THE GREVIOUS DECISION

Next, Rehoboam called the young
men, his friends and acquaintance,
his schoolmates, whom he was dis
posed more and more to bring into
power with himself. Their advice
was that the one way for monarch
to be successful is to irtimidate his
subjects and rule them with heavy
hand. The young king had not
been rightly taught the principles
of Justice in human affairs. Wise
as his father was, he had neglected
to prepare his son for proper de-
cision in the crisis upon him.
The king followed the advice of
the young men and, in fgurative
language, said, "You claim that my
father made your load heavy, and
you ask me to make it light. In
stead, will add to your load; my
father chastised you with whips,
but l will chastise you with scorpi-
ons-a whip with metal pricks at
the ends of the thongs" The un-
wise decision lost the king the
greater part of the kingdom. The
ten tribes revolted, and the adjacent
kingdom, which bad been under
Solomon's sovereignty also, defect
ed, and left the king but a small
minority of his empire, although it
was the richest, most influential
portion.

SOLD IERS' HOME BOARD
REPORTS TO GOVERNOR

Pierre, 8. d., Oct. 1s.-The report Of
the Soldiers home board has been filed
with the governor. It deals largely
with the care OF the wives Of old
soldiers who are allowed to ACCOMPANY,
their husbands to the home, and live
been erected for that purpose. The
proposition that they be admitted on
the same footing as the men, does
not meet the approval Of the board,
which desires to keep that part Of the
control in about the same shape as at
present. There have been four cot
tagcs erected on the grounds the past
year, making ~ such structures up to
the present. The attendance for the
last year was not quite up to that
Of the previous year. For the year end
Ing June 80, 1909, the attendance at that
date was 261, with total Of 1866 cared
for during the year. At the close Of
the year ending June 30, 1910, there
were 256 at the home with a total Of
S52 cared for during the year.
Attention is called to the fact that
$6,646 was turned back into the state
treasury out Of all the different funds
provided for the home, which is the
first time In the history of the home
that there was surplus.
The commandant of the home rec
ommends increase in salaries for
the officers and employees Of the
home. and for the expense Of the
board. His recommendations are for
increases Of practically $1,000 a year
In the salary appropriations, and a
decrease Of about $1,000 in the gem
eral expense accounts. making an an
DUAL reduction Of about $4,000.
The general situation at the home
Is reported to be good and the home
with record of being one of the
best conducted homes in the country.
Since 1t was established in 1889, the
home has cared for 1874 soldiers,
and the wives of many of these men.
