THE STORY.

HIRAM. king of Tyre, received the
III news Of the, death of the good
King David with deep sorrow. He
had been proud to count himself one
OF David's friends, Ever since the in
cidents years before which had
brought them together in friendly in.
tercourse these two kings had main
tained the most cordial relations.
The merchants Of the busy CONNER
cial Tyre found good markets in the
kingdom of Israel for their merchan-
disc, which came to that port from
all parts of the world, for the Tyreans
were great traders. And in exchange
they took the fruits and the grains,
the sheep and the cattle, which the
land of Israel produced so bountifully.
And SO as a result there had come to
exist between the kingdom of Tyre
and the kingdom Of Israel the most
friendly intercourse. Ard Hiram de,
lighted in this friendship which the
good King David showed towards him,
Hiram was a great lover of the truest
and best In manhood, and long before
he had come to the kingdom and
while yet David was fleeing hither and
thither to escape the murderous wrath
OF Saul, he had felt a great admira.
ton for the bold young adventurer
who was ever ready to strike a blow

} dex TO the character and ideals
: Of this man, Hiram, king of
Tyre, There can be no ques-
, ton but that this friendship was
based entirely upon the quail.
ties Of goodness, and manhood
and honor characteristic Of
both men. rather than upon
selfish motives Of political OF
material advantage to be gained.
I II has been said most truth
, fully that "true friendships are

on this friendship which exist
ed between this king Of Tyre
and King David we find the
brand mark Of heaven. It was
Of that enduring kind which
when the father was gone was
transferred with warm-hearted
loyalty to the son.
This, then, Is the first point
we would emphasize: The en-
during quality Of true friend

is that which fits like the sun
beam and is gone when the
cloud arises and darkness and
trouble come? Who is worthy

friendship7 Friend to the IA

OF his old friend King David.

Severe injuries were incurred by

the Boston pike south of the city this
morning Mrs Murray was thrown

After the accident, Mr.. Murray notified
A. J. Spekenhier. who went to the as
sistance of the couple in his large car.
Mr. and Mrs. Murray left their home
on East Main street in their car with
the intention of going to College Cor
ner to attend the funeral of a friend.
In leaving their garage the car struck
against the side of the doorway, Mr..
Murray did not anticipate any injury
to the car and nothing appeared wrong
with the apparatus. When near the
Steen home. the steering gear gave a
lurCh and before the car could be stop
ped, it was beyond control. 1t plung-
ed into a ditch at the side of the road
and the occupants were hurled from

The escape of the two is regarded as
fortunate. Mrs. Murray's wearing APP

the fence. The injuries of Mr.. Murray
will not confine him to the house.

a note written by Bentlage in which he
stated that on the receipt of the first
letter he thought it TO be a Joke but
now he realized the unknown author
was in earnest. He said that he plac-

was all he had been able to secure but
that as soon as he could secure the
other $40 he would put it under the
tree. He hoped that the author would
not carry out any of his threats.
