THE STORY.

CONDITIONS in Jerusalem were
~ reaching desperate state. The
words of Rabshakeh, the general OF
the great Assyrian army which was
encamped against the city, had struck
terror into the hearts of everyone,
and only few stanch followers of
King HeZekiah sustained him in his
determination to make no sort of COM
promise with the enemy. In fact, there
was rising throughout the city an I'M
dercurrent of sentiment in favor of &C.
cepting the offer of Rabshakeh. It
were better, they reasoned, to yield
while yet they might obtain mercy
than to be put to the sword after the
hosts of the Assyrians had swept over
the city.
It was all well enough to talk about
deliverance which God would send
but who was. there that could not see
that their case was hopeless and that
the forces of Rabshakeh were drawing
in closer upon the city every day?
Were not the words of this great
Assyrian general true? Had not Ha-
math and Arphad and Sepharvaim
been crushed by his mighty arm?
Had not Samaria felt the force of his
wrath? How then could Jerusalem
hope to escape? Rabshakeh had chal-
lenged the city to provide warriors
for 1000 horses which he would fur
nish. Why, there were not half that
number able to carry spear and ride
upon the back of a charger. There
was grim humor il the challenge of
Rabshakeh, and it drove home more
keenly than ever the hopeless weak
ness of the city.
1t is not at all strange therefore in
the presence of that powerful Assyrian
army and the known helplessness of
the city, that the words of the king
and the encouragement of the prophet
Isaiah did not carry much weight,
and that there sprang up here
and there all over the city smol-
dering fires which threatened to
break out in open insurrection,
which could have but one end, the
throwing open of the gates of the city
to the enemy
In the palace itself the disaffection
was strong and it was not long before
conspiracy was on foot to betray the
city into the hands Of Rabshakeh.

vain prostrations and pleadings in the.

TO believe that Attorney General

which he is very much enamored.
But Ellis may be, some say will be,
bonaparte's successor.
In 1902, when he was near the end
OF six years service as assistant cor
poration counsel of the Queen city,
some one was wanted to draft the
municipal code which the Buckeye
legislature was to enact. Ellis, with
his reputation for balancing words
splendidly, was chosen. He did the
work admirably. There were many
personal liberty advocates in Cincin-
natl whom the Republicans did not
want to offend, but the convictions of
other populous classes of the commu-
nifty had to be considered. Ellis, hold
ing the office that President Hayes
had once held in Cincinnati, dressed
the code up in the most attractive
verbiage. He was widely applauded
by the Republicans.
He left Cincinnati for a time, but
returned and interested himself in
politics. At first he was very indie
pendent. He did not like George Cox,
the Cincinnati boss, who, according
to the orthodox Republican idea in
that town, can do no wrong. The
while he dabbled in politics, however,
Ellis got back into newspaper work.

recently broke all previous records for
climbing Mont Blanc by making the
trip to the top and back from Grands
Mulets in tn hours.
Prof. Hobbs has performed many
other mountain climbing feats, but
regards the Mont Blanc ascension his
proudest effort.
He has made several trips abroad
in the last dozen years or more for
the especial purpose of studying the
geological formation of mountains,
and was present at Mt Vesuvius at
the time of its last eruption, two
years ago. At that time he earned
the title Of "the crazy American" be-
cause of the lack of fear he showed
in going as near to the crater of the
volcano as possible, even before the
eruptions had ceased.
Prof. Hobbs was graduated from the
Worcester Polytechnic institute with
the class of 1888, and Immediately
after graduation entered the Johns
Hopkins university in Baltimore,
where he pursued four years course
and received the degree of Phi. D. He
then entered Harvard college for a
postgraduate course, and after COM
pleting his studies there studied in
German universities for several years.
He has been professor of geology at
Ann Arbor for two years previous to
which he was connected with the Uni
yersity Of Wisconsin.

SERMONETTE.

How different the manner of
Z Hezekiah when desperate condi-
I tons faced the nation from that of
z Ahaz. The latter turned farther
from God. The other drew nearer
to God.
Trouble works curse or blessing
to the life. It either drives from
] God or links up closer to God.
As soon as the evil tidinas
reached the king he laid aside his
kingIy robes and "Went into the
house of the Lord" An excellent
thing to do.
He might have called a council
of the chief men of his nation and
sought by the wisdom of men to
solve the problems that faced
him. But no. He knew God we'll
enough to want to get near Him
in his trouble. Blessed and for
tunate indeed is the man who thus
meets his troubles.
But not only did he seek to get
right with God himself and to lay
his cause in His hands, but he
sent at once and enlisted the SYM
pathy and help of Gods prophet,
and in honoring Gods prophet by
his condolences and his plea for
help he was honoring himself.
We fail sometimes in our efforts
to meet trying situations because
we do not give God a chance to
speak to US through His chosen
messengers.
Hezekiah's messengers found
the prophet prepared to receive
them and send them back with a
message of encouragement. God
had been there before them en-
tightening the understanding of
the prophet so that he was able
to return the answer which the
king sought.
Is it not wonderful to think how
God goes before us to prepare the
way? We go perhaps with trem-
bling heart to seek the help we
need, and 10, we find Gods spirit
has been there before US and has
prepared the friend to speak the
word of which we are SO much in
need.
Again a little later when Heze-
kiah received profane and
threatening letter from the hand
of the foe which was encamped
against Jerusalem he ventured no
reply until he had taken 1t and
spread it before the Lord in the
temple and had made the matter
a subject OF earnest prayer. Oh,
that we might manifest the same
simple, chiIdIke spirit and spread
before the Lord all the knotty
problems of life. God would not
fail US, but would give US the wis
dom which would confound the
mighty.

