make it practical she said:
Suppose, children. one OF your
schoolmates should strike you, and
the next day you should bring him

"A choice young man and
goodly."--This is our first intro
duetion to the young man who
: sfterward became king and
. around whom some OF the most
! tragic and sad incidents OF the
: Bible center. How large he
looms up as he steps out into
; prominence and power and how
small he becomes as the fatal
. weaknesses in his character are
revealed by the willfulness and
. pride that plunge him TO fail
ure. After all one is not big
. ger than the character which he
possesses. I. is not the eSter-
. nH appearance, but the inner
qualities Of heart and mind
. which determine ones fitness
for the place Of prominence
and power.
Saul could not stand prosper
ity and promotion. II is so with
. many = man. They are choice
and goodly in the small place.
. but their moral qualities do not
expand with the enlarged
. sphere TO which often fortune
or favor brings them. and as
: result pride and the sense Of
self-importanee lead to the mis-.
; step which results in ultimate
failure.
. "A band Of men whose hearts
God had touched."-A leader by

now following for that leader.
New responsibilities. and new
. resources OF strength and power
for their fulfllment. Although
God had not wanted to give
them a king. desiring TO hold
. that relationship to his people
himself, he was ready to en-
. courage and help the newly
chosen king, and so his spirit
; touched the hearts Of some
choice men OF the kingdom and
filled them with a desire to con-
secrste their lives in service to
! the newly-ehosen king. Who
can estimate what this must
have meant to Saul. Here were
men l., whom he could put his
! trust. because God had touched
. their hearts. Here were men in
sympathy with him in the diff

New York. Feb. Histories relating

sci continue to circulate today but un-
til the trial is resumed tomorrow il is
impossible to say whether Delmas will
continue to act as attorney. RumOrs
Of dissension among the six lawyers
have been frequent the last few days
and as often denied. No doubt there
has been a serious disagreement Of
some sort and that Delmas has found
fault with the alleged actions Of some
of the assistant counsel
The trouble is said TO have arisen
over the publication Of an interview
with Attorney McPike, Delmas' part
ner in which McPike was quoted as
criticising Jerome. At Saturdays con-
ference Of five hours it is said Delmas
criticized his assistants for lack Of sup
port, declaring that they have done ev-
erything TO discredit and make him

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.
Review of Prices and Conditions of
the Week.

Kansas City, Feb. 17.-Cattle receipts
are moderate at 1900 head. Heavy
supplies at Chicago and the presence
Of Lent are bad features but the extra
heavy demand for light weight cuts of
beef is sufficient TO overcome any weak
tendency in prices on butcher weight
cattle. Country demand also holds up
remarkably well, stockers and feeder s.
strong. Experienced dealers predict an
extra heavy call for weighty feeders
during the next two months. with high
er prices on them. Choice 11OO pound
feeders now sell around $500. A stir
ing Of Idaho hay fed steers. l175 pounds.
sold late last week to feeder buyers a.
$40 which indicates the strength Of
demand from country buyers whose
bids exceed those of the packers in
many cases. Recent storms in the
east have hampered the movement of
refrigerator cars. reducing packers de
mands temporarily. and causing fed
steers to decline somewhat in the last
three or four days, a condition will BE-
soon passed. Top beef steers in the
last week brought $3.50. bulk of fed
steers at s4.75 TO S5.15. There is a heavy
demand for COWS and heifers for east
ern shipment, at s3.75 to 81 10, with
choice light heifers upwards to S525.
Gamer cows and the next grade above
them sell at 1925 to 1925. bulls $500 to
Si25. calves $3.50 To S7.25. stockers $40
TO S4.6O, feeders $500 to $500.
Mutton receipts continue to run con-
siderably short Of last year at this sea
son. and prices are now 30 to - cents
above this time a year ago Receipts
were heavy last February. and the
market declining. whereas opposite con-
ditions rule this year. Run is fairly
good at 1000 head but the market re-
mained steady. and trade active. Lambs
sold at $3.50 to $40. weighing from 60

NATIONAL THtAfR
AND OTHER THINGS
An Interesting Interview With Chas.
3. Hanford on the Drama as an
Educator.

Saturday was rather a strenuous
day for the Charles B. Hanford COM
pany, and yesterday was a welcome
Sunday. for it brought a few hours
Of rest before the train left in the
afternoon, San Bernardino being the
next stopping place. The opportunity
was improved for a, little interview
with Mr.. Hanford at the Hotel Adams.
Asked how he liked Phoenix. which is
the reporters stock question for an
opener, he replied seemingly in all
honesty and earnestness that he was
greatly pleased with the city. that il
had been growing in favor with him
ever since his first visit here many
years ago. with the James. Ward. Kid
der company. Moreover. he was graf
flied with the treatment accorded the
company the day before by the large
attendance at both performances. He
said he was pleased to note a SEEM
ingly growing confidence OF the pub
lie in his efforts to give good enter
tainments. and It was not only a sat
isfaction from a business point of
view, but it gave him an inspiration
for greater things.
Mrs. Hanford. who was also pres
ent. said she was perfectly delighted
with Phoenix and had been ever since
former visit when they had driven
around the valley quite extensively
one day. She said that she had been
trying to cultivate 4 little cough so
she could have an excuse to spend
more time here. but thus far she had
been unsuccessful. which after all is
the more to her good fortune.
Continuing his conversation Mr.
Hanford said that his company this
year is larger by ten members than
on any former visit and therefore con-
siderable additional expense is en-
tailed but the results have so far been
satisfactory and he believes that with
fair dealing the public will always be
found To be appreciative. In that con-
nection he said that often it would
suit the convenience or Immediate
business interests Of the company
much better to cancel dates at one
night stand when conditions were
complicated, but he made it a rule

that il was better % fill dates. even

II is on this hope of establishing con-
fidence that he builds much in the fu-
ture. The profession, though devoted
20 art, is after all a business and the
more nearly a theatrical company is
managed on Business principles. the
more successful il is.
Speaking Of the future Mr.. Hanford
outlined some plans he has for fol-
lowing up his present repertoire with
another somewhat correlated in inter-
est and much more spectacular in ef-
feet. They Will be Shakespeare pro-
duct;ons. OF course. for his life is de-
voted To the legitimate and his best
pleasure is in the nearest possible ap-
pro2ch to perfection i'm his art. But IT
would not be proper to refer to his
plans in detail until they have mate
rallied: until he has worked out his
