Solomon followed strange gods
because it seemed the only way
of securing domestic peace and
happiness. He broke with God
In order that he might win the
smiles and favor of the beauti.
fus women of his harem.
1t is not hard to find men
falling before the same tempta-
ton to-day. Naturally men are
pIeasers of themselves and their
friends, rather than God.
Following after the Lord, an
did David his father, would have
been a more difficult road for
Solomon to have travelled, just
as the road of Righteousness to-
day appears for the present time
to be rough and unpleasant.
Every earthly joy and every
earthly friendship which is won
by the sacrifice of loyalty and
devotion to God is a form of
idoIatry which is destructive of
true piety and goodness.
The observation-disclosures of Sol
ONION which made a place for
the gods of the wives he had
taken to himself from the ma
tions about is akin to the broad
mindedness of many in the world
to-day who seek to fraternize the
followers of Christian and non
Christian religions.
But the observation-disclosures
that takes in everything but God
and his truth, is not broad
mindedness at all, but the rank
est kind of narrow-mindedness,
for 1t is letting the things Of
time shut out the things of
eternity; it is permitting the
imaginings of the human heart to
take the place of the everlasting
verities of God.
Doubtless Solomon fIattered
himself upon the clever manner
in which he was reconciIing all of
the varied interests of his house
hold and his kingdom, but when
we read the sequel to the story
of his misstep and behold the
disintegration of the kingdom
and the scattering of Gods peo-
pie we can only excIaim, what
|; folly and Wickedness.
The fathers-in-iaW and the
; brothers-in-Iaw of SoIomon-and
he must have had a host of
them, for 700 of the fairest of
the princesses of the heather ma
tions about were numbered

fellow, and felt pretty much at
home in the liberal atmosphere

can hear some of them congrat-
;; uIatinq him because he was not
narrow and bjgoted like his IA

,, nations.
I Solomon thus made friends
; with the world, but he lost the
{ friendship of God.
; Which would you rather have?
I "know we not that the friend

I God? Whosoever, therefore, will

FOUND OUT THE TROUBLE.
Waitress Discovered Jinnmy's PecuIi
arity in Making Change.

Cash registers are doubtless watch
dogs of private treasures and joys for
ever to the happy clerks who play
lightly upon the keys to register the
amount of your purchase" but there
may come times in the best-regulated
establishments when the vagaries Of
the human factor, without which the
machine will not go, mix up its inter-
nal anatomy SO that chaos reigns.
In a Washington restaurant where
tourists gather to snatch passing
bite between seeing sights and COM
plain that the public buildings do not
open until nine o'clock, thus compell-
ing them to confine their observations
to banking hours, deep mystery has
brooded for days. There was a wide
discrepancy between the receipts as
stamped upon the roll in the cash
register, and the amount of money
found in the drawer at the close Of
business each day.
For long time no solution of the
puzzle could be found A young man,
whose chief characteristic was his
willingness, opened the restaurant at
six every morning and ruled the roost
! alone. But he was known to be hon
est.
At last one of the mattresses, who
arrived one morning just as the lonely
young man was making change for
one of the early customers, found out
what was the matter.
Jimmy, your head is full Of mud
was her classic adjuration. What on
earth are you doing?"
Making the change" replied the
| unperturbed James.
And then the secret was out jim
| my, when he received a bank note or
coin to change, rang up that amount
on the register, without reference to
| what the customer was to pay, and
let it go at that. It was as simple as
could be-
Jimmy is still puzzling over the
matter, for he knows that he put into
the drawer the exact sum that he
rang up, every time, so he cannot see
where the kick comes in

No One to "sit on the Lid. .

Usually, when the president goes
away from the national capital for
any length of time remarked a
stay-at-home official to Washington
star reporter, "he designates some
member of the cabinet to sit on the
lid or. in other words, to represent
him in Washington in case of neces.
sity. That duty usually has been
delegated to either Secretary Root
or Secretary Taft, but has some
times been assumed by other mem
bers of the cabinet. For some unex-
planned reason it was not done this
year, and it has happened that the
highest official of the government on
duty in the national capital for
weeks at time during the summer
has been an assistant secretary to
one of the executive departments
In the past it was extremely IN
usual for the president and all the
members of his cabinet to be away
from Washington at the same time
for any extended period, but that con-
dition existed, and has occurred fire.
| quently since the president went to
Oyster Bay early in June last. Meth
er Secretary Root, Secretary Taft nor
any other member of the cabinet has
been in Washington for any consider
able stretch of time since that date,
and it has happened that all of them
have been away at the same time. No
embarrassment has resulted, how
ever, as the president as well as all
the cabinet ministers have remained
| in close communication with their
representatives who remain in Wash
ington throughout the summer, re-
CARELESS of where they happened to
be, so that really there was no occa-
sion for anyone to hold down the lid

CAUSES RIOTS IN BERLIN.
Denial Of Suffrage Reform Gives

o VI outrage Heform Gives
Troops and Police Stern Work.
Berlin, Jan. IA demand made
In the Prussian landtag for manhood
suffrage in Prussia brought out the
statement from Prince Won Buelow,
the imperial chancellor, that while the
matter required reform the govern.
ment did not consider that manhood
suffrage would be good for the state
and that secret voting would not be
permitted.
The reform would have to take into
consideration the position of the
middle classes and the qualifications
OF age, property and education might
have some weight.
AS soon as the position of the gov
eminent was ready it would be com
municated to the landtag, but the
chancellor did not expect it would be
at this session. Prince Buelow con
cluded his remarks amid a storm OF
Kisses and cheers.
This statement was distinctly un
popular with the people, who had
gathered in large numbers outside the
building. Rioting began and the DO
lice were speedily reinforced. The
demonstration spread through the city
and to stop it the police had to charge
with drawn sabers. A number Of
rioters were injured and some OF the
police sustained wounds.
