Mrs. Reese and her mother were at
luncheon at their home the day before
when Dean called. While Mrs. Reese's
mother was answering the telephone
Dean turned the conversation to the
subject of opium and told her that the
reports that the Chinese were opium
fiends was outrageously false. He
said that the Americans mistook for
opium some little crystals which the
Chinese frequently took as an appe-
tizer. He offered Mrs Reese one of the
crystals. At first she hesitated, but
when she saw the Chinaman appar-
emily swallow one she did likewise.
Mrs. Reese remembers but little of
what happened after that.
1t is believed that Dean wanted to
hold her for ransom.

This song Of praise and trl.
umph Is almost Identical with
that Of the Eighteenth Psalm,
whose title, 1.-THE Servant Of the
Lord" indicates it's inspired
!, character, and that It was the
expression Of a heart which was
conscious Of the sacred trust Of
executing the will Of God.
David here gives glimpse
, into the innermost relationships
between himself and his God.
It was not that he enjoyed the
Divine favor because he served
God, but rather was the serv-
Ice rendered gladly and whole
heartedly because David was
conscious that he had been Sc
Iected and appointed by God in
his sovereign mercy as king and
leader Of Gods chosen people.
There is always a song Of
spraise and triumph arising in
; the heart OF one who has heard
the whispering Of God calling
to special work. Then It is
not service in the hope Of re-
, ward. That 10 farthest from
the thought. But there is serv.
ice because the delight is to do
the will of God, and in the do.
ing of that will heaven and earth
is made to rejoice.
| Note through the song the
terms which David employs to
designate and describe God.
Rock, Horn of Salvation,
Strength, Tower, Temple, etc.
These were not simply the pc.

emotional nature run away with
him, but were expressions taken

THE STORY.

TIE WHO does not live over again
III the experiences of life and find
in them lessons and inspiration for
larger, fuller, more complete life, robs
himself of much of the richness and
fullness of life Our perceptions are
quickened and broadened as we bring
before our vision the trials and hard
ships, the difficulties and dangers, the
blessings and joys, the defeats and
victories which have been encounter
ed during the journey of life. In the
quiet of the hearts seclusion, away
from the turmoil and conflict and
commotion of the world the soul finds
q haven in which it may calmly re-
view the life, may see with clearer
vision, may know with the mind and
heart of God.
The brief but thrilling biography
which Scripture gives of David, ''the
man after Gods own heart" depicts
in remarkable way the light and
shade, the strength and weakness, the
humiliation and the 'exaltation of a
human life. 1t is a wonderful story.
From the time we are first introduced
to the humble shepherd lad, down to
the last chapter of his life, we are
struck by the intense activity which
marked almost every moment of It.
Event follows event in continuous
procession. One incident is scarcely
closed ere another has begun. And
perhaps during all this intensely
active life there has been only partial
appreciation of all that it means, but
as the Interest of life is passed and
the descent begins towards old age
and the grave, there come leisure
which had been denied before and
mellowness of mind which make 1t
possible to contemplate the expert
ences of life with clearer interpreta-
ton.
It was soon after David had return
ed from the last war with the Philis-
tines that he awoke to full realiza-
ton of the growing weakness of old
age. With much OF his old-time vigor
he had buckled on his armor and gone
in person with his army to give bat
tie. The conflict waxed hot, and one
Ishbi-benob, giant among the Philis-
tines, whose spear alone weighed over
100 pounds, perceiving that King David
fought in the midst of his men,
thought to engage him in personal
combat Watching his opportunity.
therefore, he cut the aged warrior off
from the rest of his men, and then
began desperate parrying and thrust
ing between the two, which in
the ferceness of the general conflict
was not noted by the men of David's
body guard. Right bravely did David
Withstand the onslaughts of the ter
rible Philistine, but the vigor of
young manhood was gone. His mus
cles were not as strong or as quick,
neither the eye as keen as years be-
fore when he had led his army into

New York.-Raffaele Cascone, an

The first trial of Cascone had re-

to death. When the court Of appeals
granted him new trial a year ago
last August a reporter met Cascone
at the entrance to the lighthouse in

Cascone had been confined four
years and four months when he was
given his liberty by Judge Whitman.
During 80 months Of that time he had
been in the death house and had seen
IL men taken from their cells to be
put to death in the electric chair.
Cascone went to the entrance to the
criminal courthouse and stood for a
few moments in silence under the
Bridge Of Signs. A moment later he
was surrounded by many Of his coun-
trymen. They came in great numbers.
and by the time Cascone was ready to
start for the church there were nearly
a thousand men and women ON hand
to cheer the released man.

At a rough working average, it may
be stated that tie majority of vigorous
adults require an average of about nine
hours. Women require from half an hour
to an hour more than men of their age.
Any attempt to shorten this necessary
period, whatever it may be, which can
readily be ascertained by each individual
for himself by brief period of intelli-
gent experimentation, is not only ira
tional but suicidal.
As matter Of fact. the average

You can almost feel His divine influence
