THE STORY.

SRAEL was to have a king. Sam
uel the prophet has yielded to the
demands of the people and had prom
ised that in due time after he had
communed with the Lord the desire
for q king would be granted. Thus
assured the elders had returned home,
and great rejoicing had followed.
In Gibeah, of the tribe Of Ben5a-
min. as in the other towns and cities
of the country, there was great jubila-
ticn. Everything else vas forgotten
for the moment as the people gave
themselves up to the merrymaking.
They were like children with a new
toy. They found the prospect OF a
king like unto the nations about full
of bright contemplation. The chief
men of the village gathered in the
court of the assembly in the gate
of the city and discussed the outlook,
yieing with each other in p~icturing the
future of the kingdom and speculat-
ing on who might be chosen king
from among the IL tribes, while the
rest of the people of the village gaia.

Scream Aleu-

For some time past in different parts
of the State there has been or sale q
certain brew or concoctiOn which has
been labeled ''Cream Ale" Sheriff
Lott of C~ovington county being advised
of the extent at which the brew was
being sold in his section and OF its ef-
fects on some of those who drank 1t,
procured samples and sent them to
State Chemist Hand, at the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College, for
analysis. Prof. Hand reports that he
finds the percentage of alcohol carried
by the beverage is rather less than that
found in ordinary beers, though the
materials contains as much alcohol as
many light beers. The result OF this is
that the sale of "Cream Ale" is likely
to be stopped.

liant answer:

from the feet lest he should trample
upon her; but she was taken from his

the outcome Of increased business

BALTIMORE FIRM IN

McKim and Company Make AS
signment to Wind Up
Affairs.

BALTIMORE. ND. July 1.-The bank
ing and brokerage house Of McKim &.
Co., $40 Park Avenue. this city, was
placed in the hands OF Charles Morris
Howard as receiver to-day. Mr.. Howard
says he could not as yet give any
figures as to liabilities, etc.
Mr.. Morris gave bonds for $500, 900.
which would seem to indicate that the
liabilities were half the amount. With
drawals OF deposits and poor business,
coupled with the desire Of Hollins Nc
Kim. the chief partner, who IS getting
along In years. to retire from active
business, was given as tho reason for
the action.
z Receiver Howard issued a statement
in which he said: 1T was deemed wise
to wind up the business and this
was considered the best way to do 1t.
The move was not an antagonistic one,
but was made by the FIRMS assoc
cates and with the full concurrence
OF Mr.. Hollins McKim, 1t Is his CAPT
tai that is really involved. In adj
dltion to the depressed conditions now
bank had the handicap OF having a
large part OF Its capital locked up in
real estate. This kind Of capital is
OF COURSE not readily available. Some
Of It ~ very valuable, and 1t Is hoped
that IT, can soon be marketed and
that tho affairs Of the concern can be
speedily lquidated.'
The assignment of the firm created
considerable sentimental interest be-
cause OF It's old-established character
but IN banking circles 1t was not re-
garded as showing weakness In any
other quarter.
