DEFEAT AND
VICTORY AT All
A STORY OF THE CONQUEST
OF CANAAN
By the HIGHWAY and Byway" Preacher
ETTE.


"lsraeI hath sinned." No, you
say, it was not Israel, but Achan.
True, and yet only part of the
truth, for sin is never without
its influence and effect upon
the lives of others beside the
actual transgressor.
Here is a solemn truth: mo
man liveth unto himself alone"
and the sins which | commit
touch the lives of others.
Sec it in the family circle.
There is the profiigate son, but
he sins not to himself alone.
The whole family circle is
swept into the vortex of his con-
terminating influence and feels
the burden of his wrong-doing.
Sin is a terrible thing, reach
ing out in ever widening circles
and affecting the lives of others.
Achan's sin became the sin of
the whole people, and brought
disaster upon all, just as your
sin and my sin may work its
baneful influence upon the lives
of those closely related to US
by social, business or family re-
lations.
"And they fled before the men
of Al" What a graphic portray
al of the weakening power OF
sin. Sampson shorn of his locks
was powerIess in the hands of
his enemies, for those shorn
locks were the evidences of sin
in his life.
And many a man finds himself
%powerless to grappIe with the
enemy because sin has Slapped
his strength. Sad, is it not that
thus man should invite defeat
where God intended that victory
should be his.
The defeats that we incur in the
Land of Promise, says F. B. Mey-
err, are not necessary. They r
due entirely to some failure in
ourselves, and they cause grief
to the immortal Lover of U
souls.
There is no reason for defeat
In the Christian life; always and
everywhere we are meant to be
"more than conquerors."
The course of the Christian
warrior should be as the SUI
when he goeth forth in his
strength, and in regular gradi-
ents drives his chariot from the
eastern wave up the steep of
heaven.
Child of God, never lay the
blame of thy failure on God;
seek for it within!

NEVER TIRES
Of the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

my food was killing ne and I didn't
know the cause" writes a Colo. young
lady. For two years I was thin and
sickly, suffering from Indigestion and
infammatory rheumatism.
II had tried different kinds Of diet,
plain living, and many of the remedies
recommended, but got no better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that I try Grape
Nuts, and I began at once, eating 1t
with a little cream or milk. A change
for the better began at once.
To-day I am we'll and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks
and DO not suffer any more from indi-
gestion and the rheumatism is all
gone.
ri know it is to Grape-Nuts alone
that 1 owe my restored health. I still
eat the food twice a day and eve tire
of it." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
The flavor Of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quail
ity that grows tiresome.
One Of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result Of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban'
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu'
larly, digestion is made strong, the or.
CANS do their work of building up good
red blood cells and Of carrying away
the excess of disease-making material
from the system.
The result is a certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity. There's a reason Read

Safe. sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has SO fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no d%eleterious drugs and r manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most m%eritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

THE STORY.

THE king of All was naturally cruel
/ and vindictive, and since his vic
tory over the armed force which Is
rael had sent out against his city, he
had given free rein to his passionate
nature. There were men in All whom
he had ruthlessly slain because in
the panic which followed the news of
the destruction of Jericho they had
counseled the surrender of the city,
urging that this was their only hope.
1--WE cannot stand before their God"
they had said. Let us not fight
against them, but let us go out and
plead for mercy in the name of their
God"
Such appeals served only to deep
en- and intensity the hatred of the
king towards this strange people who
had invaded the land and towards
their God, and following his victorious
return to the city, after driving the
army of Israel before him, he had Or
dered those men who had %counseled
surrender to be slain. And the days
which followed had been bloody days
In All. Relentlessly he searched the
city for any who had shown fear or
who had suggested surrender, and
had them executed in the public
square as an example to others in
the city, for said he:
"Ai is made weak by their pres
ence Death to all who would fear
before Israel or bow down to their
God! Our gods be the true gods!
We will serve them!"
And so the days following the de-
feat of Israel had been bloody feasts
days in All, for with the killing of
those who had incurred the kings
~displeasure, the whole city had given
itself up to all n of excesses.
Such was the state of things when
one evening word was brought to the
king that armed Israelites were seen
to enter the valley below the city,
and were making their camp in plain
view of the city. Immediately the
king went out and from the high tow
er on the walls at the city's gate he
watched the little army make its po-
sition secure for the hight.
Some of his officers counseled that
they go out at once against them and
under the cover of darkness attack
the camp, but the king with an oath
forbade, saying:
NAY, for in the darkness they would
fee and many would escape. On the
morrow early we will surround and
destroy them. None shall escape"
So it was that on the morrow ear
ly the king and all the men of All
for every man was eager for opportu-
nifty of falling upon the Israelites-
issued forth from the gates and de-
seconded upon the little army gathered
in the valley below.
I'VE will pursue them to the very
place where their wives and children
are encamped," the king declared,
boastfully. We will destroy them
utterly"
Thus confidently the king and his
great army FASTENED forward, and al
most before they had come within
striking distance of their enemies the
latter broke ranks and fed away In
terror, as they had done on the for
mer occasion. With a fierce, wild
shout, the king and his whole army
took up the pursuit. Throwing aside
the heavier parts of their armor that
they might run the more swiftly, the
king and his men sped on, shouting

