CROWDS INSPECT
u. S. TORPEDO BOAT

Keokuk, June 23-An almost con-
tinuous line of landlubbers clambered
over the United States torpedo boat
Sommers while she was moored near
the head of the government lock Sun
day morning. 1t Is estimated that sew
eral thousand people inspected the
long, rakish appearing ship OF war.
which is much of marine novelty on
inland waters.
The Sommers has been given to the
Illinois naval reserves for warship
practice and navigation and is sta
toned at Quincy, fdm which port she
arrived early Sunday morning. AS
there has been public announcement
of her coming, hundreds of people
surged through and over this wasp OF
the sea shortly after she tied to the
bank. The Sommers visited Keokuk
about month ago, but as she an
chored out in midstream few had an
opportunity Of making the close In
spection they desired. Yesterday she
nloored at a point that afforded every
convenience for reaching the warship.

BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

central shrine and capital of Israel
until David came to the throne fol
; which his hard and bitter experiences
had fitted him. David captured Jeru
salem, which, from that day to this
has never ceased to be capital OF
human hearts Only yesterday great
convention of American Jews
shrewd, modern business men-were
thrown into frenzy of fervor by an
orators picture of the return of the
Jews to the land and city Of David
Przemysl may be captured or recap
tured, but that Is a mere incident
alongside of the fate of Jerusalem,
the city which David put on the
worlds map.
The two triumphs of David's reign
were the establishment Of a strong
capital at Jerusalem and the bear
ing Of the Ark of the Covenant to
central place therein. No nation is
safe and strong until the symbol OF
Gods presence and favor has been
put at the very center Of its national
life. The ark in the midst Is as es-
sential as the bulwarks and walls. Re-
ligion unifies people as nothing else
can do.
"A King Who Failed Whom Successful.
A hot house is a poor place to grow
oak trees. Beneath rigors OF psrse-
cution, David's character had been
strengthened His outlaw life made
him a king. Hardship is by no means
the worst lot that can befall youth.
Most of the leaders of life In great
cities were Injured to toll In boyhood.
King Davidb failure came in the
hour Of his success. Victory defeated
him. 1t led him to take his ease and
to loll in his palace when he should
have been at the battle front. Ease
enervated him. In idleness he yielded
to temptation. Davids great disaster
befell during the hour Of regal glory
He sinned by following the path OF
self indulgence. When he began to
entertain sensual thoughts, he soon
gave rein to his worst self, and ended
by becoming murderer and worse.
Poor David-to climb 80 high and fall
so low!
Out of the depths comes David's
voice with a message for all mankind.
In the crucible of suffering and sin
he learned the lesson of forgiveness.
His own soul was scared but he cries
aloud for all to hear that there is mer-
CIV with Jehovah. David Is finger
board on the highway of history, point:
ing men back to God. No life Is lived
we'll that is not lived with respect to
a loving Father In heaven. ....

TWO MEN AND ONE CROWN.
The International Sunday School Les
son for June 27 Is "Revlew-David,
the Shepherd Of Israeli Ps. 1855
70


When we pause to think Of 1t, the
fact is remarkable that more than
twenty-five millions of persons in the
Sunday schools of the world have for
the past three months been studying
series Of lessons that have to do
with men and women who lived three
thousand years ago, Even while a
world war RACES, the incidents, the
characters and the petty battles of
little nation off in an obscure cor
ner OF the earth, have been engaging
the attention of group Of people
who are practically counterminous
with civilization. Not only thrones
and crowns and empires are now tot
tering in the balance, but also an en-
tire order of social life. Neverthe-
less. we find time to think about the
primitive struggle for the crown OF
the loosely kingdom OF Is
rael. Saul and David have been fg-
ures of contemporaneous interest
around the whole world.
Wearing the Crown and Deserving It
This old picture of an unfit man
on the throne and fit man In exile.
is true to life. Merit does not always
win The prizes Of life do not invari-
ably go to deserving, else all the
mighty OF earth would be men OF
noble character. Frequently the
sceptre Is in the hands of Saul.
That is one OF the factors which
makes our present social order so far
from the ideal.
Still, the old story has a present
message in that David, prosecuted
and exiled, still played the part Of
king. He could be royal off throne,
even as Saul could be ignoble and
mean on g. throne. Kingliness is In
character and conduct. and not In po-
sition. Any of us may have royal
soul If not royal seat. It is more
regal to be a David in night than
Saul in fury.
Since the wheel Of life Is ever turn
ing Saul and David came to their
rightful destiny. We cannot deter
mine success or failure until the last
act of life is Overland it may even
be necessary to go behind the stage
in the great ante-room Of eternity, to
know VINO have greatly played their
parts.