Caster Driven Through Tree Limb.

the curious effects produced by one of

That number Of houses should

it should pick up a caster from table,
twist off the handle and drive the
spindle through the branch of wal
nut tree is surely no common occur
renee. Mr.. Bricker assures us that be-
fore the storm the caster found a
place on the table of Mr.. G. F. Franks,
that it was intact with the bottles in
their intended positions; yet after the
tornado the base was found in wal
nut tree limb, exactly as it is shown
in the accompanying photograph. The

FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT.
Necessity of Harmonious Co-Opera-
ton on Part of All Citizens.

Towns in agricultural districts ap-
parently are awakening to the impor
lance of organizing clubs and associa
lions for the purpose of public inn
provements and the protection Of
home industries. The field for work
is broad 1t is the business of the
town that makes the place of impor
lance. Any institution that will give
employment to labor, that will bring
more people and more capital to any
town is a thing to be desired. Many
towns in which commercial clubs have
been lately organized, have a wide
field in the simple matter of keeping
the people of the town and surround
ing country from sending money to
other cities for supplies of various
kinds that can as well be purchased
at home. Every dollar sent to mail
order house or department store in
another city impoverishes the town
just so much. 1t Is the business men
of the small towns who pay the taxes,
support the churches and schools, not
the far-off mail-order house, and they
are deserving of all the trade of their
home place. Don't try to bring new
business establishments to your town
until local evils are remedied.

Personality in business is an i'm

Wanamaker stores, Marshall Field,
the Tiffanys-and you can go down
the line from the time of A. T. Stew
art and Taylor and you will find that
there is a great deal in name in
the mercantile line. In every town
the successful stores can be picked
out at a glance. In some towns there
seems to be an inclination to avoid
the use of signs, and there are stores
with nothing to indicate the stocks of
goods carried or the names of the
owners. Generally the interiors of
these stores are in harmony with the
outside-an indication of lax business
methods and kind of cateh-ascatch-
can affair, as far as gathering in trade
is concerned Such methods have
never been known to pay well. IL

USE FOR WORN WAISTS.
Fixed Up a Little, They Make Fine
Corset Covers.

Most women dislike to throw away
lingerie waists even after they are
too worn for further use because of
the work lavished on these expensive
and perishable things. There are
yards of perfectly good lace and en-
brodiery in them and the body part is
hardly worn, but the collars are hope
less, the yokes are worn and the
sleeves and cuffs are split and worn.
II you have any waists of this de-
scription bring them to view and see
If when the collars and yokes and
sleeves are cut off they could not be
made into perfectly beautiful corset
covers. You will find at least one or
two which can be made over. Rip
out the sleeves and cut off the yoke
to the depth which you desire your
corset cover to be. Bind the top and
arm holes with narrow bias bands and
sew row of beading and lace to
the top and a row of lace in each arm
hole.
Now try it on and carefully mark
the belt line. Remove it and cut any
material below the line away Now
gather it into band and finish the
band with a button and button hole.
Mend any little places which need
stitch or two, and you will be re-
warded with the daintiest and pref
test lingerie corset cover which you
could hope to possess.

NOVELTY. IN GIRLS, NEcKWEAR.
Introduction of coIors Has Proved
Welcome Innovation.

The introduction of color is nov
city in neckwear for the smart girl
White, alone, and unadorned, is sell
dom to be found among the newest
styles in neckwear.
In shape little change is to be seen.
The most popular is a high turnover,
meeting at the top as well as at the
bottom. In the outer collar, or turn
over, however, there is no limit to
variety.
AS two tones are popular in dress
materials, SO have they made their
way into collars. For mornings in
the country, golfing, riding or motor
ing, there are pinks, blues and greens.
The edges are either scalloped or fin
ished with narrow hemstitched lines.
Establishment is given to some by
the lines being intersected with polka
dots, in a shade darker than the heav-
ier stripe On plain collars-that is to
say, those whose backgrounds are
white or else solid color-the dots are
formed into stripes by joining the
spots with the same thread.
Many of the solid colored linen col
lars have fronts Or tabs to match, the
ends in white sprays of French en-
broidery. In this case the edge of
the collar is scalloped in white, and
there is a small flower design in
each corner.
