Gathering the
Workmen.

Solomon asked Hiram, king of Tyre, to
help him in the construction Of the temple,
and desired him to send some of his subjects
with his own to Mount Lebanon to cut down
timber, "for the Sidonians are more skillful
than our people in cutting OF wood" He also
offered to pay the woodcutters whatever price
Hiram fixed. Hiram replied that he would
be subservient to Solomon In all the things
and have many large trees of cedar and cy-
press wood cut down, and would send them by
sea In floats to the place appointed Tor them
To be delivered, so that they might be taken

wheat and barley each equivalent TO
100000 gallons, OF 100000 bushels; while the
quantity OF oil and wine was each equivalent

be equal to about $500 hogsheads.
Solomon raised a levy OF 10000 men to cut
timber They were divided into three shifts.

JOHNSON AT ABERDEEN.
Letter From Former LO-
cal School Superintendent About
Schools and City of
> Aberdeen.

A letter from Supt. H. c. John
son, who entered upon his new posi-
ton as superintendent of the schools
of Aberdeen, s. d., at the beginning
of the school year, brings the intel
ligence that although he has been a
very busy man since going there, yet
he has enjoyed every minute of it.
The responsibilities are much greater
than they were here, involving much
more administrative work, as they
have a high school corps of fourteen
teachers, besides the special teachers,
and six ward buildings outside of
the high school, and a new modern
building in course of construction.
He has been compelled to acquaint
himself with many lines of work
that seem hardly like school work,
and the reorganization of the school
system has been found necessary.
lie says, 1.-THE land registration
is bringing tremendous crowds here,
and to a resident of DEBORAH it would
be extremely interesting to appear
on the streets of Aberdeen and see
the rush here and the crowds of
people. Lodging houses and resi-
dences are filled. This is true not
only during registration, but at all
times. l never saw town of this
size with such crowds coming and go

of course expect number one. Mrs.
Whitmell also registered and she is

year, no doubt, we will be farming