TABOR COLLEGE IN
JOHN BROWN PLAY
STUDENTS GIVE PAGEANT TO
OBSERVE CIVIL WAR FIGURES
LAST DAY THERE.

Tabor. June 23-The past week was
filled full of interest for the students,
alumni and faculty of Tabor college,
who took part in or were entertained
by a program Of exercises consider
ably more elaborate and ambitious
than anything that has hitherto been
attempted here. The climax to the
week of festivities was pageant rep
resenting an early day in Tabor-John
Browns last day in Tabor.
From the records and from the Few
survivors of those thrilling times
perfect replica Of the day and others
of it's character we're given and in
which the Indians figured largely.
John Browns last day in Tabor
was quite as exciting as were most
of the days he spent here with the
slaves that he had stolen in Missouri
and other southern sections and
which he had brought here by the
underground railroad of that period
en- route to Canada and freedom. But
the majority of the people Of Tabor
resented Browns methods and at a
mass meeting asked him to desist
from foisting the negroes upon the
community in the way in which he
was doing. Most Of the people, in.
dividually, aided him in his work
John Brown did not like to be thus
addressed and left that night with
the dozen darkies he had with him.
and never returned. Tabor was for
years one Of the most important points
on John Browns route and he had
stored here one cannon, hundreds Of
rifles and much ammunition

ALLOW NO TIPS
At TER THE FOURTH
WILL BE VIOLATION OF STATE
LAWS TO OFFER GRATUiTiES
FOR SERVICES.

Des Moines, June 23.-Those persons
who live, or who add to the high cost
Of living by soliciting and accepting
gratuities, and those persons who cur.
ry favor and attention by the giving OF
tips, will be without occupation after
July 4, IL the giving and accepting OF
tips may be classes as an occupation.
On the nations birthday the Hage-
man bill, which was passed by the last
Legislature, becomes law, and 1t not
only absolves the general public from
giving tips but prohibits the accept
ance of them and provides as penal
ty fine or Imprisonment for those who
violate any Of its sections.
Penalty For Tipping.
The new law provides that every
employe of any hotel, restaurant, bar
bershop, or other public place. and
every employe of any person, Arm,
partnership or corporation, or any pub
lie service corporation engaged in the
transportation of passengers in this
state who shall accept or solicit any
gratuity, tip or other thing Of value
or of valuable consideration, from any
guest or patron, shall be guilty OF
misdemeanor, and on conviction there
of shall be fined not less than IS, or
more than $26, or be imprisoned in the
county Jail for a period not exceeding
thirty days.
Every person who shall give or oRer
any tip or gratuity to any person or
employe prohibited from receiving or
soliciting them, shall be guilty OF
misdemeanor and shall be punished on
AnN nv q
mo Tipping Allowed"
The person who shall knowingly per
NIT violation Of this act in any place
under his control, or who shall fail to
keep conspicuously posted IN every
place under his control notice bear
Ing the words mo Tipping Allowed"
shall be deemed guilty of misde-
meanor and he shall be punished as
prescribed by this act.
The law Is said to be the most dras-
tic of any OF the anti-ttpp1ng laws
passed by any of the states. 1t Will
operate to cut off goodly part OF the
revenue Of porters on sleeping and
dining cars running between this city
and Chicago, and vice versa, unless the
tipping is done in Illinois.
Porters in barbershops also Will be
sufferers unless they make a charge
of Ave cents for brushing the cloth
ing Of the patrons. Dining room girls,
walters and other help en-
ployed in public places will lose much
of their income by reason OF the law.
Conditions are not as bad in Iowa as
in some other states, where tipping Is
in operation 1t has been charged that
in Chicago there Is trust controlled
by certain men, who pay large sum
annually for the privilege of furnishing
walters and cloak room keepers to the
big hotels. Men and women have Deen
known to accumulate fortunes through
gratuities It is doubtful II the evil
has been as badly abused in Iowa as 1t
has elsewhere, but If the new law is
observed and obeyed all easy money"
will be cut off, and the person who
gives are accepts it, If found out, Will
be hauled before some -unfeeling mag
istrate and either fined or sent to
prison.
