THE STORY.

nut Of the way! Out of the way.
" the kings son cometh." The
shouting Of the gayly-dressed heralds
who ran before the cavalcade, mingled
with the notes OF the buglers, caused
a scurrying and excitement in the mar.
row streets OF Jerusalem. Those
abroad at that early hour sought ref
uge in the friendly hooks of the walls
of the houses and in the doorways.
while the people within rushed to the
windows and doors to watch the pro-
cession as it passed.
The splendid turnout Of Absalom.
o OF King David and generally ac-
knowledged heir to the throne, had be
come a familiar sight in Jerusalem
during the past few months. but the
people never tired Of watching the
gorgeous procession as it passed-the
company OF fifty fleet runners leading
the way, the gayly caparisoned horses
and the glistening bronze and gold
c%hariots, with their broad-shouldered
brawny-armed drivers. and their splen-
didly accoutered warriors. All fur.
nished a pleasing and animated picture,
the center of which was the handsome
youth who rode with such dignity and
royal grace in the largest and most
splendid OF the chariots. AS he passed,
the people fairly held their breath, so
enrapt were they with the rare beauty
Of the face and form. Never before
had they seen SO regal a presence,
such a wealth of hair, such flashing
eyes. such ruddy glow upon the full
rounded cheeks. such graceful poise
Many were the whispered words of
commentator, and approving mods,
and the people were pleased to think
Of the day when Prince Absalom
should succeed his father, David. on
the throne of Israel.
He is like n of the gods come to
earth" whispered one into the ear of
the man standing next him.
Yes was the response, land the
gods be up early this morning. What

yonder city's WALTZ"
1T is early. Perhaps he is bent
upon discharging some of the kings
business. Let us follow"
And they fell in behind the process
sion which wound its way through the
streets and at last brought up at the
chief gate Of the city, which, with the
rising of the sun. had been thrown
open for the incoming stream OF trav-
elers.
As we have said. the royal turnout
of Prince Absalom had become a ia
miliar sight to the. people of Jerusa-
lem, but this was the first morning
that the shouting OF the heralds. the
notes OF the buglers. the chatter and
tramp Of the prancing horses and the
rumble Of the chariots had been heard
70 early In the day. and many were
the conjectures as to the reason for
It.
Absalom noted the expressions OF
surprise which mingled with the looks
Of admiration and approval on the
faces Of the people as he passed. and.

crosby's Great Mistake.

William Crosby, for many years q
prominent publisher and bookseller
in New England. is dead at his home
in Roxbury, Mass. His firm, Crosby
& Nichols declined to print a volume
of poems called Voices of the Night"
by Longfellow. The poet offered the
poems with the stipulation that the
firm give him a position. For this
refusal the firm lost Longfellow's
work, which later became famous.

Time to Awaken.

Any plan devised that tends toward
greater business Capitalization makes
easier the building up of harmful
combinations. During the past ten
years billions of dollars have been
sent to the large cities by the resi-
dent of rural communities. and these
billions have been used in building up
trusts that work against the best in
terests of the masses who reside in
agricultural sections. Is it not time
to awaken to the dangers of sending
money away from the home town?

Many OF the farm journals are de-
voting considerable space to articles

employed is that the system would al
low the farmers of the land to secure
from distant cities through the mails
all that they require in the way of
merchandise. These same papers de.
cry the trusts that exist to control the
prices farmers receive for their
produce. In the articles favoring par

tention called to the fact that a par

A Nation of CrippIes.
Rheumatism Beyond Control
The Only Hope to Rheumatic Sufferers
Is UriC.0 Treatment.

If rheumatism continues to spread as it has in
the past few years, it would seem as though we
would before long become nation of cripples
The terrible destructveness of this disease is ap-
parent on every side of US. Almost nine out OF
ten of the cripples one meets had their af1iction
brought Oh by Rheumatism. How many thou
sands more there are that are hopelessly bed
ridden and whom we never see. Rheumatism
from the very nature of the disease, can never
cure itself and if neglected, is bound to grow
worse rather than better. If you ever have any
twinges of Rheumatism go to your druggist and
get bottle of Urc-O, the wonderful new Rheu-
matte Specific. 1t will cure you and it is the only
treatment in the world that will cure you perma-
nently and thoroughly. Urc-O cures byits direct
action on the muscles, blood and kidneys. 1t
seeks out the poisonous Uric and Rheumatic Acid
and drives it from the system and it is only
a treatment of such nature that will ever cure
Rheumatism. Liniments and plasters only serve
to drive it from one spot to another. They never
cure Rheumatism, because it is primarily blood
disease, and until the blood is cleared from the
poison, cure cannot take place.
There never was a case of Rheumatism that
Uric o could not cure and you should not put off
taking it. You can test Uric-O free of charge il
you wish. Just cut out this advertisement and
send it to the Smith Drug Co., Syracuse, N. Y,
together with your name and the name Of your
druggist, and state that you have never used
Uric-O and would like to try it. They will give
you free, through your druggist a Is cent bottle
