLINT of red in the branches and
charged again. His impact shook the
tree but it did not dislodgc the girl,
for she clung with her arms about the
trunk
Being patient animal, the bull
waited, and Dora was so much occu-
pied with the unpleasantness of the
situation that she never noticed the ap-
proach of man in a red golf coat un-
til he was midway across the lot.
Look out" she shrilled, ''it's a bull.

The newcomer obeyed both injunc-
tions, but the cry had attracted the
bulls attention, and the animal was
fast gaining on his new prey when
suddenly the man leaped to one side,
and the bull plowcd on. BY the time it
had turned the man was running for
the tree and swung himself up just as
the bull reached him.
