Solomon
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old SiVTaSh-"

COLOMON, whose other name has
not survived the wear and tear OF
- time, was the son of David, King
of Israel, and was born with golden
spoon, inerusted with Jewels, in his
mouth. He was a handsome young man
and a great favorite with all who knew
him and when David passed away and
left Solomon to run the country there
was general rejoicing
This was about three thousand years
ago, and the government at that time
was in a very crude and unstable con-
ditiOn. Most of the worlds kings up
to that time had been mere amateurs IN
the art. but Solomon took hold OF the
Job as if he had a university course IN
civil government. He made wise laws and
used so much cOmmOnsense in settling the
disputes of his people that his wisdom
became a byword, and the queen OF
Sheba. a country which is not now in
cluded in the annual commercial re-
ports of the world, made a long jour
ney overland on a rough riding camel
in order to meet him and gain q few
pointers IN jurisprudence
Solomon rebuilt Jerusalem and built
a new temple which was so magnifi-
cent that the limited vocabulary of the
time broke down under the attempt to
describe it. He wrote songs which are
still among the best sellers and for
titled his country so successfully that
hostile kings passed it hurriedly BY and
agriculture flourished as never before.

Up to the point Solomon's reign was
a great argument for benefieent des-
pOtism- He ran everything and did It
so successfully that nobody objected,
and when he had to double the apprO-
DriatiOn for court every year owing to
the high cost of wives. the people merely
pointed with pride to the high price of
corn, and the general prosperity of the
land and the hiOh grade of Circassian
beauties which were being imported BY
carload lots for the rOyaI harem
Matters went o npleasantly until Sol
ONION had accumulated upwards of
700 wives, only one OF two of whom
were not Jealous. Then complications
appeared Solomon grew old and it be-
came increasingly difficult to tear him
self away from his harem long enough
to sign treasury warrants. Bills for
hats and gowns mounted to incredible
figures, and when the enemies of the
kingdom paraded around the outskirts
once more it was discovered that owing
to the large appropriation for perfumery
the war department had been stinted
and was struggling along With swords
OF an obsolete model. When Solomon
died the country was in a state of
seething discontentment and under his
son 1T parted with a loud bang.
All of thieh teaches us that wise men
can run country successfully. but that
the country ought to test said men for
intelligence about every four years with
great care and throuOghness- Copy

Ready For Winter
By Walt Mason

Is the furnace oiled ready for its task
Not much longer in soft breezes NAV
we bask, for the winter soon is due,
with its sting and storm and stew
that's the reason, GENTLE reader, why I
ask. Have you banked the house the
wav it ought to be? Have you got
pile OF kindling fair to see? Have YOU
got your winters slate ready for the
stove and grate2 Oh, YOU ought to try
and pattern after mel For old Winter
never hits me unawares; I am ready
when he rips around and tears, with
my briar and nv book, in the cozy
inglenOOk, with my feet upon a half a
dozen chairs. All, the careless man is
always In the hole; when the billiards.
and the tempests start to roll. he is
raging here and there, in his fury and
despair, begging dealers for a basket
full of coal. And the dealers view his
coming with frown, and they wilt him
with glance and turn him down, for
their phones are bringing in, with clan
gor and din, appeals from every cor
ner of the town. How l wish you'd have
some sense You careless crew. How [
wish you'd look ahead day or two, and
be ready for the storm with a house
that's good and warm, and a larder full
of tempting things to downright.
