THE STORY.

WHATEVER the trouble that had
w overtaken Mordecai. Queen Esther
felt confident that she would be able
TO help him. So confident was she of
this. In fact, that when she had dis.
patched Hatach with her last message.
telling MOrdecai that whatever his
trouble she would help him. she quite
dismissed the matter from her mind
believing that Hatach would be able
TO afford the relief which her cousin
needed
In this frame Of mind she continued
her planning for some social function
which was TO bring the women OF the
palace together and help to relieve the
tedium OF the place, and was quite I'M
prepared for the message Of Hatacb
when he presented himself at the door
of her apartments the next morning
and pressed the importance Of a secret
interview
What tidings bring you:'. cried the
queen in some alarm, for she saw by
The countenance OF Hatach that he
vas the bearer OF ominous udings "1s
Mordecli safer"
Yes. and no. Hatach replied. And
as for ourselves os Jews we are all in
peril" And he went on TO Tell her
OF the decree which the king had sent
forth at the prompting OF Hannah, CT.
dering that all the Jews In all the
realm, both old and young. mer. won.
en- and children, should ON 6 certain
day be slain.
And Mordecai pleadeth with thee

Scripture Authority-The Book of
Esther.
Personal History OF Esther.-It is i'm
possible to identify Esther with any
queen mentioned In profane history, and
It Is most probable that she was a favor
ite concubine to whom the title OF queen
was accorded. The name Esther Is Per-
Sian. being the translation of the He
brew name OF Hadassah. She was a beau
uful Jewish maiden whose ancestor Kish
had been among the captives led away
from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar when
Jehoiachlm was taken captive. She was
an orphan. and was brought up by her
cousin. Mordecai. who had an office in the
household of Ahasuerus. king of Persia.
and dwelt at "Shushan tho palace -
When Vasht was dismissed from being
queen. and all the fairest virgins of tho
Kingdom had been gathered at Shushan
Tor the king to make choice of a sue
cessor to her from among them. the
choice fell upon Esther. The king was
not aware, however. of her race and
parentage. for Mordecai had straightly
charged her that she should not reveal
IL. SO II was that when Hannah the Aga
Cite made representations to the king
that the Jews scattered through his
realm were pernicious race. he gave
iiaman full power and authority to kill
them all. young and old. women and chill
dren. and take possession of all their
property. The means taken by Esther

people and her kindred are fully related

Ten Bushels More Corn to
The Acre.

Laet sprlng a year ago | read
In your paper where some tar
mer made fifty bushels more corn
on ten acres OF land than he had
ever made on it before by the
use of a disc harrow His way.
| remember was To double disc
the laud before turning, then
turn with good two-horse plow
and harrow with good drag
harrow At the end OF each halt
days blowing, while the soil
turned up is still moist
This may look like lot of
work to put on land but il pays
fin e in north Georgia. think it
pays best on stiff bottom land.
When you double cut the land
you can turn it just about twice
the depth yon can without the
cutting; consequently by the
process YOU get a fine seed bed
used the foregoing process on
thirteen acres of land that | had
helped to cultivate Tor more than
thirty years, and | think it made
ten bushels to the acre more than
ever saw 1t make before. You
notice that operation made me
about 130 bushels corn extra or
the thirteen acres, which was
very good pay indeed for the
extra work.-W. ID. Hasty in
