The building and hx- lures are valued at $2,500, which leaves the amount the stockholders or depos- itors stand to lose, about $7,5oo. This is in addition to the capital invested which the stockholders will loce.

 David lays the foundations of a city beside which the spiendors of even imperial Rome fade. as the stars do when the sun rises--a city. scene of the most transcendent events In hu- man history. meet type of the City Celestial.
 The Teacher.s Lantern.
 There was parallel evoiution: a king for nation: nation for a king. Marclaren describes David's evolution finely: "SchooIed by suf- fering, and in the full maturity of his powers. enriched by the singuiarly various experiences of his changeful life. tempered by the swift aiterna- tions of heat and cold, polished by friction. consolidated by heavy blows, he has been welded Into fitting in strument for Gods purposes"
 By the same hard experience the na- tiop discovered the indispensable nec- essity of unity under one capable sov- ereigr The tribal fragments "floated hither aad thither, precisely as the masts and boards of wrecked ship are cast against each other by the waves"
 It was the splendid destiny of David to take these fragments and recon struet ship of state which could stand the stress of a thousand years ship on the fate of which. in the holiest sense. hung.
 Humanity with it's fears.
 With all its hopes os future years"
 While the history of Greece was still mythical. the seeds of liberty were planted in Palestine. Limita- tions were imposed upon monarchy, ideal monarch was he who sheph erded the people. No sovereign had a right to fleece or feed upon his subjects. Governors existed for the governed, and not vice versa.
 David was an ideal patriot. He iiv- ed. suffered, planned. fought. govern ed-all for his country's veal
 
 The sanctity of religion insures the highest possible stability to the State. David took his oath of office and was anointed before the Lord.
 The Jebusites' confidence fin the un- approachableness of their mountain of overconfidence. Let him that thinketh his position unassailable take heed lest he be overpowsFed. An astute enemy never fails to find the one vulnerable point. an unguarded water r-course.
 
 We err when we think of the He- brew realm as a tiny state Under David Ii ranked at once as a mighty monarchy. ranking even with Assyria and Babylon. David grew great. He took his place among the crowned heads. He built a palace becoming his state. He had a foreign policy tn- yolving conquest and treaty. He ex- tended his boundaries twenty-fold, Tn the midst of 1t all, however. he de- voutly recognized the presence and hand of Jehovah. The Lord God of hosts was with him" He perceived that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had ex- alted his Kingdom for his people Is- raers sake"

To Take Up Normal School Work.

State Superintendent of Instruction J. J Doyne has announced that he will soon resign his position in order to take up his work as president of the new State Normal School of Con- way, which duties he is to enter upon July 1. His resignation will be sub mitted to Governor Pindall before that time, in order that the governor may have plenty of time to appoint sue cessor to fill MT. Doyne's unexpired term. Reports to the effect that MT. Doyne has already submitted his re- signation to the governor are denied by both Mr. Doyne and Governor Pindall. MT. Doynes term of office expires November l, 1908. His success sor will have about four months to serve. Although the governor has made 20 statement whatever as to whom he will appoint in case of MT. Doyne's resignation. it is generally be- lieved in state house circles that George B. Cook of Hot Springs, can didate for state superintendent of in- struction in the present campaign, will  be chosen. His nomination to the office is now assured. as he has no opposition, and his consequent cleo ton, so that in any event he will step into the office November l. It is not thought that the goveror would deem it worth while to appoint anyone else for a short time Mir. Doyne's re-
 
 as it has been known that he would have to take up the duties of presi- dent of the new normal school July l. Although the school building will not be completed at that time, he will have 10 commence the work of arranging courses ana school work in order 10 have everything planned by the time the school opens in the fall.

HAPPY OLD AGE
Moss Likely to Follow Proper Eating

As old age advances, we require less food to replace waste, and food that will not oyertaX the digestive organs, while supplying true nourishment.
 Such an ideal food is found in Grape Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley in the barley which changes the starch into sugar.
 /. The phosphates also, placed up un- der the bran-coat of the wheat, are in cluded in Grape-Nuts, but left out of white flour. They are necessary to the building of brain and nerve cells.
 T have used Grape-Nuts," writes an Iowa man, for s years and feel as good and am stronger than 1 was ten years ago. l am over "A years old, and at tend to my business every day.
 Among my customers l meet a man every day vho is g years old and at tributes his good health to the use of Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has used for the last 5 years. He mixes Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they go fine together
 For many years before I began to eat Grape-Nuts, l could not say that l enjoyed life or knew what it was to be able to say I am we'll I suffered greatly with constipation, now my hab- it's are as regular as ever in my life
 Whenever 1 make extra effort depend on Grape-Nuts food and it just fills the bill. 1 can think and write a great deal easier

May Be RilIiet's Partner in Attsok.

Is Harry Crumpton, the handson.' young barber, arrested at Hope and taken 10 Little Rock, by Detective Hawkins, the partner of Bert Rilliet. who was shot and killed about two weeks ago by Charles J. Roberts, a railway mail clerk, after the two men had attempted to snatch a diamond stud from him al Little Rock? The police say so. Roberts says he is al most positive that Crumpton is the man who fled when Rilliet was shot. Crumpton, who is a native of Arkan- sas, having relatives in Parasf1uld and brother in Little Rock, will base his defense upon an alibi. He claims to have been al the home of his brother there on the night the attempt was made to rob Roberts. The pris- oner, who is being held on charge of attempted highway robbery main tained splendid composure when sweated by the detectives Thursday night He was brought into the pri- vate room of the detective headquar- ters. where he underwent q searching interview At the close of the in terview Crumpton exhibited some ner- vousness, his breath came fast, and his heart thTobs were almost audible to those present. Closeted with Crumpton and the detectives was City Attorney w Burt Brooks. Chief of Police Frank McMahon stated that he is satisfied that the department has the right man. Roberts met Crump- ton face to face at the police station late Thursday afternoon. The mail clerk was practically positive that Crumpton is the man who was with Rilliet and whom he shot al as the man fled. Roberts stated. that Crump- ton did not have on the same clothing as Rilliet's companion wore on that ight Crumptons capture was effected after some clever detective work by the Little Rock Police Department. Shortly after the attempted hold-uq and killing of Rilliet, Chief McMallon had a letter from George T. O'HaYeF. chief of police al Memphis, enclosing q photograph of Crumpton, stating tGdi AIuH1pIbi Haul 'o1ciPtd HUH 'i4' rock pile there, and was wanted 10 serve out the balence of his term The department al Little Rock learned that both Crumpton and Rilliet were barbers, and that they left Memphis on the same day. The police also found that Crumpton had left Little Rock on the day following the killing of Rlliet They tracked him to Arka- delphia and from there 10 Hope, where his arrest was ordered. While in jail al Hope, Grumpton is alleged to have stolen $l0 from q fellowpris- oner. who was intoxicated. According 10 Detective Hawkins. the sheriff at Hope asked that Crumpton be search cd at the depot upon complaint of the drunken prisoner When Crumpton was confronted with the charge. he is said To have pulled $lo00 out of his pocket ad handed il to the sheriff 10 he returned to the drunken prisoner By order of Chief McMahon. Crump- ton was removed to the county jail, where a close watch will be kept upon him.
