wrongs. Accordingly he hunted up
Incledon the next afternoon, finding
him at dinner in Q noted hotel. "Mr

PoIfteness.

Politeness is a just medium be-
tween formality and rudeness. It
is, in fact, good nature regulated BY
quick discernment, which proper
tons Itself to every situation and
every character. It is a restraint
laid by reason and benevolence on
every irregularity of temper, of ap-
petite and passion. It accommO-
dates itself to the laws of custom
and fashion as long as they are not
inconsistent with the higher obi
cations of virtue and religion.

Jewish Legend of Solomon and the
House of the Lord.

Rouse OF INC Loro.
so that there was neither ham
mer nor ak nor any other tool of
iron heard in the house while it was
building q Kings vi, y. The above
is a Scriptural quotation, to be
found at the citation given, and is
concerning the building of Solo
mons temple. The reason therein
assigned for the perfect quietude
which existed in and about the great
building while it was in course of
erection is that the stones and tim
bers we're all made ready before be-
ing brought to the site of the great
building. Heber beautifully alludes
to this in the little couplet, in which
he says:
No hammer fell, no ponderous axes rung
Like some tall palm the mystic fabric
sprung.
The Jews have a legend to the
effect that Solomon did not employ
men In building the great ''house
of the Lord" but that he was aided
in the gigantic undertaking by the
genn. Having a premonition that
he would not live to see the build
ing finished, Solomon prayed to God
that his death might be concealed
from the genii until the structure
was finished. Immediately after he
made a staff from sprout of the
tree of life, which was growing in
his garden, and leaning upon this
he died, standing bolt upright in the
unfinished temple.
Those who saw him thought that
he was absorbed in prayer, and they
did not disturb him for upward of
whole year. Still the genH worked
day and night, thinking that they
were heing constantly watched by
him whose eyes had been closed in
death many weeks.
All this time, so the legend says,
little white ants Zone account says
red mice) we're gnawing at the staff,
and when the temple was finally fin
ished the staff gave way, and the
body Of the dead Solomon fell prone
upon the floor. Mohammed alludes
to this queer legend in the Koran
(see Sura xxxiv), where he says,
"When he God had decreed that
Solomon should die, nothing discov-
cred his death unto them (the geniD

Kidney Troubles May be Sappins
Your Life Away. Brownsville People
Have Learned This Fact

When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without ap-
parent cause, becomes weak, Ian
guild, depressed, suffers backache,
headache, dizzy spells and urinary
disorders, look to the kidneys for
the cause of it all. Keep the kid
neys well and they will keep you
well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them well.
J.P. Anderson, carpenter, liv-
ing in the southern part of
Corpus Christi, Texas, says:
Ny Kidneys have given me more
or less trouble for the past two
years. A sharp twinge of pain at
times, darting through my back,
loins and the secretions were too
frequent and caused much annoy
ance, especially in the winter. My
son saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised and brought home box.
l used them and obtained great
benefit. The action of the kidneys
was corrected and my back has
given me no trouble since. I can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
with pleasure.
