President Lured Into the Muldoon Test

confirm Mr.. Roots story, President
Roosevelt suggested, skeptically, that
he would like to try this stif athletic
proposition of Muldoon's.
Accordingly, Gen. Bell commanded
the expedition, which set out across
the country. The horsemanship test
set for army officers is five miles at
walk, five miles at a trot and five miles
at gallop. The Muldoon test, entire
ly on foot, is eight miles at walk and
seven on trot.
The going was heavy, for the wealth
er was bad. Gen. Bell went over the
course easily. President Roosevelt
went over the course, but not easily.
The question as to what President
Roosevelt is to do after March 4, 1909,
has been partly answered as result
of this trial under the direction of
Gen. Bell.
Before he hunts tigers in India, or
lions in the African Jungle, or occupies
a house in London, the president will
undoubtedly go to Muldoon's Nntil he
can walk eight miles and then run
seven on top of that.
He has no intention Of giving up on
simple little thing like this. But
until he has Muldoon himself to teach
him how the president will avoid fol-
lowing the treatment with Gen. Bell.
OF course 1t would have been insub-
ordination, or worse, for Gen. Bell to
have stiffened the Muldoon test for
the benefit Of his superior officer Con-
sequently no one has dared to suggest
that he did, but the boy subalterns
at the Army and Navy club are all In a
broad grin.
Fat officers who bounced about In
the saddle for the Is required miles
last fall are wearing grin that is
broader still.

r HE regular army is revenged. Last

ship test.
Gen. J. Franklin Bell, chief of the
general star, the other day, beguiled
the president to William Muldoon's
15-mile test on foot.
Both the president and Gen. Bell
were guests, after their hike, at a
dinner given by Postmaster General
Meyer. Gen. Bell was as fit as could
be. The president still was fit-for
dinner. But he admitted he had lost
all his appetite for Muldoon tests.
The president exhibited great curl
osity as to the Muldoon system of fit-
dinner season, since Secretary Root
and Gen. Bell have successfully taken
the course at White Plains.
Secretary Root, to be sure, Is not
fat, He was suffering from too much
Monroe doctrine and nervous agita-
tion over the open door in China when
he surrendered himself to the hands of
the professor.
But Gen. Bell is fat. or was, until
he returned from White Plains. The
president did not pay much heed to
Mr. Roots account of his strenuous
days at Muldoon's, because Mr.. Root
is not athletic. He even avoids golf.

ROUND THE CAPITAL
Information and Cossp Picked Up Here

Are the New Pets Of Congress

among the dignified members OF the
senate.
With Its two new members congress
has been economical. Each will re.
ceive the regular salary Of $500. but
the 20 cents a mile travel gift is not
for them. Two thousand dollars
apiece for each round trip is their
travel allowance.
Neither the house nor the senate
was particularly prepared for them.
Although the authority for the selec-
tion Of the commissioners was given
in the Philippines organic act several
years ago 1t remained for the first as
sembly last fall to make their choice
possible. Then the commissioners
slipped across the Pacific and pre-
sented themselves at the capital.
Congress had not been thinking
much about their coming or their 60
ing until they wanted to know what
rights resident commissioners" had in
congress. When they left home one
felt that the United States would let
them stay in Washington only under
surveillance, while the other went so
far as to believe that they would have
the right t. vote in the house. run
down the corridor and vote on the
same measure in the senate.
The powers that be finally decided
that they should be given seats at
both ends Of the capitol and the privi-
leges of the floor, but not of voting.

THE STORY.

