TOWN OPEN TO MOTORISTS.
Mount Desert, Me-, Finally Agrees to
End Fight on Machines.

Every road on the Island of Mount
Desert in Maine will be open to auto
mobile traffic next Sunday This was
decided upon at special town meet
ing held in that town last week.
At the last session of the Maine
legislature an act was passed opening
the town to automobiles In July. This
victory was won only after a hard
fight. and it was thought possible the
nhabitants of the town of Mount
Desert might invoke the referendum
and stave off the question for one or
two years more. A special town meet
ing was called, however. the matter
considered. and it was decided that it
would be better to open the town i'm
mediately. so as to get the horses used
to machines before the rush of travel
in July and August.
There are four towns on Mount
Desert Island-Eden, in which is To-
Gated the famous summer resort. Bar

I'm Prince William county, Virginia,

And this loss of business will grow
larger each succeeding year. Why?
Because of the need of the compare
lively small sum of $4,000 with which
to improve these two short stretches,

number 95 per cent ask to be routed

learns that to visit this city means the

stricken from his itinerary.

commercial Washington Is out 1880

When an automobiles applies at
the A. A. A. touring bureau for the
best route from Boston or New York
to Richmond. Atlanta or Jacksonville
he is informed that the most desirab bio
route is via Philadelphia. the Lam
caster pike to Gettysburg. and thence
down the Shenandoah valley. Seeking
information concerning the trip to
Washington, he Is told that il he
would continue on good roads Wash
tngton must be considered a side eX-
cursion. And this is true.
while the above is not the most di
rect route. it is the quickest and least
expensive. The reason for this is OBJ
vious to every autoist. The logical
route. Of course, is Washington Fred
ericksburg- Richmond. and with this in
mind the Richmond Washington high
way project was planned and started,
with the result given above.
Not only would the completion of
this project benefit Washington in SO
far as tourists on pleasure bent are
concerned. but 1t would bring this city
closer as a market place for Virginians
living near the road.
THE question naturally arises as TO
why the $4,000 is not obtainable at
In answer to this it must be said vir-
ginia does not assist her counties
financially in the building of roads
other than supplying engineers, and
that in Prince William the money can
not be raised by taxation. Neither can
1t be raised by popular appeal, as.
in this particular county, following a
direct route, the highway brings no
benefit to the county.
Tho highway thus far has been con-
structed with Virginia money. Tho un-
and. as this city would reap the great
est benefits from the completion Of the
road, II seems plausible that some ef-
fort should be made at this point to
procure and place at the disposal OF
the builders the necessary $4,000.

How to Treat an Enemy

While David was growing bigger
and bigger, because of his a%dventur-
Gus, difficult life, King Saul was
dwarfng steadily into pettiness. Mean
passions INDUCED make the soul mean
Hates arrows are boomerangs. Small
ness of spirit shrivels the soul. So
Saul, once great and noble, became
morbid and maudlin, fierce and gusty
anger alternating with cringing self
abnegation and sycophancy. His word
was no longer a kings word, but a
slaves, and his own retainers failed
to respect or obey him. No clearer IL
Illustration can be found in all history
of the truth that it is not the sceptre
but the soul that makes the king.
A frenzy of fear and jealousy and
nate drove Saul far and wide in pur-
suit of David, as his spies brought
him word. He held himself up to
popular ridicule, as with an army Of
three thousand men he chased hither
and yon, even into the desert fast
nesses, after David and his little band
of six hundred followers. The dra-
matte contrast between the two is well
put in David's complaint. which is al
most a taunt: After whom Is the
king of Israel come out? after a dead
dog? After a flea?" Really, the king

noble vindictiveness.

once he was in the unseen back of a
cave palestine is a land of caves),
when Saul lodged neal the entrance.
He cut off the lower part of the
kings robe While Saul slept; and
then, with this evidence of his mercy
in his hand, he called from a neigh
boring hillside and asked the king
why he should hunt him as a wild
animal. A coarser nature than Ia
vid's would have slain the enemy and
ended the pursuit. But David had
a fundamentally reverent spirit, and
he respected the oil of amounting
which had made Saul Jehovah's man.
He would not lay hands on the Lords
anointed.
This clemency made the king
ashamed of himself for the moment,
and he made maudlin promises to
David. But the latter who had learned
not to put his trust in princes, still
kept safely out of Saul's reach.
Again, when Saul slept in the GEN.
ter of a barricade and his army, with
Abner the captain of his host by his
side, and his spear stuck upright in
the ground at his head, chieftain fash
ion. David and Abishai drew near to
him and he could have ended the fued
at a blow. Doughty Ablshai begged
permission to strike only one blow at
the king; a second would never be
needed.
Despite all p~rovocation, David would
not put forth his hand upon the
Lords anointed. Whatever others
might do to him he would be mag
unanimous. Thus he kept his own soul
safe from his enemies; for vengeance
reacts upon all who indulge in 1t. The
big man can afford to forgive and to
wait; the little man strikes on the in
slant. David conquered both Saul and
his own soul.

early letters of travel, and tracing
in them the originals of persons and
places and scenes in his later fiction

the stuff of which his literature is
made. To understand the psalms of
David one must look back into these
hard days when he was hunted as n
bird in the mountain. Out of this
soul bitterness grew the sweet songs
that have solaced souls for centuries.
In hard living he acquired a high
message. The broken heart sings
most sweetly.

homelessness. cold, ingratitude. dis
loyalty, insults. dishonor, enmities-
of such bitter herbs as these was
brewed that sweet draught of poetry
and inspiration which has refreshed
uncounted millions of parched spir-

fitted for a throne by his outlaw or
deals. Far more than that. By his
sufferings he was trained to be hu-
manity's p~oet-laureate. Even at the
uttermost cost, the price was small
that he paid for the privilege of i'm
