The Story Of Queen Esther

The Jews were terrified, and Morde-
cal urged the queen to go to the
king unbidden, though against the
law, and intercede for her people.
After much urging the queen decided
to go. even II she should perish. On
approaching the king she became 30
frightened that she fell before the
king in faint. The kings heart was
touched and he caught her up and,
extending his golden scepter, assured
her that her petition should be grant
ed, TO the half Of his kingdom. Then
she invited the king and Hannah 20
u banquet.
That night the conscience stricken
king could not sleep, and he called for
the Scribe to read the court re-
cords, and the account of the king
being saved by Mordecai was read,
whereupon. the king declared that
Mordecai should be rewarded.
At this point Haman entered, and
the king exclaimed, "oh, Haman, what
shall | do unto the man whom the
king dclighteth 70 honor"
The conceited Hannah. thinking, Of
course. that the king meant himself,
replied, Let him wear the royal APP
parel, and ride on the kings horse
thru the streets, and let the kings
most noble prince declare before him.
Thus shall it be done unto the man
whom the king delighteth to honor"
The king then commanded, Take
the apparel and the horse as thou
hast said and do even so to Mordecai,
the Jew"
Following this, at the banquet, when
the king again asked Esther for her
petition. she exposed the base revenge.
full plot of Haman. At this the en-
ragged king ordered Haman to be
hanged on the gallows which Haman
had prepared for Mordecai.

COLLEGE DAIRY HERD SHOWS
nl6H Per CENT OF BUTTER FAT

Some questions have arisen OF late
in regard to the butter fat content Of
the milk from the college farm dairy.
To satisfy not only ourselves but the
inquiring public also. Prof. Montgom-
cry and myself have just completed
an official test OF the entire herd.
The entire herd gave a general av-
GRACE of 3.5 per cent which Is % per
cent higher than the general require
ments Of the laws OF the country and
cities controlling the sale Of milk.
Some of our cows tested as high as 4
per cent. which is extra good. The
lowest any COW tested was 81 per
cent, which is not very bad.
have been told that the college
herd was tested about two years
ago, and the general average at that
time was about rs per cent. So you
can see that the latest test shows
some improvement In the butter Fat
content OF the milk now produced.
will say in conclusion. that the
cream can not be separated from Hol-
stein milk by the gravity process as
easily as 1t can from the milk from
other breeds OF dairy cattle; the
globulcs of fat being heavier do
hot rise to the top as readily as
the other.

Ahasuerus, king Of Persia, gave COM
mand to choose out of the virgins OF
his realm all that were most beauti-
full. When he had collected great
number. the most beautiful Of all was
adjudged to be Esther, Jewess,
whose parents were dead and who
had been brought up by her uncle,
Mordecai.
The king had given command that
this maiden should be most daintily
clothed and cared for, and, when she
was brought before him, he fell in
love with her at sight, and made her
his wife. Her uncle then moved to
Shushan to be near Esther, whom he
loved as his own daughter.
The king had made a law that none
should approach him on his throne,
unless they were called, and men
stood about his throne with axes
ready to slay any who disoDeyed this
law. However, II. on the approach Of
anyone, he held out his golden scep-
ter, they should not be slain.
Some time after this two men plot
ted against the kings life. This be-
came known to Mordecai. who warned
Esther, and the king was saved
Mordecai was not rewarded for this
deed then, but was allowed to be
about the palace, and record was
made OF his action.
Haman. the most powerful ruler Of
the kings realm. was allowed free
access to the king and was worship
ped by all the people. almost as a
god. But Mordecai refused to bow
down to any but the true God.
This SO angered the proud Haman
that he decided to have revenge. He,
therefore, went TO the king and base
ly misrepresented the whole Jewish
nation, and secured an edict to have
them all destroyed.

THE VETS WIN
The long contested local option cleo
ton In Georgetown was declared to
be victory for the whiskey forces
by the Court OF Appeals. Saturday.
The election was held In 1871 and
most OF the voters In favor of local
option remained at home because
they understood that the election was
Illegally called.
The point at issue was the failure
of the sheriff to post notices Of the
election at the time Indicated by the
law. the court holding that the word
shall" referring TO the exact num-
Der OF days was not mandatory.