SCT HOU art early, but I am always
i more than glad to see thee!"
and as the king entered the room he
extended his hand to the stalwart
young man bowling before him and
warmly clasped him in q momentary
embrace. He had taken wonderful
fancy to this energetic oflcial. and
welcomed his comings as he did no
other prince of the realm. There was
a fascination about the strong per-
sonality of the young man which held
the man of maturer years. 1t took the
king back to the days of full strength
OF his own young manhood and made
him feel again in the push and en-
ergy and keen ability of Jereboam
the thrill OF the old ambition for the
accomplishment Of great enterprises.
From the moment that he had first
discovered the young man at Zereda
he had realized that he had gained a
master hand which would make pos
sible the carrying out of some plans
he had conceived for the beautifying
and strengthening of Jerusalem. And
80 he had eagerly admitted Jereboam
to his condolences and finally had COM
mitted to his hands the work Of build
ing the beautiful Milo and repairing
the difiicult breaches OF the royal
city.
Thus brought into almost daily con-
tact with the king the acquaintance
had grown until . strong intimacy
existed between the two. The at.
tendants in the palace soon learned
that OF all the kings guests Jereboam
was the most welcome and understood
that the king was never too busy to re-
ceive him. For this reason on this
morning on which our story begins
they had hastened on to tha apart
ments Of the king In response to the
request of Jeteboam. who had pre-
sented himself at 20 unusually early
An hour and had asked for the king.
And in response TO the kings warm.

CANA, a.

Ot. Paul, MINI, Feb. .. 1S0s.-Pres-
eut indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw IN exceptionally
heavy movement Of new settlers from
the United States this year. II should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This 10 not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to
realize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties. but also because the railroads
have awakened to the fact and are
offering rates to the Canadian North
west which are exceptionally favor
able.
The lines which lead to st. Paul
from the east and south are offering
homeseekers' rates to the Canadian
Northwest this year which are on
parity with those In existence to the
southwest for couple OF seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent of the Canadian govern
ment, who will be pleased to give all
information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt OF
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston.
Alberta, January 29th, says:
This winter up to January 25 was
nothing short Of marvel, In fact, 1t
was the finest anyone can remember
for twenty-five years though there
have been others nearly as good. The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and
gloves. ETC.. were discarded by most
people In the day time. There was
80 little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trouble
after the first inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm. II there is an early spring.
winter wheat should gain great
start"
Amongst the reports of the yield
of last year the following extracts are
taken:
H. Howe, Of Magrath, Alta. writ
ing on November. 1907, says: II have
10 acres In crop, 80 acres Of wheat and
seven acres Of oats. My average yield
of oats was 35 bushels to the acre.
and OF wheat IS bushels. The value
to me was $35 per acre."
J. F. Haycock, Of Magrath, writes
In November: II had 65 acres In win
ter wheat, which went 60 bushels to
the acre; oats averaged 80 bushels. I
also had IL tons of hay worth SO
per ton. I got 600 bushels Of pota-
toes from three acres Of land; I got
eight tons per acre from five acres of
sugar beet"
J. F. Bradshaw, Of Magrath, had
1000 acres Of winter wheat last year
which averaged 1914 bushels to the
acre. The value of his farm products
per acre was: Wheat, $31.60; oats,
| $11.20 and barley, $25.15.

sERMoNErTE.


Lifted up hIs hand against
the kIng."-Jsreboam had gained
the favorable regard Of King
Solomon by his ability, industry
and bravery and had been gener-
ously rewarded with high POSI-
tIon and great authority, being
made chief over the most power
fuI 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.
q Jereboam was not the first
Ipan nor 10 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. y
Place side by side the pic.
lures Of the bright auspIcjous be-
ginning and the gloomy, dismal
ending Of Jereboarn'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, he sent his proph-
ct to him to plead that righteous
ness and truth and devotion to
God might control his life, but
he turned q deaf ear to Gods
voice and he prostituted his
sacred trusts to the realization
Of personal gain, and Just az he
sacrificed the friendship Of the
king 90 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 tho place
and power thus conferred upon
him to the hurting Of his friend.
Thus we find Jereboam repay
ing Solomon'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-
sonal gain.
A false friend! How repul-
sivc the thought! How unworthy
any member Of the human fam
lily. And yet how often are such
met with. There 10 nothing
which 30 wrecks ones faith In
human nature az to have those
from whom we would naturally
expect the most prove false, and

have been shown them for per-
sonal gain, but to the positive
hurt Of the former friend.
