Lifted up his hand against
the kine."-Jereboam had gained
the favorable regard of King
Solomon by his ability, industry
and bravery and had been gener-
ousIy rewarded with high posi-
ton and great authority, being
made chief over the most power
full tribe of the nation of Israel.
But like many another his great
success and the favors shown
him only turned him from loyal
service to the king to the serving
of personal ambition.
Selfish ambition is always
ready to offer up the friendships
of life upon the altar of personal
gain.
Jereboam was not the first
man nor is he the last man to
let ambition dull his moral per-
ceptions and blind him to the OBJ
legations he has taken upon him
self.
Place side by side the pic.
lures of the bright suspicious be-
ginning and the gloomy, dismal
ending of Jereboam's life and we
can read the story of cause and
effect; the sowing and the reap
ing. God gave to this promising
young man great opportunities
and great gifts, ne sent his proph-
ct to him to plead that righteous
ness and truth and devotion to
God might control his life, but
he turned a deaf ear to Gods
voice and he Prostituted his
sacred trusts to the realization
!, Of personal gain, and Just as he
sacrificed the friendship of the
king SO he forfeited the favor of
God. He was afraid to do right,
thinking to lose all, and in doing
wrong he found ultimately that
he had lost all and brought dis
aster and disgrace upon his
household.
Ambition needs the checkrein
Of devotion to God and loyalty
TO friends.
Jereboam owed much, very
much, to his friend King Solo,
mon, and then used the place
and power thus conferred upon
him to the hurting of his friend.
Thus we find Jereboam repay
ing SoIomon's kindness in the
worlds coin Of ingratitude.
A trust incurred should not
become the open door of oppor-
tunity for the securing of per-
sonaI gain.
A false friend! How repuI-
sive the thought! How unworthy
any member of the human fam
lily. And yet how often are such
met with. There is nothing
which so wrecks ones faith in
human nature as to have those
from whom we would naturally
expect the most prove false, and
not only use the favors which
have been shown them for per-
sona gain, but to the positive
hurt Of the former friend.
every man is a friend to him
that giveth gifts" says Solomon,
but it is not the kind of friend
ship that sticks, but is of that
quality which characterized Jer-
eboam.

\ twelvemonth rolled by and dur
ing the time Jereboam had not been
idle. From the hour Of his interview
with the prophet in the field he had
not ceased ieverish, eager plotting
against the king, for said he, what |
am to have, will secure at once"
while at the same time he sought to
maintain a sembance Of loyalty to
King Solomon. But inkling Of the fal,
sity Of Jereboam reaching the ears Of
Solomon, he sought to XIII him, and
Jereboam fed into Egypt TO escape
him.

OPTIMISTIC
PLEASED AT SALE OF coMPANY's
$4,000, 900 OF eoNps-sAYs BUS
MESS MEN HAVE LEARNED
CONSERVATISM

PHILADELPHIA, May Am an In
terview made public today. James Nc
Crea, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co.. spoke in an optimistic
way concerning the business condi-
tons of today. basing his statements
not only upon the ready sale and over
subscription OF the $40.000,000 worth
OF Pennsylvania bonds, but upon the
general outlook
only a few weeks ago." said he in
speaking OF the bond issue, we were
told that 1t would be almost impossible
to dispose OF $20,0OO,000 worth of
bonds without appealing 10 English
capitalists. Now 1t appears that we
could obtain many times that amount
right here in the United States merely
for the asking.
The recent depression has taught
conservatism to business men In all
walks OF life. The fact that our me-
dunn OF money circulation was too
small for the volume OF business at
tempted was only one Of the causes.
Political unrest had something TO do
with II, but in my opinion the lack OF
conservatism everywhere shown was
for the most part responsible.
The result? The people have
learned TO live on less and TO spend
less for the things not absolutely nee.
essary."

CLEVELAND'S CONDITION
BELIEVED TO BE GRAVE

LAKEWOOD, N. j.. May 4.-There
is much mystery concerning former
President Clevelands illness and his
physicians positively refuse to give
any information as to his condition.
Reports are conflicting and, despite
an optimistic statement given out by
Mrs. Cleveland, that the former presi-
dent continues to improve" It was
learned today on good authority that
his condition was not as hopeful as
might be expected.

DEFEATED

TEXAN AS NATIONAL DELE

THEY HAVE WON.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 4.--The anti
Bailey leaders feel much encouraged
over latest reports from the count In
the different counties. and 1t Is now
being claimed by the more enthusiast
tic men OF that faction that the anal
count will show that Bailey has been
defeated for delegate-at-large 10 the
national convention by bare major
ity. III elected his majority will not
be more than 10000 say disinterested
conservatives. The Bailey people
have pulled down their estimate TO
25.0 600 majority from $4,000 which was
given last night based on early re-
turns.
TYLER Tex, May s--Cone John
son, OF the anti-Bailey ticket for del
egates-a large TO the national Demo
cratic convention, has given out the
following statement
The returns SO far received indi-
cate that the Bailey ticket succeeds.
When IL is remembered that Bailey
said the attack was on his political
and personal integrity, the vote Is q
fearful rebuke to him, even II he wins
by $4,000, as claimed. The result Is
a victory for our cause AT the begin
ming no one dreamed that We could
win. Our forces we're struggling and
disorganized, we had to get out an
army from those who had followed In
his. We had to fight well-organized
political machine and at the last mo-
ment Bailey, who had always been a
prohibitionist. traded with the whisky
interests and announced to them that
he would be against state prohibition
In the coming fight on that question.
THE fight will not cease until the
principle is established that no sena-
tor can be the attorney and adviser
OF Standard Oil, or the deyotee Of
Wallst. and frenzied finance"
