FIND PARALLEL M slsLz.
Similarity In Careers Of King David
and King Arthur.

The history Of King David, as re
lated in the Second Book Of Samuel,
is full of parallels to Arthur. David's
renown begins with his fight against
the giant Goliath, who is the proto-
type Of all giants in the romances Of
the Middle Ages. They belong al
ways to the army Of heather, provoke
the faithful knights, and are con-
quered by them. Important In this
connection is the number of the
Knights OF the Round Table, says the
Jewish Chronicle. They are the fa-
nous AZ to whom Arthur resorts on
occasion of danger, and each of whom
has special accomplishment in
welding the spear or hnadling the
sword. Now the explanation of this
number is to be found in the Bible
If you glance at chapter xxi in the
Second Book Of Samuel, and again at
chapter tx in the First Book of Chron-
icles. you viii find list of the mighty
men of David, and their number varies
between 40 and 45.
Again, in the history OF Arthur, we
find two further episodes resembling
two episodes in the life OF David. The
one is the provocation of Lucius I'll
berius-a fictitious name--his naughty
demeanor, his war against Arthur.
and his defeat, which seems to be
only an adaptation in English form Of
the war between David and Hanun.
the king of the Ammonites, wLo
haughtily had provoked David, treat
ing disrespectfully his messengers.
The other episode treats of the rebel
lion Of Mordred, the nephew OF Ar
thur, against his uncle, and is copy
of the rebellion Of Absalom against
his father, David Both rebels were
aftarward routed in battle. Jewish
legend speaks of a miraculous sword
belonging not to David, but to his
chief captain, Joab, akin to the Cali
bur Of Arthur; likewise a mysterious
hand grasps the keys of the temple
after its destruction, like the mys
terious hand which took back thai
sword Of Calibur.

James Arthur was a canny old
Scotchman who lived in the town OF
Ryegate, VT, in the late Sos. He at
tended church regularly. and always
drove the family horse. Nell, and al.
though she undoubtedly possessed
many virtues, speed was not one Of
them.
One Sabbath on his way home from
the kirk one of the younger members
of The congregation drove up behind
with fast horse and, offering some
excuse Tor being In 3 hurry, drove past
at 3 sharp gait

John L. Sullivan Is
Still a Drawing Card
Former Champion Prize Fighter Still
Able to Command $500 a Week
for Theatrical Work.

Fifteen years after he had lost the
championship to Corbett, since when
he has been a dead one so far as the
fighting game is concerned, John L.
Sullivan possesses an earning capaci-
" eQualed by few professional men.
Sullivan draws 5000 weekly, and three
car fares, the extra two being for
Frank Han, his manager. and his spar
ring partner Out Of the 5000 Sulli-
van has to stake both Hall and his
sparring partner, leaving him about
$3.50 per week to the good.
With the exception OF Jim Corbett,
1t is doubtful If any other fighter could
retain his hold upon popular favor Sc
long after dropping out Of the active
side Of the boxing game. and It re-
mains to be seen whether Corbett will
lave much OF a hold upon the public
gay, FIVE years hence. There's no de-
nyIng the attractiveness Of Sulliyan's
personality.
Any one coming in contact with him
must be impressed by his blum hon
esty. and his utter contempt FOR any
thug that sayors Of hypocrisy. NJ
matter how widely men may differ as
TO his real merits as a pugilist, they
all agree that he was always on ths
level. and above resorting TO the mer
cenary tactics which have distinguish
ed the dealings Of the majority Of lat
ter-day fighters. And Il is to these
qualities ef square sportsmanship tha
the old champion owes his popularity
and his capacity to earn a handsome
livelihood.