son for such a ruling. You do not need
a warrant. The blind pigger is just
the same as any other criminal. You
can arrest him Just the same as you
would a counterfeiter who is operating
in the city. There Is little fear of an
action for false imprisonment. These
blind piggers are towards at heart,
and when they invoke the courts in
false imprisonment action they lay
open their acts for investigation by
the courts. This is not said in spirit

Queen Wlhelrnina

Willie carries most decorative
coat-of-arms on his snow-white side
panel and is gorgeously upholstered.
Despite her love for the motor car,
Queen Wilhelmina has at least forty
horses in aer stables, and she argues
that 1t is because she is so devoted to
horses that she has become an enthusi-
astic automibilist.
Nature" says the queen, "did no,
intend horses for record runs and pro-
longed USE"
Consequently, for long-distance trips
into the country she uses her motor
car. When at home, for short drives
and airings in town and park, she
draws on the resources of her sp1en-
did stables.
Wilhelmina came to Brussels partly
to buy some more toy terriers, or Brus-
sells griffons, as they are called here.
She has great Partially for these
animals and brought with her no less
than six.
These royal pets have long been no.
torious in Belgium and Holland. They
are the widest domesticated animals
imaginable, and innumerable are the
trousers of officers and the skirts OF
ladies-in-waiting that they have de-
stroyed. The more savage they are
the more pleased is their royal mis-
tress.
Her favorite griffon she got in this
way: One day while motoring near
Brussels she passed a housemaid who
was followed by three griffons, which
she judged from their barking to be Of
very lively disposition. She followed
the maid home and noted the address.
The next day she drove to the house
and. to her great delight, saw the three
griffons at window. Her appearance
was the signal for much barking, where
upon the owner of the dogs opened the
door to discover the cause and found
himself in the presence of the queen.
He subsequently presented the finest
of the griffons to her majesty.

Before going from Holland to the
milder climate of the Mediterranean
shores, by her doctors advice, Queen
Wilhelmina came to Brussels from The
Hague with her husband in an automo-
bile, driving 1t herself with the skill OF
professional chauffeur.
She seems to have been bent on
showing the people of Brussels that
she can rival their own Princess Eliza
beth as a motor-car driver, which Is
saying a good deal. During her stay
she was seen every morning in the
Bots on her 20-horsepower machine, in
most dainty and becoming motoring
attire.
She strongly objects to the hideous
costumes worn by some women auto
mobilists-green goggles, black mack
intoshes and black silk masks. In her
white suede, fur-trimmed coat she
looked delightfully."- smart, even IN
Brussels, where smart motoring cos
tunes for women are the rule.
Wilhelmina was among the women
pioneers in motoring in Holland, start
ing four years ago with 1O-horse-
power French car The very first day
she took the wheel she guided the auto
successfully through a thick Dutch fog.
She has a decided taste for mechanics,
which is, of course, essential to good
motor driving.
1t cannot he said of her that she
drives in q manner to remind one OF
Mark Twain's shot-loaded jumping
frog. She went spinning-not to say
scorching-in the Bots in car to
which she has given the pet name OF
Willie, in affectionate, If perhaps not
teVerential, memory of her great an
cestor, William the Silent. Willie can
go at least 80 miles an hour untiring-
ly, but, being law-abiding car, OF
course kept within the limits pre-
scribed by legislators who are not of
an automobiling turn of mind. That IS
to say, the police observed no exceed
ing of the speed limit.

The Great Northern road is going to

with view of inducing people to come
here from the east and settle, but the
road wants the assistance of the peo-
pie of the valley in doing So Accord
ing to Allen Jackson of st. Paul, trav-
cling passenger agent for the Great
Northern, it is the plan to get out
handsome booklet explaining the many
advantages accruing to a residence In
the valley. The booklet is to be nicely
illustrated, but Mr.. Jackson requires
the cooperation of the residents of the
valley, particularly the farmers, to
make it success.
He desires to secure articles describ-
ing different parts of the valley, the
crops which can be raised, the yields,
the character of the soil, etc. He is
particularly anxious to have some IT
the successful farmers of the region
write their experiences in cultivatine

who live in the valley to induce more
immigrants to come here" said Mr..
