Love.

David's piteous wall over the death
of his traitorous son, Absalom, touches
all hearts, Would God ! had died for
thee, o Absalom, my son, my son.
He would rather have lost his throne,
even his life, than his son. He was a
true father and his wall expresses the
feelings of the universal father heart.
The true father stands ready to die
for his children. God is a true Far
Their. AS Absalom rebelled against
his father, so have all men rebelled
against God; and God has demon
strated his love for his rebellious
children by laying down his life, in
the person of his son, to save them,
And as one after another rushes on
in his rebellion, the Father in heaven
grieves for his erring ones even as
the Man of Sorrows grieved over sin
full men while in bodily presence
among them, and the voice of his
wondrous love is " calling after
them, "Oh, my son. my son!"

On Vacations.

1t is related of Stewart Edward
Whites book, "The Mountains" that
once upon a time a man happened to
be staying in hotel room which had
originally been part of a suite, but
which was then cut off from the others
by only a thin door. through which
sounds carried clearly.
1t was about II o'clock when the &C.
cupants of that next room came home.
The man heard the door open and close.
Then the bed shrieked aloud as some
body fell heavily upon it. There
breathed across the silence profound
iy deep sigh.
"Mary." said mans voice. "I'm
mighty sorry didn't join that Associa-
ton for Artificial Vacations. They un-
dertake to get you just as tired and
just as mad in two days as you could
by yourself in two weeks"

Henry Ward Beecher was never a

made the preaching end of the work
his chief concern, and left the flock to

But once in while he would decide
that he owed it to his parishioners to
make round Of calls. He himself told
the following story of an incident which
had occurred on one of these expedi-
tions.
lie had made out list of names had
got the addresses from the church di-
rectory--perhaps an old one-and was
taking them in their most convenient

1t was very modest house, and
when Mr.. Beecher rang the bell he

at keeps me hustling to make enough
money so that my wife, Goldie, can
take her annual elopement," Harry
Green told Magistrate Carey to-day as
he swore out a warrant for Samuel
Shore, his brother-in-law, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer. Green averred that
his wife, whom he married in Russia
thirteen years ago, had formed the
habit of eloping with Shore. a tobac-
conist, about once every year.
He didn't mind 1t so much, Green
said, only Goldie had left him a near
bankrupt when she took her unannounc-
ed pilgrimages with Shore, who is mar
ried to Green's sister and has 5-year-
old son. A year ago last July this pair
ran away together, said Green, his
wife carrying with her $500 of the
family funds. They were traced to
Montreal, Hartford Comm and other
places, and returned to Philadelphia
only when they became financially en-
barrassed.
Green declared he had been saving
up ever since the last elopement, which
came Sunday night, when his wife took
everything that she could conveniently
carry, including $4OO cash and about
$400 worth of jewelry.
"She even took my wedding suit that
/ have preserved all these years." said
Green in pathetic tone. Maybe she
will marry Shore some day, when my
sister and | obtain divorces, and then
he won't have to buy any wedding
clothes. She also took a number of
household articles, and it looks as
though they mean to make long stay
this time. l have done my best to keep
them apart, but it's no use.
"She packed up while l had the two
children out for walk, and when 1
returned, shortly after 10 o'clock, the
rooms upstairs looked as though the
sheriff had been there Maybe they
had a wagon-I don't know. Well, I
must get busy now and make some
more money, because Goldie may want
to elope next year again"

foresees by wip.ng out the Japanese
army during the last war.
Never, in our military history" he
writes, "has Russia sent out forces Of
such strength as in September, 1905,
when we unexpectedly received the fa-
tai news that an agreement between
our representatives and the Japanese
had been reached at Portsmouth"
General Kuropatkin hopes that
with an understanding with European
powers, Russia will be given an oppor-
tunity to use all her armed forces in
a fight with Japan, or with Japan and
China"
"In a very short time China and
Japan will be ready to throw into
Manchurxa an army of more than a
million and half armed men," he
says.
Supporting his statement that Rus
sia could have whipped Japan at the
time peace was declared, and that "fu-
ture historians must say that victory
was assured to Russia" General Kuro-
patkin says that by August, 1905, the
japanese army was as good as routed.
"MOre men than Japan's whole
standing peace army of 10000 had
been sent to their graves by Russian
soldiers. There were over $4,000
Japanese dead. Japan's 315O00 re-
serves were disheartened; it's credit
was impaired.
"To all appearances the Japanese
were troubled even as to how they
could secure ammunition for their ar
tillery.
"The japanese could not fail to be
worried by the coolness toward their
successes which began to be shown by
the powers of Europe and America"
says Kuropatkin, further summing up
Japan's alleged distress, because ut
was not at all to the interest of Euro
pean powers to permit a complete vic
tory by the japanese"
Kuropatkin closes his article by de-
claring that Russia herself must i'm
prove before her army can be any bet
ter. A military uniform, now, does not
designate valor. The word General
means nothing.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
When the early settlers of the great
divide" had crossed the plains of Iowa
and Nebraska, and begun to ascend the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains, they
found, what most invaders of Il new
country find, new disease with which
to contend. The MormOns are believed
to have suffered from its attacks, and
the emigrants who followed the Nor
mons almost certainly did. although it
is only within the last ten or fifteen
years that the nature of the disease has
been recognized.
Although its causes or at least Its
manner of spread, and its symptoms are
known, it still lacks suitable name,
1t has been designated tick fever and
spotted fever" but there already is a
'tick fever" of cattle, and both typhus
fever and cerebrospinal meningitis have
been called spotted fever" SO by way
of distinction, it is spoken of as Rocky
Mountain spotted feve,.
1t is encountered in all the mountain
States, but is most prevalent In Mon
tana. Spring is the time when the dis
ease prevails. 1t is absent ut other
seasons. 1t Is disease Of the country,
and town dwellers-those who stay In
the town-are apparently exempt, the
greatest sufferers being surveyors, pros
pectors, ranchmen. lumbermen and 9th
ers whose work takes them into the
brush. 1t was these facts that gave
the clue to the way the disease is be-
lleved to be spread, namely. by the bite
of tick, just as the germs of malaria
and yellow fever are conveyed by the
mosquito.
This creature begins to be unpleas-
antly active early in the spring, as soon
as the snow melts, but ceases to bite
and almost disappears by the end of
June or the middle Of July. The first
cases of the fever appear with the melt,
ing of the snow. After the middle of
July no cases occur, the period Of prev
alence of the disease thus coinciding
exactly with the tick season.
The disease begins with the usual
symptoms Of fever-chilly feelings
headache, nausea, loss Of appetite and
soreness of the muscles and joints. The
fever rises rapidly, and lns rather
high, although irregular, throughout
the disease.
The eruption, which gives 1t Its name
appears on the third or fourth day,

1t is in the form of scattered points,
up to the size of the head of pin, and
persists throughout the course of the
disease, fading as the fever subsidies
then scaling occurs, as in measles.
The fever lasts from two to six or
seven weeks. 1t is serious disease,
death occurring in more than half of
the cases.
