THE STORY.

gsRRY MASTER, we needs must flee
N1lest the king of Syria catch thee
as bird in snare" exclaimed the
servant of Elisha one day as he rushed
into the presence of the prophet. The
young man was all out of breath with
his running, and in broken sentences
he went on to explain how he had
CHANGED to be passing through the
city's gate as two strangers had en-
tered and had overheard them ques-
tioning those standing in the market
place as to whether Elisha the prophet
had come thither, saying that they
had important tidings for him, and
when they had received an Affirmative
reply, they made as though they would
search thee out in the city, and then
by another route they passed out of
the city and fastened away.
And why thinkest thou that they
were emissaries of the Syrians?''
asked the prophet, calmly.
did not follow them, and noting
that they were making for the outer
gate to the city, l fastened thither,
and from place of concealment near
the gate / overheard them say as
they passed out that Syria's army
would not be long in sweeping down
upon the city. But we have time to
fee ere they comet" exclaimed the
young man, his voice trembling In
fear.
Nay" rejoined the prophet, I'm,
moved, "the Lord sent us to Dothan
and here we shall remain till he bids
as go. Cannot God save us from even
the might army of Syria?'
YES" reluctantly admitted the
young man, his fears not by any
means dispelled; "but how, if we re-
main here while the army descen6s
upon the city? The people of tho place
will deliver thee into the hands of the
Syrians to save themselves, and thou
knowest how that the Syrian general
has sworn that he will have thy life
for the many times thou hast dellv-
cred the king of Israel out of his
hands. 1t Is for thee that he has been

thither how can thou hoIe to escaped"
God will provide way" was tie
confident response, and the prophet re-
sumed his reading out Of the scroll he
held In his hand, and his servant
turned dejectedly away. He was too
loyal follower of the prophet to flee
from him. If he was to perish, he
would perish with him, but he felt GER
tain that to remain in Dothan meant
to certainly fall into the hands of the
Syrians.
Perhaps the Lord v Ill yet send my
master away" thought the young man
to himself as the afternoon wore away:
there is yet time"
But the prophet remained busy with
his reading and gave no sign that he
would do aught but remain where he
was. The young man watched him

Unearthed confederate Treasurs.

More than 100000 In confederate
currency and about $4,000 In gold coin
and bullion was unearthed by the
prong Of plow on Bret Knox's farm
near here by the planter, who had
just taken the reins Of the mule In
hand In an effort to show negro
hand how to ditch" trough intended
to carry the accumulation of water
from the plot Of ground in cultivation,
says Blue Mountain correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The treasure is believed to have
originally belonged to Samuel Fl.
Thompson, whose father was promi-
nent in the confederate cause during
the civil war, but as there are no
heirs Knox will retain possession I'M
less claim is made.
The confederate bills were mostly Of
SIS, $40 and 500 denominations, and
were so widowed from age that they
fell to fragments when handled.

ADDING LIFE TO THE TOWN.
Summer Festivities Can Be Made
Helpful as Well as Entertaining.

The village store is a department
store on a small scale. BY it the
wants OF the community are supplied.
sometimes, perhaps, there is not trade
enough for store to confine itself to
only one line. While the farmers
wife and daughters are looking about
with view of buying their dresses,
MS sons and perhaps himself like to
look at the clothing, the hats and all
kinds of wear for men. The up-to-date
storekeeper should see that the wants
OF all are attended to. He shouldn't
give a prospective customer the op-
portunity to go elsewhere. He should
IND out what the customer wants, and
II it is not in stock, give him to I'm.
derstand that it can be gotten for
him.
Every town of any size has some
festivities during the summer season.
II it is not customary to have such
events in the place, the merchants
should get busy, and If nothing else,
get up horse race, a display of some
kind, and 1t will be found that the
people will appreciate it.
One live business man in a town
can do lot single handed il he sets
out in the right way. There Is no law
to prevent the starting of a contest
among the farmers. Get up a list Of
prizes for the ones bringing in any
and all kinds of products. Make the
contest one that will attract atten-
ton. Let the clothier give a suit Of
clothes, the jeweler a watch, some
thing useful, it matters not much what
it may be, for the biggest watermelon,
the greatest apple or any other thing
grown by the farmer. Have unpreju-
diced judges. Have the deal a fair
one. 1t will bring people to the place
and this is what pleases the townspeo-
pie as well as the residents of the
country.

for other purposes.
The Oskaloosa Water Company has
