A SON OF SOLOMON
Interesting Personality Of the late
King MeneIik.

Interesting Personality Of the late
King MeneIik.
Whether or not the legend is true
that King Menelik Of Abyssinia was
descended from King Solomon, the
remarkable old monarch often show
ed wisdom that was worthy Of Sol
omon at his best.
A man was once brought before
Menelik because he had killed another
by falling on him from a high tree
while the two were gathering nuts.
To be sure, a branch had broken, and
the wholly involuntary fall had near
ly killed the man who fell as we'll as
the one on whom he landed. Never
theless, the family Of the dead man,
taking advantage Of the Abyssinian
law, sued the survivor for "blood
money" and in default of it, demand
ed his life. When the case was final
ly appealed to King Menelik, he said,
Very we'll; you have a right to this
mans life, but the law says that he
shall die as his victim did. Let one
Of you, therefore, climb that tall fig
tree, and fall on the culprit." The
family of the dead man preferred to
let matters stand as they were.
Solomon himself could have done
no more than Menelik in welding
many hostile tribes into a united and
independent nation, to which he gave
at least a veneer Of civilization. He
had q strong and interesting person
ality. Europe learned respect for him
in 1896, when he crushed the army
that Italy sent against him, and won
general recognition Of Abyssinian in
dependence. He was an absolute des-
pot, yet a benevolent despot, dignified
courteous, and far-seeing, who asked
nothing more Of the world than re-
spect for the integrity Of his king
dom. He attended personally to the
conduct of government affairs, down
to the smallest details, yet regarded 1t
as in nowise beneath his dignity to
rush from diplomatic parley in order
to help catch a calf that had escaped
from the royal barnyard.
Menelik once described the coun-
try owe. which his STRIPPING grandson
will now rule as "for fourteen GEN.
turies an island of Christianity in a
sea of pagenism." The Abyssinian
form of Christianity is of the Coptic
rite, and quite distinct from that Of
the Roman or the Greek churches. 1t
has successfully resisted all the at
tempts Of European missionaries to
change 1t.
The country itself is "the Switzer-
land Of Africa mountain citadel
that overlooks the broad valley Of the
Nile. Its size is about equal to that
of Texas and California together, and
it's people are about 100000 in
number.

Making and Breakins.-Senator
Hitchcock was talking about New
Year resolutions, according to the
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
Resolutions are a good thing to
make, a bad thing to break" he said.
TOO many men seem to make reso-
lutions only to break them afterward.
They are like Smythe.
when Smythe came home very
late on January I'd. a cigar in his
mouth, and an odor Of alcohol about
him, his wife said, bitterly.
"Only yesterday you swore off late
hours, whisky and tobacco, and now
look at you! You've broken all three
of your resolutions
"'Well, dearie-hic-what Of it?"
said Smythe, in a hurt voice. I can
hic-make others, c-can't 70"

Eventually, Why Not Now?
REAL ESTATE BROKER.

There are scores Of men in York
county who are convinced by reason
Of the overwhelming testimony that
has been placed before them during
the past fifteen years that the MU-
TUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE
CO., offers the BEST there Is in life
insurance and who expect eventually
to apply for policy. Many Of them
have voluntarily told me Of their con-
victions and intentions. To each and
every one I beg to reiterate the fact
that Life Insurance Is re-eminently
a NOW proposition" for the reason
that no man has a guarantee that he
will be living tomorrow or IL he is that
he can successfully pass the rigid
medical examination required, and be-
sides, 1t will never cost any individual
less to start with than NOW, but will
COST MORE as the days go by. At

WANTS DEAD FISH
SENT TO BUREAU
Government OFFICIAL Asks Deputy
Reichman to Ship Some
Herring.

ThaGdeus Surbe., assistant in the
governm snt bureau OF fisheries, at
the state hatchcries at Freeport, Ia,
requested Deputy Game and Fish
Warden Reichman to send him some
of the fresh water hs.r,ng which
have been dying off here in great
numbers recently and for which no
cause could be assigned.
Mr.. Surber called the deputy war
d,sn up ovel. the telephone and said
that he had seen the story in the
local papers and wanted to know If
there was anything more to add. The
deputy told him there was nothing
more to add, and asked him what to
do. He suggested sending scme Of
the fish, which Mr.. Reichman is mere
than willing to do.
Yesterday afternoon after receiving
the telephone call Deputy Reichman
went across ths river expecting to
get some of the fish to send to the
state hatcheries On account of the
high water around the dams the deaa
fish had evidently been washed out
Mr.. R Rsichman will secure some, how
emer, and send them as requested.
The high water and the birds are
evidently two causes which are con
tributing to the scarcity of the dead
fish around the wing dams

garding the wholesale dying of these
fish, but no reply has yet BEEN hear;
