Armies In Old Testament Times.

All through ancient history oriental
armies had no sentinels, and thus in
the Bible King Saul when he was pur-
suing David slept without any guard,
so that David stole up to where the
king lay asleep and took the cruise OF
water at his head with him q Samuel,
xvii. A striking illustration of this
was when Alexander the Great, ac-
companied by his chief officers, enter
ed the lines Of the Persian army the
night before the decisive battle Of Ar
bella and found that there was not one
of the sleeping host who observed
them. We can readily see, therefore,
that a panic might occur by sudden
night attack on an army so carelessly
guarded and that Abraham's company
might easily have taken advantage of
this.-Dr. William Hanna Thomson in

graduate, and are seeking an OPP
pOrtunity to get start in life'S
work remember that although you
are getting along in years and
still at the beginning. 1t will
probably shock some of you to
learn how little you know. But
you are well equipped indeed if you
possess the ability and willingness
to work the right way. To many
Of you it will be difficult to OBJ
tain an opening. You will be obi
ged to 60 out and make applica-
ton to strangers for an OppOrtun-

ton. When you approach a man
on this errand, don't go into his
office with your pocket stuffed
with recommendations from your
college instructors, from your pas
Tor, or from the banker where
your father has kept his deposit.
Sometimes a letter from one per-
SOnal friend to another is of some
value, but business men know that
any incompetent weakling can US
ually get recommendations for thu
asking, and such letters are really
of little value.
l once knew a young lawyer
who went into a law office in Kal
SaS City in search of desk room
Win perhaps a small salary if he
could get it. The old lawyer
whom he interviewed had no room
in his office, but he was attract
ed by the earnest manner of the
. applicant, and told him to leave
his letters and he would see what
could be done later. The young
fellow replied II have no letters.
| have done nothing as yet that
will justify anyone in giving me
letters. I could get you a bushel
of letters if you want them, but !
would prefer to have you try me
and see if l am worth anything. "
His honesty appealed to the old
lawyer, the lad was given an op-
pOrtunity, and of course he made
good.
Within the last thirty days a
new Mayor in Kansas City has
had several thousand men seek
ing political jobs. The applicants
could fill the small places, the
Jobs were clerical and unimport-
ant work was to be done, but the
important positions, the places
where men of highest efficiency,
and the greatest reputation for
integrity were esSnetial, went beg
ging. At least half of them were
filled by citizens who accepted
them under protest, and only from
a sense Of public duty. Men who

public positions can receive high
er pecuniary cOmpensatiOns in
private work.
When you are trying to carve
out your position in life, try to
remember what you yourself
would want in another person
from whom you were seeking sim.
liar service. If you want a car
penter to build you a house, you
want a skillful carpenter; a
preacher for your church, you de-
mand a devOut and enthusiastic
preacher. The world is seeking,
is demanding increased efficiency
in every vocation of life. More
skillful physicians, better archi-
tectS, ADLER lawyers, more scholar
ly teachers. You in your student
life demand the finest athletes, the
ablest baseball players and the
best football players so that you
may beat Missouri. That is right
and no one shouts louder than /
do when you are victorious; but
you must remember that athletics
Is your recreation and not your
| life work.
Down in Kansas City there uset
to be a sign on a saloon opposite
the City Hall that read: eff bust

Now I like to see a man en-
thuSiastic In all that he under
takes, but l don't like to see him
too enthusiastic. So, cOnfiden-

don't stop your school work; and
to that extent l would beg you

PREFERABLE TO SMOKING.
Trenton MatrOn Scores Tobacco
Users in Fair Sex.

TRENTON, Jan. 17.--Mrs. George
Heustiss, prominent in Trenton society.
has begun a crusade against smoking
by women, and h expects to have
enough supporters to carry the move-
ment throughout the United States. She
will direct her efforts particularly
among society wornen not particularly
here, but all over the nation. Mrs.
Heustiss's sentiments have already won
her many supporters, and she now
plans to devote much time to the cru
eade.
In giving her opinion on the subject,
Mrs. Heustiss said:
ut Is a disgrace for any woman to
smoke. 1t not only affects her PERI
sonality but lowers her character even
IN the eyes of her most sincere friends.
a woman should no more think of
smoking a cigarette than Of commit
ting suicide. In fact, 1t would be bet
ter for her to end her life than become
addicted to~Sthis habit. I cannot con-
denim all women who smoke, because
some of them have been trained to
NOV no better, but women who pose
as intellectual and who are supposed
TO set IN example for the less cul-
tured. who smoke w In private, are
to be severely %censured, and should be
publicly denounced, as they are a
menace to society.
IF a cultured woman smokes cigar
ettes or uses tobacco in any form she
IS a disgrace to womanhood and a dis
grace to her family.
Il think all women's clubs should
take this matter UP n begin the cam
pafsn at home, that is. among their
own members"

TRENTON, Jan. 1T.-School girls
taking up the course of domestic
science at the. Carol Robbins School
will be compelled to eat what they cook
hereafter, because of the belief of the
instructors that this will force the
scholars to exercise more care and pay
more attention to instructions.
Just what the result will be is a.ques-
ton. 1t Is claimed that some scholars

the course as a pastime and make all
sorts of UNBEATABLE things just to pass
the time away. 1t is feared that the
new ruling will provide more work for
local physicians and the hospitals.
The course is compulsory at this par

We're only compelled to taste their own
cooking, and then make a report of the
value. Now IL a scholar makes six bis
cults she will have to eat them all or
