THE STORY.

sc URELY they will remember my
- charge to deal gently with the
young mani"
Thus spoke King David half aloud
to himself as he sat in the gate of the
city waiting for tidings from the army
which had gone forth that morning
to battle with the army of Absalom,
his son. Over and over again he had
repeated the words as he had kept his
long vigil, and the plaintive yearning
in the voice and the haggard, care
worn look upon the face indicated the
depth of feelings which surged within.
1t was David the father, and not
David the king, who strained his eyes
out over the plain, and longed for
tidings of the hayward son. Not
since he had left Jerusalem, driven
forth by the strong conspiracy of Alb
salon, had he ceased to yearn for the
young man or plan for his safety II
the rebellion should be successfully
crushed.
For this reason when the army
which had rallied to the support of
King David was marching forth he
charged the captains of the three divi-
sions, saying: Deal gently for my
sake with the young man, even with
Absalom." And the men standing
near heard and told others so that il
was known to all the army what
David had said. And now as he sat
there in the gate and the hours
dragged slowly by, David wondered if
his admonition would be needed. His
heart was troubled because of the
weight of personal guilt which he felt
was responsible in large measure Cor
the present trouble.
"Ah," he sighed, how wish could
go back 20, 30 years. 1t is my sin
which has brought this upon me.

The Lesson of the Flowers.

One of the first flowers to bloom in
the spring is the hepatica or liver
wort. The chill of the winter was in
the air, and the SHOWS were hardly
gone, when l saw some beginning to
grow amid the dried leaves my stick
had poked away. The sturdy hope of
the plant moved and helped me. Never
give up; keep alive and alert even
amid the dreariest scenes and times.

than most people realize. A home does
not consist merely of a house. The
surroundings have great deal to do
with persons comfort. You want
shade trees but you don't want too
much shade You want flowers, shrub
berry and climbing vines, and of course
you must have a place for them in
their right places. You cannot buy
a miscellaneous assortment of such
things from nursery and stick them
in the ground in any kind of order,
or leave the planting to some handy
man of all work. To be satisfactory
you must study the design of tho
house as well as the shape, size and
location of the lot, and you must buy
plants and trees that are suitable to
the soil, to the climate and to your
own taste.
1t pays we'll to give careful atten
ton to the preparation of the soil.
You cannot grow any kind of vegeta
ton satisfactorily on poor soil. 1t
does not cost great deal to haul in
good soil sufficient to cover the whole
lot foot deep, or this may not be
necessary. A mixture of good soil,
we'll rotted manure and commercial
fertilizer usually will tone up almost
any lot so the stuff planted will give
good results.

ed away within the four walls and roof
of this house. 1t is built on the story
and a half plan, is twenty-five feet six
inches wide and thirty-siX feet long
on the ground without measuring the
porches.
This is an economical way to build
n medium sized house, because you
get the roof space for the upper
rooms, space that is very often just
thrown away on an attic. The upper
bedrooms fit into the gables and the
clothes closets fit in between the
roof, so there is no waste space at
all and you get square ceilings, too,
or nearly so.
1t depends a good deal on climate
whether you want a house built like
this, or whether you want to elevate
the roof clear above the upper rooms.
In some hot valleys where the sun
seems to beat down a little hotter
each day during the summer higher
roof might be an advantage, but on
the northern hills where few really
hot days are known and where the
nights are usually cool, this style of
house is just about as comfortable
as any in the summer time and it is
a great deal warmer and more coy
in winter. The northern climate seems
to have good deal more winter than
summer, in fact q good many of the
northern states get six or seven
months winter and the balance of the
year is divided up between cloudy
days and cool weather.
1t is to settle such questions that
house plans are for. If a person has
a plain straightforward plan of a
house with the size plainly given and
he shape and size of the rooms prop
orly designated be cen study it over
and decide at leisure about the differ
ent points. An economy in building

hall with an open stair. This seems
to be the most suitable entrance and
the most satisfactory way of going up

tried repeatedly, but builders have
never found a satisfactory substitute
for a front hall and a stair of this
kind. 1t lands far enough back up
stairs to leave room for a good bed.

SERMONETTE.

"is the young man Absalom
{ safe ?-Many a father to-day is
!, asking this question. The mis-
} take is that the query comes
} too late. The safety of the
young man is not a matter of
concern until the young man
has progressed in the down.
ward pathway of sin to the point
; where turning back is improb-
able and almost impossible.
David's anxiety was the great
: er because Of the inner con-
} sciousness of his own RESPONSE
} bIity for the Waywardness
I and wickedness of his son. AS
he asks the question:: as the
young man Absalom safer"
there comes crowding in upon
him the memory of many lost
opportunities in the past for
making sure that the young
man was safe.
Parents should begin to ask
this question:: ais the young
man saf-?" not after he has
gone out into the way of temp
tation and sin, but years before
while he is yet in the cradle.
There the praying and the PLAN
} ming should be done which will
safeguard the growing life.
The question should be asked
az the boy goes out to mingle
with his companions and the
parents wisely pick the init
mate associates. The question
should be asked again and
again, and should be as often
answered by the parent taking
the time and trouble to know
where the boy is and what he
is doing.
"And the king was much
} moved, and went up to the
chamber over the gate, and
{ wept." ~ What poignant and
J hopeless grief is that which
arises from a consciousness of
guilty responsibility for the
tragedy which has fallen. That
: is a pitiabIe sight-the aged
} king utterly crushed and incon-
J solabIe because his son had gone
out intoeternal darkness. He had
hoped he might be spared, cling
} ing, no doubt, to the thought
that he might yet turn to the
God he DAVID loved. And when
the truth was borne in upon his
{, heart that it was now too late,
} too late, he was utterly over
whelmed.
1t is hard to lose the loved
: ones even when we know they
!, are safe with God, even when
the dying hour is made bright
with the consciousness of Gods
presence, but what grief is that
which sees no ray of light,
, which knows that the Goddess
life has sunk into the Goddess
grave. And then how doubIy
hard to realize that because of
the sins of ones life and be-
} cause of the failure to speak the
( word, that lost soul is charge
( able to him.
David was selfish in his grief.
! He forgot his faithful, loyal fol-
lowers and the responsibilities
Of kinsship in his sorrow over
I worthless son. Not even the
grief of bereaved life should

and his duty. Many an one
shuts himself up to his grief

Weekly reports issued by comptrol-

the past threc weeks show a decrease
In the earnings OF the company over

The estimated earnings for the first

No explanation is given, but railroad
men who have been watching the re-

tend that this Is the inevitable result
of the cut in revenue. In a number
of Southern states the company is COM
plying with the law under protest. Up

there has been some falling off in the
